1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Hope I can find the A-team van & K.I.T.T.

Off-road series looks cool too, probably get a few of 'em (If I can even find a store that stocks them.)

I'm curious when those Monster Jam 'Then & Now' trucks are coming out, I posted them a month or two back & haven't really heard much of them since.

Is the truck at the bottom of my post the same series you are referring to?(13/80 Donkey Kong)

I'm not into monster truck, but I wouldn't mind getting the original Bigfoot, and/or Grave Digger.

 

[Antonisbob]

I'm not %100 on this, but I think it they be all be two-packs, with the original & the current-gen truck.

This is the only real picture I can find so far. I hear they're coming out this summer? Such a long wait.

As for Donkey Kong, that truck has been around since 2007!? These 'new' trucks are going to be from the '80s, I'd love Bigfoot but Chandler doesn't race any of his trucks on Monster Jam, so I think that's out of the question

 

[a6m5]

Damn shame. Thanks for the info. 👍

 

[Cano]

Everyone's got KITT in here already, and over here we're two code boxes behind, got dammit.

also, that off-road series looks promising. Of course it's not gonne come here officially, so E-Bay.

[AOS-]

since I sold mine to a friend who's obsessed with Aussie Fords. Surprised that was the only one I've managed to find. >_<

There's a handful here.

Hope I can find the A-team van..

There's a few here, want me to grab you one?

 

[Cano]

ARGH I freaking want that Grand National.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Been finding nothing but Challengers, Pacers, and Stingray concepts for the Boulevard hot wheels. :/ Looking for the Grand National and Delorean. Are they worth the extra price? Tempted, but sort of poor.

 

[photonrider]

Somebody get me that KITT before I . . . Grrrrrr.
I'm looking for the Aurora, too, and coming up absolutely borealis. As for the Walmart pegs - I've got some store pics - hope to drop by later and upload.

Tom_Servo - great pics as usual. Still using the iPhone?

I'm starting to spend a little too loosely.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ah but the specialty cars are so worth it. Metal base + rubber tires = awesome.

Although I don't understand why some are $3.50 and others are $5.

 

[a6m5]

I passed on the Boulevard version of Grand National, because it looked awkward compared to the standard version I had:

I've changed my mind now though. Now I want, if only for the bragging rights, the car's just so damn popular.

P.S. What's the best(most reliable) image hosting site? Image Shack upload can be a pain in the butt sometimes.

P.P.S. Nice Cuda AOS. 👍 I got one over the weekend, I want one more so I can open it.

 

[Diego440]

I've recently started using imgur.com and it works so much better. By the by, you can remove the hood on that Grand National

That last one, I uploaded it with photobucket. ImageShack failed like twenty times straight.

I figured the hood would open on Grand National, but are you saying it can be removed completely?

 

[Cano]

flat gray GN

that isn't the "standard" release, it's this one from 2008, which, ssurprise, is also black.

Yes, you take off the entire front end to reveal a pretty damn decently made turbo engine setup. TAKE.THEM.OUTTA.CARDS people.

 

[a6m5]

Touche, Cano. Touche.

Black one looks pretty slick. Thanks for the pic. 👍

Man I should have grabbed the last GN there were 2 of them but to expensive maybe next time , and yes ill open mine up and post some pics.

Again, if you don't care about the value, open away.

Best solution: Buy 2 open 1.

I was going to buy 2 but I didnt have lots of money on me , dam me
Anyways im going to buy the second one after school and I will open the one I have tommorow and post the pics. Goodnight everyone

 

[CodeRedR51]

It really depends on what kind of collector you are. Some just like to purchase the cars, open them and admire them. (aka play with toys ) I will call them "Cano's".

Then you have people that collect for the investment, and for fun. If I want to open a car, I'll buy more than one. But I have to keep one in the package simply for future value sakes. A car in the package will always be worth more than one that is not. If you're in it for the investment, there's only one way to go.

I do exactly wat you do. I buy 2 or more cars and open 1.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

I knew about the tricked out steering wheel thing, but dc's right, there was more:

I didn't even notice the color screens until I just cracked one open out of package. Stunning model, proportionately perfect!

Edit: I forgot to say, those A-Team pics rule. 👍

I might want this one, but I'm not sure yet........ Thank you for the heads up either way. 👍

I gotta find K.I.T.T soon and when I do I'm buying four of them. One open, modify one as K.A.R.R, Pursuit mode K.I.T.T and the last one for collectors value. 👍

EDIT:

@AOS: You have alot of the Falcons at your local stores? If you can, look out for some of these for me when you get a chance:

Mazda RX7 SA22C

Ford Falcon

911 GT2

Lamborghini Avaenador

Lamborghini Gallardo Superlegga

K.I.T.T

Camaro ZL1

Mustang 302 Laguna Seca

Dodge Cornet RT Super Bee

Sounds like me alright.

First off, are you actually going to pay me back for grabbing you some of these? Secondly, I get them here for $1.49 per car...

As for what's available according to your list:


Mazda RX7 SA22C None.
Ford FalconNone at the moment.
911 GT2 <- in Red?
Lamborghini Aventador; damn your spelling is awful.
Lamborghini Gallardo Superlegga <-Only see them in white now.
K.I.T.T None here.
Camaro ZL1
Mustang 302 Laguna Seca <-In Black?
Dodge Cornet RT Super Bee <- In Orange?
Hunydai Genesis Coupe These were all the rage... last year.
Datsun Bluebird 510 <- in Red?
Nissan Skyline 2000GT Kenmeri KPGC110 Never had it here.
Ken Block Fiesta <- In Black?
Caterham R500 <- Matchbox? I've seen a few yellows.
Holden Marloo Ute

A $1.49 per car?! I thought they were a dollar!


Well, what type of cars are you looking for in exchange for? In my area there's a lot of 2011 still on the shelves in the stores and since my parents car is down, I can't look around in different stores.

But I'll find a solution.

Fangula is such a funky name
