1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Prince.M5]

Ahmad! I have some of those exact cars (same liveries too). In the second to last livery I have a the red see through Ferrari 360 Modena, the browny coloured Chevy Impala with Engine out of the bonnet and exhausts. The Volkswagen Beetle, which turns into a Dune Buggy if you take off the top. Got the 333 SP (red one), Maserati MC12, used to have the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, got the MC12, and the burgandy Mustang. And the Cobra concept. I'll find them.

Haha, awesome! I'll try to take all my loose cars out to show them to you. Sadly though, most of my old cars are badly mashed up... That, includes Vin Diesel's (Dominic Torreto's) Mazda RX-7 from the movie The Fast and The Furious.

EDIT:

Anyway, Maj... Please don't comment on the cereal box

Was that a Eurofighter on the last page?

I don't remember where, but somebody posted a pic of GT2. Liked the plastic headlights, so I had to pick this one up. Rather have a white one though, if they have it. Also picked up another Continental. I never have been interested in the Wayne's Garage models, but it was on sale($1.74), and I noticed all the features from Treasure Hunt-types, so I decided it was a good buy.

@a6m5,
Yeah you're right.. it was just a blog of some kind, i was gonna provide the link, but it really doesn't say much about it at all (i'm such a noob.. i forgot about the translation function), though it's really kind of you to offer to translate, Thanks mate, (but not needed on this occassion).

No sweat. 👍

That was a steal for a Garage-series car.

They do have a white one. 👍

Also, did you check the bottom of that Continental for a signature tampo?

 

[a6m5]

That El Camino ben posted, one of my favorite Hot Wheels around. 👍

That was a steal for a Garage-series car.

Yeah, they had that Vintage Racing series, too. Unfortunately, that one was pretty much cleaned out.

They do have a white one. 👍

I'm not sure what I'm looking for, but I don't see anything out of ordinary on the bottom, so it's probably just a standard one.

Thanks for the tip on the white Porsche though. I'll be on a look out for it! 👍

But the sign isn't physically on the window, right? That would be WAY cool.....

Nice, I have been looking for that version of the 'Cruiser.

But the sign isn't physically on the window, right? That would be WAY cool.....

Yes, the signs actually on the window (Not my pic)

 

[a6m5]

Oh my god, that is WAY cool. Thanks for finding the pic. 👍

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Just snapped 20ish pictures of everything I've bought since probably mid October including the STH Ford Falcon I found today!!!!!

PICTURE EXPLOSION!!!

This is everything. I've broken it up below into like items for your viewing pleasure. Its too much to wirte about each, so if you have a question about a car or item, ie. How the hell did you get that diabolic, just post it here.

7 A-Teams and 8 Laguna Mustangs...what can I say, I like them!

I have doubles or triples of every car in this picture!

Rares wheel option on Ferrari / Rarest Combination (clear/white interior) on Zender

$3 Treasures from Vintage Stock w/Protecto included!!

Loose treasures I've found

-------------------------------------

Next two pictures came from same eBay win. ($16 w/shipping)

Several bonus cars, a couple computer cars, vintage series, 5-packs...basically every car in the lot aside from the 95-6 first editions is rare and awesome!!

Porsche was eBay--fresh pull for $3.95, while Flintmobile was flea market find.

Pawn Shop finds: All 1/each. Three Zee and 1 Sommer

An idea of how many cars I've opened in the last couple weeks!

^^This one is heading right for my top ten favorites. Its so bad 🤬 !!

AND FINALLY.....

Found the Chevy at Big Lots a few weeks ago and the Falcon about three hours ago at Toys r Us!!!!!

Questions? Thoughts? Comments?​

One last thing

And OMG what happened to my green Scirocco?!?

Night Burner (except when it was a Treasure hunt when it was known as Mega Thrust.)

(I'm catching up on the thread and saw someone asked what car was in the blister)

 

[Prince.M5]

That 'For Sale' advert on the windscreen is awesome!

Anyway, thanks diabolicwyvern for the clarifiction. Well, I think someone opened the packaging and replaced it with that car, obviously from the staples on the packaging. But then, where the hell did he get that car? I don't know

 

[Antonisbob]

Oh my god, that is WAY cool. Thanks for finding the pic. 👍

I know right? Even better is that it's a WAGON!

 

[diabolicwyvern]

But then, where the hell did he get that car? I don't know

Perhaps he likes the Night Burner as much as I do...so much so that he/she always carries a spare around with them. You know just in case! ( I have every one Hotwheels has every released except the Treasure Hunt version. Hunting down the Valentines Day one from Target was a 🤬 though.

Ignore the Bone Shakers in the center row!​

 

[Prince.M5]

^^ Good collection mate! But still I don't understand why someone wanted that Scirocco so much and replaced it with that. The car fits in the blister nicely too!

