1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[a6m5]

EDIT: This would be the not quite 1:64 motorcycle I was referring to.

👍

Quick question, how's M2 Machines quality compared to Greenlight ?

That Supernatural Impala looks neat, but so is the M2 VW Microbus, both similar price here.

They really are unique from each other. Both brands focused on American cars, but similarities pretty much end there. Especially lately.

GreenLight models should be more accurate, but to me, their models are more clumsy-looking. If you are picky, don't impulse buy & look at the pics of the loose castings closely before pulling the trigger. They can be very cool, okay, or disgusting. I have bunch of GreenLight cars posted on my blog.

M2 styling isn't for everybody, but they are certainly for me. Their American classics & VWs are awesome. My M2s are here. They run big for 1/64, but I don't even care. These guys are more of artists when they mold the castings. Again, I recommend looking at bunch of loose models of each brand. Like Jason, I also prefer non-opening hoods & doors. What a waste of resources.

Alright, I'm good.

It's beautiful Apok. *barf* j/k Is it on your blog yet?

Yeah well my Kyosho is better than your Kyosho...

How do you not show a Kyosho after this statement!? I like you, but you crazy.

I thought Bugzees was too much money, but you are right. It almost looks like a good value after the TLV 787B.

No bent wing either (unless your name is Shinji)!

Wing was straightish, but the legs/support things are tilting.

That old thing?
Nah, hasn't been updated in months. I just post stuff on twitter now and again.

Blog's great for cataloging your toy cars. If you ever see something on my blog & go "who is he talking to?", or "this matters how?", there is a good chance I'm just leaving information in there for myself.

Kyosho GT-R set has arrived at the store:

And the Tarmac Audi R8 V10 Plus. I’ll get one if there’s a blue variant.

 

[GTboyz]

I'll settle on an M2 VW Microbus, that thing looks beautiful. Saw a few videos of Greenlight and they turned me off.

Bought this loose one today:

I have couple of those(gold & I think blue). Mine's the original release though. Yours is the new re-release, right? I think they are supposed to be more detailed than the original.

Just gotta get the right castings, like I said....hit or miss. These were a few of my favorites:

Damn that Shelby looks fine. The wheels aren't as huge as the Bullitt Mustang too.

Most of the good castings have been out for a while, so your only hope of getting them are on eBay. The newer stuff they produce is a far cry from their older stuff. Here are a couple pics of some I had. Kind of wish I had never sold any of them.

The Yenko Chevelle's are nice, and there's one of those Mustangs again.

This Charger was great.

And here's a better look at the Shelby.

Anyway, point made I'm sure.

Edit: Oh, can't forget this one...

 

[GTboyz]

Yikes that Yenko Chevelle looks great!

Hard to find them now lol

Well, there is only one listed on eBay, so that might be true...

 

[GTboyz]

I'm in Indonesia, it will be much harder to find, if i do find one, it will be much more expensive.

Edit : can find a couple in Yellow, Red, Blue and Dark Green Barret Jackson.

One Hot Wheels left at a local supermarket and it was a freakin' Time Shifter. Yeeeeeeessssss!

I'd been looking forward to that beauty for months.

 

[GroupB]

Confirmation of another TLV 787B.
Let the games begin

 

[shellac10]

Are those Honda Civics toward the back right?

Are those Honda Civics toward the back right?

Yes, announced a while back*

[Spacegoat]

Confirmation of another TLV 787B.

Would like to try and give them the benefit of the doubt with this one. Hopefully they've learnt a few lessons from the first release. Probably not though.

And that Hino tractor head looks really cool. I'm so/so on the truck and trailer thing.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm assuming this is going in the next wave of Japan Historics.

I'd be shocked if the existing issues aren't fixed on the upcoming release. It's too late for this one collector though. I've been suspecting that they too are going the GreenLight route(profit over quality), and I'm nearly sure of that now. TLV 787B might've been a "nice" model(generous way to describe it), but their quality control was a absolute joke by their standards.

That yellow thing? It does look cool. 👍

*BRING MONEY

For Civic, I will!

 

[domalorite]

Is that a crooked wing?

 

[AOS-]

Is that a crooked wing?

If this turns into an inside joke...

 

[Spacegoat]

Sweet colour scheme, if that is the final product. I was worried that it wouldn't be as cool looking as the super rare and expensive white one you have? I think this new one might be better.

Is that a crooked wing?

Jesus.

 

[yabiggoose]

TLV can go get 🤬 as far as I'm concerned now.

 

[GTboyz]

I'm assuming this is going in the next wave of Japan Historics.

Or just a recolored version of the regular mainline.

 

[GTboyz]

Finally this baby came

Yellow is better than white, you said it, not me.

Jesus.

This is good times.

Harsh, but they certainly are headed in the wrong direction to me, too.

 

[Spacegoat]

Not only better but cheaper too!

Maybe.

 

[a6m5]

Not only better but cheaper too!

Maybe.

Only in original MSRP. I don't remember how much I paid for the white tractor head, but wasn't it$50-something? I forget, I'm old... 💡​

I'm not as confident about that as you are.

I'll give you $51 for it.
