1/64 Model Collectors Thread

no Bluebird wagons

I stopped counting at 7, I at least have 10 now. Black 240Z is everywhere.

yibber yabber I'm surprised we got a 2015 case here. We can't be too far behind from the States

My two stores have an overstock on M cases.... Target only had like two or three N-case single cards appear, and that would be where I grabbed the Velocita from.

I don't believe that they have three chases on the peg & no stock ones, so I barely walk out the store with one.

Wat. Should've known. All the oddball wheels are chase models. Those cartoony Muscle Machines also use red wheels, Greenlight uses green wheels, and Hot Wheels uses the rubbers (sometimes redlines).

Speaking of Chases, I recently found out some magical stuff.

This dirt-covered 1977 Sanremo Stratos I had for some time is actually a CM's secret model.

This plain-looking one is also a secret.

No found data on release year or series. Guy sold his collection and wasn't smart enough to keep the base.





Note to any future reader: I've no credible sources to prove whether they really are secret models.
My only supporting evidence is an eBay and Rakuten listing.​

That whitey's GORGEOUS.

I realize that! I've even found M2s with green tires in the past. This really threw me off because of the fact that all three Cobras they had were zamac + red tires. Not one standard model to be seen. Oh, well. They aren't worth anything anyway.

 

[Spacegoat]

Another idea I worked on:

Hyper jealous of your DBR9 there mate. Those Cm's too. 👍

All zamac with red tires.

The red tyres look incredibly awful, still chase model though. Nice find. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Oh, also. I was amazed to find today yet another 2015 case at Wal Mart. I picked up the red Hachi Roku and such, don't know how far behind we are from you guys over the States, but it can't be that far, can it?

That's C case, which haven't even hit here yet.

Well now that is a surprise. (:

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I still haven't seen any b case cars yet.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Purchased my black modern classics 240Z on the 19th, and it just shipped today. Unacceptable.

What an epic little model!

I like the guy's music but I can't stand him as a person. I recently stopped following his posts on facebook because I was tired of him complaining about everything.

I don't like a lot of his moaning, but some of it is actually quite funny. Like his ongoing court case with Disney.

Didn't notice this but this is absolutely brilliant, as always.

N-Case Release? I will likely have to wait until February to find this one.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'll just leave this here.

 

[Cano]

sinister 👍

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Found a b case El camino and a Viper ACR at a Target only b case cars there.

 

[AOS-]

Matchbox releasing a similar Police Mustang of the same gen.

CM's Index of (just about) every release.

This isn't counting the Lamborghinis and Ferrari F12s obviously... but I wish someone knew what year these things were produced.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Here's the b case cars then after I got those I went to a different Target and found a new? Exotic 5 pack.
Reventon, one 77, aventador, v8 vantage, and a 918.

 

[AOS-]

I forgot all about that 5-Pack. I should grab it soon so I can throw the one-77 and V8 Vantage up with the rest before I put the frames back up.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

That was the only one I saw there.

 

[Johnny1996]

Found some cars today, and included in this post is the figure holder information I promised.

Spoiler: Today's Finds

Today's new cars: Matchbox '43 Willys, Ford F-350 and a Hot Wheels RX-7 TH.

Spoiler: Yesterday's Finds

Yesterday's finds: All HW; two 620s and two Kenmeris.

Spoiler: Figure holders

And now for the figure holders.

These things were available in different sizes at the store I found them at, but the size I got was either the smallest or second smallest.

They come off the pegs unfolded.



The car I'll be using is this Kenmeri.



The skinny part folds underneath the larger part and holds the car like this, then it "clips" together.

 

[CodeRedR51]

They make them smaller than that, I have a bunch.

 

[Johnny1996]

They make them smaller than that, I have a bunch.

I have only a few myself, but they're all in use. Plus, I wanted a bit of room for other 1:64 cars from different manufacturers, such as M2.

 

[AOS-]

The average M2 will fit in the small cases. Taller/longer cars will require the medium size. Ground Pounders won't fit in any. Not sure about the Auto-Drivers. Probably will need mediums for Auto-Lift sets.

I have three sizes of those things, and a whole bunch of different brand diecasts.


Come to think of it, it seems the only M2s I own are either tag-along products or "other" cars I bought to fill up parcels.

Digging the colour and everything on that, gives it a really cool retro look. 👍

 

[AOS-]

I really hope it's just the lighting, but I would like it more if the finish had more of a brilliant finish than the flat red desert sand colour.

 

[TVR27]

I will upload some photos in a few days.

 

[MedigoFlame]

After seeing the Greenlight news article about updated stock for Toys R Us, I thought I'd check it out before the whole Black Friday mess that seems to take over the holiday we consider Thanksgiving... Got these two!

Anyone seen the series 10 Black Bandit series 2015 Chrysler 200S? Saw one for sale on eBay for $16. Now gone) Was tempted, but thought it was a bit much...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Damn you, I want that Jeep.

 

[a6m5]

The red tyres look incredibly awful, still chase model though. Nice find. 👍

Thank you J-Man....... I think.

Purchased my black modern classics 240Z on the 19th, and it just shipped today. Unacceptable.

I'd give them a two star rating on the feedback. It depends on the listing though. All my eBay listings promises to ship within 2 business days. Some seller do declare ahead of time that they ship only once a week, etc.

N-Case Release? I will likely have to wait until February to find this one.

Goody! 👍

I'll just leave this here.

Goody! ........... I don't really need another one...... wait, is this Black Bandit?

Today's new cars: Matchbox '43 Willys, Ford F-350 and a Hot Wheels RX-7 TH.

I love the Jeep & RX-7, but how much did you say you paid for those figure case things again?

Well, you guys know I use those "thread organizers" to store my standard 1/64 cars in. I have like five more fishing tackle boxes with larger compartments to store the longer, or taller cars in. Number of those bigger cars really add up in my collection.

Wow, lucky. 👍 I was going to buy these online, then I kinda lost interest in them. If I saw them locally though, I would definitely jump on them. How much do Toys R Us sell them for? I doubt my TRU would ever stock them, but just for reference!

 

[MedigoFlame]

@a6m5 $9.99 I've seen them online for the same price, but obviously shipping is added. I was hoping to see some other series like the Black Bandit, but only came across the Hitch & Tow. Other than that, my local TRU updated nothing else Greenlight.

It's a serious hit & miss here, too. I don't know if you've seen it, but GL has Ford Dealership set? I was like, no way my TRU would ever stock it. I buy online, within what felt like couple of weeks, they have bunch on the shelf(one of them had Green Machine in it ).

I'm glad to hear that online prices isn't that far off the local stock price. There are more of the hitch & tow series coming out over next couple of months I believe. 👍
