1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Another variant of the R34 GT-R will be released, this time in retail.

Not sure if I'll get that Celica, though...

I'm all for CM's GT-FOURs. Grab one, repaint it, have the best street car GT-FOUR in your 1/64 collection.

Anyone hear about this?

Probably late on posting this. >_>

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hmmmm, just searched eBay with no luck.

 

[AOS-]

Isn't that just a custom?

Looks like one.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Isn't that just a custom?

That's why I posted the article. Toyota was handing them out at the displays around the country.

 

[AOS-]

Right. That's doesn't look like a Hot Wheels. At least, not one I recognize.

 

[CodeRedR51]

It looks like it's all cast as a solid object. (wheels don't roll, etc)

Edit:

 

[Spacegoat]

Greenlight are making the Family Truckster from National Lampoon's Vacation. So much want.

 

[yabiggoose]

$3 (aud) for the lot from a charity shop. Don't mind if I do.

 

[Apok]

Love the Capri. 👍

 

[Cano]

Holy hell, such a steal 👍

Edit:

All of them look fabulous. Especially the metallic red and pink one.

The red is a chase car, and so is the bare metal one on the right.

Tried looking for Porsche series found out they were Wal-Mart exlusives did not find any though , but i did find the 007 remakes got all of them .

(Sorry about the image quality battery charger is broken for my camera)

Also these.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Got 3 q case cars at a Meijer after work.

Then went to a Walmart. Btw I don't work at Walmart anymore. And found the Camo series way better car selections than the James Bond series

And some A case cars

Those were all I could find in the dump bin, none on the pegs.

Interesting selection, why did you choose them? (Don't worry, I'm not being critical)

............ Are they upside down? TLVs look fine though.

The prodigal son returns.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Uh oh.....

UHHH OHHHH!!!!!!!! I think we know what this place is!



After nearly two months of waiting and half a dozen dreams about going there (Not even joking), I finally got to go again!

Here is what I picked up this time around:

Another 80's Corvette. I have come to like this casting and it goes great next to the ex Corgi Chevrolet Corvette and at only $1, why not?


1996 Mustang GT. Had this exact one with a car wash set back when I was 4 or 5 years old, I still got it, but it is in rough shape. So seeing that they had a version in better condition for only $1, I couldn't ignore this childhood favorite of mine, so I got it! It will go great with that blue one I got recently.


'70 Mustang Boss 429. With a Mustang this awesome sitting around and being only $5, I couldn't resist it! (Pardon the packaging, my dad apparently couldn't wait to open it before I took the picture.)


Jaguar XJS. Seeing how minty this thing was and remembering how diabolicwyvern posted it earlier, with Cano having a spasm shortly after, this was too cool to pass up.


Here's where it get's really interesting.....

Greyhound MC-8. First time seeing this one in person. I remember being hyped for this one to be released in the 2011 Hot One's series, but sadly it never happened. I had wanted this one ever since. While the $18 price tag was a little "up there", I liked the condition it was in and everything else about it, so I took it.

Last but not least, this:

I don't know who in the right mind sells a book like this for only $5, but hey, I am not complaining!

Of course, here is the receipt as always.



Well I certainly have done it this time on my spending, $10 more than my last visit! But hey, go big or go home! Pretty successful run today!

5-spokes version is a tough one to find, too bad it's not mint.

Interesting, I guess that explains why I never see these things, anywhere.

too bad it's not mint.

I am not sure I understand. It has some small chips here and there, but the paint is still very sleek when you rub your fingers over it and still shines like it's a new. (Although the crappy photo probably hides it) Is it just slightly short of being "mint"?

(Don't worry, I'm not being critical)

It's cool mate. I know you're not being critical. 👍 As for why I selected them. Well don't think the Skyline needs much explaining. And I really like unusual models that you don't normally see elsewhere, the Prairie fills that nicely. Alto's, can't really explain why but I really like the new Alto, a lot.

............ Are they upside down?

Take it you didn't see the picture of them I posted in our covo?

TLVs look fine though.

Oh they are. Hope you'll be impressed with the Skyline as much as I am.

Mint = perfect. Even one small paint chip = not mint.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Well if you want perfection, that does make sense. This one isn't too far off.

Good grabs, but my god that Greyhound was steep. I know it's difficult to come by, but man...

The Boss 429 rules 👍
