1/64 Model Collectors Thread

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.

OH5.

Anyone care for an M2 error? Finding this does not surprise me in the least.

 

[a6m5]

Thanks & that M2 is flipping awesome.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

A case.

 

[CodeRedR51]

@Cano and anyone else that's interested. Warning: large photo - zoom in to see cars better.

 

[Dagger311]

I bought the big time muscle 69 Corvette ZL1. Not opening it, so gere's a photo from online.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Can't wait for the A case definately getting the 599.

Mark would save himself a lot of time in his unboxing videos if he made a quick separate video explaining the differences in the cards, then just link to it in the description for all his videos. Even I'm tired of him explaining it every time.

 

[Emmcee]

Yeah nice to know but all I really want out of that collection is the Datsun bluebird wagon, bet that's still rare as a golden nugget.

 

[Cano]

@R1600Turbo is that wagon in the picture available?

I'm tired of Mark adding filler to his videos. Personally, I think him adding his short personal input/comment per car takes away all professionalism his videos could've had. "Now this should have such and such car, we'll check on the back of the card here.... see the letter P?"

AOS: "I don't flipping care about that." *skips through video*

But my goodness, I might have to get that NSX Concept. Damn Mattel and their yellow cars. RD-02. Not a new one, but if only that had clear windows. It's so toy-plane with the blue.



I'll help clear out some of those cars if you give me a deal on it, Jason. edit: a really good deal. I just ate a $122 invoice.

MC5s definitely don't look too good on the 240. Best ones I can think of happen to all be Real Riders. That's surprising because most RRs are suited mostly for muscle cars.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yes but it's missing some chrome on the front wheel.

Depends on what your idea of a deal is. Half price? Sure.

 

[Cano]

Mine. As well as the two Porsches, Astons, and Monte Carlos.

Which are the exclusive colors?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Aston, Monte, chevy truck and the purple corvette I think. Plus the challenger.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I think the ones on the bottom left of the photo that have four cars each. (Challenger, Vette, Chevy truck, Lotus)

The Aston, Monte and Batman were the first to markets. They will show up in A cases shortly.

Painted OH5 would be so perfect(my Modern Classics have them). Blacked out OH5s would look so good on that new Z.

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

I bought my nephew a MBX Prius before I started collecting. I liked it so much I had to get a couple of of my own. I also had to go after green Mazda 2 for myself as well. By the time I started collecting, they were no longer available from stores, so I had to get them online........ but was so worth it.

For someone who doesn't like OH5s, I will admit the all-black ones are pretty good for mainlines. Some good ones for the 240Z would be:

BF Goodrich in black wheels though.

Depends on what your idea of a deal is. Half price? Sure.

Surely you can do better than half price for unwanted fantasy cars, no? But before we get there Cano took all the Monte Carlos. That one's a staple in this deal if you'd like to rid of some fantasies.



edit: Stomach this:

New mission/limitation for myself: All Kyosho Ferraris I ever get will strictly be yellow. No yellow? Too bad. This saved me $38 from getting both those racing livery 599XXs.


edit edit: Stomach this too:

Talk him down $5 on something I never heard of. Could've tried to talk him down more but just as I don't like to be low-balled, I didn't want to push my luck any further. Other seller had it for over $40.

 

[Cano]

Oh, ok, you can have a Monte Car-low.

 

[CodeRedR51]

You didn't say fantasy cars. 1/2 price on regular cars, 1/3 price on the fantasies. Subtract the bill from what I owe you.

 

[AOS-]

Do you plan on ordering another case in the future?

 

[a6m5]

@AOS- Does your seller sell one once a month? Anywho, sweeeet F40.

 

[Emmcee]

@R1600Turbo is that wagon in the picture available?

I hope so, I've never seen one in a store near me, otherwise I would have brought it straight away, I've never ever seen it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Do you plan on ordering another case in the future?

Negative. Next $60 I spend is on the $uper Datsun.

I hope so, I've never seen one in a store near me, otherwise I would have brought it straight away, I've never ever seen it.

You will soon. Once the Q cases hit, and it's showing up in 2015 A cases as well.

@a6m5 look what I found today:



I was at the Queen Mary park today to help set up at JCCS. Got some cool pre-crowd closeup views of the LFA, 2000GT, and 800 Sports that Toyota brought, as well as the load of Miatas at the Mazda tent. I also helped Jeff with his diecast table. It took less than a second for me to gobble up the red CR-X. I almost snagged the second he had for you, but I need to see how much you are willing to spend. Let me know ASAP...

 

[a6m5]

@a6m5 look what I found today:

*jaw drops*

How did you do it, sensei?

 

[Emmcee]

Where are you located but, bet not in Australia.

 

[Emmcee]

Negative. Next $60 I spend is on the $uper Datsun.

You will soon. Once the Q cases hit, and it's showing up in 2015 A cases as well.

What here in Australia? How long do I have to wait if this fairy tale comes true?

 

[a6m5]

I'm under the impression that you guys are pretty current. Australian members have beaten me to new hot wheels before.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Not long. Few weeks or so, just check multiple stores.

 

[a6m5]

Let me know ASAP...

I somehow missed this part.

I was hoping to snag one at $80, but I know they rarely come up.

 

[Emmcee]

Where do you go to find out what is getting released, it's not the hotwheels site is it? Cuz they have FA about whats coming out. I'd like to know if you don't mind so I can have a browse.
