1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Sonygamer455]

I forgot to post this but when I was in Wal Mart the other day, I found this poor '66 Ford Fairline GT sitting on the shelves. Judging by the condition and the fact it is not a recent release, I can assume this was someone's toy that was left behind on the shelves. So I grabbed it and I just put it in my pocket since it obviously wasn't for sale. Never had this happen before, ever!

Now some kid is going back looking for his beloved Fairlane with elephant tears in his eyes.

Way to go, Sonygamer. This will only fuel the urban legend of "The Cano".

 

[CodeRedR51]

I've still got alot to learn, but I'm trying.

EDIT: I got trap5 from here.

Yeah the first two releases had them, the new one in HW Racing livery has black MC5 with orange chrome rim or the HTF variation I need with black PR5 with orange chrome rim.

I'll keep an eye out for it. But that's alot of Vansters to look at.

When something is more rare than a $uper, it's worth it.

Plot twist, that kid is Cano.

Way to go, Sonygamer. This will only fuel the urban legend of "The Cano".

And start a new chapter for "The Long Lost Fairlane".

Got some stuff from Walmart, including a Snoopy and an M2 Torino, but pics will come once I have better lighting.

 

[Sonygamer455]

I am yet to even see a Snoopy at all!

 

[Avalonbug]

You guys are lucky those Vansters are peg warmers, I can't find any here :/

 

[Spacegoat]

I never even tried learning.

I've never tried either. The only wheels I can ever remember the names of are 10sp and FTE2. If I was more into wheel variations I would but I can never be bothered going through all the pegs. Too impatient I suppose.

Edit: And speaking of being impatient. I'm impatiently waiting for that BRZ back order to come through, so amiami can get that order shipped and I can get my hands on the Town Ace wagon. God it looks so good.

Like I posted yesterday, it if wasn't for the sealed case at K-Day, I would've never found one.

I forgot to tell you guys my story at K-Day(always good for long winded tales).

I thought I had few minutes to spare, so I was looking for the toy section when I accidentally ran into the K-Day crowd. As I was walking by, it was the last call for the drawing(to get tickets for sealed cases).

32 sealed cases. 8 people per round(to go thru the cases, makes for 4 rounds of sealed cases). They called everybody around my ticket number, but I snuck in I think either the very last, or second to last of the very last round. I was getting nervous. You feel bad for the attendees who were here before you, but they get to go thru other people's seconds.

Attendance must've been just short of 40, because I think they just did one round of people who didn't get sealed boxes, and it was free for all. The End.

You guys are lucky those Vansters are peg warmers, I can't find any here :/

They are common-common. I'm sure you'll start seeing them eventually. 👍

Too impatient I suppose.

We'll never catch errors & variants for sure. I think I know of just four I ever found: 1) Furai in the blister backwards with missing rear wing(sold it for whopping $1 profit?). 2) Red RX-7 with the roll cage. 3) Ferrari thing with a beige or black interior(got both). 4) 3-car set with Camaro inserted the wrong way(no gutter jokes prease lol). That last one, I didn't even realize until I posted a picture of it, and Andy brought it up. I had already opened it by then.

God it looks so good.

I kinda wish I went for the white now. I have blue one pending shipment, probably go out Monday(BRZ was already in-stock for me ).

I've only ever found two. The Blue Mastretta MXR with the chrome missing from the right front wheel and the small rear wheel Black XB Falcon in the 10 pack, which I didn't notice until I got home and started taking pictures of it.

(BRZ was already in-stock for me ).

You took the last one, didn't you? And now my order is being held up while they wait to get the back order in.

I think you posted the pic of the Falcon XB? I'd love to see it again.

It very well could've been the last one. This just might have been the leg up I needed, as you always get AmiAmi stuff before me.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Got to open a box of hot wheels but... They were 5 packs

 

[Spacegoat]

I think you posted the pic of the Falcon XB? I'd love to see it again.

Indeed I did and to save cluttering up this page with pics. Link. 👍

as you always get AmiAmi stuff before me.

I don't see the problem.

 

[Ken]

Caddy Kday order form.

 

[Cano]

$10 for you.

:0 can't we do 8 like the last one? How much was it?

 

[CodeRedR51]

:0 can't we do 8 like the last one? How much was it?

They are $16.99.

 

[Cano]

They are $16.99.

Oh dear mother. Yeah $10 is fine

 

[AOS-]

Here's something that's legit VHTF:

2010/11 Speed Machines Porsche 911 GT2 (997)


​

But can't we do $8, man?!

Bruh, they are $16.99!

Unsure why I found this amusing.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I thought we had established their retail price before I purchased it.

Also, RE: legit VHTF. My MC5 Celica on the last page laughs at you.

 

[AOS-]

Ok.

How much does the MC5 go for?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ok.

How much does the MC5 go for?

I paid $25 for it, but it's rare enough that I don't think there's been one on eBay yet to determine a value.

 

[AOS-]

Not bad. I paid $6 for mine. Some nobody, the only nobody who has the balls to sell his has it for a yolo price.

I caught that discussion on coffee tables which Jason began; here's some more info on the same subject:

You put the cars in, and then you look at them:

 

[Ken]

I need one of those. In black though.

 

[photonrider]

Easily custom-made if you are handy with the tools. Quite a nice project, too. Start making those blueprints.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm going to try and build one using a shadow box frame and some table legs.

 

[Spacegoat]

You put the cars in, and then you look at them:

Yep.

Love that design, when Jason bought up the coffee table, I imagined it with a top that either opened or comes off completely. But a draw is a wonderful idea.

And nice to see you again photonrider. It's been far too long since you last popped into this thread mate. 👍
