1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Received two MBX Alfa 4C's from ebay today (1 for customising, the other keeping sealed). I think one of them's a variation.. not that i care about that kind of thing.

Lovely little car.

 

[Nvrrespected]

Seriously, why can't we all just play (with our toy brum-brums)

This.. reminds me of my little sister, and is simultaneously hilarious.
Also happy late birthday, I didn't see that post till this morning. Your left lung, for TLV trade is on its way.

New Stuff. Not much. A ridiculous good 3 pack, and 2 motorbicycles

The Italians
HW Aventador J, Ducati 1098R-
These both look great. The blue isn't the first color I'd expect for a Lamborghini, but it looks great. The car just screams crazy. The Ducati is actually one of those 2 dollar "premium" bikes, that come with the figure and all that. Well the figures can be removed, and the bike is all metal, except maybe the gas tank. I like the yellow. Has this ever been a mainline?

69 Torino Talladega, Jeep Scrambler-
Torino, been there. Have a couple, lovely in red. Jeep is awesome. Didn't know it existed or what it was. Design is great, color works, the bed has firewood and an axe in it. Cool cool cool.

Pick of the day

Dodge Tomahawk-
All metal. All silver chrome. All awesome. I've always loved this thing as soon as I found out about it. It's nuts. Certified insane. A Dodge Viper Engine on a bike. That's just... Yea. And people have ridden these. That's just crazy. I'd buy one to sit in my living room and stare at, but I'd never turn the key.

Edit: @Nessy
I bought 2 the other day for exactly the same reasons. It's gorgeous.

Sissy.

That new TLV GT-R is so mine, hopefully it's this color:

Sissy.

And proud of it!
Truly I don't like riding motorcycles. I like the way they look and sound, but I'm actually afraid of riding them. My dad was hit while riding his Harley, by a box truck. He was truly lucky to be alive afterwards.

Yeah I'm silly afraid of them too 👍

For anyone wondering about the roller coaster cars, here's 6 of them hooked together.

Spoiler: Yeeessssss!

So, here Lamley's article of Tomica's latest attack (on our wallets) plan for the TLV line (all due credit goes to @jtl46, of course):

(Includes pictures of the all new announced cars, as well as the latest offerings, such as that lovely Toyota Century)

Oh jeez, more GT-R's too on the way too? And I didn't even notice those Alfa's at first. My wallet is not prepared for this.

Heck, even the Prarie would be a buy for me,

Already got the Prarie on order (it was an automatic order for me, love different stuff like that), along with a beige Skyline 2000GT.

I can't stop watching that little clip. I'm a sucker for roller coasters. 👍

Oh yeah, new castings for the GT-R and new designs for the N-Attack package. Also, considering the amazement of knowing that a TLV Nissan VGT 2020 will exist can somewhat obscure the fact that there will also be a Alfa Romeo 1300GT Junior. Yes, your wallet is already dead. (Cue "Fist of the North Star" theme song)

Also, that was quick, you have the Prarie in pre-order status? Lucky sod, you seem to enjoy the quirky. And the beige Skyline is an interesting buy, good one. 👍

I dare you to try and get a Silvia Silhouette though, brah.

Consider it cued.. well the series ending music anyway (love this tune) :

A fair enough choice, but I think we need the actual theme that played in the PS2 game, when you did a super move to finish a match. Because like Kenshiro, Tomica just went ham on our wallets, and then said:



"Your savings are already dead."

Also, how were your birthday gifts, Mr. Twin 4C?

 

[Ken]

Ken is not fatally knocked out. Just to let you know.

That loopster vid is pretty nifty though.

The tank is my wallet, Tomica is Kenshiro:..

They were great! Didn't get much in the way of diecast, but i got quite a few handy tools for customising.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes BTW to you all.

Of course you're not fatally knocked out, there is a reason why the show is called "Hokuto No Ken". You are the main character, correct?

Also, yes, that loopster video is quite nice. I do recall owning a HW Loop track myself, as well as this strange track. I can't quite recall its shape, but I do know it had a generator of sorts that had wheels on each side, which in turn could propel the cars as if they were rockets. I do know I had some F1 cars to go with it (also from HW), such as a Jordan...

The Scrambler is reissue/retool (I don't own one so I can't say) of an old casting from the 80s. There are some pretty cool variations from back in the day too, some with the original Real Riders.

Here's one of them...

 

[Spacegoat]

Also, that was quick, you have the Prarie in pre-order status?

Oh yeah, could have waited until they were both released in October. But I always like to get my order in early.

I dare you to try and get a Silvia Silhouette though, brah.

I'm not holding out hope for that one at all. It will sell out, fast. You can guarantee it. Might have to resort to eBay for one when the time comes.

Beat me to it. Awesome still though!.

Still cool! Lol. The only difference I can see off the bat, besides the wheels of course, is the bars from roof to bed are filled in on those and open on the newer one.

Well, you are eager, I'll give you that. May you enjoy that Prarie, it looks like a really cheerful car for a MPV box. 👍

Oh yeah, it will sell out like hot cakes on a discount day. That Silvia will decrease in store availability and increase in price, rapidly. Like, Kazuyoshi Hoshino-rapidly (see what I did here?). I wish I had the luck (and the money) to get one quickly, but those are two things that aren't on my "available" list...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hmmm, should I purchase one of these? Not sure if it's worth it, the Greenlight Motor World cars are usually lacking on quality.

Like anime figurines, I think I may end up liking the unpainted version much more.

Personal opinion. Naahh. It's ok. But I don't think it's worth premium line money.

 

[CodeRedR51]

It's $4.

In any case, I just bought 2 cases of the new Auto Worlds so I won't be buying the Jag. There goes $100.

 

[yabiggoose]

Found these today. Unpainted grill version wooooo

 

[Nvrrespected]

Lol. For me 4 dollars is premium XD. I would spend at absolute max like 10 bucks unless it was something absolutely must have or I'll never be able to live. Definitely gotta see these Auto worlds when you get them. Anything good that you know of?

Kyosho re-releases the Bentleys in the Kyosho Original series. @RCKakashi14, would that make it the OEM ex-Kyosho thing then?

 

[Nessy]

Not sure whether this is real, but if it is, i want it!

Funnily enough, i was planning on making a custom that is very similar. Seems i don't have to now.

Love the side mounted flat engine.

Nice. 👍
I have one of each too (painted and unpainted grill).

What would be interesting (provided they're both loose), is a size comparison pic between the Siku version, along side the diddy Matchbox version. I'm convinced Siku have messed up with their stated scaling on that model.. i know it says 1/55, but i'm convinced it's closer to 1/50.. Although Matchbox doesn't state their scale on the underneath chassis of that model. When on earth did MBX stop doing that?

Not really. They just have a knack for making variants, that's all. More $$$$ for them.

I know the Matchbox isn't loose (not opening one yet lol) but here's my Siku 4C and the Matchbox one.
