1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[AOS-]

May be worth pointing out all that extra vertical white stuff on the matchbox is probably there to accommodate for the large tires. With previous releases, it would seem when the base piece is black, it stands out a lot less.

July release Tomytec LV-N153a, b Nissan GT-R Nismo 2017

@Niku Driver HC that Simca is sublime. No but really it looks awesome.

 

[Spacegoat]

@a6m5. If you do decide to go for one of those GT-R's. You should definitely go for the black one, because look, it's got the sparkly paint finish that you love so much!

 

[GroupB]

I don't really want the R35s, but I pre-ordered anyway because they will no doubt be far more expensive later if I ever change my mind.

 

[a6m5]

Got my mail-in Datsun 510 today. Which is good, because the tracking number they gave me was no good and I was about to contact them about it.

I mailed it from the automated kiosk at the post office. It came back postage due. If they run out of the 510, I sure I hope can grow up to be a Godzilla, so I'll be able to stomp on Mattel.

I think it's just dusty.

Trudat. I preordered the orange one & called it good. White or black aren't doing much for me right now.

Actually looking at it again, I think the white one might be the worse of the two in the sparkly paint department.

I sent my card backs in a small bubble envelope via first class mail. That Datsun cost me like $30 all-in.

I sure hope orange paint looks better than those.

I sent in forty, so maybe it was too bulky. I thought I selected bubble/padded envelope or something like that, but it still came back. I was like half-sleep though, so maybe it was me.

Edit: Spark 1/64 - Check this out, especially @R1600Turbo Look for the 1/64 at the lower part of the page**

I will jump on these models as soon as they become available. It will save me so much money to buy Le Mans winners and other cars in this smaller scale. I can't shell out $90+ for a 1:43 all the time. This is a game-changer! I saw them on the Lamley Blog, and they look amazing. If I could buy all of them, I would.

Well I wouldn't disagree with you if you called it sublime, but fair enough. 👍
It's certainly cool that so many non-Europeans dig this French lime box, makes me feel proud of my choice of cars. Seems like I'll certainly pay more attention to 1/64 Norevs from now on...

 

[AOS-]

Nice to see Spark moving forward with more 1/64s. I've still got the Delta wing from before. Here's hoping they will make some other LeMans, as the 956s are quite tempting.

If I could buy all of them, I would.

You totally could

You totally would

You know you should

 

[CodeRedR51]

Missed that tag since you don't get a notification when it's done in an edit, but I will pre-order those when I get home tonight.

Several hours later:

PLEASE no chrome lip in the final.

PLEASE no chrome lip in the final.

Highly doubt it will.

Edit: Thanks to a6m5 and AmiAmi for their "no payment until it's in stock" pre-orders, I will have the #21, #23 Nissans, the Delta Wing, the #18 Porsche, #2 Audi, and the #8 Toyota on the way in June.

 

[a6m5]

On the way home just now:

Finally!!

Lots of fantasy cars for my denephews, black Beatle race car thingie & one of the zamac Daytona Charger's for me.

I'm not that into race cars, but these look very cool. I ended up going for the classic Porsche(blue stripe one), couple of Nissans(red, also red/white/blue).

Spacedawg showed me that. What was it, 2014? You pioneer you.

Oops. Are they still up? Last night, I was putting them in the virtual basket & checking out like they were the last remaining preorder.

Several hours later:

Looks promising. 👍

Sweet. 👍

Tomytec releasing a Tomy Mall version!

Tomy Mall Original TLV Nissan GT-R Nismo 2017 Dark Matte Gray

 

[RCKakashi14]

What I found, but passed on them:

1200 PHP (or 24 USD) each.

I'll wait for the other items to arrive at the store next week.

 

[a6m5]

24 USD

That is bit high. Kyosho?

 

[RCKakashi14]

That is bit high. Kyosho?

Yep. And the first time I saw them either.

 

[AOS-]

I've seen those on eBay many times. Never did strike a fancy considering I already had the CM's.

PLEASE no chrome lip in the final.

Just paint it.


@aShinjude Ya 2014. I don't recall being the only one who invested in it. Was it @Jarude?

 

[Spacegoat]

Was it @Jarude?

Jarude sounds like I should be a rapper.

Oh and no, it wasn't me.

Tomica BMW i8.

Tomica versus Norev:

 

[yabiggoose]

I actually prefer the Tomica tbh.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

It's definitely a tough choice between the two; Norev's i8 pays attention to the smaller details like the badges, but Tomica's has better paint quality and proportions (sits lower and wider than Norev's rendition, looks more like a proper sports car)... And Norev uses plastic parts for both the headlights and taillights whereas Tomica doesn't really care about that and adds both as painted areas.

The Tomica is actually wider than most of Greenlight's models. It does look proper given the fact that the i8 is a low-slung hybrid sports car...

Kyosho news

16 Directions is apparently now in charge of the online distribution of Kyosho. Wonder if that means Circle K is out.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Kyosho news

I've posted that before, but still that S660 grabs my attention.

 

[AOS-]

I've posted that before.

And like that AOS has been banished from the HW thread.
