1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Apok]

Money doesn't grow on trees, but it does in @GroupB's wallet.

 

[GroupB]

Ha! Definitely not a regular occurrence. Because of the distances involved, I tend to buy in bulk once or twice a year rather than spreading it out.

got me some new old stock hotwheels ranging from 1995-2000, over 60 of them but these are my favorites so far (besides the hot seat ). so glad i got the bmw roadster! now the question is to open them or not .

 

[yabiggoose]

Ooh I like that Mercedes.

I had most of those. I started collecting around 1998 and my family was living in an apartment at the time while we waited for our house to be built. There was a Walmart right next door. I would get up at 5am for school and run over there every morning to check if they stocked the pegs. I remember having TONS of variations too. When I didn't have enough allowance money I would hide them and come back a day or two later and they would still be there.

Ah the good 'ol days. Now collecting HW's sucks.

Any reason why that Monte Carlo concept is so heavy?

It's all metal.

lol nice! these hotwheels were before my time and call me crazy but i like them more than most of the new ones. especially the crazy fantasy cars, ya know when they were actually crazy? like the rodzilla.

they are all metal, same with a few other cars not pictured here like the porsche 959.

yeah that and the bmw were the main reasons i got this lot. im debating whether or not to open them and detail them or just leave them in the package.

i think i did pretty good for my first lot purchase, i got the lot of 63 for $30 shipped all carded.

My summer buying binge has arrived. That's it for 2015!

Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off of the floor. Great stuff. 👍

 

[nathan8856]

went to walmart and they had new cars out, the collector picked everything worth while out. so i went shopping around a few other places but all i could find that i wanted were these:

im thinking a wheel swap and possibly a lift for the Silverado and just leaving the Acura nsx as is

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

What case were those?

 

[nathan8856]

What case were those?

not sure, but they had fiats, these, Caddillac elmiraj's, ford ranchero's, green bmw m4's, custom 2015 mustangs, and a few more new models. not sure what treasure hunts or super treasure hunts cause they were all gone. im gonna go there tomorrow and ask around tomorrow and see if i can order a sealed case.

Rx7 I think is a K day exclusive. Same with the mustang. These are the rest. http://www.hotwheelscollectors.com/news/kmart-collectors-day-95-snag-64-gmc-panel-2

ah ok, well i cant really say im happy with the new cars (other than the Acura NSX and the Fiat) i just wish they'd make more trucks and SUV's normal everyday cars. still waiting for someone to make a 1/64 scale ford excursion lol.

thanks! i believe i have seen that one before, i may have to pick one up. my only problem with it is its gonna take ALOT to make it look somewhat realist/semi-stock.
someone did it but no way i will pay $40 for it!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Was able to find some redlines.
Copperstopper at Walmart
The ford and Chevy were from target. Couldn't find the other 3.

Hands up if you have these in your collection:

 

[CodeRedR51]

YAY Mattel is FINALLY putting a classic Z on same size wheels front/rear. About freakin' time.

New 260Z for 2016...

 

[AOS-]

I bought all those 240Z for nothing!

 

[photonrider]

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Found the other 3 redlines at my store.

Luckily a scalper didn't take the skylines. I bought them after my shift ended.

I've got the Isuzu but it's red. Does it still count?

Yes it still does.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm all over the Jeeps and maybe the Ramcharger. Everything else, not so much.

I'm really starting to hate how much greenlight uses the dodge ram. But that ramcharger whoooo.

Ok so... Anybody like Mad Max? Anyone?
Cause yea...

It is 1.64th scale. Metal body, plastic details. Not the greatest quality. But it's mad max! Which for me is awesome.
