WDIBT: DCPH 10th Anniversary Hauls

It's end of the month once again and I thought I don't have anything to post. Hmmm, getting to be a habit. Been busy at work, not good for blogging. Hehehehe. :D

The past weekend, Die-cast Car Collectors of the Philippines (DCPH) held its 10th anniversary swapmeet at a car dealership.

WDIBT? Small Hauls

Wow! How time flies! Hi! Hello there my friends, it's been two months since I last posted. There's an old flame (hobby) that's been eating the diecast collecting funds. Hehehehe. :D  

I'll post it soon to share it here. So, stay tuned. ;)

Now, let's focus on what I got for the past 2 months. A friend from the US went home last month and brought me two packs of LEGO Star Wars Clone Troopers (to be use as props for another purchase). Then from a recent swapmeet, I got the now rare Jada VDUBS VW Beetle. And from the frequent trip to favorite toy shops, I chance upon a Matchbox Land Rover Defender and Ice Cream Van. :)

 

 I'd like to say thanks to my friends Joey (VW Beetle) and Jun (Toyota Land Cruiser) for these RAOKs (random act of kindness). ;) 

Until next time folks. :D

Thanks for lookin'. ;)

WDIBT? Unexpected Orange Thing!

The other day, I was out to see a collector friend, Maki, in his office in stock exchange to register to their sponsored race event. Yes, I'm into running which was the reason I haven't posted anything for a month. :D After registering, I went to the mall and do some toy hunting with a hot tip that Majorette's has new models (read: restock) with a Toyota Land Cruiser on its lineup. But looking at every peg I wasn't able to get a hand of it. I went from one toy store to another to no avail. Tsk tsk tsk! :(

So, I concluded, maybe some other collectors have already raided the pegs and there's nothing left. Then on my last toy store, almost giving up, I tried to look a little deeper on the racks and voila! I saw this Matchbox 5-pack and what do you know, it was the new Matchbox Desert Adventure No. 9 with the latest orange variant of Toyota Land Cruiser!!! WooooT!!! :D :D :D

Thanks for lookin'. ;)

WDIBT? 10 Packs & Cards

It's been a month since I posted here. I have been busy training on my comeback sport of running, joining race events and competing. ;)

These are accumulated hauls since November. I got the 40th Hot Wheels Super Chrome Tin Can, the new Matchbox Collector pack with a Mitsubishi L200/Triton and assorted cards of Ferrari 458 Italia & 288 GTO, Toyota Land Cruiser and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X. :)

Thanks for lookin'. ;)

WDIBT? Expeditions Galore

Here's what I got last saturday. New additions to my Matchbox Ford Expedition line, RAOK Chevy K-1500 big thanks to my friend Andy (fresh from Canada!), Hot Wheel Speed Machine Mclaren F1 and a lone Tomica Toyota Land Cruiser. ;)

Thanks for lookin' . ;)

WDIOT? Toyota Land Cruiser

The Toyota FJ40 is the model designation for a Toyota Land Cruiser 40 series made from 1960 until 1984. Most 40 series Land Cruisers were built as two-door vehicles with slightly larger dimensions than a Jeep CJ.

The model was also available under the BJ40 / 41 / 42 ( short wheelbase ), BJ43 / 44 / 46 ( middle wheelbase ) or HJ45 / 47 ( long wheelbase ) designation where it had a Diesel engine.

References to the series in this article will be to the J40 series unless referring to one of the petrol ( FJ40 / 42 – 2WD ) or diesel ( BJ4# / HJ4# ) models specifically.

I was eager to post my Matchbox Toyota Land Cruiser line when I got the green Lesney Edition. But I came to realize, I am still short of the Safari variant from the 4x4 Stars 10-pack. And so I postponed until now.

WDIBT? Assorted Items

Geez! It's been a couple days after I can post my weekend hauls. There are assorted of items that I have acquired in exchange to some non-essential (read: impulse buying) diecast cars that I sold and earned a little profit in the process. :D ;)

A couple of years back, when I began seriously taking up this hobby of diecast collection, I have my first main line in Hot Wheels...the Dairy Delivery. There was the "Holiday Rods" series. I only got two colors from the series, red and gold, but never to get hold of the remaining two colors of green and blue. But last Saturday, low and behold, Jun (a close friend of mine) offered me the complete set in an unbelievable bargain price.

Now, I have two reds and golds so the excess pair will definitely be posted on the for sale thread. Anyone buying? ;)

Then I got the VVHTF (very very hard to find) Matchbox Superfast Lincoln Navigator white which was last to be able to complete the line. I will post the complete set soon. Along with it I got the new release Hot Wheels Ferrari 308GTS blue.

Then Geoff (another close friend), got me the on sale "Mean Machine" mean plates. An additional accessories for my Ferrari display. I hope I can get to use them on an public exhibit soon. ;)

And last among the batch of hauls, some Takara Tomy Choro-Q & Q-Steer sold at a bargain price and the 40th Anniversary Tomica Toyota Land Cruiser fresh from Hong Kong care of another friend Edwin.

Coincidentally, last Saturday was also the celebration of Tomica's 40th Anniversary and our club (DCPH) together with the Tomica collector members have a public exhibit at SM Megamall.

I'll post a separate blog about it next. ;)

So, what did you buy today?

Is there an ongoing Tomica 40th Anniversary celebration in your own neck-of-the-woods?

Thanks for lookin'. ;)

WDIBT? Weekend Hauls

Another weekend with collector friends for a small swapmeet and toy car hunt gathering. I was approached by Michelle (Eric aka Decker Store assistant) to have a look at her bag of Tomica goodies and what did I found? The match awaited Mitsubishi Pajero Toy's Dream Project! Another fine piece to add to my Mitsubishi Pajero line. I will do a detail photo shoot of this line within the week. ;)

Woooooot! I can proudly say I'm one of the first two who have this fine item. ;)

Then I visited our local toy store Toy Kingdom and what do you know...I got a pair of Matchbox Toyota Land Cruiser Anaconda which was a rare find dangling on the peg this days.

So, what did you buy today?

Thanks for lookin'. ;)
