1/64 Model Collectors Thread

The sad thing is - the 1st time I ran into a batch of 2011 Hot Wheels, i wasnt aware of what Treasure Hunts were - I think I might have inadvertantly passed on the 57 Chevy and the Corvette Grand Sport When I see a pic of them, it feels like I've seen them before.... I guess that I was so excited cos I found the BTTF Time machine that day, I didnt really notice much else!

 

[Schwartz]

Help! in an overflow bin at walmart I found a Hot wheels car and on the card it says Hot Wheels Boulevard and it has a picture of a street with buildings on either side. It is a Ford GTX1 concept. I couldn't find a picture of it online. The car has it rubber tires. There were no other cars like this in the rest of the store and it is an age 8+ instead of 3+. Is this car rare or was it just misplaced by a customer?

Edit: I went to one of the price checker things they have randomly around the store and scanned it. It gave no price. It just said "please see an associate for help." did someone bring this car into walmart and leave it here? Im so confused!!!

Edit: I went up to self checkout to but it along with the rest of my finds, and it ended up costing $3.27 by itself...

My finds today:

2011 editions:
lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 superleggera
'11 Ken Block Ford Fiesta
Honda S2000
Lamborghini Estoque

2012 editions:
'12 Camaro ZL1
Lamborghini Reventon

Hot Wheels Boulevard Ford GTX1

It's just one of the expensive $5 series cars. (Kind of like the Garage cars) Thought those were new? I haven't seen any in person yet, but seen them online.

Oh well... I have one now... Its pretty nice I guess...

 

[Cano]

It's the replacement for the Garage series, which will be phased out this season. It's the very same but with a way better card.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Eh, I like the old car better.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Finally nabbed an A-Team van today as well as A LOT of 12s. Pictures to come here. check back if interested.

EDIT: I'll have to post pics after vacation ending 12/23.

Anyone seen/heard of these yet? Hot Wheels is releasing an Old-school Monster Truck line for 2012, and HWC had a sneak peek of them about a month ago..

What do you guys thing they will be? Bear Foot, Bigfoot III, Taurus, maybe Awesome Kong II.. Crushstation is kind of a given here though, lol.

The first one looks like Samson and I hope that last one is Bigfoot

 

[CodeRedR51]

The last one is a GMC. The one I quoted is an old Ford and could possibly be Bigfoot.

 

[Antonisbob]

If that's Bigfoot, I'll definitely be purchasing one.

👍 Here's hoping!

Not to high-jack this thread or anything, but IMO the last one looks allot like Bear Foot

Let's hope the wheels aren't as funky looking as the ones from a few years ago.

It does. 👍

If that's Bigfoot, I'll definitely be purchasing one.

Don't think it is. But in real life I have that exact same truck (It's a 1985 Ford F250) with those roll bars on that back with the 4 spotlights on it. Lifted too.

 

[a6m5]

Driving Park: I never did see any A-Team or that Vintage Racing 510/Bluebird in stores. I had to get one of each from online, but I still look around for them when I get the chance.

P.S. I really like the original GT40. I like Ford GT's, but GT40's the real deal. 👍

P.P.S. Can I have it?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Thanks for posting links BTW, instead of a million photos.

 

[AOS-]

Driving Park, I am as jelly as a sandwich right now. a Green 911 GT3?! a Red/White Caterham?! That Blue McLaren F1?! That Exige?! A Miura?! That lime Gallardo?! DAT RED 911 GT2!?

Sounds like it could be a song...

Because it is from a song.

@ whoever is painting a 911 GT2.... Handpainted the cruddy paint...

Before clear coat was put down.

 

[SVX]

Not bad man. Good work!

 

[CodeRedR51]

@ whoever is painting a 911 GT2.... Handpainted the cruddy paint...

Explain?

 

[Driving Park]

I made the Christmas shopping rounds today and bought 5 more cars. A yellow Stude Scout (now I have all 3!), red Aston DBS with the new fast wheels, white Aston One-77, Ford Falcon Race Car, and Lamborghini Estoque. So you have even more reason to be jelly as a sandwich, AOS-. And no, a6m5, you can't have my GT40.

 

[Prince.M5]

Yesterday I bought an Aston Martin One-77 in grey... I am still looking for the Falcon Racer, BMW M3 GT2 and Estoque aaand many more. I got the Aston for MYR5.90 and that's cheaper by MYR1 compared to other stores.

My collection is getting too big.

 

[AOS-]

Explain?

Think of it like a response to that project.

 

[a6m5]

And no, a6m5, you can't have my GT40.

But it's Christmas and everything.

I've tried looking at some Hot Wheels, but right before Christmas must be the worst time to look around. Toy section is crammed with people!

 

[AOS-]

Funny, the racks here are EMPTY!

 

[a6m5]

Funny, the racks here are EMPTY!

Big chance, bro. Surely they must be on reorder, so get ready for some Treasure Hunts???

 

[AOS-]

I don't even look at the text underneath the car on the packaging... All I look at is the car itself and the name that's printed on the side. Treasure Hunts or not, I buy whatever cars I feel like buying.
