1/64 Model Collectors Thread

DaBox put up some new ones. Red and blue FDs, and the Reebok Skylines and the TAKATA NSXes....

Stop.

 

[AOS-]

DaBoxToys hasn't updated their store with 1/64 in a while though, so it came as a huge surprise when it came about. Those FDs sell out pretty quick from what I remember.



While redoing the index page, I found I'm going to be ridding of a lot of my Nissans. If anyone wants your GTPlanet Membership Discount, they better be ready to snag it up soon before I list it elsewhere.

Depends on what you have.

I'd be able to tell you right away if I have access to your site again.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Site isn't up to date.

So, I thought I'd share what came in the mail today:

When I bought the Mazda on eBay, the way it was presented made me think it was a normal sized Tomica. Even the description said 1:64 scale. I opened the package, and couldn't find it. Then I looked in my palm.

Still awesome though!

@Daniel008 - Sweet Skylines! 👍

@Avalonbug - Had that happen to me, if description said "1/64", I'd ask for either partial, or full refund. It can be pretty tricky with those "capsule" Tomica listings. I don't know if you are familiar with the capsule toys, but they are basically those 25, or 50 cent machines you see at the entrance/exit of department stores? These little toys are sometimes referred to as "capsule" because they come in little plastic capsule. Again, if they listed it as 1/64, seller has the obligation to make it right with you. How much was it anyway?(w/shipping)

Got my KMart boxes. Got two regular Datsun wagons.....and crap for everything else. There went the $80 I could have spent on the $uper instead. And now I don't have any money, so it'll just have to wait.

 

[a6m5]

Good news! I still had that Acura HSC I don't like, but I just sold it on TTP!

If any of you are interested in any of the mainline muscle cars I have(or any mainlines), send me a offer!

Dang. Sorry to hear that Jason. If it makes you feel any better, there are more $uper 510 than the mainline wagons in this thread....... probably too soon.

Well, nobody will want the fantasy cars so I'll be donating those too the Goodwill or something. Cano can have his pick of the exclusive colors, then the rest go on eBay for cost and listed as long as it takes to get rid of them. Won't be able to shell out $60+ on the $uper wagon for at least 2 weeks.

Pic of everything.

@a6m5 It was only $2.32, free shipping. Plus, I've never had one like this and it's still cool. I won't ask for a refund but I'll just leave a poor feedback.

Might have to wait until Saturday.

I had a interesting sale on eBay, which I just finished turning in my request to cancel the transaction.

I got bit concerned when they requested I put the eBay item # on the package. Guy had Japanese name, with eBay ID with "fuk" in it, which I figured was short for Fukuoka in Japan. It seems that it was.

Anywho, I googled his eBay ID for heck of it. I found so many posts on so many sites, eBay sellers crying they got ripped off by these guys. They claim that they received positive feedbacks, but weeks later, this buyer group claims that item was damaged, and demand full refund. eBay generally backs them up on this. If damage claims are coming in weeks after the delivery, these "damages" are being discovered after the items were delivered to, not in California where I've agreed to ship to, but in Japan.

I'm not sure about the legality, but as far as I'm concerned, my responsibility transfers to the buyer(the broker) once they sign for it. After they sign for it, ship the item to Japan, and some dude over there whine about the condition the item is in, I'm not at all interested in what he has to say.

This particular account was flight2fuk, but they go by many names(other international city/airport names). This is one of the sites where I found the complaints. I recommend blocking them from your eBay auctions.

Message I submitted to eBay transaction cancellation request:

Spoiler

After researching your eBay account, it became apparent that your organization is brokering goods to Japanese buyers. While this is fine, there are numerous reports about damages to the items being filed against the sellers, not at the time of the delivery, but weeks after the transactions had concluded. This is big enough concern for me to request cancellation of our transaction. I also ask that your organization block my seller ID to avoid any future dealings.

Thank you.

@a6m5 It was only $2.32, free shipping. Plus, I've never had one like this and it's still cool. I won't ask for a refund but I'll just leave a poor feedback.

Oh, heck. For $2.32 shipped, I may even give him a positive feedback. I'd probably give him lower stars for the item description though. Cool car, even better price! 👍

It's like the time I grabbed a 1:24 under the impression it was 1:64. Listing never stated anything though.

Well, nobody will want the fantasy cars so I'll be donating those too the Goodwill or something.

You could make back some money if you list ask the fantasy cars in low-priced lots.... or if you plan to buy more cases in the future, you could gut all their wheels and auction wheel lots. You better someone will pay at least 10% more per dollar per each pair of axles.

Oh also....

Go nuts. All 3 colours of the 935 being auctioned: No.3, No.1, Plain White... I was thinking of bidding, but I decided to go for the Minichamps instead because I like their wheels more.


P.S. a5m6, your TTP link doesn't work for users that aren't your own. It kept linking to my profile page.

 

[a6m5]

@AOS- Has someone else linked those Porsches in here before? They are on my watch list, too, though I'm also not bidding on them(at least I really doubt it).

Here's the a5m6 link(sorry about before). I want to get rid of the mainlines, but send me any offers. I wouldn't recommend this to international members though. Postage would be too high.

 

[jtl46]

Sorry about the cases Jason. Definitely a "win some/lose some" proposition.

Just got into LA today for JCCS on Saturday. Been keeping Japan the theme all week, and went with Matchbox today:

Tomorrow all TLV Police. One shot of each model I have.

Anything strike your fancy?

Bread Box and AAR Cuda are no brainers for me. That Salt Shaker in chrome and yellow also has me looking too.



2 Matchbox Dinner Tacomas for $25 currently. Don't let it get away.

New Mad Propz. FTW.

Sure those Tacomas will start at $25, but they sure as hell won't stay there.

 

[AOS-]

I'm exposing those Tacomas. Don't let that single bidder get away with murder!

It has a reserve of who-knows-what. My guess is the blue hood Tacoma will settle at an affordable price in the coming months, but the problem is the white hood is better looking and more rare.

 

[Ken]

Just picked these up yesterday while running errands.

 

[AOS-]

You boobs saw this yet?

http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2014/09/26/minicars-2015-hot-wheels-x-jnc-datsun-240z/#more-34520

Some new Datsun 240Z mainline. It looks pretty cool. I sold all of my Datsuns recently, but I kept the TH.

 

[Ken]

That is pretty. Good paint on it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Agreed.

 

[AOS-]

Good livery on it. Better than 2013 one.

Agreed.

 

[Spacegoat]

Much better than the 2013 version. Me likey.

 

[Cano]

Best 240Z so far.

 

[a6m5]

I hate the rims. I like that FTE style?(similar used also on Modern Classics). New Civics had them, too. I like those skinny spokes. That's just me.
