1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[a6m5]

Out running around, will have to get later. Haven't been on TTP since you pointed out that Datsun pickup

Wow, not much on TTP either. I just searched for 2015 Mustang? I think I saw one carded one for close to $8 shipped & this loose one for $6.49.

 

[scholesy1899]

Wow! You guys have hauled in some heavy hitters today!

To add salt in the wound, I've currently got bids for the AirCooled Bug and Porker for £11.50 each. You guys have just got the pegs filled for $3.50.

Funny enough this sort of aligns with my FB group organising a mass messenger drop to MATTEL (US) in the week. We were getting stock replies but UK FB doesn't even reply much and even more generic.

We're not gonna smash the system but it was cathartic at least, with this years car culture series all being fantastic, this one another bomb, it's getting a little beyond the pail for us here in Blighty. Especially as they're Motorsport inspired.

Anyway, here's my habitual haul shots.

Another Cobra and some other bits, then what I got from opening the first F case I've seen (love my ASDA lady she was on holiday when the dump bin dropped, so..timing), that was at 11:00 last night, so that case is done for me, except if I see a gold NSX.
Stuff on left is mine (all I want from the case) the rest is the missus'sssss.
I've created a monster, hot trucks now. So...timing

New Kyoshos to watch out for:

New Kyoshos to watch out for:

And I was wondering if they were going to stop manufacturing 1/64s! Good to know they are back. 👍

BTW, is there any news regarding the TLV Mazda racecar (presumably the 787B)? I'm still waiting for it.

Just that original teaser's all I've seen.

Might be interested in the Honda S660! Looks good.

Jada seems to be bringing more Japanese cars to their lineup. Not sure if you guys saw the Lamley post. They're making a Toyota FT-1!

Jada uses "1:64" very loosely. Hopefully those wheels fill out those fenders more than the prototype.

True, they were never quite the right size. Hope the FT-1 is at least acceptable in quality.

I doubt that they are even a "big" 1/64. They call them that, but man, they are big & bulky!

As for that prototype, I actually like the balance between the wheels & body.

Looking forward to this...

Few cars I got on eBay came in today.

I've always been a fan of Purple Passion ever since I first saw it in the Hot Wheels Turbo Racing game. Also got two CSI Greenlights.

My early days as a collector, I was big on Purple Passion.... Woodie.

I still like it.

Maybe I'll actually find these in stores. rofl

New cars from today and finally those three I got last week or so. The Luv and Star Trek car are going for a custom, everything else is for keeps.

Spoiler

EDIT: Just now discovered a paint chip in the 88, so I guess I'll make the best out of it and turn it into a custom raced version.

Hack the front right corner off and make it into a custom of Dale's car from Daytona yesterday.

Why can't that be a regular release? Love the silver.

Looks like I'll have to add race day to my collection of car culture cars when it comes.

 

[CodeRedR51]

This might be worth picking up. Will have to see it in person.

Well I do want to add panel damage to it.

Made my monthly visit to Walmart, there's still only stuff from December. Woot- didn't have to spend a dollar! Boo- not a single find.

Ayyy I don't have to report you now

I like compact rectangular convertibles. Great buy!

The Katayama 510 has problems, but all the other TLV Bluebirds are, yes, awesome.

The Katayama 510 has problems

Tell me more. Plz.

 

[GroupB]

Tell me more. Plz.

JDM 510s had all sorts of decorative trim panels between the taillights, differing between years and trim levels.

US cars just had a blank space where it would have been.

Because all their JDM castings are designed to accept the trim panel, TLV was forced to install one, painting it body color to approximate the correct look. However, if you know your 510s, it doesn't quite look right.

That boy is way too big to be held like that, but I totally see what you are saying. 👍 Does the mom have 7 foot wingspan, or is this some kind of optical illusion?

If he's still around, that boy is pushing 60.
