1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Nonono. Not silly Marvel, not Star Wars. I wanted to see these brand new mainlines:

That bad boy on the right.

And that puppy on the left.

There's also the recolours or previous castings I'd like to get my hands on, but there's no hurry on that since scumbag scalping employees don't know how much I value those lol

@AOS- When I couldn't find any cars to buy last night, I think I saw all of those. I bent the cards on every single one I came across, out of spite.

Whattcha gonna get?

One of the "late" Skyline Silhouettes(this completes the Skylines for me) + red "5th Anniversary" 510/Bluebird. Finally asked about that red CR-X too, but he hasn't had any luck so far. They are rare.

Oh well those are out too.

 

[Spacegoat]

Whatever, Cano. I have to go buy more TLV now(just received PM from Japan Booster).

What the status with your AmiAmi order? Mine has been shipped. Also curse you and your Skyline Silhouettes. 👍

 

[AOS-]

Yeah they're out for you guys. We've sat on K & L cases for months. I'll just check back again in September. Not crazy enough yet to waste all that gasoline and time visiting the stores.

Oh you did? Well, it doesn't affect me since those cards aren't magically going to appear at my stores.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Another Civic Si is out for those interested.

 

[a6m5]

It's nice.

What the status with your AmiAmi order? Mine has been shipped.

9th of the month & it has already shipped.

Mine won't ship until this baby comes off the backorder. I didn't really want it, but: a) it seems to be the most popular of the 3 in the series. b) car like this will maintain value, but they never get cheaper. c) I did used to watch the show after all.

Expensive as hell, but it was sold out for sometime. I just hope its collector value climb.

Oh you did? Well, it doesn't affect me since those cards aren't magically going to appear at my stores.

I hope the inventory run behind so bad, you start wishing you could find them even with creased cards. j/k

Yeah, crazy right? As you know they had a release date of late August in the listings.

Late August my foot.

Mine won't ship until this baby comes off the backorder.

Damn, love the detail in the interior. Awesome. 👍

Awesome. You must be one of his favorite customers. Using our link? Unless of course you are buying outside of ebay.

Weird things are happening, @Spacegoat + @jtl46 : I was browsing TLVs on Plamoya again. Their pricing have been really erratic(hence I already had 3 cars coming from them), and guess what? The Tokyu(silver w/red stripes) bus I've coveted from the very beginning, it went down to $32(from $100?).

This bus has a variant. One has beige bumper, comes with lighter color wheels. One I wanted has gray bumpers, dark gray wheels.

Although this Plamoya special doesn't seem to be the one I wanted(box art shows beige bumper), I frigging jumped on it, because I've wanted this thing for maybe couple of years now? It was just too much money before. Strange doesn't end there.

Since $32 sounded awfully close to the original MSRP, I went by AmiAmi to check, as they still have MSRP & their own pricing posted on their page, even long after cars have been discontinued. Obviously, this bus has been "sold out" long before I started collecting TLVs. They got it back on the backorder.

AmiAmi shows the bus with the bumpers & wheels I like, so I placed the backorder on that one, too(I know, I'm nuts over this bus). For $27 + shipping, I also recommend it to anybody who might be interested in TLV buses. 👍

Spoiler

You guessed right. I did drop your name when I asked about the CR-X, so he knows where I'm coming from. Thanks again for that, btw.

Is anyone here even collecting these anymore?

Oh my, someone's feeling sadistic today! I hope the next time you order a TLV, the seller sends you a basic Tomica instead.

Creased cards for fantasy cars don't matter to me. Only variations and errors. Especially errors.

Just found another M2 chase car.

Then and now Copos.

Ran into JDM edition hot wheels movie.

You gotta be frigging kidding me.

Aside from the Nissan Civilian, I'm not really into the buses that much but got damn those prices from both sites are excellent, so cheap! Great stuff there a6. 👍

You should get it. If you end up not liking it, you could easily double your money on eBay.

Edit: OMG, this one's even better!

 

[Spacegoat]

The pig. !

Ran into JDM edition hot wheels movie.

Ha! That was epic. 👍 Isuzu Gemini pulling out of the gas station at 0.31. That was the only car I could spot that I have in my collection. Mentioned before that you need a Tomica town, then you could totally make one of those videos yourself.

You're a bad influence, stop giving me idea's.

I totally lack patience & creativity required for the job. Did you catch that police box you guys brought up in this thread? I thought the cop was gonna get on the bicycle for the chase. Edit: My bad, police box(station) is from the second vid. It's better.

This entire thread is filled with them!!!!

Keep an eye on your Wal-Mart(s). M2 Hemi 50th anniversary cars are hitting.

 

[Spacegoat]

Yeah and it's still rad. 👍 That cop too, would have utterly hilarious if he did use the bicycle.

Tell me about it.....

 

[AOS-]

yo those videos were so cool.

The background cars were awesome. The flips and crashes were fun. And the guy had the balls to flip his TLVs off a split ramp.

Tomica movie

 

[a6m5]

Love the Legacy. 👍

I will. Walmart stores used to be a 30 minute drive without traffic. They are opening a store two blocks away from my work on Wednesday.

Yeah and it's still rad. 👍 That cop too, would have utterly hilarious if he did use the bicycle.

I was so confident that he was hopping on the bike, I was wondering how he was going to film it all.

Top notch sound effects!

I love the 280ZX(or whatever it is)

 

[AOS-]

The effects are so corny yet it is still amusing. The need for knocking civilian vehicles over and the army soldiers firing everywhere is so OTT and unnecessary. Same with the explosions.

I'd actually work with this guy to make smoother animations.



Also, daboxtoys McLaren F1 GTR LM Kyoshos for $14 USD. Go nuts, please!

 

[Cano]

AHAhaHahA Them movies were awesome

 

[a6m5]

I can't get over how that Tomica Limited(non-vintage) Super Silhouette Skyline was destroyed in one of the scenes. They do have the sillies in the right places though. Pig on the track indeed was a classic...... considering.

Edit: I think the blue police van @Daniel008 posted was in the climax from the second video?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Gets from Saturday.

Hot Wheels

M2

Auto World

 

[a6m5]

That green Mustang's been one of my favorites.

 

[Cano]

The wheels on that Camaro, yum.
