Ferrari 458 Italia: HW

This is probably my last post for this week. Not that I don't have any more die-cast cars to feature, it's just that they're still in the hostel office, and I wont be picking them up anytime soon, 'cos the staffs at the office are starting to complain that I always have the cash to buy stuffs online even though I still haven't paid my college fees. So I'm currently waiting for my scholarship so that I can pay the college fees and pick up my stuff at the office without having to wear an ear plug every time I go there. Anyway, here's another beautiful cast from 2010:

Ferrari 458 Italia from Hot Wheels Premiere 2010

This beauty only costs RM6.90 each, while the college fee that I need to pay is RM490 (that's 71 Hot Wheels cars!!). So it's really unfair for the staffs to complain about my unpaid fees and relate them to my hobby. College fees can wait, die-casts can't. This car would probably be gone from the pegs if I were a few days late.

Great details on the Ferrari. See the white line just in front of the rear wheel? That actually reads "Pininfarina". And you can actually read it. The macro mode on my camera isn't that good though, so you probably can't read it from here.

Rear end is a bit disappointing.

Bet the engine bay would look great if it's painted. Too bad it isn't.

  1. you bought it at Parkson too... in october last year? i knew it, after being announced it will be released in september in hotwheels collector web site, but since i frequently went to Toysrus last year, since september, almost every 2 wheels, i have not found and seen any... i doubt that there muct be some Toysrus' colleagues they caught it already, before placing on the selling tray, so depresed to me !!! Even the 1/24 MAISTO 458 RED, I JUST DIS

  7. ok, Danny, so waiting your good news about 458 or California soon(it was launched last year but with a higher price package, that's not my wish! BUT i discovered from the HW site last month it will be launched in common general price in early March!! Hope i can find it by luck !! And you're so helpful always, :) so kind and nice!! ~~

  8. no prob bro, HW collectors always help each other. I havent seen the California yet. Anyway, my suggestion is, u can always try to find it in Amcorp Mall. sometimes the price is expensive, but sometimes cheap, depends on luck. but usually can find lots of cars there. I dont go there often anymore, cos busy nowadays.

  13. I found mine @ Amcorp Mall last Sunday but no packaging (condition good)& pricy RM10. I went to most of the retail stores in KL from time to time but don't see any at all. You know these cars are made in Malaysia & yet you can hardly find them here, bullshitting Mattel (M) manufacturer, they give priorities to oversea countries especially America. I hate this country. 1Malaysia Ppptttoooeeeyyy ... !

  14. haha, what to do bro.. Mattel is US company, that's why give priority to US. they assemble here because of cheap material and labor cost. need to blame Mattel, not Malaysia... :p

    anyway, u got it loose? for RM10? hmm, quite pricy actually... carded one still can find, cos some place still restock with old stock..
