1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[a6m5]

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.

I actually mentioned it to Jarrod before, except I absolutely one-upped the suggestion: 1/64 figures must be included.

Was it Hugo, Sawyer & Charlie or something like that? Their 1/64 figures + that rusted bus released as GL diorama.

Edit:

Okay, bring in Jin, too! Not the stupid dog that's always running away though.

I hated that damn dog. But a diorama? I'd buy one in a spilt second. Without a thought. I just don't know what other vehicles they could bring in. A canoe maybe? A jumbo jet? Hugo's Hummer? Or different versions of the van? Because this needs to exist to 1/64.

Edit: There you go, the Hugo pack. The van, his Hummer, and the Camaro his dad and he were fixing up.

 

[Spacegoat]

The show actually went back in time as well, when the vans were new.

Okay, I've only ever seen the first couple of seasons. That does make more sense then. 👍

I hated that damn dog.

I'm a big softie when it comes to animals but yeah, screw that dog.

Because this needs to exist to 1/64.

Totally! 👍👍

Same. Usually a dog person.

I hope they listen to you. I pray really.

It would be nice. I'm not a huge fan of Greenlight, but their dioramas and sets are worth the money. Example? Just look at their Blues Brothers collections. If I had desert island cars, they'd be on the list.

If it does ever happen. I hope you remind them who's idea it was. They've got to give you a free set, at the very least!

Hey, not bad, you managed to grab GL's attention. Gotta love that globalized effort; Japanese man wants LOST diorama, which was mentioned by Australian man. So, Japanese man uses American "weapon" to post his desire to own such a diorama, and gets a like from big American company who made the Samba Bus that Japanese man bought. Hey, when you get good results, it's worth mentioning these companies, right?

Also, I had no clue that there was a LOST character named Hugo, but then again I was never really a huge LOST follower (gomenasai Shinji-san ). Still, if the guy had a Camaro, he's cool in my book. 👍 Also, you really do hate the dog; so much in fact that you accidentally chose a picture where he's mostly cut out from the back and foreground!

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.

Regarding Hot Wheels GT - friendly reminder that Tomica did a GT1 and GT2 tie-in release too back in the day:

(digged from my old thread in the GT1 forum)

 

[yabiggoose]

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

Christ they only came out in Canada and MONTHS earlier than were meant to. You could be a bit more polite.

Christ try to loosen up a bit with my posts. I jab a lot. A lot.

There was a picture of said cars on the same page, and I feel it's arguable one could at least scroll through the current page for content they seek. So of you feel that is the most preposterous thing any human could ever say, please speak now (but do it softly!)

Auto World Series 5 friday sneak peek.

That is a very interesting shade of colour, I have to say. My guess could be wrong, but it looks like some sort of salmon-esque paintchip, no?

Either way, bad guess or not, it's a good looking casting. The detailing seems to be on point, no major mistakes or anything of the sort...

 

[Ken]

The colour seems to fit the casting quite well, IMHO.

This is why I'm always telling you you gonna get banned......

Jk

Dog sucks, ask anybody..... It's actually not that bad.

PS Hugo from Lost could eat you.

It's always tough love with Andy. Always.

Eh, I've seen worse dogs. And besides, I tend to dislike over-agressive mutts anyways, so maybe that dog's "peaceful tendencies" would actually be endearing to me.

PS Hugo from Lost could eat you.

Hey, what's that supposed to mean? Well, if the guy's desperate for food, cannibalism could be the only answer...

Regarding Hot Wheels GT - friendly reminder that Tomica did a GT1 and GT2 tie-in release too back in the day:

GT2 set looks familiar. 👍 Glad I grabbed that one when I did. Looking at eBay just now, the only GT2 set I can see on there, guy wants $260 for the thing. !

If I recall correctly, @commodoreben has both sets.

This is why I'm always telling you you gonna get banned......

Jk

Why am I getting banned? You're the one who suggested it!

From my Meijer trip just now. Decided to add to my Johnny Lightning collection with some good old American muscle. Finally found the '71 GTO to complete the series 1 set for 2016. Besides the GTO, my favorite of the bunch has to be a sentimental favorite, the '65 Pontiac Catalina 2+2. It was the first car I remember my dad having. His was white though. I remember (being about 4-5 years old) riding in that big boat with Johnny Cash playing in the 8-track player with my dad (R.I.P) singing along to "Orange Blossom Special" and "Ring of Fire" among other Cash hits. Ah, the fond childhood memories. Sorry, just got a bit reminiscent for a minute. Anyways, here's some pics of my haul.

1972 Ford Maverick


1971 Pontiac GTO


1965 Pontiac Catalina 2+2

I can certainly try, but I cant even scan a smartphone matrix code I photographed with this phone.

Or you can just type the numbers.

Gonna go shopping at different Walmarts, targets, and Meijers today since I have the weekend off.

Some side by side shots I made a while back.

[Gotbeefboy564]

So I saw these cards at target.

Spring series
And this one

Looks like they're target exclusives.

 

[a6m5]

You are probably right. Found same card maybe last week? Also at Target:

Sorry for the ultra blurry shot.

Eh, I've seen worse dogs. And besides, I tend to dislike over-agressive mutts anyways, so maybe that dog's "peaceful tendencies" would actually be endearing to me.

No, all dogs are good. Except that one.

Hey, what's that supposed to mean? Well, if the guy's desperate for food, cannibalism could be the only answer...

Perhaps that's how he kept his figure while starving on the island.

GT2 set looks familiar. 👍 Glad I grabbed that one when I did. Looking at eBay just now, the only GT2 set I can see on there, guy wants $260 for the thing. !

If I recall correctly, @commodoreben has both sets.

I'm probably going to get the fullset of the hot wheels now. I can't wait to hang onto them until they are selling for $260. jk

I got it figured out, rookie:
