1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Ken]

I was just about to single that car out. It's a cool series to start with, but that GMC Panel is something else. You have to clean the garage, or fix something around the house now....... Maybe it was a bribe to start with.

That casting is something else. That's for sure. And I'm waiting on my honey-do list. Nothing yet, however.

I've been hoping to find that one locally, but like that Cocoa Puffs Texas Drive 'Em, I may have to stalk that one online. I've always been big on the "Chevy" Panel, but not the GMC. This is the first one I really wanted. 👍

This is the first one I really wanted.

It's an absolute gorgeous car. It's just huge. I can't get over its size.

 

[a6m5]

@Ken Koios You are right. I didn't realize it, but it's probably about the same size as the Chevy Panel(that one w/bike inside). That's what I call a collectible. 👍

Starting to regret not ordering one of these Toyopet Crown's now. They look fantastic. Has got me even more excited for the around Australia rally version in a couple of months though.

I think I may have found my new Alto.

 

[a6m5]

I'm getting mine this week(THIS WEEK!). I didn't realize how cool the stock one was until the Lamley link was provided. Great post as usual, @jtl46 👍 If it looks this good stock, Australian Crown should be.............

Yes, count it. That's three drooly smilie things. Oh god.

I think I may have found my new Alto.

Take multi-vitamins, drink lots of fluids(put the beer back in the fridge, Cano) & plenty of rest....... You've caught a bug.

 

[jtl46]

The Crown is cool. Glad you guys liked the post. It surprised me how much I liked both when I got them. And yeah that Australian Racer is going to be stellarific.

TownAce and Delta are on the blog in just a few hours. Equally giddy-inducing, but a few of you already know that. Be careful, 4 already out and 4 to come. 8 yummy vans to take all your money.

If you like the look of them stock, you should keep an eye out for this one released in March. Going to be sweet. 👍

Exactly. Already a must have before but now......

Spoiler: Take all my money!

Edit: Huzzah! Finally figured out how to put words into the spoiler tags.

 

[photonrider]

Bah! Boring cars . . . .

Why drive when you can fly.

 

[a6m5]

............... Where you gonna park that?

Edit: Huzzah! Finally figured out how to put words into the spoiler tags.

👍

stellarific.

💡 There is the word I was looking for!

 

[RCKakashi14]

Bought a white Kyosho 1/64 Porsche Panamera Turbo today...

 

[photonrider]

............... Where you gonna park that?

How can you even ask that?

Look - some of the stuff I have to open (way overdue):

First thing I planned to open was the 205. Have had two for too long now.

But then I started playing with it, and taking it to my miniature drag strip and putting it through its paces and so on and never got around to opening the rest of the stuff.
Now the unopened stuff is just taking up room and getting in the way when I'm playing with the Peugeot.

 

[Cano]

Grrrr that multicolor Peugeot...

 

[photonrider]

I have awoken the sleeping giant.

Full metal jacket.

 

[a6m5]

Well done, Harry. Well done.

 

[Cano]

Agh go to hell. That thing is as evasive as it is ugly.

 

[a6m5]

I really liked Jason's blue 2015 Mustang, but it had plastic wheels....... I saw this tonight. I had to. You hate expensive hot wheels I buy, @Cano. What do you think?

 

[photonrider]

Agh go to hell. That thing is as evasive as it is ugly.

It's very ugliness is what makes it beautiful.
A thing of joy.
With movable parts.
There is no metaphor to describe how beautifully ugly it is.

A thing of joy.

Much play.

 

[a6m5]

Not many cars can look that good with that combination of colors. And it's a Peugeot!

I may have been tagged. But that is gorgeous and being a toy fair car, worth it in my eyes. Did I just say that?

 

[RCKakashi14]

What arrived in the store today:

They cost 13 USD each...

I need to move next door to that store...

Actually I don't. I'd end up going hungry because of all those model cars

The thing looks amazing(I googled it first). In display case, it was snatching over $100 on eBay, so after going back & forth for few minutes, I had to get it. If you can buy it right, you could always make your money back on something like that. :tup:

Good call on picking it up. Are you going to flip it?

 

[a6m5]

Nah, I don't plan to on this one. I just checked eBay & complete with case, six that did sell averaged $130 & change, so $60 was pretty good deal, even if loose.

Two things:

1 - Eew.
2 - Lol.

It's very ugliness is what makes it beautiful.

No, it's uglyness just makes it ugly. There were two other versions of that car that kicked ass:

The multicolor one is incredibly absurd and ugly, and the most common of the three, too. Alas, I'm missing it. And I have the other ones.

 

[photonrider]

That's too good looking; that's what makes it common.

 

[a6m5]

I still like it. That Shell car has eluded me in the past, and I would concur that one looks the coolest. I want to punch you for hatin' on ma Camaro. Not seriously, but really hard.

j/k

 

[photonrider]

The Shell colors are hot when it comes to livery.

Looking forward to opening these tomorrow.

The stealth jet was opened right away, too. And then to get to these:

And these:

I'll sort them out first, though, muscle cars, eurocars, trucks, etc . . then the go in their respective boxes.
