1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Johnny1996]

That is so awesome Johnny. Can I show your pics on my blog? I've never gotten around to shopping for one, but I am a fan of those things, too. Good job completing the set! 👍

Thank you. And go for it if you want.

Jarrod calls me the Japanese Larry Bird, but I don't think that's my real name.

Your real name is Shiro, right?

Today was a huge success simply because I got a trailer. I'll explain.

That's awesome! What a lucky find. 👍

 

[Johnny1996]

That's awesome! What a lucky find. 👍

Definitely. Every now and again I'll have lucky finds. Sometimes it's the price alone when the item itself isn't really all that special such as a $60 when new 1:24 car costing me only $10 when it was still new, other times it's like today when I find something I've been looking for for a long time, etc. Only problem is now that I found the trailer I've probably used up my good luck for the remainder of this month into next.

Some comparison shots for today:


First, here's a solo model photo of the R33 GT-R Autech sedan made by Kyosho three years ago. But I will post it for the purposes of comparison to the TLV version. Feel free to compare and contrast.

And Ferrari 458 vs 488:

Wow. This is some really good stuff.

 

[Spacegoat]

Makes me wonder if they'll bring out another version of Dale's RV from The Walking Dead, down the track, with a 1/64 figure of Dale holding binoculars and a rifle.

@a6m5. So close!

I swear we joked about them releasing another version of the RV with the folding chairs and umbrella, once? I didn't think they'd actually do it.

Also, I going to need this to go with the Family Truckster from the first movie.

Yeah, more than likely.

@a6m5. So close!

I actually just received the regular version in the mail. I'm glad they didn't go with Dale & his rifle, because I'd been pretty jealous if they did.

 

[RCKakashi14]

THAT PORSCHE IS LOVELY.


And some more Tomica news:

Two new Premiums: Lamborghini Jota SVR, and Subaru WRX STI NBR Challenge 2017.


Hmmmm...


Carrera RS 2.7...
Jota SVR...

...and the Circuit Wolf Lotus Europa Special.


Is Tomica trying to bring back The Circuit Wolf?

Domica July Horde

Tomica Premium #22 JASDF Kawasaki T-4 Blue Impulse

First, this... Not sure what it is. Taking a cue from their TLV range, the tailfin has to be glued on!

Tomica Premium #12 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7

Not bad, but when you're also releasing the TLV Porsche's it's hard not to make a comparison.


Tomica Premium #23 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR Evolution III

O.Z. Wheels!


Tomica Limited Vintage LV-N153a,b Nissan GT-R NISMO 2017 Model White & Black

Sick of GT-R? This is Nimso GT-R!


Tomy Mall Original Tomica Limited Vintage Nissan GT-R NISMO 2017 Model Matte Metallic Gray

This paint and finish is really nice. Looks sharper than the white and black version.

 

[Johnny1996]

Speaking of Tomica I found this last night. I got it a few years ago and I might've posted it before, I don't know.

Should have waited for the version with the folding chairs and umbrella!

I finally completed another hunt today. I received the RLC Batmobile earlier in the week. Ghostbusters Ecto today. Ecto, as much as I hated doing it, I went for the loose one. It was a cheap move & I'm sure I'll regret it later, but it was mint & just under $28(shipped).

First, this... Not sure what it is. Taking a cue from their TLV range, the tailfin has to be glued on!

Props to you for picking it up. I passed, but I loved the Blue Impulse jets as a kid. 👍👍

I have that one, too. Really, really old car, which makes it even cooler. 👍

Should have waited for the version with the folding chairs and umbrella!

Somewhat mildly interested. Like I said, Dale & his rifle, I'd consider it. Folding chair & parasol thing, meh.

The Christmas Vacation RV is a must buy though, right?

I'm a big fan.

I'm going to assume that was sarcasm.

Velocitaaaaaa!!!


jk it looks lamer than the other cars there.

 

[Johnny1996]

Thought this was fairly funny but this genuinely does make me want to know, does anyone know where in physical stores I can find some lifts without any cars with them? I haven't seen any at all where it was just the lifts alone and I know they at least used to have them available.

 

[yabiggoose]

@R1600Turbo I knew you'd post about it even after I did..

 

[CodeRedR51]

@R1600Turbo I knew you'd post about it even after I did..

Oops, missed it.

 

[a6m5]

I've never seen one of these in the wild:

It was Kroger/Fred Meyers. $11.99 isn't the best price, but I could always use one of these.

Picked these up at the same store. Subie is for me. Stores I go to carry 2016 to early '17 Matchbox cars, so I've never even seen this thing in person before. Fantasy cars are for de nephews, Jarrod.

I'm going to assume that was sarcasm.

You assume very correctly.

Buses!

I want the STI clay model. It reminds me of the clay model I should have posted over a month ago(no, not Tomica.). I'm incredibly lazy.

New TLV casting in November

I have no idea what this is. It looks like a Mazda, but it looks like a Crown!

And it's twin.

More like grandad.

No Michael's in your area?

Don't know if M2 still produces their Auto Lifts sets anymore.... They do make the one lift + 2 cars, but I get the feeling you know about those already. Some retailers may still carry them though.

I do. I'd like to find them somewhere though but we do have the secondary market as an option after all.
