My growing Datsun 510 Collection

Its been a while since i post here, some of you might remember my early post back in 2011 about HW Datsun 510 Bluebird (Hot Wheels 1:64 Datsun 510 "Bluebird") well in time I manage to collect more of this beautiful Bluebird


510 info
Since its firs appearance back in 2009 its always been a collectors favorite. The price are raising high faster than ever. The 2009 set are consist of 3 color variants: Blue, Brown and Black. The black 510 is only available in the US market and in Gift Pack if i'm not mistaken. Whats why it is more rare than the other two, luckily I manage to find one even thou not in a min in blister condition. But the price are just right and I couldn't possibly pass it out.

2009 Set
Then came the 2010 set, consist of two color variants: White and Yellow. The 2010 came with a more aggressive tampo rather than the 2009 vintage racing look.

2010 Set
In 2011 Hot Wheels decided not to include the 510 into their mainline, but they release the fenomenal HW Vintage Racing - John Morton's BRE Datsun Bluebird 510 which was an instant sell out!! Its harder to find one than a TH$, even the BRE Racing web store already sell out (www.bre2.net) the only way to find one is from ebay or the collectors store and it wont come cheap.

John Morton's BRE Datsun Bluebird 510
In 2012 Hot Wheels include the 510 in the mainline but it was highly criticized due to the FTE2 wheels design. But still a gem to collect

2012 Set
Hopefully HW and Jun Imai already have another design prepared, cant wait to add my 510 sedan collection
