1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Nooo dude, all of them are golden cars, I was telling him to keep the zamac one intact.

It's not zamac.

 

[a6m5]

I may get one RX-7..... Probably couple of Transit Connect. One Datsun truck ,too.

All the more reason why you need to make one. Imagine how much better one of your TLV Skyline Silhouettte's would look getting destroyed instead of that TL one. And that 280Z Fairlady in the same video is sweet. 👍

......... the hood does come off(yeah, right lol).

How you go from responding to a post about a post responding to zamac cars to changing the subject to the gold ones without stating so is beyond me. Silly man.

But to redo the short convo, you have 12 gold ones disassembled, and I have 6 zamacs disassembled. (crotch chops)

Also, friggin rollcage zamac Hako, I can't even find a black one :/

I can get you a black one, but you'll pay $10 for it and get 8 other cars.

My zamac with cage came from eBay, $20 shipped. A bargain to me, since I would have spent that much in gas looking for one...

Thankfully I'm able to resist most of them, but I looked in Kelvinator's blog post:

The Transit van is a definite. And maybe the Evora too, I quite like the Orange/Back colour scheme on that one

 

[yabiggoose]

Oh my, that Porsche!

 

[AOS-]

I kinda too, but I can't start a collection on that. A rule of mine to save space was that I was not allowed to start a new collection on castings that can't fit in the small-size plastic cases I have.



I've broke that rule several times before, but I'm literally down to 6 of the medium cases now. I had more and they were reserved for the castings I already collecting.

I was thinking of doing the micro car chop that Ustad thought of on that Transit.

Showing some more new Hot Wheels over the next couple of days, and then some First Looks later in the week and next week. Should be some good stuff (Porsche).

You guys should help me come up with angles to show these. Like that models to show together, which to show first, etc. And not just these, but all in the collection. Want to keep the TLV interest high...

Perfect paint test subjects. Mine are.

Eh, no, I'll pass on both

 

[a6m5]

@jtl46 I am so jealous of the red Civic. Please tell me that it ended up costing you an arm & a leg. That'll help me feel better. As for suggestions, I have none at this time(sorry). Something like model comparo between different car manufacturers might be cool(Corolla/Civic/Sentra), but I haven't given it any thought.

My last couple of purchases has been Greenlight on ebay, and here's my last one:

Actually just saw this on AmiAmi, first.

Greenlight Ford Dealership($14.94 + shipping)

International Flatbed($10.85 + shipping)

Seller said to contact him if combined shipping in the eBay cart didn't work, so I did. Not only was he able to combine shipping for free(you pay just for the higher shipping on the Ford set), he also included FedEx Smartpost option, which is the slowest shipping known to man, but also is cheaper. It came to $34.97 for everything. About what I would have paid at the local Toys R Us, except they don't bother carrying them!

 

[mustang fanatic]

THAT FORD DEALER.

 

[Johnny1996]

Flatbed!

Also the Fords.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Already been said, but I want that Porsche.

 

[Cano]

Those Durastars are amazing, saw one in the ñast club meet but couldn't afford it because $200 in Kyoshos ):

Here's an idea: short animations of the car moving, flying, and exploding. You'll bet those exploding vintage models will garner a lot of attention.

I got it from the last page. 👍

 

[a6m5]

👍

THAT FORD DEALER.

I know, right? I have few Greenlight Diorama sets, but this is the first of the 5-car set I actually wanted. 👍

Flatbed!

I've drooled over that thing long enough, it was time. Looks so cool!

I felt bad for you, just until that $200 in Kyosho bit. Screw you![/Cano]

Edit: While I'm at it, here's the other Greenlight purchase:

Greenlight Black Bandit Bronco

Greenlight Charger Pursuit

This seller combines shipping, too($15.90, shipped).

That truck is really awesome. And now, I must go find something to drink.

 

[a6m5]

I still can't believe how TLV was able to pull off those coke bottles in crates. They really exceeded expectations with those IMO.

 

[Johnny1996]

Did you think I was kidding?

I've never looked at a TLV up close,.so I don't know what to expect, but the detail makes the truck look like a its larger scale model.

The crates are really tiny, I had a hard time stacking them... lol

Worst part about waiting for packages from outside the country, is waiting for customs to do their job. No movement on tracking since Friday.

Let me guess: L.A.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yup.

 

[Spacegoat]

Ooh, the Flatbed and that Charger pursuit too. Nice one. 👍

 

[ScottPuss20]

Australian Exclusives (no, not a model line, cars unique to the Australian market)

2013 Jamie Whincup and Garth Tander Holden Commodore V8 Supercars by Classic Carlectables

Holden Monaro CV8 by Biante

I used to have one of these but I broke it, because I was only three years old

1996 Peter Brock and Thomas Mezera Holden Commodore VR by Biante

 

[Spacegoat]

Monaro and HRT VR are sweet. 👍

And attention @a6m5, if you haven't seen pics from this already. Click. Tomica event in Tokyo. So much awesome.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Wish they put on the 19" 200S optional wheels instead. But...still looking forward to it.

 

[Clocktower]

I found this yesterday.
Is something missing?

That's... something new.
