I received my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! today and oh how lovely it is! Blue Datsun 620 from the K-mart limited edition color cars. There is no k-mart near me so I traded for it and couldn't be happier! I have the orange 620 but HAD TO HAVE the blue, it looks amazing! It goes perfect in my Japanese car collection.

Thanks Mr. Lau!

Ok so as I said above I do not live near a K-mart but this weekend I did some traveling and stopped by on and bought.....another Datsun lol. This car was to take out of the pack and roll around!

This thing just loves the camera....dat blue.....

I also picked us the Yellow 2000GT from big K for my previously stated Japanese Collection...now I have yellow, black, and red!

Finally, I couldn't pass up this too kool for skool funky Neon drag car! WTF, a Neon drag car?! you say...YUP...RWD with bars! It was from the 2011 drag racer series and the card was beat up but I don't care. Just look at this weird thing!

That is all for now, hopefully Mr. Lau posts up what I sent him tomorrow because it is worth a good laugh!

Cheers!

I've been wanting to take good pictures of Hot Wheels for awhile now. Would you be willing to share your technique?

I could be wrong, but I believe its a Kmart exclusive color

Seriously, it is THAT simple. All these pics were taken just as shown. 1-2 pieces of printer paper layed down and curved upward with some light from above. Just make sure you have decent light and you should be able to take some good snaps. A bit of effort goes a long way my friend!
