Flaming HOT Display Cabinet

I was busy last week rearranging my display cabinet. It was very hard to decide which line in my collection would deserve a slot inside my glass display case due to the limited space. The glass case has 4 slots and my Batcave used up 2 slots on top.

I finally chose my multi branded & scaled cars that were painted in Black with Flames. I used to collect this line religiously but when the Tomica bug hit me, it became a part of my side collection.

I still get a few pieces every now and then, so this line is still growing slowly.

Here are photos during the set-up:

trying out the right shelf height...

ooops, I need more space!

The final outcome:

Thanks for viewing!

HotWheels Tokens

Last year, I assisted Richwell Trading, Philippine distributor of HotWheels and Matchbox, in organizing a diecast car exhibit. It was a mall tour event that ran for more than a month. It was very tiring during the setup of each mall event but it was all worth it.

They gave out tokens of appreciation to all collectors who participated in the event. It was a regular HotWheels car mounted on a customized base. I got one too but since I concentrated on collecting Tomica last year, I wasn't updated anymore with the new HotWheels release. I can't identify and relate to the car token that I got.

"Bee Like"


So I decided to remove the "Bee Like" car and replace it with my own piece from what's left of my HotWheels collection. I tried on 2 different castings, now I can't decide which one I like best. Haha!

Osaka Convention - VW Drag Truck





2005 Treasure Hunt - VW Drag Bus





Feel free to suggest and comment which model fits best to the custom base.

Black with Flames

I collect Black with Flames cars in multi scale and brand but I started out with the Johnny Lightning Black with Flames Street Freaks series in 1/64 scale. When I noticed more BWF models were available in 1/24 and 1/18 scales, I decided to get them for variety in my display cabinet. Soon more scales and brands were added and it helped my BWF collection grow faster.

I stopped collecting them for almost 2 years now since I concentrated on Tomica but I still buy a few here and there whenever I see an interesting piece off the local toy shelves. I'll be posting and updating this thread every once in a while to show photos of my BWF collection.
