1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Jetboy.]

There are a couple like Stockar that are clear like that local to here. I was entertaining the idea of getting them for novelty purposes. (Read: Clear tires are epic.)

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Nice 👍 Have you seen the Funny Car Mustang and the Pro Stock Firebird? You seem like a drag racing enthusiast so maybe you'd like those.


Also, whats that blue car in the Caddy picture under the silver car to the right?

I think I have them, we have so many Hotwheels it's hard to keep track.

The blue car is called the Scorcher.

Picked up an orange Murcielago, a green/black Corvette ZR1, a black Gallardo LP560-4, a blue/silver CLK DTM, and a yellow/blue Shelby Daytona Coupe. It was a mystery car. I'll put some pics up when I can.

Sorry for the bad photo quality, I'm not much of a photographer.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Here's that picture I promised of the new Speed Machines.

I also picked this up tonight. These "Garage" cars with the signature decal on the bottom are considered the Treasure Hunt of the Garage series cars. This one is also an error because there's two signatures. Oops.

 

[Jetboy.]

Almost bought that Nova tonight, but balked (Along with a key few others that my budget said "No".) Here's what came home with me.



Auto-thentics 1957 Chrysler 300C Hemi

Hot Wheels Speed Machines Corvette C6-R (Goes along with the Saleen S7-R, Ford GT LM, and soon to come, the Ferrari 575 GTC)

Greenlight SE 1967 Dodge D-100 Pick-up

1950 Chevrolet Police Panel Truck

1992 GMC Typhoon

The Police Panel truck, 300C, D-100, and some moving van I got are going into my/my grandfather's model village. The Typhoon and the C6-R go with me.

 

[Prince.M5]

Gehee... That Corvette and the Gallardo is in my list this time around, after I finally got the CTS-V

 

[Prince.M5]

Yaay!! I bought a Ford GT LM and a Majorette Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution rally

Pictures coming in later

Here they are:-

Ford GT LM

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Rally

 

[Apok]

Congratulations on the buy.
Looks like my rally team is getting a competitor eh?

 

[Prince.M5]

Oooouh yeah!!

Ford Fusion and Chevy Camaro Concept

Mercedes AMG CLK DTM

Land Rover Sport

 

[Apok]

Cool mercedes Ahmad 👍
But I'm not really a fan of fords and chevys. I do think, that that range rover looks nice though. How are the details? Anything interesting to note?

 

[Christian_C]

My 3 JGTC cars.
http://img705.imageshack.us/i/dsc01949nq.jpg/

There too cool where did you get those from?

 

[Prince.M5]

Thanks Apokalipse

I did bought more after those, just lazy to post it up... Maybe later on but yeah I'm not a fan of Chevy and Ford too but those cars look cool!! Indeed the Range Rover looks nice but about the details, not really. Sort of like Majorette, with sticker like front and rear lights but the wheels, body shape and the paint is tip top.

I'll try to post the cars up as soon as possible

EDIT!!

Riley & Scott Mk III

'70 Pontiac GTO

GP-2009

Acura NSX

Indy Racer

 

[Driving Park]

You know, I don't actually remember. I do know that they are Muscle Machines though. Part of the Funline I believe.

Indy Racer

Oh, those cheap Maistos. I love 'em. I have a Zonda, as well as 2 Group C-esque LMP cars. I used to have that Indy Racer as well as 2 other formula cars. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

I went to the K-Mart collector's day on Saturday. Got my number called to get my own box to go through. I'll post a picture tonight of what I got. (Treasure Hunt and a few others)

Ooh congratulations. It must feel pretty good knowing that you were the first to search a whole case.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

So do you just go on whatever day they shipment arrives and hope your number gets called? I've wanted to do it atleast once, but haven't gotten around to it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

There's a specific day that they do these. Check with your local K-Mart or keep an eye on the hotwheels collectors website for those dates. You show up, and most stores will hand out tickets for the number of boxes that they have. My store did that, and if your number is called you get a box. Then after all boxes were handed out, we had two minutes to go through them. (there's 36 cars in a box) After those two minutes, everyone has to dump whatever is left in their box into a bin so that everyone that didn't get a box can go through them.

First Row:
'69 Torino Talladega Treasure Hunt
Meyers Manx
'57 Chevy Bel Air

Second Row:
Dodge Challenger SRT8
Ford Thunderbolt
'55 Chevy Bel Air
'70 AAR Cuda

Third Row:
Scirocco GT 24
'70 Plymouth Superbird
'67 Chevelle SS 396
Custom V8 Vega

Now that I have a job I've been able to get back into collecting and modding. I somehow found the two still packaged ones for sale at the store, which to me is amazing because they're pretty old, they have codes for planet hotwheels which I can remember playing as a kid. I want to take them out of the packaging but I was wondering if it would be worth it to leave them in because of how long ago that was, or if it doesn't matter. The two overly expensive rubber tire ones I bought just for the wheels for other cars I have, and the bug was just awesome.

Hope to find some really good ones next time, I really want to try to find those treasure hunt cars.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Check the bottom of that Corvair? for a signature tampo before you take it apart.

 

[Prince.M5]

@ Driving Park

Nicee!!! Looks like you collect them too. Thought that I am the only one who collects those Maistos. Yeap, it's cheap, compared to Hot Wheels. The details are good, but not as great as Hot Wheels though but still being a nice and cheap

The details are a bit lacking, but they get praise just for not puting those awful headlight stickers on the models. The castings are very good too, but the main reason are the wheels. Here is an example.

The wheels are just too small! And that is a problem for me, as I never take the models apart.

The fire dept. gots da bling bling

But they do have some nice models for a nice cheap price.
For example I bought this one

Too bad that the stores I go to only have about 5 at a time and since nobody buys them they dont restock frequently or I would buy a lot more (They make a lambo miura )

It has a little white signature that looks like an S with a W inside. What is the importance of the signature?

 

[Prince.M5]

Yeah the bad part of Maisto is their wheels. It looks awful in some cars.

For example, it looks really good on my Z4 but bad on my Charger, X6 and 1er. The CLK GTR and the Indy Racer equipped with the same wheels like the one up there, thus looks real good. It pretty much depends...

You have a treasure hunt of the Garage series.

Might want to keep that one around.

Edit: Here's one I picked up the other day. Seems you have the same signature.

Well that's awesome, and sucks at the same time. I really wanted to use those wheels and it's already out of the packaging, wish I had known about this earlier.
