Hot Wheels and Matchbox in Local Supermarket

Unlike in some countries where Hot Wheels are usually found in supermarkets, it is not the case in Singapore. Over here, you could find them in toy stores, children stores, gift shops and collectibles hives.

Recently, I saw a few racks of Hot Wheels in an NTUC Fairprice Xtra outlet, which consists of a supermarket as its mainstay plus a limited range of other goods like electrical appliances, bedding stuffs, clothing, stationery, toys, crockery, cutlery, utensils and travel luggage. 

While those few displays of rudimentary cars were nothing to shout about, it was nevertheless a welcome sight for anyone who has an eye for diecast cars. 

Within the month though, I was pleasantly surprised that the inventory of cars has been expanded to include more Hot Wheels and other makes such as Matchbox and I am more than happy to be able to collect the following:

Set of '23 Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 + Aero Lift

MBX European Highways:

1) 2007 Audi R8

2) 2011 Mini Countryman

3) DS 21 Pallas

4) Range Rover Evoque

5) Scania P 360

Blue Highways II:
1) 1963 Austin Healey Roadster
2) 1957 Ford Thunderbird
3) '16 Chevy Camaro Convertible'
4) 1956 Aston Martin DBR1
5) '56 Jaguar Xk140 Roadster

Majorette: Dodge Charger R/T and Jaguar F-Type R

The following two Majorette diecast cars make for a good pairing and illustration on how diecast collection can make us more observant.

First up is that there are different shades of orange and that orange goes well with black.

Both cars have pretty detailed and sleek liveries which show the painstaking production process. 

Their front grilles and rear panels are surprisingly detailed, as well, for these two models which are not specified as premium.

And, when a collector finds good value for a diecast car at a decent price such as these, it keeps the hunt for diecast gems alluring.

Happy hunting, with sanity check so as not to go overboard, and remember to maintain a balance life for your own sake and that of your loved ones.
