1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Yeah, I should have quoted where you mentioned that US international shipping is expensive regardless of a forwarding service. 👍

Dang son. US shipping used to be cheaper for me than domestic shipping.

Probably wasting my time but anyone on here interested in the 1/64 Kyosho Bentley Continental GT3?

 

[a6m5]

Does @CLowndes888 have one? I know @Spacedog got his. I have one, it's sweet.

 

[Spacegoat]

it's sweet.

Extremely.

It was a very difficult decision to leave the Bentley out of my desert island top ten list.

 

[yabiggoose]

What's the best way to sell some Kyoshos? Just eBay? Considering I live in Australia.

 

[AOS-]

You could privately sell some to us, or sell it on TTP (fees probably cost less than eBay).

Or you could sell it on eBay AU if you really need them gone.

 

[yabiggoose]

I can't really ask full $$$ off someone on here though.
Plus you'd probably all call what I have common crap.

 

[AOS-]

What's the point of backing down if you wanted to bring up items to offer in the first place? It's true that you'd feel bad for asking full amounts from GTPers, but at least you're selling to people who you are more than likely to trust over a stranger on eBay.

Start off by providing us a list (optionally with a photo) of what you want to offer and let any of us PM you to discuss anything further. You already got 2 local dudes who can buy from you.

If you got leftovers, you could consider putting them up on eBay afterwards.

The Dart's rims look a bit iffy for me, but bar that the set is looking pretty good. Opening hoods and rubber tires are good calling points, especially with the black Galaxy. That looks wonderfully badass...

 

[a6m5]

From the very beginning, Galaxie. I can't wait.

That really looks like a Thunderbolt with the hood scoop and the rims. The only cosmetic difference is that the Thunderbolt used the two inner headlights as air intakes. I have an Auto World 1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL that looks just like that except mine has the stock hood and stock rims. Same color and everything though. Must be from an earlier release.

No I don't have one, but I sure want to buy one! Make me an offer @yabiggoose.

Probably like this?

One of the first cars I ever posted on my blog.

Kyosho isn't always a win for me, but I thought this one was perfect. 👍

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

@a6m5 Yes sir, exactly like that one. 👍 If my memory serves me, I overpaid ($8.99) for that particular diecast at Hobby Lobby but I really like the car so I was willing to pay the few extra dollars that HL was charging as opposed to say Walmart or Meijer's which doesn't have a very good selection of Auto Worlds.

In my neck of the woods, fortunately, it's the other way around. I have poor selection of GreenLight & absolutely horrible selection of premium cars from Hot Wheels(Pop Culture, Japan Historics, etc.), but Auto World we seem to get decent shipment, even if sometimes, they come in months after we were supposed to get them. I hope the trend continues for these new releases. Auto World casting & detailing are top notch!

My workplace is slowly updating their Majorette coverage. Now I have the Twingo and Adam, I can't wait to see the Cactus. Is it their mainline or the slightly Premium range with opening parts?

Premium range. 👍 I'm on the lookout for that myself. Bought the CR-Z, Mercedes GT and GTR a while ago, but need the Cactus and Alfa Romeo.

Got this Kyosho DR30 Skyline today, love the wheels on it but I do wish it had the rs turbo writing on the side.

Those wheels do look sweet and your right, it does need the writing on the side. Nice purchase though. 👍

Restrained myself from buying 1/43's from a vendor at Lime Rock. Ended up getting these two instead.

I've never seen the yellow recolor of the Vehicross!

Man that yellow Vehicross! Just like the one I have a long time ago. I got it after playing too much TD Off Road 3 on the PC in the 2000s. I had to get one, great cast. :tup:

BTW, today I snagged the GT Pagani Hyura, Charger SRT Hellcat, and the classic TV series Batman Lincoln Futurama car from Walgreens today.
Great cars, especially the Hyura from GT6!

I also have many more cars between the months from the New Ford GT 2017, P1, Shelby GT350, DC2 Integra Type R, Hellcat Chargers & Challengers, Aston Martin DB10 from 007 Spectere, Urban Outlaw 356 Porsche, and the Simpsons family car!

Still looking for the S13 180/240SX Fastback. No luck . Must be tricky to find Silvias for me and they are my favorites...... Strange isn't it?

 

[a6m5]

Where have you been Phil?

 

[yabiggoose]

Found 4 Greenlight green machines on the pegs at the one (Aussie) Toys R Us the other day.

Twas a good day. Never seen one in person til then. And that was without opening boxes.

I'm starting to see the black recolor in multi-packs. Singles should be in the last 2016 case.

 

[a6m5]

My apologies to @Apok @GroupB & @AHMEDFINK for the delay.

Took me long enough, but "Our First TLV" Part 2 is finally finished!! I hope everybody check it out. It's a sequel to my blog feature on hot wheels/minicar collectors' stories about their first Tomica Limited Vintage casting.

Well, there's is some luck in findung the elsusive S13 fastback. Now I'll will watch out for both multi and single packs. Wish me luck!

Where have you been Phil?