Hopefully no one is unlucky enough to buy that lemon. The price difference is quite big and you ended up paying MYR5 more for that

 

[diabolicwyvern]

^^ Good collection mate!

Wanted to point out that what I posted was just what I picked up in the last couple months. My entire collection would take pages to show. Going back to page 85 (a higher pg number for non premium members since you have ads as well) I've probably gotten nearly half my stuff on here! The rest is in storage to stay for a few more years till I move again.

 

[Cano]

I again see some versions that I had never seen in your stash, Wyvern.

The white funny car with sponsors and 5 spokes is awesome, I had never ever seen it! Neither the yellow Comando or that blue Nissan Hardbody.

EDIT: Have you ever seen that green Ram with WHITE 5 hole wheels like that one? I remember I have it somewhere.

From here, the black ramp truck!!! Awesome, I had never seen it either.

As for the new 2012 cars, They haven't hit Mexico yet. I WANT that green 71 Trans Am. So far that is my most expected casting after the disaster that was the one we had a few years ago:

One of HW's worse castings ever.

Also, lucky bastard with those $THs.

 

[Frostyboys]

One of HW's worse castings ever.

but I love that hot wheel

 

[Cano]

haha come on dude, it's absolutely horrible. It was scaled with someone's feet. Nothing makes sense on it.

This on the other side looks way better, it's not perfect, but it ain't a monstrosity either:

I believe the Nissan Hardbody is from a 4-5 car series from 1996-ish, and is extremely hard to find. I had the whole set from that series, except for that damn truck. Could never find it...

EDIT: Have you ever seen that green Ram with WHITE 5 hole wheels like that one? I remember I have it somewhere.

I had one.

Ahhh yesss, now that you mention it, I remember that freaking color. There was a 55 Chevy and other cars, but I had never seen the Nissan truck. Great grab right there!

 

[Antonisbob]

*Wants that Sting Rod.

Also, I hope I can find atleast one TH this year. -_-

your right about it looking better, but the white one's staying in my collection

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Its the Blue streak series. Aside from the loose Nissan Hardbody, here are the others I have new and loose.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yep, that's it.

So my day sucked. 3 Targets, 3 Wal-Marts, and a Toys R Us later and I came home with 5 cars. Nothing too exciting. The pickings around here are horrible. No wonder I only go true Hotwheels hunting every 2 months, because it's the same story no matter where I go. Pegs full of old cars. 👎

 

[Cano]

Fleamarket day!! I found a new, small fleamarket, it's far away but within fast reach in the subway, and there is a guy who exclusively sells diecast. Prices are a bit high but the quality of cars is pretty good. I'll show you later, first I gotta eat.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Went to 3 toys r us, 2 k-mart, 2 walmart, 2 deals and a family dollar store yesterday. 10 stops and I only bought merch from 2 of the toys r us and 1 walmart. Snagged 4 more of the Falcon XD and 2 of the HW Premiere Falcon Race car plus the entire new series of Team Hot wheels cars (with nickel plated axles) and several other random cars. (Firebird, FTE cars for the track, etc)

I'm setting up a track tomorrow at my brothers apartment and will take pics of the layout + what I bought today then. If I could work out how to embed a video here ( Is that the correct phrasing) I'll take a film of the course in action!

 

[Stiggy]

diabolicwyvern, you know you want to send me that Falcon . In fact I actually have both the regular and $uper versions of the Mega Thrust if you'd want to trade.

 

[Cano]

So I woke up in a customizing mood today, and decided I would finish at least one of the several project cars I have opened in the last weeks. But I soon found out I'm lacking a lot of things. I need bright black paint to finish detailing on a 32 Ford, and matte black to finish detailing a 34. Then I need to mask off several things like the fender flares of a Kenmeri Skyline and the bumbers of a Hachi Roku in order to coat them black. Then I need red paint to detail some taillights. I also need a new cutting disc for the Dremel, as the one I had literally split in half, to trim away excesss glass in the Kenmeri so it's new rollcage can fit. I also need to go see a guy who knows how to custom-bend axles so you can shorten them without having to cut them in half. And I also need to go see a guy who has ample experience printing tampos, because I ran some tests this past week and they came out horrible. I also need to chrome-paint then clear-coat several chromed and polished parts like the Kenmeri's wheels and some hot rod's engine, and I also have to delete the Goodyear lettering on some tires. Oh, and also change the color of the JL 37 Ford's interior to caramel instead of black, and buying that Tamiya clear-yellow to fix GHO wheels.

And that's only off the top of my head. So today I only managed to detail the interior of the Kenmeri and the 70 Camaro. Tomorrow I'll go buy some masking tape (ran out of) and start masking things off. I hope that by next weekend I can go to my friend's paint and body shop to have things painted.

Paint and body shop?

Why no rattle can?
