1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Ok well explain why it takes 5 mins for it to load the edit function but only 2 seconds to type another post? This is the only forum that despises that, I would hardly concider it spam concidering it's on the current subject. But besides that, nice to meet you and I feel greatly welcomed. Won't happen again.

Saw an ad on tv saying 2015 hotwheels out now, so I jump in the car and check for major shopping centre's. Not one 2015 car bs.

Fell for the classic advertisement hook.

Each sold separately, supplies may vary.

 

[Emmcee]

Yeah but why release the add if no one has them? Could fall under false advertisement IMO. I wasted fuel and everything, not happy, that crx I found sweetens the deal though.

New boxes out the back of the store whilst they try to flog off the stuff they've had on the pegs for months.

At least in Melbourne it's like that.

It's that whatever-series Celica. I saw that several times along with the 2000GT, but just never found it in me to buy one.

What do you mean by "no one"? You might not have (unlucky your particular store didn't have it yet), but other people have got their hands on 2015 Cases. See Youtube. Plus, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to get 2015 stuff when we're not even there yet.

Because all I want is the bluebird wagon

AOS: Hi I just won an item and I want ot bid on another that ends in 7 days. Will it be okay to defer payment until then?

Seller: Hi friend lets wait for auction end


--1 week later--


AOS: Hi again. I managed to win one of the many items I bidded on. I was about to ask for an invoice but I saw you listed even more things I want that end in another week. Do you want to sell said items for a fixed price or would you rather wait until the end?

Think I will pass on all of those.

 

[yabiggoose]

I'd take the Bronco.

 

[AOS-]

I have no plans on collecting the mainline Esprit......





.....and I still don't plan on getting that 007 Esprit either.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Hopefully I'll be able to find that homer.

 

[Emmcee]

The homer, I've been searching for months. I can get it right away from the local collector store for $20 but id rather find it for $3

The mainline, yes. The one pictured above is not out yet.

 

[Emmcee]

What difference is it? I know the card is different, is this the one that has a different glass color or interior? Obviously different wheels to.

 

[CodeRedR51]

More detail, metal base, rubber tires.

Level of Jealousy - over 9000.

I hear you man. I really wanted one, too. Of course, I now has it......

Red CRX found. I will let you know when he sends it to me

I think I'm starting to have feelings for you. Thank you!

Miata.

Oh yeah. Mint but loose. I'll pm you tomorrow (:

Well, that was underwhelming.

If it's the all red no-tampo version I already have it.

GO TO HELL. If I remember correctly, you were still chasing that one?

Starting to get interesting again.....

Only Miata I am missing is the Zamac convention car.

Guk. Should have let me know, I've been looking for this one for months for you I was so happy that I finally found another one today!

Can't remember when I got it, think I got it from eBay. Maybe a trade, not sure.

You got him good, Jason. Pwn'd.

Yeah but why release the add if no one has them? Could fall under false advertisement IMO. I wasted fuel and everything, not happy, that crx I found sweetens the deal though.

I was looking at mine just over the weekend. Beautiful casting. I had the Hot Ones CR-X in the next compartment. Even better.

Kyosho

My FAVORITE Japanese comic car. I think I scored mine loose for less than $15, shipped? I also have the Watanabe Fairlady from the same comic. Kind of kicking myself for not chasing the CR-X, but I wouldn't want to pay more than $20~$30 for that one. We'll see.

If I could give you two "likes" for this post, I would. :tup:

It's that whatever-series Celica.

Celica XX(double-x). Yoroshiku Mechadoc. Best racing manga EVER(not true, but I believe it). EVER, Andy. EVER.

My eBay exchange:

USPS Clerk - Postage due, $1.53.

Me on email to seller - Postage due, $1.53.

TBA

Think I will pass on all of those.

Man, I don't know. I may actually buy this Bond. Bronco is a maybe.

I'd take the Bronco.

I thought I was looking at my Greenlight edition(identical from distance). I'm not looking forward to any more addition of Retro Entertainment, but hot wheels do seem to do fairly good job on Broncos. I may get it if I ever get to see one in person.

The homer, I've been searching for months. I can get it right away from the local collector store for $20 but id rather find it for $3

I've had mine listed on eBay for couple of weeks & no taker. Not trying to sell mine to you, postage would be atrocious.

Edit: Cars I picked up today.

"Custom" Classics Cadillac Funny Car(not real, custom) + another INDY car I got for its wheels


Two-shot with my favorite Caddy Funny Car


I overpaid for this one, but here it is. RLC Hot Wheels Racing Blown Delivery


Finally, car that cost me $1.53 in postage due. Custom '77 Dodge Van(w/secret TH logo! lol)

 

[AOS-]

! 2008 TH! Go crazy.

another INDY car I got for its wheels

Yeah but when are you going to do anything with those wheels?

 

[a6m5]

Anticipation's absolutely nuts, I know this!

 

[AOS-]

Admit it. You're secretly modding cars and not sharing your work. You've been at this game for over a decade. You know all the trick of the trades, and have been laughing at all the new techniques we've learned from others, and you've won so many competitions that you don't know what takes up more space in the basement- your trophy count, or the mass of customized cars you've already made.

I'm onto you, ninja.

 

[Johnny1996]

 

[a6m5]

You are funny Canuck. I wish that was the case. I then would possess the skills & tools to mod my Tomica Limited Vintage cars!

 

[Johnny1996]

mod my Tomica Limited Vintage cars!

You wouldn't.

 

[AOS-]

I would mod my Tomica Limited Vintage cars!

Go for low? I'd go for low. Just like I am with these two.

Ex-Corgi and Superfast MBX. While they're WIPs, they can't go any lower. :[


Though I must say, going low on a TLV may destroy all class and it has.

 

[Johnny1996]

That Cadillac would look so epic lowered to the oil pan, but it still looks good how it is now.

 

[a6m5]

I agree, but those Superfast wheels are status symbol!

This is the third time posting this custom TLV Civic:



It went for something like $65 on eBay(prob. couple years ago). At the time, we all thought the seller & buyer were nuts. Just couple of days ago(yeah, I was watching), stock one of those went for just as much on eBay, so jokes on us.

Edit: While I was looking for this pic, I ran into this: 1 2 & also this. Sickening.

 

[Johnny1996]

1 and 2 are beyond words.

 

[a6m5]

1 and 2 are beyond words.

Are they Hot Wheels?

 

[AOS-]

Spoiler alert:

#1 & 2 contains sick casting with Maisto 5-spoke wheels....

#3 contains sick R32 casting with Matchbox 10-spoke wheels.......


I know it's up to one's taste, but still....

[/melancholy]

 

[a6m5]

Are they...... Tomicas? That Sileighty looking thing. Come on.
