TiNiO Toy Cars 2018

Happy New Year! 😊

Let's greet 2018 with one of my favorite model...

The Ferrari F40 is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, two-door coupé sports car built from 1987 to 1992, with the LM and GTE race car versions continuing production until 1994 and 1996 respectively.  The successor to the Ferrari 288 GTO, it was designed to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary and was the last Ferrari automobile personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. At the time it was Ferrari's fastest, most powerful, and most expensive car for sale.

The car debuted with a planned production total of 400 and a factory suggested retail price of approximately US$400,000 in 1987 ($840,000 today), although some buyers were reported to have paid as much as US$3.6 million in contrast to its 1999 value of £140,000. One of those that belonged to the Formula One driver Nigel Mansell was sold for the then record of £1 million in 1990, a record that stood into the 2010s. A total of 1,311 F40s were manufactured.

A loose Ferrari F12 silver.

Some SIKU Porsche 911 GT2 to complete the casting. ;)

Back when I was in the US, I set loose/freed some cars. And when I returned home I have no space to put them. 

Bought Jammers for parking.  ;)

WDIBT: Back To The Future

Happy 1st of July!!! :D ;)

I'm a big fan of the Back To The Future (BTTF) movie series but I never had any on my collection until now. I can't say why maybe because I don't collect movie cars. But now, I came to realize that I am missing a lot in collecting BTTFs. :(

 Anyways, I got this Hot Wheels Back To The Future 1987 Toyota Pickup that Marty Mcfly's (Michael J. Fox) pickup truck in the movie.

Then I got my third Hot Wheels Morris Mini #77 and second Honda Civic EF (aqua recolor).

And lastly, a SIKU Porsche 911 GT2. ;)

Thanks for lookin'. ;)

WDIBT: First of June Hauls

A few weeks ago, I was at my favorite toy hunting ground, Greenhills. I had no intention to buy anything as I was just accompanying a cousin who'll do all the shopping before he flies back to the US. Then on one of the regular shops that I frequent, saw and got the new Hot Wheels Morris Mini (Cooper) #77. 

I have one waiting from my friend Mario in the US and yet to receive it. As you know, Mini Cooper is one of my main line of collection. So, I can't wait to have my hands with it so I grab one (two actually). :D

Hopefully, these will not be the last haul for the month. :D
