FR: 2009-05-06 MV
Colour Shifters restocked in Carrefour, if you haven't got your 2nd colour Evo X, please quickly go there, 3 left on rack.
By the way, Carrefour just got the bigger rack, more Hot Wheels can stuff in to the rack, now just being empty.
Do visit Toys R' Us, last year promo pack selling for RM17.50 after 30% discount. Still found Red Evo and R8 second variance in the package.

That all for today. YeoCP

Fastlane Fight Back
It is not hard to figure out why Fastlane (or realtoy) changed their packaging, it is really a head on to the latest 2009 Hot Wheels movement.
Not just that, the selling price for the new packaging is 1 ringgit cheaper, RM5.50. That even cheaper before Hot Wheels price increament.
The Rival
Mattel will need to educate non Hot Wheels collectors about the differences on their product vs rival. To parents or children, both may looked the same, but parents may pick the red package because of their price. You never know.
Top Portion
A Celica looked car on every cards, this is to cut production cost on art works compared to Hot Wheels packaging.
Packaging Back
Mentioned Fastlane is OEM from Realtoy International. They have more castings on Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Toyota and Volkwagen.
The Real Fight Back
Realtoy produced production cars (real cars) and they do have quite numbers of Japanese and European models. That aren't what collectors are collecting for? VWs, Hondas...
The only thing they need to do is to create a chase car series, similar to Hot Wheels, Segments series, First Edition and Super T-Hunts (with rubber wheels) will definately boost their collectors base.
Fastlane Marketing Department, think about it! YeoCP//

Field Report for Dry Season
Finally the refreshment is here! and it wraps for the weeks. Tomorrow is Holiday, I'm going to have a good resh.
Carrefour Mid Valley got a restock, it was the mixture of new and old assortments in the wave. From the observation, the models on the pegs not complete comparing to the one reported by PY (see last Saturday post).
I believe the stocks keeper still have some extra, for such big hypermarket they should have more in the storeroom. I advice you revisit the store tomorrow if you drop by for the windows shopping.
Before I left, I saw someone talking to the store keeper, perhap he did not open to see the rest.
Good luck to us. YeoCP

Tomica Marked Down
(Picture Officially from Litt Tak)
Litt Tak readjusted price to their 5 models from Tomica regular series to RM9.90 from RM12.90 started from April fool day.
The notice already on most of the department stores, repost here in case some did not noticed.
Models on new price are,
#17 Toyota Celsior
#20 Daihatsu Move Custom
#28 Honda Elysion
#33 Toyota Vitz
#40 Mitsuoka Viewt
My View
I have lost touch with Tomica for a while, can't really tell which is the newer models from the list. In fact most of the collectors do feel the same.
If just selection from the outlook, I will pick the 2 in green colours. In fact I already bought it.
This doesn't seen as the promotion for short period of time, as from the observation, Sale for the Japanise brand has been affected on the later market movement.
This can easily tell from the statistic from the discussion boards, post on the Tomica board is less than 1/10 of the Hot Wheels speed, diecast collectors are now more into Hot Wheels collection.
Bottom Line
No doubt Tomica produced good diecast, if Litt Tak seriously like to regain the market, they should consider readjust back to last year price , RM7.90, better still RM7.50. This will blur out the line with Hot Wheels on RM6.50, gain back from volume in the long run, rather than death stocks in hand.
RM12.90 isn't a affortable price to most people see it as a toy, what about the limited on RM29.90.
Last word, above just my opinion, you may not agree with me. Big Passion for Small Cars.

FR: Wrap of the week 17
Finally we saw multiple of Custom '53 Chevy by HWCM members, especially Pydrumerboy from his Tesco routine checks.
Market is very dry, perhaps, this is a good sign for end of the Blue Bird Wave, and bye bye to 2008 cards. Just a few days to May, we still see 08 cards on most of the pegs. Exapmle, TRU, I have not seen any new cards for the pass 5 months.
Still remember New Cold Storage outlet open in PJ last weeks, stocks almost finish on the opening day, Datsun Blue Birds and VW Beetles are gone in 1st day. I was there after work, left only the 2nd choices on the racks.
Few notable models for the new wave,
Dream Garage 2006 Dodge Viper
Dream Garage Lamborghini Murciélago
Dream Garage Ferrari F430 Spider
Hot Wheels Star Go Kart
T-Hunt Custom '53 Chevy
All these are my wanted list, not sure about yours, but do get your pocket ready.
Pictures courtesy of Pydrumerboy, hopefully new wave is on my way.

Yellow Evolution Colour Shifters
The 2nd Colour of Colour Shifter Lancer Evolution has out. This round with fluorescent yellow turn red colour.
I terms of detailing, the 2nd colour lose out for the side design from the 1st one. But the back is compensated with extra as the overall package.
Although the colour looks funny or rather not realistic, but many diehard Evo fans out there will never skip this model.
Would you buy anyway?

FR: MV 09-03-12
Carrefour New Ferrari F1 selling cheaper for RM17.75, normal price RM19.90.
Probably is the new casting, but the wheels is brand new design with Bridgestone Potenza wording. The timing just right for the Malaysia Sepang F1 starting next month.
Hot Wheels Pack of 3 at Cold Storage for RM19.99 (RM20.00 after rounded-up), fair price for RM6.66 each car.
All the latest models and second colour already in the packaging. See the combination below. Best combination is the Viper, Lamborghini follow by Civic, Ferrari package.
However, black Datsun doesn't appeared nice to me, I may settle with 1st colour blue only.

Hot Wheels basic 2008 assortments for RM3.90 buy 2 free 1 in Jusco Day Mid Valley.
There are many good models in the assortments, you will able to pick some from those you passed last time.
The catch for the promotion is the free cars, you have to select from the counter with very very very lousy assortments, I bet you hardly pick one.
Anyway still cheap after all for RM2.60 each car. Have a look there, promotion end tomorrow. ☺YeoCP//
PS: The one in the picture is our HWCM member??
