2013 Red Line Club (RLC)

Another DAIRY DELIVERY offering from the HWC's Red Line Club (RLC) which is a paid membership over at HotWheelsCollector.com. This limited edition only available for purchase at HWC RLC online store for member with either a US or Canada Address. No news on when the Dairy will be available, but it will be around year end.

Again the tempo and design is not so desirable. The hood stripe has been done before from other series such as the Slick Rides and Holiday. With wide body, should have better and more graphic coverage on it then just simple wording and lines on it. What happen to those graphic releases like Luna Lu and Scary delivery. Hope Mattel put in more effort in tempo and design then just line and wording.

Official News release here
 ==> http://www.hotwheelscollectors.com/news/news.aspx?news_id=1565

The Blue Dairy Delivery is what shown below looks like. Nothing special, just a plain color DD. It will come in a Baggie bag and cardboard.

Well to me this is a great promo for those that collect any of the selected 4 casting BUT, for a customizer that the promo is aim at is a bit too hefty a price. 

Now from a Collector point of view, there is NO Guarantee that the free Design car received will be what the collector wanted. How many 10's Hot wheels to purchase to guarantee the wanted casting. If you do get the wanted casting then its great, what happen if its not the wanted casting? Furthermore its only available Exclusively to Kroger stores, so good luck with that.

Now from a Customizer point of view, am no customizer but i do know i will not spend $10+ for a casting to customize on when i can find cheaper alternative elsewhere. After all the casting will be stripe of paint and such so it doesn't matter where the source of the casting coming from. Off course there the hard to find casting like the School busted, again see collector point of view.

Since am a DD collector i will try to locate this for my collections, so wish me luck. cheers.

World of Voltaire

After a couple of years waiting and watching for this 2007 Japan Custom Car Show boxset which include the much anticipating Dairy Delivery and Cadillac Fleetwood Hearse by artist Voltaire. The waiting was worth it as i received them just last week. The box set is awesomely done and the graphics on the packaging as well as on the die-cast casting itself is top notch quality.

This box set is limited to ONLY 1500 unit and is specially created for the 2007 Hot Wheels Custom Car Show in Osaka, Japan. As the back of the packaging says "not more then 2000" the numbering sticker in the box set says 1500, so i stick to this 1500 limited unit created.

The box set comes in a very nice cardboard wraparound an acrylic casing which houses the 2 casting. The cardboard graphics at front shows skeleton and skull art work of Voltaire on them.

Differences between the Dairy Delivery for this set and the Single carded is probably the most obvious, the Rims. In this set, the Rims for the DD is Red Chrome where as the Rims for the single carded is Silver Chrome. Am not a collector of wheels Variations but this set is just too nice to pass up on when the selling price is the lowest i've seen so far.

Sides of the packaging with each showcasing the design and character in the World of Voltaire. One sides is showing Chi Chian (Character on the Dairy Delivery) and the other is showing Deary Bear (Character on the Cadillac Fleetwood Hearse).

Back and bottom of the packaging with all the information details of this releases and also on the Artist Voltaire itself. Am glad and happy to own this beautiful set of cars with beautiful artwork on them. Will made a great piece in my DD collections. Now i need to find a loose for my loose display.
