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.

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

Reminiscing my first ever TH$ find

Found it at the pegs of Metro Dept. Store - Plaza Senayan, Jakarta back in my college days (2002) it only costed me Rp.14.900 (around US$1.50) - the retail price here in Indonesia nowdays is around Rp.20.000 to Rp.24.900 (US$2.00 - 2.50). Still manage to keep it in its original condition including the price tag sticker.

2002 Treasure Hunt$ 4/12 Lotus Project M250 - Collectors #004

This Lotus Project M250 may not be a collector's favorite but for me it has a sentimental value.. you might pick one up for around $5.00 on ebay or amazon these days, but for me as the first ever TH$ I owned this one is priceless !!

Hot Wheels Track: 2-Lane V-Drop

Yesterday my 2-Lane V-Drop (2LVD) track finally arrived, I was so ecstatic! This is my first HW Track, I've looking for this track for months.. I wanted to have a 2-Lane drag track so I can play with my whole family, having a mini drag race competition with my son & nephews (even my wife seems to be interested!!).

Lots of parts !!

Crack'up these bad boys for my first track test - lots of FUN is on the way !!

(L-R) Custom F-100, Dodge Charger - Chevy Tahoe

Finally manage to assemble it and hang it on a door just like it was meant to, don't know but the cars keep falling off (or to be exact flying off) the track. Especially on the 90 degree drop just after the cars were lifted to the starting ramp.

So I pick up some of my nephew's tracks and assemble it with the ones from the 2LVD and make it a 5m drag strip !! Whoohoo

Using my old sit up bench as the ramp base, and a used cardboard box as the stopping pit so it won't damages the car's axles

We're having a BLAST !! Planned to invite some of the neighbor for a mini race competition, but first I must get my hand on some fast cars like.......*cough* Gov *cough* 'Ner !!
