1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Had no hesitation at $20 a car. 👍

Yeah, I was surprised that they were so cheap. Never actually used Biante's site before, certainly seems like it'd be a hell of a lot better than going through ebay.

much smaller than 1:64 Hot Wheels Twin Mill something (not sure if 1, 2 or 3) that's only half the length of my pinky finger.

I can't believe you actually got it. I saw it at my local Toys R Us couple of weeks ago, but I took some pictures of it & call it good. They are tiny! Vega Wagon looks flawless. 👍

When I browsed eBay, I think most of their models were along the lines of $40+ shipped, per car.

But some of them like the F type had T case for the case code

Must be for something else, cases stop at P.

That TLV rollback was sold out at Japan Boster the second the pre-order page went live a few weeks ago. Then today I was informed that as a valued customer I have the chance to add it to my order.

Less than a day old and already scalper prices are the baseline:

That is nuts. Already looking forward to the LV-N144b.

Crappiest one of the four I grabbed recently.

Yeah, I recall you mentioning that when you put the pics of mine on your blog.

Good thing I posted that link to their site, eh? I'll happily accept your lime green TLV Gemini as thank you. J/k

I was hoping for the Fast and Furious dump bin today, but I found a somewhat new dump bin at once place the the ugly super at another. I'll admit, I bought eight of the Porsches.

Wonder how much you can profit for that 16 Angels should you list that.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Only cars I'm missing are the white Porsche and the green veneno for the g case.

I couldn't resist. Both on the mini thingy whatever Twin Mill and Vega.

Eh, maybe $15-20.

It's the best, Jarrod. I'm so sorry that you don't have that. It's the best.

*Checks what I paid*

$15.49 on a damaged card(really not bad).

Love the black Gemini but man, that colour is just too cool. 👍

 

[domalorite]

That is nuts. Already looking forward to the LV-N144b.

I noticed the 'a' suffix too. Waiting patiently for the sparkly black version.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

The Vega did. The other two are indeed staying in their plastic penitentiary because I have no sympathy and they must suffer.

"Suffer"... Ha, that's the tamest kind of suffering I've ever seen. It's so tame one might say it actually reverts back to kindness!

Could we see some close-ups of the One-and-a-half Mill at least, if you don't mind me asking? I have seen some microscopic scale models in my life, but never one with a Hot Wheels badge...

I wish they had kept the livery from the red one and used the yellow and blue that way. Hopefully a 787b inspired one comes along. I would dig that.

 

[domalorite]

Got some detailed shots of that haula haula auto safety loader truck? I'm interested to see the smaller parts on the sides and undercarriage.

Funny thing is, I did mean to take one and post it but I got distracted and never did.



I also have an ultra mini sprint:

Johnny, my boy, eyes on the prize! The Vega may be nifty, but it's not the only nifty vehicle at hand here... But thanks for sharing one more pic, much appreciated. 👍

Also, that Mini Sprint is the cutest little giant winged thing...

Extra sparkly for @a6m5, please. He loves his TLV's like that.

 

[AOS-]

@domalaborite Thanks for the pics dude. Definitely not shabby!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I do like this cutlass that I got yesterday

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hopefully Walmart gets some new cars while this is happening. Don't really feel like buying months old peg warmers.

I think I picked up 12 qualifying cars on the way home Friday? I then remembered about this, so I saved the receipt. Of course, you have to uncard them & mail the cards in, too. I may have to actually drive out to Walmart out of town to get more cars. Mini-hunt.

Really digging this one. Are you opening it?

Honestly, I would pass on the truck if they put on the sparkles.

I noticed the 'a' suffix too. Waiting patiently for the sparkly black version.

Those suffixes are on all models. "LV-", then number for the specific casting I think?(maybe @GroupB could chime in), or letter "N" for the "Neo" line. Suffix starts at letter "a", then b, c & on for the variants.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Yeah I might open my cars tonight. @a6m5

 

[Spacegoat]

Honestly I don't mind their metallic paint but if it ends up looking anything like the purple VGT, I'd pass too.

The LV-N does indicates Neo line.

I believe the letter at the end indicates different colour/decal for a particular casting (the number designation).

I read on an alternative facts website that the 'b' suffix means sparkly black.

No problem. It's definitely one of those little oddball things that come along every now and again.
