Elite Transporter: Evo X

I dont have much car transporter in my collection. The one i like most so far is the '63 VW Bus Pickup from Jada ..the one from MBX real working rigs series is interesting too but the price is not appealing. Lastly i went with this simply because it also comes with an Evo X!

The Transporter with Evo X

The appeals of this car are the low ride and the decals..

detailing wise are good too though i don't really like the painting on the front lights.

i think it looks funny.

Another minus for me is the deep offset of the wheels and that the front wheels are really thin!

but it looks ok if you are not looking at it at this view..heh

The transporter also has good decal design and detailing on it. 

The flatbed is wide and able to accommodate most if not all 1/64 cars i have from any other brands.

It can be tilted to imitate real working rigs too.   

Comparison with other Evo X casting from Tomica Limited and Hot Wheels, 

I think you can tell which is which from the pictures..heheh

To me, all have their own strength and weakness in terms of looking awesome 

but overall i think tomica limited still the best as it looks closest to the real thing.

So in the end, it depends on the collector's preferences, some will just buy from certain brand, some will buy the most accurate and best and some will just collect any Evo X casting out there. Well, this one is still a good addition for me.

VW Samba Van

One of many popular castings to collectors is this samba van,
or its other name; T2 Bus, produced in 1951! surprisingly i could still see it on the road sometimes,
and in a very good condition too.
in fact, my friend even told me any VW car is a collector's item..
so if u wanna start in a new brand of diecast start with its VW first, he added..heheh
Not my 1st Maisto by the way but the 1st one to be loosed and taken pics of.
Maisto has improve a lot lately in its new releases of cars.
for the retail price of rm18-20, it is a good rival to Hot Wheels Speed Machine series and maybe even Tomica Limited, especially since new models of Tomica Limited have been a little bit boring lately to me..heh






The chrome engine is really cool..heh
The top part has a separate piece that could be open if u want to see the interior
but it will need a little bit of work though.
Anyway there are many variants for this casting by now..just grab if u like it! :)
