1/64 Model Collectors Thread

One week after it was received in L.A., I ...... still don't got it.

That's just plain ridiculous. How does it go from Japan to L.A within one day and then sits in L.A for a week?

Tracking never seems to work for me on the rare occasions I go for postage with tracking. Probably for the best anyway.

I probably had like ten cars myself at the start. I have few more now.

Just a couple more.

I have two extra 934.5s because they're abundant here and several colours of Sharpies. I smell some ropey custom liveries!

 

[yabiggoose]

Haven't found a 934.5 yet

 

[MedigoFlame]

Back in the US. This was my last purchase in Vietnam.

Edit: I remember Lamley Group posting something about Majorette making an announcement on May 1st. Any updates on that?

So my friend was at a grocery store digging through a wire bin with a bunch of HWs in it. He found a $TH sticking out at the very bottom and because he had at least two hours to kill while waiting for a transmission swap to be done on his car at the shop across the road, he started digging through the cars to get to the $TH. He finally got to the car and took every possible precaution to avoid damaging any of the cars since the hooks on the cards can catch the bin. As he was bringing the car from the bin to his basket, someone he knew said hi to him and my friend got distracted, and ended up hooking the card on the bin and tearing it off.

I wasn't with him, so this is all word of mouth, and I couldn't stop laughing despite the slight pain of losing a great condition carded $TH.

Oops.

Tracking is reliable for me, but yeah, L.A.

Just a couple more.

Exactly.

Saw them for the first time yesterday.

I have like 3-4 loose extras of the Porsche from when I bought cars I needed for the Toyota Pickup mail-in.

 

[a6m5]

It's rather easy to get this one...

Or you can just match up the printed number on the front with the number of the car on the back.

Jason, maybe the joke's on us. I think I picked up the right one, but I was just at the Walmart & none of them have stamped numbers anymore!

Mine did.

 

[a6m5]

Mine did.

When I found the golden(or turd yellowish brown or whatever...) Batmobile, it also did. Since I had already found the Batmobile, I didn't bother looking at the new box they received after that batch. These new one's I finally looked at today, no numbers on any of them. Maybe isolated case, maybe intended for Filipino market.

Thankfully, window was large enough I was able to spy number "5" on the car. Got on GTPlanet on my phone to see Kakashi's picture & called it a match.

 

[yabiggoose]

Yeah I found the Furai late last year as posted in this thread and it had the number system.

 

[a6m5]

Guys, I might have the error Furai mystery model. Tomorrow, I shall go back & buy the whole error batch.

Went to walmart today and found most of the Halo Hot Wheel's except for the scorpion tank.

 

[yabiggoose]

My gf got the whole lot in one go at a shop down here. We were lucky to find them.

Might try to find the Warthog...

What I bought today: Another AUTOart 1:64

Love the color, but this was made back in the days when AUTOart was new to the 1:64 game.

Headlight and Taillight tampos? So not AUTOart

They are tampos!?

 

[RCKakashi14]

They are tampos!?

Yep. Even the early Kyosho 1:64s will laugh.

 

[a6m5]

Yep. Even the early Kyosho 1:64s will laugh.

I'm really looking forward to your pics, for different reasons than usual.

 

[RCKakashi14]

No doubt the AUTOart mold is better than those two Kyoshos, but plastic tires along with headlights and tail lights as tampos are deal breakers.

 

[a6m5]

I don't think those tampos are horrible, but yeah, nearly impossible to compete with resin/plastic lights IMO. Side mirrors could've been executed lot better, too. Still, I like all three of those. Very nice photos! 👍

 

[yabiggoose]

The headlights aren't great but the tailights are pretty good imo.

Speaking of AutoArt, I found a Ford GT with yellow and black stripes in one of my former HW car drawers. I think my brother purchased it when we went to Sandown once, but didn't want to keep it (either that or I purchased it for him and he didn't like it). I was surprised to find it undamaged and in the original box. I've unscrewed it and put it in my cabinet. Will post pics when I get the chance.

Think of it as a high-end Hot Wheels

New TLV arrived in the mail today!





Looking very nice.

 

[shellac10]

@Apok , that is a beautiful Porsche. I received it earlier this week and stared at it for a long while.

I've been bit by the TLV bug. Currently have 7 and looking to add a few more!

@Apok , that is a beautiful Porsche.

And a beautiful white backdrop.


Except his camera is slanted.

Tomica Kanagawa Chuo Kotsu Original Mitsubishi Fuso Areo Star

Highly detailed. Really nice.

Speaking of tampos, I guess you weren't the only one complaining about the headlights on the Auto World Mustang because they made some changes.

I am pretty sure it was actually the backdrop that was slanted.
Just pretend that it's a featureless white hill or something.

(I will admit that I was in a bit of a rush to take the pictures though)
