1/64 Model Collectors Thread

These are kind of awesome in a weird way.



Edit: Remember these?

Holy crap on the going rate.

I was just paying my amiami invoice & saw this:

I honestly didn't notice that I selected anything with damage/blemish? I guess I could have missed it. It's really dumb, because the item is a duplicate of previous order, where bunch of TLVs & Sparks came in with packaging all trashed. I guess I reordered another one with trashed packaging.

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.

Sorry I forgot to comment on this. I'm pretty sure you can find them sometimes on eBay, but I know you don't do online. I had a spare one, but I gave it to a buddy of mine. If I come across any extras, I'd be more than happy to get one to you, but I have no idea when that might be.

No Michael's in your area?

I've been there, but I've never looked for it. Never crossed my mind.

If they were true 1/64 scale, I'd be pretty excited to see these. But they won't be(it's JL!), so it's a game time decision for me.

Buses!

Premium WRX looks the goods. Don't mind that mainline Mini either.

Fantasy cars are for de nephews, Jarrod.

Whatever you say.

Nice score on the WRX, btw. 👍

I guess I reordered another one with trashed packaging.

At least you know when it arrives damaged, that it's not USPS's fault this time!

Too soon? Sorry.

 

[a6m5]

Whatever you say.

Actually, we have this draft system, right? Three of us pick the cars from 6, 9 cars or whatever I have for them that day & we take turns picking out the cars we want(I go last, because I'm a gentleman). I'm not gonna lie, I think I'm gonna go for the blue one. De nephews dig the animals & dinosaur cars, so I doubt I'll be able to get it, but you never know.

Thank you.

Remember, I'm google satellite map searching your hometown. As we speak, I'm trying to imagine what your car might look like from a satellite. 💡

Thanks for the offer. If I can do it at the time and still need them I'll see if I can do that. I had a pack of five but sold three off to my friend after reserving two. I'd only need one or two but I don't even know if I'm going through with the idea I have. The two I have are already in use.

Always something right?

Ratmobile or bust!

Shouldn't be too hard to find. It's the one made out of blue Lego.

 

[GroupB]

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

Nissan Laurel C230 (post sedan)

Hopefully they release the hardtop sedan as well at some point.

 

[homeforsummer]

Very rarely does anything decent turn up in the local supermarket, but had to grab this one when I saw it.

I very rarely go looking for Hot Wheels nowadays and it's even rarer that I pick something up. But that Porsche rocks and I got one in a heartbeat. 👍

 

[yabiggoose]

I still haven't found one

 

[a6m5]

Porsches stay on pegs for little while around here. I wonder if it's a West Coast thing. JDM on the other hand can be tough to impossible sometimes.

Wow, it looks sharp! 👍

It's all 3D area search in my area now. It's kinda cool. Google rocks.

I wondered if those were placeholder wheels on the TLV, but no, the hubcaps were really that strange IRL.

 

[Johnny1996]

My mom brought this home for me. Only problem is collector OCD makes me want the other four cars and right meow (yes that was intentional).

Just so you know, one of the cars in that series (the '81 Camaro) is a Toys 'R Us exclusive.

Thanks for the info. 👍

And of course it's the 3rd gen which is my favorite generation.

'81 is still 2nd gen (final year)

 

[Johnny1996]

'81 is still 2nd gen (final year)

You know, leave it up to me to be thinking "80s = 3rd gen but not every year" while I was typing that, and therefore thinking it was just 1980 that was 2nd gen. Happens every now and again to me. But it doesn't help any since 2nd gen is my 2nd favorite.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

If I had more money I would've bought the other L and M case cars but I had $6 so I got these from target

Pagani and AMG were the only ones on the pegs. Also saw a Majorette Avio at Toys R Us but didn't get it.

It's not your fault, it's GM's fault for dragging out a platform for 12 years

What's left of the diecast isle at my local KMart...

 

[a6m5]

One of my latest & the oldest:

Wonder Woman Invisible Jet(Hot Wheels - Walmart Mail-in)

Matchbox World Class Porsche 959

I wondered if those were placeholder wheels on the TLV, but no, the hubcaps were really that strange IRL.

I like the hardtop lot better. Wheel covers looks better, too.

At my Kmart, similar selection, but half of those would be beat to crap & fallen on shelves.

Boost Gear's having another Summer sale, and that Carp fish R92CP is available.

 

[Spacegoat]

I'm sure I paid more than that for my Carp Streamer from AmiAmi. That's a good deal.

Here's the catch: They don't ship overseas. After forwarding fee, domestic shipping & international, I doubt it'll stay competitive with what we paid.

I kinda suspected the shipping would make it a little more expensive. No international shipping from that mob though? AmiAmi rocks.

Most Japanese stores seems to shy away from international shipping. Which sucks, because: a) Japan has some neat exclusive stuff. b) Postage rates are dirt cheap from there.

 

[Spacegoat]

You need to relocate back to Japan, so you can hook us up with stuff on the cheap. :tup:

 

[GTboyz]

The '17 Ford GT has got to be my favourite from my own collection. It looks beautiful !

Now i have to find the silver and yellow one (and the $TH *fingers crossed)

These are kind of awesome in a weird way.

Lol are you using Indonesian language for your Facebook ?

I was under the impression they do ship international. By any chance have you dealt with them before? I'm curious to know if it would be cheaper if I used 829Japan to order stuff.

It's in english for me, why?
