1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Nessy]

Bought it a couple days ago. Newest batch now hitting stores.

Edit: @a6m5 won't be happy about this.

Can't believe they've sealed the rear door.. best part about that cast.

R1600, is that Subaru in your avatar just about to go down the dipper at Bathurst?

Yeah I was testing at various tracks the other day for a racing league I want to set up and snapped a few photos.

 

[Avalonbug]

Wow, that's a sick Subie.

 

[Emmcee]

Hell yeah, almost looks like a Tsukuba time attack car, sweet.

 

[Johnny1996]

If Hot Wheels made that car, Matchbox at least, that'd be cool. It'd be cool if collectors could submit cars for Mattel to make, but there'd likely be problems surrounding it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

So we're getting a pedal car for 2015.

Also, the Bentley Continental is making a return finally.

 

[Johnny1996]

Pedal Car, HELLO!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Ugh I hate those rims on the Bentley.

Kyosho - G55

I'm a fan. 👍

Edit: @a6m5 won't be happy about this.

I actually "liked" your post, and I thought about taking it back. I thought that you had posted that I would be happy about it, since it's '55 Panel. I thought the rear hatch looked weird, and no, I am very disappointed in Mattel. It's the same rude awakening when I found out that color shifting Drag Bus I found at Walmart(only one I found IRL) had fixed plastic body.

That photo makes the rear mag-wheel look like a smaller size than the front.

Some of you have great eye for detail. I caught that it was yellow, and that it was a Ferrari. That was it.

Can't believe they've sealed the rear door.. best part about that cast.

For me, the removable bike & that door was most of the redeeming quality. If it looks amazing in person, I may still get it. Assuming they still come with real riders.

Ugh I hate those rims on the Bentley.

I actually like it in this case. They are hit & miss with me.

The bonnet tampo bothers me more than the wheels. Passing on that if the red is as obnoxious as it looks in the photo. Otherwise, I'd take it apart for "cosmetic improvements" like I've been doing with my older modern mainlines.


Anywho, here's a nice one I wanted to share:



From the most current Aston Martin Minicar Collection, here is the box set's SECRET car. Click on pic for link. It's the only one I've ever seen online.

 

[a6m5]

It looks amazing.

I'd jump in that bid fest myself, but I want to reserve the money for when I come across a yellow Scuderia 16M or 599XX. Y'knowimean?

Also it looks like someone flushed out kuwa****a of his overpriced CM's Escort Rallys.

Yep, make a Holden ve wagon.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Of course they bring the Bentley back with no headlight/taillight tampos anymore. And ugly wheels...

 

[Spacegoat]

Yep, same here. Not a fan of the tampo's and the colour at all. Probably will look better in person but going off of that picture, no thanks. And it's the wrong Continental anyway, they should have done this one instead.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Been checking Target all week for Q cases. Finally I walk in tonight and they got theirs in.....and someone beat me to it. Not a Datsun wagon to be found. There's been a lot of this hope followed by disappointment lately. Starting to get fed up with it. And I'm really not in the mood anymore to pay $60 for a hot wheels car. Very close to the tipping point of deciding to sell everything and just avoid the stress altogether.

Goat please. That is what modding is for.



So anyway, while I went and secured myself them '10 M3s, I decided to add that RM Mercury Cougar to the collection granted its look gets buffed. This hobby just gets more and more complicated in the name of money.

 

[Johnny1996]

I guess that applies to me too, being that I agree with him.

I've been doing the same, where in Australia are you?

Arizona is not in Australia.

 

[a6m5]

It's same thing as Mexico. Exactly why Jason & Cano get along so well.

I hear you, and we can do it together.

Maybe.

Andy, you insensitive bastard.

Jarrod's hands. His last custom.

Now you bring him some carrots(I don't know what goats eat lol).

*thinks out loud*

Hmm.... Do I laugh my rear end off, or do just ignore it. Or, do I think out loud to myself and give a detailed description of what I'm thinking and post it to the Hot Wheels and Matchbox Collectors Thread on GTPlanet, and put that post as a quote to user a6m5's post?

 

[Emmcee]

Arizona is not in Australia.

Well that explains it, I've check all my targets around me and kmarts and they all still have boxes of c cases.

 

[Spacegoat]

Indeed. You should see my keyboard too, I go through five a week...

 

[Cano]

Jarrod's hands.

hAHaAHAhAHahA

 

[a6m5]

That was a perfect picture.

👍

*thinks out loud*

You should just share everything with us. Don't be like me & be so reserved.

Apply hoof to body liberally. If irritation occurs, stop immediately.

@a6m5, have you bought from stuffyouwantforcheap @ TTP before? I received an a phishing email from his account just now...

Something about him being stuck in Greece because he got mugged, his flight leaves in a few hours and to top it all off, he didn't pay off his hotel bill yet.

I think so.........? I didn't receive any emails from him though. I did from another member(solid sales offer on the new convention cars) today, but that's it.

Edit: Never mind. I checked my account & two sellers with similar name, but not "stuffyouwant". Maybe he got his account hacked or something, huh?
