I found a pretty rare Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X by Hot Wheels a few weeks back – I was at Takashimaya just when the Hot Wheels rack was being re-stocked. As you can see in the photographs below, it is not as detailed as the Tomica model, but still a beauty to look at.

The Tomica model definitely is the better-looking model, and comes with suspension and working doors!

One of the rarest Matchbox cars to be found is the Porsche 911 GT3.

And finally, my $3000 baby – a Hot Wheels Ferrari FXX. It’s worth so much because I traveled all the way to Tokyo to get it. The funny thing is, the Japanese hang all these awesome HW models on the racks and it seems like they’ve never been touched before. Here in Singapore the good models get snapped up by those idiots who are only interested in selling them away for profit, aka scalpers. You wouldn’t want to introduce a scalper to me.

The most powerful Ferrari yet, the FXX is an experimental model based on the Ferrari Enzo.
