1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Nessy]

Their only goal with mainline is to keep them under $1.

It's a shame they can't keep them under $1 in this country. We pay close to $2 (or slightly over) for the same mainline.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I don't think anybody I know's seen them here in the U.S. Anytime now.....

I haven't seen them yet, and I go to the stores every night after work.

 

[SonicCharmeleon]

You'd think we start seeing them in the States first, but it hasn't been the case. I've read online that Canada got them last month. I keep checking my local stores. Wish me luck.

Yeah, I have a few of the japan historics, but I could only find 3 at the store.
I also like the tires on them. 👍

Should have skipped the Hot Wheels Charger and waited for the Greenlight one.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Can't say I am a huge fan of the new Camaro's design, but from what I've seen in older Greenlight muscle car castings, I am intrigued about this yellow-belly redneck of a car... But the Hellcat is certainly the more interesting car of the two for me, I have yet to see any of its versions (Charger or Challenger) in proper 1/64 format. One can only wonder how right will GL get these castings...

Eh, I'll wait until I see the actual car. If it's anything like their version of the GT-R, I'll pass.

Speaking of Japan Historics...

Yeah speaking of, I'll be leaving you guys behind now.

Because I am all set.

I do have a set secured from another dude, though I may just turn him down now to save the $$$. If anyone needs anything from a set (or an entire set), and are willing to do international (it will in all honesty cost about 9 USD for Americans), come speak with me and I will try and get it from him.

 

[Zychotic1]

Still havnt seen those...
just snagged a silver *almost zamac appearing* Greenwood corvette (pics when i charge my battery)

If it has green decals, it should be zamac...

Ugh, I want them so badly. Would love to get a case, but who knows, they could actually be in stores soon enough. Or end up like Boulevards....

Speaking of that, anyone want to sell their Renault 5 Turbo? Playing Dirt Rally makes me wish I found that Boulevard model...

If it's not at all red like this:

then it is most certainly a zamac. According to HW Wikia 2016 anyway.

I still have my loose one I am willing to sell to you. I also have an Ignition 1/18 Hakosuka I'm about to list. Want that one too?

I'll pass on the Hakosuka. I like it, but not sure I'm willing to spend the money just yet.

So I got wind of this thread for collector's. I see we have Japan Historics being released soon? Or are they already released? I try to collect the most that I can with a collection amassing roughly 10,000 + cars, but I always acquire more. Are these cars yet to be released or are they already on the market?

"Today's grabs"

Uh. Thanks for not at least checking the thread's current page.

I did check and I have seen pre-orders for sale on Ebay, but none in store. I have read that they are unavailable in the U.S. so that is why I ask. I am rather confused as to if it is something released already or not as it seems to have been an exclusive to Canada.

 

[Zychotic1]

everything about the car tells me its Zamac but the package has no markings


also found the Stars and Stripes Mustang

 

[Koenigsegg19]

My apologies for posting without reading a bit more, I was just wanting to clarify what I was reading as I barely visit gtplanet anymore so I am out of the loop on most things here. Been focusing collections elsewhere and it's hard to keep up. Especially when Hot Wheels makes a new debut damn near every month as I would presume you know.

I don't think it's been confirmed yet, but so far it seems Canada has been getting them mostly.

Coincidentally, just like the Road Racers from 2012. I might just keep mine carded after all

Come on, man! They're not going to make a paint that looks like it's textured metal. That's the imperfect surface of bare metal hot wheels you're looking at.

Where did you find yours?

[Zychotic1]

lol @AOS-
I can see that now... but to be fair I stopped at walmart on my way home from the Optometrist... hard to see much of anything with diolated pupils haha.
I did notice there isnt a Zamac icon on the package like the other Zamacs I've seen... or did they do away with em for '16 and i hadn't noticed

 

[a6m5]

I've been avoiding Greenlight, but as a huge fan of TV show "Lost", I had to pick this one up:

More pics, but I didn't actually open this one. I need the card intact for its reference to the show.

I've been avoiding Greenlight, but as a huge fan of TV show "Lost", I had to pick this one up:

I was two centimeters away from grabbing the Black Bandit Firebird T/A because those wheels were dope, but someone said it was going to be a good idea lifting the front end in an awkward fashion exposing the base like an old Majorette (no offence, fans). Whoever this person was saved me $6. I'd give my heart to this person if I physically could.

Which one is that? I think I used to have one long time ago(my first Black Bandit). I may have gotten rid of mine, because the casting looks really narrow & that bothered the heck out of me.

Looks really nice but honestly, it doesn't quite look right without all the rust and grime like the one in the TV show had, imo.

The show actually went back in time as well, when the vans were new. Having said that, yes, rusted out bus is the one relevant to the main story. If I was GreenLight, I'd have released that one as the chase, but in order to maximize "profit", it's more profitable to release it two separate times, not to mention that I think all their chase releases are "Green Machine".

I've ordered mine just because of how big of a fan I am. I've seen the show at least 15 times. This was a must have. But I do agree with @Spacegoat, it needs more rust and grime, and maybe even a Workman skeleton. Even if they did travel back to the 70's.
