Swap-Meet session at Central Park One Utama (30th May 2009)

We just had our very first swap meet session in conjunction with the K-Zone 4th Birthday Bash!

The day was full of excitement as kids and adults alike crowded around the Hot Wheels booth to swap cars with us!

We also had another booth set up behind us filled with track sets for kids to play with!

We had more than 150 cars laid out on the tables and all of them were up for grabs! All you had to do was to give us one of your Hot Wheels for one of our Hot Wheels.

As the day progressed we started seeing more children swapping their cars than adults. It was great to see that these kids really knew their cars.

Among the request from the kids were :
-is there any t-hunt?
-do u have any skyline?

and my personal favorite.
-do u have any toyota AE86?

many of these kids walked away with thunts and other cool models such as skylines, mitsubishi lancers and aston martin v8 vantages! there was a surprisingly high demand for blimps and planes too.

The objective of the swap meet was to educate young collectors as well as their parents about collecting hot wheels. Some parents came from far with their kids jus for this swap meet! they wud bring along a huge bag of Hot Wheels with them. The was one boy who brought 2 hot boxes filled with Hot Wheels!

It was a fun experience and i wish to see more of these events happening in the near future. I believe that most of our collectors here in HWCM have children and will enjoy more of these type of events where their kids get to be involved in the 'art of collecting'.

Thanks for your support guys!

here are the pics from the event!

HWCM Gathering 23rd January 2009

Location: McD Drive Thru SS15
Time: 9.30 P.M.
Reported by: Elgee

Attendance:
- sinclair
- elgee
- arrt
- yiheng85
- retrocruise
- boneshaker
- demonicle

This week's gathering seen a much less number of people since CNY is around the corner. Nevertheless, there were still a few of us who made it to exchange stories and HWs. The star of this week's gathering is obviously the VW New Beetle Cup.


The New Beetle Cup, has been chosen to be the first club car for HWCM. The support from members has been very positive and it is proven today as well. Cheers to you guys who have sent in your Beetle Cup!

Demonicle has made it clear in the gathering that he is trying to give out as many club cars to as many members as possible. So let's keep the contributions (and workload for Rayz & I) coming in!

Sinclair brought some Ferrari 333SP from this year's Ferrari Racers Series that he purchased to share amongst the members present. The first wave has hit our shores since last month but mysteriously this car no.5 has been missing. There is still one unit left for trade I think, go ask him about it.


Also, the usual greens made an appearance in the gathering, what is a HWs gathering without those greens?


See you guys next week, as sinclair said there is always something you can get.

1st HWCM Gathering 16th January 2009

Last Friday, first HWCM gathering was on, and this was what welcomed the collectors when they arrived. (Credits to Mutt,moderator of HWCM for bringing them in, literally!)

There were also Greens going around (which members will gather without it), trades, some older cars, lots of chit chat, coke, fries and i even got to show them my custom Evo X and VII. All in all, good gathering.

Sinclair said, Yep those DD's are great. Special for 1st gathering. I already opened for pics.


Those who could not make it, please try to come for the next gathering. There is always something nice to pick up.
