1/64 Model Collectors Thread

If I had to pick between the two, I would go for the Gemini too. The colour sells it for me.

Ewww it's not even a TD or TF Gemi

I have a feeling the R33 isn't going to be on the high end of the lottery system. eBay sellers buying cases will undo the entire lottery system just like the McLaren one.

And the Mclarens haven't been going for raging amounts of money. But these areSkylines, so we'll have to see how crazy people still are.

Walmart, I take it???? Still waiting for my Walmart to get those in.

Really....I'm in that store all the time....must check it out, thanks.

Right at the end of the lunch break(always at the most inconvenient times!), sniped couple of items I wanted from the Japan Booster:

What I was gunning for. What I actually ended up with.

I used to own both. Sold both to trade up to the Shell sets.

I want that yellow 400.

Yes!

The higher the letter, the rarer.

Never been overly huge on the R33 but that red 400R looks sweet.

Ditto, except I think I like the yellow slightly more.

What is up with the wheel detailing differences between Skyline & Gemini? Night & day!

Maybe it's the same kind of deal with me and the Alto. I'm scared now.

You should get Alto. It's worth the money. Also, you aren't crazy. TLV, at least to me, seem to step up their game on tinier castings. They are so sweet!

It is a nice color. Feels like it could be an actual manufacturer color.

They have another pastel color & they were special package color.

But these areSkylines, so we'll have to see how crazy people still are.

I'm going to think really low. It'd be so cool if I can get one of those.

Oh believe me I'm definitely getting one the very first second I have a PayPal.

Sounds nice.

I assume it is?

Fair point.

Nah, red wins!

Yeah, I'd say that's the only thing that lets the Gemini down. Would have been nice to have open spokes on it. Can't really fault it otherwise though.

He's a real quick one, that ol guy.

A6, you didn't see or read anything.

@a5m6, oh my goodness. You put $150 US for that Hino truck.

But damn it looks so GOOD. Please give us some great pics we won't forget.

Nice score on the Idemitsu. I have the Shell version. Prices on both tankers are through the roof; I don't understand why Tomytec hasn't done a couple more variations by now.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Got the second mustang set

Thanks!

Sounds nice.

At least paint the holes black!

I forgive you because you didn't fully spell out "old".

My old one sold for $156 back when(before shipping), but I've regretted it recently & wanted it back. $150's a lot, but it is what it is.

You might remember I used to have the gas station to go with it as well(that sold for $79 & change).

​

I was willing to go just over $70 for the gas station, but I missed it by just few bucks. Tank Lorry, I was willing to go $150, so I placed a bid for $150 + 1 cent & the penny won it(this wasn't a sniper bid).

Nice score on the Idemitsu. I have the Shell version. Prices on both tankers are through the roof; I don't understand why Tomytec hasn't done a couple more variations by now.

I was thinking the same. I was told that TLV buses are on the way? I haven't gotten around to googling it yet. And yes, I'm ready for another tanker or two.

I am partial to Shell branding, so I still prefer the Shell tank lorry & Tomicarama, but the Idemitsu counterparts are still incredibly cool. It might've been the worst time to buy the tank lorry, but I'm glad I at least got this one back.

 

[Johnny1996]

A penny ain't so useless now is it?

 

[Spacegoat]

Don't hit me Jarrod.

I wouldn't do a thing like that.

No, never.

At least paint the holes black!

Hey, I'm just happy that it didn't come with any DIY parts.

I'm still looking out for that one. Nice purchase. 👍

 

[RCKakashi14]

I'm still looking out for that one. Nice purchase. 👍

I first saw that when I was strolling along Akihabara a few months ago. It was quite expensive, at twice the price of this one.

But when the store here unleashed a fury of Kyoshos, I rummaged through the bin and voila, found this 2002 Turbo again. And with how that store sells Kyoshos - 10 USD for road cars and 20 USD for race cars REGARDLESS of rarity - I grabbed it and made the purchase.

 

[yabiggoose]

Wish I lived near your store lol

Dude that was a steal.

Decided today that I want to display three of the better HW mainline liveries in the 3 pack I got with my first red Escort. I'm going to get another CSL to go with it, but I'm struggling to think of another classic racing livery they've put out, either recently or previously.

Any suggestions, chaps? Only veto would be for anything modern as it wouldn't fit with the older theme.

 

[RCKakashi14]

And now, I'm torn...


Both are Kyosho 1:64s.


Nissan R89C or Nissan R92CP. Both cost 20 USD each.


Or perhaps a Porsche 936 would suffice.

 

[Johnny1996]

Oh boy I can't even help with that one. I'm torn probably as much as you are.

 

[Spacegoat]

R92CP would get my vote.

Also $20? Curse you!

If there is a Carp Streamer amidst that pair, go for that. In case there isn't, just go for R89 'cause covered rear wheels (although I have a better past with the R92 because of GT4's career mode)...

But seriously, just go for the Carp either way, it's an awesome thing

Why not both?

I have a R91C and R92C I could let go of for less than that. Hungry by any chance?

2016 BMW Series 2002
Didn't know there was a Zamac recolour.

I picked up that one as it looked just as good as the BMW long card edition, but half the price.

I first spotted this at my local Asda last Friday and the sparkly green kinda caught my attention, despite not being typically what I like in a Hot Wheels. I walked by it a couple more times during the week and for the second day in a row, it was the last car on the strip. So I bought it. Maybe they'll re-stock now. Based on this purchase, I'm going to buy the Arctic Racer Fiesta that's left me curious for months. It's currently on the strip in my workplace.

eBay pic, not mine.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I wonder just how many variants they can get out of this thing.
