1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Someone probably returned it, happens all the time.

I am || <--- that close to ordering an Auto World case. Tired of 🤬 waiting.

Don't you become one of those Walmart employees all of us live to hate.

No cause I haven't found one yet. But I did get these.

Rocketfire, chevelle, pedal driver. There were two rocketfires.

 

[Spacegoat]

Gotdamn That's one CM's I need to find.

It's a good one too. 👍 Glad I grabbed that one when I did, don't see it too often. Same goes for the RX-7 behind it.

 

[yabiggoose]

Just made an eBay purchase, my first Kyosho. And it's a beads.

 

[a6m5]

Opened couple of sets I had:

Hot Wheels Super Street Set w/Civic & Focus



"Car Show" GTO & Chevelle

Speaking of Walmart employees, the Walmart I was at earlier didn't have any M2s on the shelves. There was an employee nearby, so I asked if they could tell me when they'd be restocking the shelves. The answer was "once the shelves are almost empty." Yet the shelves were empty. And I did specifically say "M2 cars".

This probably isn't the case with your store, but in many stores around me, they've moved M2's to weird places, often buried in the bottom shelf at the very end of the aisle. Really buried.

But in case you forgot. 👍

I thought you had white! I prefer white, but still one of the coolest cars around. 👍

Just got home. And a photoshoot is in order. I'll post all of my HK hauls, and this is the first - BMW i8 1/64 scale:

Rocketfire!

I've seen the RX-7 on Yahoo. Wasn't cheap. Seen the Lancer from my CM's source. Bids aren't cheap. :[


edit: Found the Lancers.


Also, turns out this one I got last year was indeed a Secret release:

You'll notice on the SS8.5 box that this 2001 Monte Carlo isn't on there. and if you're looking to find one yourself, I already spotted one starting at $6. Just ask.

No, because the price tags were still on the shelves in the original place.

Yay, finally my Japan Booster order shows processed through customs. Was getting worried, had zero tracking updates since the 26th of December.

Wasn't even aware there is a white one.

Edit: Ah, just saw it on google images, very cool. Still prefer it in yellow though myself.

Apparently, @Mrs.Koios thought it was still Christmas. She completely surprised me by coming home with most of this. Then she still wanted to me go hunting. Forced me. I don't even know where the money came from. I'm not going to ask.

Spoiler: the amazing haul

If I ever get married, I want my wife to be that damn cool (and don't tell her it's January, keep the hauls coming)

Don't question where did the money came from, don't question why did she do it. Just bask in the greatness of having such an amazing wife, who actually supports your hobby by giving you the greatest of feasts. And you'd better enjoy them man, that's one amazing set of cars.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Apparently she found a D case dump bin.

That she did.

I'm don't even know what else to say. I'm just in shock. Three bags of cars. Just wow!

 

[Spacegoat]

Yeah, that's an awesome wife you got there Ken. Excellent haul mate. 👍

My M2 collection now!

Purely for amusement's sake, how big do you think expect the M2 collection will grow by the end of this year, based on your current level of interest and the rate at which this interest has grown?

On the subject of year-long talk, seeing as how I failed to keep my collection under the quota in 2014, how Hot Wheels and Matchbox have been a declining interest, how there isn't many more Kyoshos I really want (or should buy), and how I have a tendency to dabble into other brands, perhaps a workable goal this year is to stay under 350 cars. The 50 is there for insurance.

 

[a6m5]

Those M2s rock. Isn't that Ford truck awesome from the VW Hauler?(I have the same one). She has very good taste! 👍

My order from AmiAmi's moving at similar pace.

I'm not sure. I know it will grow. My interest does outweigh my money, however. Realistically, I can see other 10 cars over the course of the year. More if my wife gets more wild hairs.

@a6m5, the hauler is amazing! I think it's one of my favorites in the entire collection at this point. I don't see to many in the future though. $16.99 is hard to justify.

They are expensive, but if you buy a transport trailer, at least you are sort of paying for three units(or vehicles): Truck, vehicle & the trailer.

I agree, I don't buy many of them either. But when I do buy, they are irresistible.

 

[Ken]

@a6m5.

Now if I can find this hauler, I'd be a happy man.

Not my cup of tea(sorry ), but I do have three haulers similar to that one. One was the GTO Judge Jason posted couple days ago. Also these two:

 

[Ken]

I love both of those. Absolutely fantastic. The only ones I don't like are the ones with just a flat trailer.

The reason I want the one is for the '49. My all time favorite car.

I've yet to own a flatbed either.

Our Fred Meyer stores(Kroger chain) has been carrying gold-ish looking '49 Merc. Absolutely gorgeous. It is one of the castings that M2 likes to release like a 100 time a year, so you are in luck.

*goes to find pic of the gold Merc*

I think it was this one:

'49 Merc picture streak- let's go!

 

[Ken]

@a6m5

Hate the color, but I'd still buy it. I'll have to keep an eye out at Kroger. That's where the M2s came from today. Or maybe if Walmart would restock their M2 section.

 

[a6m5]

I think I have just one. I can't even remember how I got it, or what it actually looked like. I think it was black with purple flame, but I'm probably wrong.

My advice, don't buy it unless it's perfect. Many collectors in this community, we start accumulating cars that we are barely lukewarm to early on in building the collection. Couple years later, we end up with bunch of junk that we don't want to throw away, but can't get nothing for.
