Christmas Gifts 2012

I just realized that I haven't posted the presents I received last Christmas and of course, I'll only post the toys here haha. I think this is also my way to show gratitude for these gifts and I am very happy that my friends and family support my hobby :D

The first one I got is from a family friend in Qatar. I'm not really sure how they learned about my interest in vintage cars. I'm so surprised when they gave me this. A Maisto 1:24 1967 Volkswagen 1600 Squareback. Seeing this car reminds me of pictures of the old days though, I wasn't born yet at that time LOL.

It has opening doors which most model in this scale has. I also love the rims they are very classic.

And like the VW Beetle, the trunk is in front. It's just frustrating that Maisto didn't add too much detail on the interior parts here.

But I thought it would be a nice ride for the boss.

The next one is my cousin's gift to me. This one is so funny because she was really excited to give this to me and she kept on telling that it is for my collection. When I asked what is it, she said it is from Star Trek but she's not familiar with the character. I started laughing because I didn't even watched Star Trek and generally speaking, I don't know anything about Star Trek haha. I remembered I saw some of these figures on sale in a toy store so I told her about that but she denied that it is on sale LOL!

Anyway, it's the thought that counts so it doesn't matter to me who this character is and of course it is my cousin's present haha so I'm definiltely keeping it in my collection... if I don't, she won't give me another toy present next Christmas. Errr..

The package includes the figure (Original Spock), his base, extra hand, and another base.

This is the back part of the packaging. I don't know anyone of the characters LOL. But that Transporter Room that you can build when you complete the series is so cool. It reminds me of the Iron Man Armory.

So that's all. These are two toy presents I received last Christmas hahaha always like a kiddo.. I hope you enjoyed reading too.

P.S. If you noticed, I changed my watermark because until now I'm trying to improve it hahaha. And also I tried using a blue backdrop for a change. I would love to try other colors next time as well :)

Thanks for visiting Hobby Dumpy. 'til next time :)

Merry Christmas 2012!

Hello! Merry Christmas to all! Yeahhhh It's quite late for the celebration but it's better than not to greet you LOL!

It's been a while since my last post and maybe you wonder why.. it's because I have no access to my toys right now. I'm on a vacation with my family here in Qatar and I left my toys in the Philippines. I also forgot the supposed to be my featured toy for the month! That happens when you do not prepare your stuff ahead of time.

Well the good news is, a friend of ours gave me a vintage car as a Christmas present! Big YAHOOO! Another addition to my classics :D I'll post it later to share it to you :)

BTW, my eyes are feasting with lots of supercars and 4x4 offroad vehicles here in Qatar. They are everywhere! Hahahaha.


Again, Merry Christmas to all. God bless you and your family :)

DCPH Swapment @ SM Center, Las Pinas

Last Saturday September 22, 2012, another successful DCPH Swapmeet was held and this time, I must say it's more fun! Few factors why: 1) again, it's near my place, 2) I got great hauls again. 3) awesome diecast display! :D and 4) I had my first picture with my fellow collectors LOL!

The Marketplace.

Displays:

Everyone's favorite, Disney Cars Collection

The busy Tomy Towns

Random themed

Ford F-100's

Multi-scale Supercars themed

One of the best themed display and line of collection.

1:12 scale Mercedes-Benz SLR by CMC. I'm not very familiar with the model but they say it's one of the high class brand. I'm quite sure that it's a high class by just looking at that mouthwatering detailed engine and features and not to mention its cost! Any wild guess of the price? LOL

And this is my top 1 in my list. Hummer Collection.

Very focused collection.

And that US Hummer is just awesome...

Jada's casting is one of the best for for the Hummer plus, they offer it for a very decent price.

It was really fun! Thanks to DCPH for having such wonderful event. Those displays are really inspiring.
I look forward to have my own display too in one of the upcoming Swapmeets! :D

'til the next post. Thanks for visiting :)
