1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Yeah, I assumed it wasn't a pre-order because those Spark's were released back in July? That's why I though it sounded a bit shady. Assuming too, that they still haven't been shipped yet?

Ugh, he says he'll get them next week. I want to contact eBay and cancel the transaction, but I have a dilemma - if I cancel the transaction, my dad doesn't get a birthday present. Should I wait?

Seinfeld and The Simpsons! (at least for the first dozen seasons or so).

Man, only the first dozen series? That's not half as good as Seinfeld, which had about a million... Or at least it looked like it had a million seasons, given how many episodes and quotes exist.

Well, if anyone can make people bored of the BRE livery. It's Greenlight. They're the experts of milking a castings and themes.

Thank goodness they haven't touched it, then. I can certainly live with Hot Wheels doing it, because they are reserved and only use it for classic Datsuns. As it should be, really...

Didn't Greenlight release a GT-R BRE hobby shop edition?

I have one on my blog. I got mine from eBay.

That's a tough one. Probably a stupid question but have you looked to see if there's another seller who has the Audi's in-stock, for around the same price you paid? I'd be inclined to get them from somewhere else if I could. If not, you might have stick it out with that dude and see if he comes through.

Seinfeld went for nine seasons. They did pack a lot of good stuff into those nine seasons though. It's timeless!

I think that's the only one with the BRE livery that they've done so far? First one of many I assume.

I bought the Rothmans Porsche and NISMO GTR retro livery Spark cars. Too cool not to have.

I just checked amiami, but I don't see a preorder for this set. Grachan Collection, right? Did they mention which series? Cars look GREAT.

OMG dude. That third shot. 👍👍

 

[GTboyz]

that is some quality. I assume it's very expensive?

Finally, finally got some new hot wheels. Including the Mazda pickup. They are thing of beauty. I had the urge to uncard it right there in the store(that would've been weird). No Kool Kombi though. Damn.

Lady at the cashier said day ago, this guy came to pay for two hot wheels. He didn't want her to put them in bag, because while they were buck each, they were worth about $40 each. Obviously were $uper Treasure Hunts, but I have no idea what kind of $TH are worth that much outside 510, Batmobile, or gasser. Maybe he meant $40 for both, which would sound about right for two average $THs.

Roughly $14 shipped for me(combined shipping from Japan).

Grachan Collection Series 10.

👍

You mean there's more already?

Cars look GREAT.

What's that one, top right? That's not a gold Carina is it? No wonder you're interested!

The Silver Z and red silhouette style Silvia. Look awesome.

That was my guess. Thanks. 👍

No, but you are probably onto something.

Hell yeah dude.

I also like that white Cedric looking sedan, second from the right.

 

[Spacegoat]

No, but you are probably onto something.

It is only a matter of time.

Hell yeah dude.

Great.

You just need six of gold ones now....

 

[a6m5]

It is only a matter of time.

Pretty much a given amirite.

Do you think I'm crazy or something? I'd never do that, starting right meow.

I can't wait for the BRE Dodge Monaco.

Do you think I'm crazy or something?

No comment.

$15 from Daboxtoys. There is still some stock left probably.

Model is good. The base is cool in that there is no screw to fasten the car down. Packaging is subpar.

Found these two today.

You lucky people finding Matchbox cars; all I get are construction vehicles, tractors, and off-road buggies. Only cars I find are multi-packs, which tend to only have one or two cars I want anyway.

 

[a6m5]

Really liked this Mazda REPU from the start, but it turns out that this casting also pwns at both downhill race tracks & stunt loops. My nephews took the flashy fantasy castings, as castings based on real life vehicles almost always perform poorly, but man, they couldn't believe how dominant this one was today.

I can't wait for the BRE Dodge Monaco.

It'll probably sell out completely.

No comment.

I will find you, Spacegoat.

Mostly same here also. Really interested in that Golf.

Yeah I looked around and could only find one other Audi, with an asking price of about $40. And that's not even including postage So I'll have to stick with the deal because I can't get a better one.

This is a great looking model, especially for 1:64 scale. I like it a lot.

Foolish.

I hope you'd enjoyed using it. Sounds like you'll never get your hands on it again.

I will find you, Spacegoat.

Make sure to bring the green Gemini with you.

Fingers crossed the guy comes through. 👍

Also, new addition:

Forgot all that release. Looks great. 👍

Just on Biante too. They're releasing the HRT Sandown winner in 1:64, at some point towards the end of the year. Will have to keep an eye out for that one.

Yay, I really need the HRT car from last year. They also have pre-orders for this year's Penske Fords and HSV Racing cars. Damn, I never expected Biante to come back into the 1:64 segment like this. I just wish someone made Mark Winterbottom's car from last year in 1:64.

 

[Spacegoat]

Damn, I never expected Biante to come back into the 1:64 segment like this.

Sadly that seems like the only 1:64 Supercars models they're doing this year. (Though the HRT car isn't listed there, so who knows?)

I'm hoping they'll do Courtney's Boost livery at some point.

 

[a6m5]

Posted my Spark Nissans tonight. If anybody's interested: Part 1, Part 2.

I hope you'd enjoyed using it. Sounds like you'll never get your hands on it again.

Oh, no. Once you draft the car, it belongs to the person who selected the car. I may always select last, but they do respect other people's cars.

Make sure to bring the green Gemini with you.

It will be green, but I'm wiping it off probably on your..... shirt.

Most recent haul, arrived yesterday. AMX is a rare hot pink redline under all that marker. Going to try to clean it up and make it pretty again without having to crack it open.

That is funny. I think I'd have done the same as a kid. My adult self screams "NOOO!!!".
