5-1-19 Hot Wheel finds: Delorean, VW Squareback and Mazda REPU

-

I decided to check the strip of stores near my Fairfield clinic. This is CVS, TJ Maxx and Safeway. CVS and TJ didn't have anything I wanted and a very limited selection.

I decided to check Safeway. I found the display stand and a quick glance netted me these 3 Hot Wheels.

If you know some of these places, the card gets bent and creased as people look and put back some of these back. 

I am not a hardcore collector anyway, so I bought the ones I liked with intentions of opening them. 

I have the Mazda REPU, but the other 2 I didn't. I liked the Hover mode Delorean from Back to the future. 

Here is a quick video of those.

The first time I got a model was in 1999. At the time, I owned a 1995 Honda civic hatchback DX. When I started to talk to Mege-san about the car scene, I saw that Tamiya had an red civic hatchback! He got me that model and sent it to me.  This was my first attempt with a model and I tried to replicate it to me like my actual car (sans the intercooler). My EG at the time: After that I dabbed in scale modeling bit by bit. I would go through waves of interests, then back off throughout the years.  The height of my interests and getting models completed was in 2004. I had visited Japan 4 times and each time, I would bring back a few models. When I was in Japan, scale models could be found in many places and of course, it was Tamiya, Fujimi and Aoshima that was my aim. The price was usually $15 to $20. Additionally, I was also in Gundam scale models at 1/144 When I stopped visiting Japan, I bought some models online, but I decided to ...

Diecast Japanese vans!

I have always liked vans. Currently own a 95 Toyota Previa LE SC and 14 Toyota Sienna SE So naturally, I would want to get diecast vans. Unfortunately, Matchbox and Hot Wheels haven't really made many vans. Hot Wheels did release a Honda Odyssey and the RR Honda Odyssey based of the Bisimoto 1000hp van. It wasn't until 2016, when I was in Japan, I picked up a few vans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USlo7dvGxbk I decided I need to get some of the older vans, so my brother Noguchi-san helped me find some and sent them to me!

Diecast car intro

Like anyone that loves toys, I'm very nostalgic. As an adult, I am more of a collector (like most) and also share the hobby with my kids I made this video when my eldest son was a few months old. At the time, I was getting older lots of used cars and rebuilding them. Now rebuilding them has a lot more resources!
