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

The Untraceable Variation, Buick Grand National Revealers

From the earlier post, I have made the BGN (Buick Grand National) out of the blister.

The Revealers is extraordinary with the wheels variance, which not usually see in the team segment. (You can check)

Let's talk on the BGN, the engine revealing feature is cool. Without the hood, the modded chrome V6 3.8L engine can be clearly seen. While you just need a little harder to remove the cover. It is click on!

Vin Diesel going to drive one in the latest Fast and Furious movie, if you have the BGN black colour First Edition, it looked just the same. Unfortunately, I do not have. :( YeoCP//

Custom Volkswagen Beetle, Lovely!

A quick DIY on the VW Beetle from the currently wave, just added some lovely pictures from the Nail Decor stickers, the result looks like from decal paper.

The Nail Decor is the one use for ladies nail decoration, I find it very easy to apply and it is very cost effective (Less than RM2.00).

The steps to apply is simple,
1. Cut the shape out and remove the clear sheet.
2. Place the design face down on the surface and press firmly.
3. Wet the back with water and wait for 30 seconds.
4. Slide the back paper and let the design dry.

Still looking for nicer pictures for my upcoming DIY, as this is for nail decoration, don't expect to get racer stickers like HKS, Sparco and stuff.

Something you can try is the Tattoo stickers, it is from the same material, you should have more variety design to choose from. Have fun!

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.
