1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[AOS-]

Found another page filled with higher-end Kyoshos, namely Beads and special event-exclusives.

http://members2.jcom.home.ne.jp/mukeikaku/01_KYOSHO_Beads/KB_M000.html

And those shiny cars: http://members2.jcom.home.ne.jp/mukeikaku/01_KYOSHO_Beads/KB_M018.html. Looks like they don't have the Jota SVR as an entry.


But omg the content looks so luxurious. There's all these R32s I didn't know about!

To think, this page was discovered only because I found two identical silver R32s with a different print on the base. I was about to go and get both, but looks like it'd be wise to not go Completionist Mode on this.


=========
Just to pull a few from the site, here's some big "Wants" I didn't know about:

 

[Johnny1996]

Went hunting for basics for one of the last times in 2014. Let's just say that I had a fun night.

Yes, I'm teasing you. Deal with it.

 

[a6m5]

Skylines Kakashi posted are cool. I may have to look at those.

There's this one I think you guys should throw money at:

Do you see the price marked on the box? I'd buy one for that(MSRP closer to $3).

 

[MedigoFlame]

All those Skylines you guys posted... Makes me want an R33 model, badly. Of the R32, R33, R34, and R35, for some reason I still prefer the R33. Guessing Kyosho's my best bet?

@a6m5 I love my vans and wagons. And I might even consider trying to collect every gen of the Toyota Crown.


The GL Chrysler dealership just popped up on eBay. Although...I don't think these go for $30, do they in TRU stores... I do want it though.

Edit, nevermind. There's another listing for $15. Anyone know how much these dioramas go for?

 

[a6m5]

My local TRU has the Ford for $15.99, I believe. I couldn't risk ever never finding one locally, so I paid that + shipping. If I were you, I'd wait for your local TRU to get it. You could always get one online for reasonable price.

 

[Johnny1996]

Cars from today. Yes, that's a Hachi-Roku $TH.

Spoiler: Basics

Spoiler: Christmas

Spoiler: Other

This one seems a bit more reasonable. (Not sure if you saw my edit)

I could always check tomorrow.

Gay..... George Takei. I hear he's gay. Very jealous. Not of George Takei or his Star Trek car, but your $TH hachi & that ever elusive Datsun wagon.

Oh 🤬 I'd get that one if I were you.

 

[Johnny1996]

I guess I better not post the other 510 Wagon I got then.

 

[Ken]

$TH?

 

[Johnny1996]

$TH?

Both are basics, but I do have the $TH.

I thought I liked you. Then I saw that.....

Jking with a twinge of jealousy of course.

You'll find one someday. Maybe not tomorrow or even this month, but someday.

 

[Ken]

I've found the AE-86. But I'm afraid the Datsun and the Kool Kombi will never be found in the wild again. I thank eBay.

 

[Johnny1996]

Yeah I feel the same. Well, I can't buy off eBay as I still need an account and a PayPal, but someday.

 

[a6m5]

I forgot all about that. You are on my "S" list. Not the "Super" list, the other one. j/k

I've found the AE-86.

Forgot about that one, too. You guys.......

Hmm....

Would happen to rhyme with "hit"? 💡

Was going to start building the K'nex frame, but I only noticed now that I was missing a set of connectors. Was going to order off K'nex.com but wowzers they charge $0.36 per piece. In the process of getting quotes from other dudes on eBay for massive savings.

Hmm....

Spit? It's spit, right?

Hue. Found multiple R33s on Japanese sites if you're dying to get some. eBay doesn't have a whole lot. Sample deal

 

[RCKakashi14]

Something odd happened in the Kyosho diecast Japanese website. The Skyline & GT-R Neo set has been removed from the list.

The latest ones are at the top, of course.

And if you're looking for benchmark bids on said Nissan collection:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/kayanxdd/m....sho+1/64+nissan&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc

See that mad hype KPGC110 Beads selling for $91? Found a few that ended for less. Anyone interested?

 

[MedigoFlame]

@AOS- Love the Midnight Purple. I'll have a look around.

@RCKakashi14 Kyosho has a Toyota Crown Athlete? Should have bought that instead of the basic Tomica.

Also, good thing I picked up that $15 Chrysler dealership set. It's already sold out.

 

[RCKakashi14]

@RCKakashi14 Kyosho has a Toyota Crown Athlete?

Someone already posted the entire Toyota Kyosho set here. And I did see the real one when I was in Japan months ago. Totally a proper sleeper.

There's your benchmark, and this [url=http://www.ebay.com/sch/ebignorijp/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=]seller is who you'll want to keep tabs on for the next little while. He's told me he's listing another batch of Ferrari Minicar 10, and the Toyota Minicar set next Sunday.[/url]

 

[Spacegoat]

but I do have the $TH.

Hyper jealous there John. Curse you. 👍

 

[photonrider]

You left us for way too long this time. Which car is the purple one behind the submersible thing?

Haven't looked but you probably must mean the Opel Speedster.

I have dropped in on occasion to enjoy the mess in here, but mostly for a quick drop in and browse during a break or when held up somewhere - because I missed you guys of course. I rarely log in to post unless I have planned a huge session - or unless I happen to drop in and see someone requiring help with something connected with GT6, but then it's a quick in and out.
I did buy many cars during the summer but never had time to post them - the submersible was purchased quite some time ago and happened to be sitting on a four foot square pile of unopened cars.

Not cubed, square. Cubed would be nice of course.

I've lost you now, haven't I?

1999 Safari Rally Ford Focus WRC



Colin McRae Memorial Part 2






​

Hey, nice Focus, I swear that looks just like the one from Colin Mcrae 2.0. 👍

Oh, I'm new here (by here I mean this thread), better introduce myself. I own a few cars like these myself, although nowhere near the dimension of many collectors here. This thread also introduced me to another beautiful thing, those Tomica Limited Vintage cars. Sadly, imported things do not necessarily come cheap here in Portugal, so I'm still limited to dream about having one and about the rest. My favorite piece of diecast that I own? My Minichamps Lamborghini Miura. Part of the "Saint Agata Museum" collection, meaning it comes in that desirable shade of yellow that makes a Miura look like, well, a Miura. Cost me a pretty penny, but it's totally worth it just for that priceless feeling of owning a mini Miura. I also own a few more Minichamps and a bunch of Bburago 1\18 scale models. As I said, nothing you haven't seen before (I guess).

 

[AOS-]

No TLVs? Hey, you got Majorettes, Welly, Minichamps and Matchbox everywhere in Europe. If you know where to look, you can also find Kyoshos and CM's in said continent.

Hey, nice Focus, I swear that looks just like the one from Colin Mcrae 2.0. 👍

That's probably because it is the same car. 💡



But nevertheless, welcome! This thread thrives off pictures, so if you've got 1/64 cars you'd like to share, by all means.

Yup, I thought it was, but I guess I needed to be sure of it. God knows why, haha.

Kyoshos and CM's? Dunno if I found those. The rest? Yeah, I found plenty of them in the past.

I do have some cars I like to share, but good photographer I'm not. I'll try to share some if I can. Keep up the good buying. 👍

Online? I've bought them from some dude in Croatia numerous times.

I do have some cars I like to share, but good photographer I'm not.

And if you want to find ways to improve the picture quality with whatever camera you have, I'm willing to help.
