1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Zychotic1]

I don't have the fuguZ yet...
and its not the round-ness that is my issue... but the fact that on the "custom fairlady Z" or the "good" z as you guys call it... they dropped the center section of the hood and bowed in the entire fender, giving the nose more of a Lotus Europa look, that in reality couldnt be acheived on these cars without an SR(or other 4 banger swap) due to the fact that the power bulge was added to the hood to clear the valve cover wich really does only sit 1/2" below the highest point of the feders...

/ end rant... I'll try not to do it again

About a year and a half ago I said, "You know what, I'm not 100% thrilled with those 911s, but I'm gonna get it done while they're still reasonable."

I've made some good investment decisions with the Hot Wheels...... Not so much with the TLVs.

 

[Spacegoat]

WTF.

Never heard it before now.

Best part is up front, how it says "Make America Great Again" on the hood in Japanese.

I love Japanese cars. No one loves Japanese cars as much as me. They've made some great cars. Really fantastic cars.

I'll give you five upside down dollars for your green Gemini...

For a second, I thought the President of the United States replied to my post. Fantastic. Fantastic.

Maybe after you make the value of Australian dollar great again.

Another batch of AUTOart 1:64s on consignment:

20 USD each, though...

Worth it, IMO, along with the Minichamps64s. Highly impressed with the few I have.

Well, as a Porsche fan, I'll definitely gun for the 993 coupe.

 

[VXR]

Speaking of Porsche. Today's haul has been fruitful.

The NSX paint isn't very good, but it was the only one there. I wish I'd collected the M4 from the start, as it's cool how they're using the factory paint colours for each release so far.

Amazing collection! I'm assuming you ordered the blue 911s and 50th anniversary TLV Porsches?

@VXR , nice pick up on that Porsche 934.5. I was able to get my hands on it and I think it is very well done for a $1 toy.

 

[GroupB]

Yeah, for basically the same reasons

Until they decide to start adding goofy stripes and wacko flame decals, because in the Mattel HQ, there are only 3 colours in the rainbow to choose from for plain bodies.

Went to walmart and found the Fast and Furious cars.

Didn't get the Corvette cause I already have the mainline one.

 

[RCKakashi14]

New Kyosho Hondas:

To be released on July 25 in Japan. Preorders in Good Smile Shop started yesterday.

 

[AOS-]

YES!



Wait. That's it?

Damn Kyosho. You saving me money this year!

 

[Spacegoat]

Blue NSX and yellow S660 look really sweet.

 

[RCKakashi14]

YES!



Wait. That's it?

Damn Kyosho. You saving me money this year!

Then they will troll you by releasing the 2017 GT-R set and some other boxsets. Who knows?

 

[a6m5]

Had to work out of town today. Hit the Walmart in the area & I must say, they pwn my Walmart. Also swung by the post office on the way home & picked up the White Album Hiway Haulers I got from TTP. My god they are beautiful. *angels chorus*

From the Walmart, got those two Auto World cars. Also finally changed my mind & picked up the red/white/blue Charger, which I passed on multiple times before, but it's actually pretty cool, isn't it?

I was also SO happy to get this Ghost Busters car. My de nephew 2's been crying how de nephew 1 got all other Ghostbusters cars. He'll be happy. This Walmart also had these Batman series cars($1)? Never seen them before. I looked on the back of the card, they showed that classic TV series Batmobile, had 10 of everything, but except that. Not sure why all these classic Batmobiles are disappearing, but they seem to be the hot commodity now. I have just one carded, so I was hoping to find another. Damn it. The end.

New Kyosho Hondas:

I'd buy the red NSX, but I already preordered the Bugzees model, right @AOS- ? XD

Edit: Just saw this on eBay. You guys need one of these!(I have one in my favorite color already)

Tomica Premium Mitsubishi Lancer Evo III confirmed:

 

[RCKakashi14]

Pardon for the double post, but:

Someone leaked the photos of the Tomica Premium R33 GT-R.

It does have the Nismo R-Tune kit after all.

 

[a6m5]

R33 looks pretty good. Tomica is a weird company. Producing minicars in three grades(basic mainline/premium/TLV).

 

[Spacegoat]

Edit: Just saw this on eBay. You guys need one of these!

I've already got the absolute bestest TL RX-7, tho.

(I have one in my favorite color already)

Looks better in green you have, I reckon.

Cool scores too, like the look of those Auto World's. 👍

Tomica Premium Mitsubishi Lancer Evo III confirmed:

Sweet! 👍

 

[RCKakashi14]

But...


...here's hoping UCC releases another set of 1:64s. I had an epic timing when I was in Japan last year just in time when the Mercedes set was released.

I like stock, man(no, I didn't even have to click on the link lol). I do think most would prefer the race car, but I like the vintage stock look.

Looks better in green you have, I reckon.

That yellow looks so neat, I really want it. If I wasn't trying to downsize my collection, I'd be all over it.

Cool scores too, like the look of those Auto World's. 👍

Thanks!

I fell victim to this April Fool's day joke:

I felt like a total dunce when I commented on that photo and then saw his response:

Skipping the translation, this is how he did it based on the photos:

@Shinjude Baby don't hurt me. No more.

Those NSXs aren't coming! Wahhhhhhhhhhh

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'd buy it.

 

[shellac10]

Thinking of pre-ordering the TLV Mazda Cosmo Sport (since I'm already in too deep with three incoming TLVs). Anyone else jumping on that one?

 

[AOS-]

I suppose you should, since the Kyosho looks like this:

 

[a6m5]

I'm not a fan of the car or anything, but I did preorder one. Kyosho doens't look bad, considering(probably fraction of how much TLV cost).

I fell victim to this April Fool's day joke:

That's a good one.

I did my own just little while ago, but it was a last minute thing with a pedestrian effort & creativity.

Hot Wheels 7-Eleven Giveaway

@Shinjude Baby don't hurt me. No more.

Those NSXs aren't coming! Wahhhhhhhhhhh

Remember I told you that it wouldn't be delayed. Probably like a year ago? I'm trustworthy.

I'd buy it.

Good one, but I doubt that they could make that for $6 or whatever.
