1/64 Model Collectors Thread

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

What car is that?

What car is that?

2015 Chrysler 200 by Greenlight. Just their prototype model. Want the model once it comes out since I work with Chryslers (rather unfortunately).

@Spacegoat I checked out the Tomica link. Very awesome. @Cano or @Daniel008 may want to check them out, too.

I was surprised by how little TLVs were featured in the article, but couple of things I was amused by:

This F-Zero looking thing. Also, this car(dedicated to Cano, & only Cano).

Yes, I saw the link to that show. Pretty spectacular. The vintage car display was amazing.

As for the car you kindly dedicated to me, Ew.

Also, grabbed the El Camino TH yesterday, so I'll unscrew Jason for once.

The styling on this car was dated before it even came out. Looks like a Hyundai Sonata.

Edit: My new wall displays will arrive today. Woot.

I can agree to that with the current Chevrolet Malibu and Impala as well. For the 200, it looks a LOT better than the 200 before. And it's a big improvement over the older one, but still no where near the Mazda 6 or Honda Accord.

New Walmart(only one close to me, ever) opened this morning. I switched shift with my coworker this morning, so I can be there to score the goods(though my target was ammo). I show up at 7:30am, line starts moving just minute or two early, all was good........ We get inside the store, but they stopped up there & would not let us proceed. Manager guy or whatever idiot with the mic start thanking everybody from the Mayor to people who put together the bins. We were 🤬. He kept going "one last thing" in this long ass speech, screwing us. After third or fourth one of those, 20 minutes later, I left. Came back at 11am on early lunch, they screwed me on the ammo(one box limit), and these three are all I found:



I've wanted the Peeps VW for some reason, so it wasn't all loss, but they had older Retro Entertainment with NFS Mustang. No ZAMAC, no snoopy, no nothing.

I also received that Black Bandit Bronco + Charger Police(Greenlight) & this in the mail:

Hot Wheels Red Line Club Custom Volkswagen Convention Series(16/3000!)

Yes you do! You need all the Skyline Vans in your life. Much richness indeed. I think I have said before that if forced to pick a favorite TLV casting, it would be the Kenmeri Van/Wagon.

I very much remember it. I ended up finding one on Amazon for $20 & change, so I ordered it. 👍

I'm sure @Cano can give you a few pointers. He's our resident toddler disappointment expert .

This may make a cool t-shirt.

And the Skyline Van is cool. Damn, that guy has a killer collection, I really like the look of the TLV Hino Fire Truck too.

Here are more of his pics:

CLK Car Collection

What a great job he did with these pics! I really don't think I need to take any pics of mine(if it ever arrive). Just check out his!

Did TLV do a good job recreating this fire engine? Not that bad.....

The ladder extends. Far. One is in the LA customs abyss on its way to me, but who knows when it will arrive. @a6m5 I think has one coming as well.

Put some buses and the Daihatsu Midget up on Lamley:

L.A..........

I will be sure to check out the TLV report!

 

[Spacegoat]

Again, nonsense. Remember what you said to me about the 260Z when I got it? Minimum of 2 pics required on something such as that. Reckon because of it's size the Ladder truck deserves at least double. Also the Beetle is awesome, such a low number too. 👍

 

[MedigoFlame]

Would love to find one of these at a flea market or something, but the likelyhood is rather low. And the prices on the internet are ridiculously high. Not a fan of this kind of stuff myself, but does anyone have a Jada GS430 they don't want?

 

[a6m5]

It looks pretty good, considering!

Thanks! Yes, the low number was a pleasant surprise!

http://lamleydlm.blogspot.com/2014/08/first-look-tomica-limited-vintage.html

Wow. I thoroughly enjoyed this. 👍

That firetruck is pretty swag.

I'd be sharing recent deliveries right about now, but I've still got an incomplete model plane all over my desk. Too bad. It's the plane's fault.

Finally got my package from Japan Booster. Didn't take pics since everyone has already seen them and the Nissan Bluebird is on it's way to work with me tomorrow.

I did get these too!

Those cases would really help me out with the "Loose wing" of my collection, but I'd prefer to make my own. Then of course I'd probably nail my hand into it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I got those at a discount because they are slightly "imperfect". I guess $25 each wasn't bad. You might be able to do something for a bit less money if you are handy with tools and are not lazy like me.

I don't know. My larger scale diecasts are what I'm looking at a display for first, then all my loose HWs. But whatever happens, I could probably pull it off.

Do I see an M1!? 👍 but most importantly

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Yep.

I found the new reason to hurry my butt up and make myself able to buy off of eBay.

 

[a6m5]

I sold the GT40, also from Hot Ones today, on TTP. M1...... I kept.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I found the new reason to hurry my butt up and make myself able to buy off of eBay.

It's a 2013 hot one.

 

[a6m5]

It's pretty old. Probably more like 2011.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Um isn't this a treasure hunt from 2008?

 

[mustang fanatic]

There is a TH version. but I think that's a 2006 First Editions version.

I wondered the same thing with the one I have.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

The only year it has orange with silver stripes is for the 2008 treasure hunt.

It looks to me more like this color

But I dunno. It could be a treasure hunt.

WTF.

Is that like a backup site for STDC, or a copy?

I enjoy looking at these pics, just to see what you have and how you organize them. Looks great.

Japan Booster just let me know that they are sending me the Bayside Motors Car Dealership from TLV when it comes out next month. It is in those preview pics on 829 Japan. I am going to enjoy taking some pics of models on that set.

Completely unrelated. Pic from my friend in Monterey. A true Hakosuka GT-R going to auction this weekend:



To make it relevant to this thread, on the same night he took that pic, I found four Zamac Hakos. There.

Your words, not mine buddy.

.......... You lucky dawg. Minimum of two pictures on such car!!!

 

[Nurburgthing.]

@a6m5 - Really want the Beetle and Squareback rool:.

I haven't posted here for ages but, I haven't stopped collecting either.

Just found a Super TH Greenwood Corvette on a long card the other day along with some older models.

I also have a bunch of sealed HW's to swap / sell and some beaters that need a custom makeover. I will never find the time to undertake custom work (time, money, space, baby to look after blah blah) so these are up for grabs too.

I will endeavor to post some pics by the end of the weekend.

I don't know. I used my phone when I went on the site.
