1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[VXR]

I picked up a Matchbox Formula 1 Footwork from circa 1993 on eBay earlier for £4.50 and still in the packaging. They're often over a tenner when I've looked before, so it was very easy to pull the trigger.

I used to be very fond of them back in the day. I had two different Williams ones and the GoodYear Eagle tyres were always a great touch.

The two Tomica premiums I ordered came today.

I'll see if I can get some photos tomorrow.

Thought about getting couple of cars at Toys R Us + that Star Wars Ford Transit Van that @yabiggoose posted the other day. It was beautiful, without Star Wars art on the side, I'd have bought it..... but when it scanned at $4.99 on price check, I put everything back & continued on home. $3.49 like Kroger's, I think I'd still have bought it. Really neat van.

Um, I posted the photo of Star Wars Transit Van...

I think commodoreben moved plus life got in the way. I remember a lot of apathy in his last posts. Hope he's okay.

Would you or @CLowndes888 be interested in a (no cost to you) small mystery diecast package? Probably won't get til mid January. I'm trying to do something festive lol.

Sadly, I don't think mum will want me to give you my address...

Hopefully so. 👍

That's extremely kind of you mate. But you should send it to CLowndes888 (if he's allowed). I've kind on gone a little cold on collecting in recent times. Can't even remember the last time I went out looking for any.

Um, I posted the photo of Star Wars Transit Van...

a6 gets confused sometimes.

Hard to tell you people apart all upside down, etc.

Thinking about collecting all of the F&F cars that have been released so far (minus duplicates). Anyone have any cars they want to donate to the cause?

That's crazy. I like you, but you crazy.

There aren't that many cars, are there?

Tomica Honda NSX:

First of all, while I'm not the biggest fan of mainline Tomicas, this one looks really good! Your comparison photos are even better. Any chance you let me use it on my blog?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ignoring all the duplicates, probably not.

 

[a6m5]

Ignoring all the duplicates, probably not.

See, you don't need any help. Hardest one's probably the WRX you found the other day.

How many sets have been released so far? 4? 5?

I have no clue. I counted maybe three, but I barely pay attention.

 

[CodeRedR51]

According to the Hot Wheels wiki (if it's accurate) there have been 4 so far.

 

[a6m5]

On my rare evening run(for Mexican takeout & Japanese grocery lol):

I was hoping for Car Culture Gassers, 510 or new MBX Skyline, but for $3.84(sale) not a bad pickup.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Some more Kyosho cars:

 

[yabiggoose]

@CLowndes888 @Spacegoat fair enough lol. Been trying to give away heaps of stuff this week (not just diecast) and no takers lol.

 

[GTracer38]

Oh mate are you rural? That sucks haha.

Yeah. Not too rural but not far off it.

Egad the F1 GTR is making a return....

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Well this week, I bought these. The Forza ones were at Walmart and the regular hw were at a Giant (a type of supermarket).

These are the first two Tomica models that I've ever bought.

Just saw this on Instagram. Is this not the Bone Shaker from 2011 I believe it was that had a Super TH counterpart?

 

[CodeRedR51]

@a6m5 did you pick one of these up?

I totally spaced it(sold out). Prices were too high on eBay, but I found one loose on TTP.

Not really interested in buying one at the moment, was just curious.

I was so frustrated, because I didn't even remember about this panel until something like 30 minutes after sale went public, already sold out. I'm a fan of the Chevy Panel, but this is the first GMC Panel I saw that stores anything in the back. I was bit excited for that.

P.S. That loose one, that's the one I bought.

Nice choices for your first two. 👍 I can't comment on the Skyline but the GTO is one of the best Tomica Premium's so far.

Not bad. At least they don't have offroad tires!

That was my first Tomica from (almost) 4 years ago.
