1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Robin]

I'm really loosing all sense of scale with these 1:64 cars! could someone put a Kyosho next to some other desk stuff just to get an idea because they really do look like they could be anything from 1:87 to 1:18!

Fresh off the press.

That M1 is a Kyosho. There's also that M2 over there.

Apart from the XB and Alfa, bit of a dud-fest.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm in for 4 of the 6. Skipping on the XB and the Camaro.

The Forza tampos ruin the look, IMO. Especially on the Ford Falcon.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. Was considering picking the XB up online but I'll probably pass.

I can't forgive such poor liveries from a tribute to a series with a fantastic livery editor.

Some mineral spirits and a Q-tip will fix that problem. Just sayin'.

That would mean opening it though! I wasn't planning on doing that if I got one.

Masking tape + spray paint might be more preferable in that case.

So I recently acquired the Heritage Real Riders Datsun 240Z and Bluebird 510 (photo below by @a6m5).




I'm digging the Bluebird. Nothing fancy about the livery but those red rims give the car a subtle pop. Can't say the same for the 240Z. I know the car (along with the rims) is an homage to the Salt Flats of Bonneville record-breaking 240Z. But on the Hot Wheel, the rear wheels throw the whole thing off and make it seem horribly unbalanced. Don't know that I'll keep it. I still don't understand why Mattel insists on larger rear tires on so many of its popular castings.

Got my hot wheels for the month. Fresh N case cars got all 19 except the blue bronco

Gotta get the edge on the competition, son! Gotta indoctrinate the kiddies to think the bigger the wheels; the meaner the ride.

I think it's a totally true vision they aimed for. From a toy producing perspective, all same-sized wheels will get boring. Example: Tomica. Oooohhhh shots fired.

I think my local Toys R Us will get these models in... They better or I'll start going mad because I've waited long enough to buy some more Premium HW cars! God, it's almost ****ing September! I bought my last 3 on Mother's Day goddammit.

Work has been good today. They updated the Matchbox and had the MX5, so I got two. One to open and one to stay carded. Such quality tampos.

 

[yabiggoose]

The MB ND MX5 is absolutely beautiful for a mainstream 1:64.

Wouldn't have bought Ignitions if they made this sooner.


Jokes. I'm glad I bought the Ignition first. Something about the Pandem's design looks weird.

I can't put a finger on it, but the casting seem off to me? And while tampos are perfect in placement, the design seems bit much, especially the headlights. Don't get me wrong, it impressed me for $1 car.

I've only seen those at my local dollar store called the Dollar Tree, and while I'm there maybe twice a month, look what I found there on the way home.

 

[CodeRedR51]

More re-hashed crap. (minus the S2k)

Got this Kyosho 930 in the mail yesterday.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Gran Turismo cars are being found at Walgreens stores. So if you still haven't picked up a set and want one, check your local stores.

Pretty nice:

Tomica Premium Mitsubishi 3000GT to me, likely "GTO" to you.

Probably one of the better premium's I've seen, even the wheels look good. 👍 Hopefully this thing stays in-stock on AmiAmi for a few more days, so I can add it to my september order.

I have Alec Wood's Switchback from the Hot Wheels Highway 35 movie. How I love that movie...

 

[Casey]

I also loved the Highway 35 movie along with the second one Accleracers. I have a few of the cars, all of them are uncarded except this one I have hanging on my wall.

Also I ordered a sealed case of the Gran Turismo Hot Wheels.

When the tracking number gives you no info for 3 weeks, and when it arrives in the mail, all I can say is: MY NINJA...

...my wallet hurts again.

Damn dat boxy rear bumper is an eyesore.

Well at least we don't have large wheels in the back.
