2015 HOT WHEELS 1ST SUPER TREASURE HUNT$ SPOTTED ON THE MID OF MAY 2014 + EARLY SNEAK PEAK - WRITTEN ON: 10.AUGUST.2014

When we just so wanna get our hands on the last Super Treasure Hunt$ of 2014 - Datsun Bluebird 510 Wagon (Spectraflame Red), admiring the beauty of it and most of us still unable to obtain one for collection, 2015 1st Super Treasure Hunt$ - Volkswagen Kool Kombi (Spectraflame Dark Green) has already been spotted! No carded form has been sighted at this time. T-Hunted site already has an early sneak peak of this model in the beginning of August 2014. Check it out..

The very first picture was spotted in mid of May 2014. This is the one.

During that time, i was manage to custom one almost like it just to have a feel of what it really really looks like.. At that time, the angles that were sighted was a part of the front view and a little part of the side of the vehicle is viewable. After it takes a few days time to completed it, let's have a closer look at most of the angles that i took to share it with you, ok.

The side tampos was almost alike just the wordings 'SURF SHOP' was not bold enough.. the interior brown color supposed to be lighter but that is just my opinion. If you look at the original version, the rear interior - the surf bords, rear seat and the engine was not painted with colors. So i just follow the 2014 Red Line Club M&M Exclusive Volkswagen Kool Kombi (Gold Chrome body color) which painted the rear interior with colors. And it is way better than no color... hehe.. :D  Luckily, the original model uses Chrome plastic base just to highlight more to bring it more attractive. Oh.. i forgot, the rear tail lights was not painted too as well as the roof top. The Real Rider Rubber tires that the original uses was the perfect match for it! I really like this wheel so much.. but i haven't venture for a Gold Chrome Steelie Wheels just yet. Might have been even better.. Well, the imagination really runs wild for this model. :) The only tampo that i have missed out is the Hot Wheels logo on both side of the body tampos. Oh.. the side tampos... really really nice.. seems like a wood style pattern outlined by light skin brown color. Very nice... indeed! :D

Whereas for the front vehicle, the brown stripes tampos doesn't really bring much contrast to it. Maybe highlight the entire stripes with lighter Silver or Chrome would do it. If you noticed the front Volkswagen logo, the original uses Silver color but i think for me, too much silver won't suited for it. So i color it White. Much better, don't you think? :)  But overall, no matter what people say about this casting, it really makes ones really....really hungry for it cause its VOLKSWAGEN indeed! :D

Like all of you out there, good luck in hunting this one down cause it might be one of the best casting yet to be enlisted in next year's Super Treasure Hunt$ list eh.. :)
Thank you for viewing my blog and all your time.
I will be seeing you all soon. Take care! :D

2014 HOT WHEELS VARIANTS UPDATES - SUPER & REGULAR TREASURE HUNT$ #206 DATSUN BLUEBIRD 510 WAGON (SPECTRAFLAME DARK RED + CHILI RED) - WRITTEN ON: 10.AUGUST.2014

As you might aware that since the mass spreading of the Super Treasure Hunt$ Datsun Bluebird 510 Wagon has been on sale at net, one special thing that caught my attention is that not just the variants in wheels that we have seen (in my previous post) but also the front grill of this vehicle. Some have it and some don't. Check it out.

Even with the so called "Employee's Prototype" version with the used of different real rider rubber tires, there's also has been spotted with no front grill edition.

This is the only one found so far on the net sold with incredibly high value at the end of the auction.

Even the ones that sell in bulk, doesn't seems to have found the one without front grill edition.

If you look closely on those front grills, they all have it accept that the ones on the back roll which was not been captured in photo. Even the carded ones - whether it is the INTERNATIONAL OR U.S. LONG Card edition (the International Short Card edition hasn't appear on net yet), there hasn't been much details on the front grill edition so far.

Originally, from the first edition of this casting, which is in the 2013 Boulevard series, it has the front grill pattern.

The ones that lamley group (blogger) found - whether it is regular or super TH$ version, has front grill edition.

I only manage to found one without front grill edition so far for now. Regular THunt edition.

So, for those who likes to collect this in full, always check with your seller to obtains the ones that you need, whether it has front grill or not. And for the wheels variant, it is safe to say that for now, just keep looking for the carded edition with all those variants in it is the best for ones collection. And for those who really wants it all, be patient and sometimes, you never know what you will find in the future that someone might let go of their collection and you will find what you are looking for, alright. Now, despite all these variants that we have seen so far, this model will be appear in 2014 Hot Wheels Mainline Q Cases. So look out for the official release which is expected to arrived in the Europe and U.S. regions in mid of August to early September 2014.

Hopefully there ain't gonna be lots of variants when this wave arrived eh.. :)
Alright then. Thank you for viewing my blog and will definitely have more updates just for you!
See you soon. :D
