1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Cano]

So I went to Northern Colorado's first annual ComicCon yesterday. Didn't have that much fun. But my buddy was selling something kinda cool. Matchbox catalogs from 1968 to 1977, missing only 1971. I got them all for $15.

Coolest post in this thread in quiiiiite a while, dude 👍 very awesome.

Wow, there's some killer artwork on those. Awesome score. 👍

What I picked up from Sandown:

And as a bonus, here is the '96 Bathurst Commodore run by HRT:

The Biante models are sensational. I really miss them in the modern era

Bugger I knew I should have gone.

My dad found a 180SX and the new Off Road Toyota a couple days ago. It's pretty surprising because we're in Michigan and we're usually a little behind on everything. I cannot wait for more of the 180.View attachment 445620

The grandville area is pretty good with new cars.

Finally they give us something from the third movie.

Had a great haul today.
Found a brat at Walmart

Then a exotic 5 pack and a 4Runner at a Toys R Us

Then found some goodies the new real rider series 7-12 at a Target
And a ford raptor, Tacoma, and a Cadillac from matchbox

Speaking of Matchbox, I came across some new cars at Walmart yesterday. I was right about the Porsche Cayman, looked goofy to me in person so I passed on it. There was a Lambo LM002 which I almost bought, but passed instead. Just walked away with the BMW M5 police car.

Sweet Jesus that whole batch of RR cars is sick!

My favorite are the Transit and Silverado surprisingly.

WheelCollectors sent me an email saying they have new Greenlights. Now my wallet is $30 lighter...

 

[MedigoFlame]

Maybe I shouldn't have brought my Greenlights in for display on my desk at work. The general manager came in and took all of them, since some kid was crying. Should have told him to take the 1/24's instead.

Didn't even ask?

I have some cars on my desk and every so often someone likes to move them around on me. Ticks me off every time.

Nope... As I was coming back to the office, saw him rushing out with them saying "I've got a kid bawling in the showroom! I need these!" Can't wait for the kid to shove them in his mouth or something. The 1/24's would have been more appropriate.

Luckily he didn't take my Tow&Hitch Ram with SRT trailer.

I get co-workers who come into my office and push the cars back and forth smashing them together quite often, when they're asking me for help.

You have more patience than I do.

I :censored:ing need that Transit. And I hardly even buy HWs anymore.

I really like it too. Now the question is do I open them?

 

[Nvrrespected]

The answer will always be yes. Unless it's something ridiculously stupid rare, or something your plan on resales

 

[MedigoFlame]

Picked these up. Finally something new(ish) at the local Walmart!

Also, back on Labor Day, my brother came home from France and brought this Norev Peugeot T16 Pikes Peak.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Haven't even seen those red Skylines yet. Plus the Delorean.

Saw those on Lamley yesterday. The brown VW camper is what's holding up my AmiAmi order for this month. Do wish it would hurry up.

I bought that one, the Black Bandit VW Bus & Jeep Wrangler, and the new Hot Pursuit series Mustang.

Some 2016 renderings released recently. More HERE.

These are the ones I am interested in:

 

[AOS-]

That's an Escort I'd like to have.

I'd also like to have:

edit:

This is going to be a $TH. I now want to get one.

 

[Nvrrespected]

There's some good stuff, Especially the Raptor, Escort and 240sx. Also the Porsche Rsr. I like the willys they have too, though not as much. For a fantasy model I have passing interest in the hi-roller

 

[Niku Driver HC]

I'd personally take the Aventador, the Raptor, and maybe the 180SX/240Z duo. The Nissan cars are tuned versions, yes, but they seem like the tasteful kind of tuned versions, which brings their stock up a bit. The Firebird would be an interesting purchase as well, although I am not a fan of red body + orange-ish Flaming Chicken decals.

Also, all that Escort is missing is a yellow stripe of some description and you could have a Portuguese-centric Escort, haha.

 

[R5]

I'd personally take the Aventador

Naa, the casting looks way too much like a Huracan

Haha, is that so? Well then, you could have a Aventador/Huracan hybrid, it would surely be an unique car... Would it be known as the Huraventador, or the Avenracan?

 

[Nessy]

Love that red Escort and 240Z.

Actually found a 1st edition Escort yesterday (yes, it's taken that long..). I may actually make the effort to collect the other colours.

Oh, that Transit is straight-up awesome too.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Love that red Escort and 240Z 260Z.

Fixed.
