1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Tunerguy21]

Haven't gone hunting in a while.

Thanks for this. Now I need to find that R33. I told myself I was just going to get the two 7s. Not gonna last long.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

New case streak continues this time B case with the R33 and two white Porsches
Also got my first Majorette a 918 and the Forza set at Toys R Us

 

[CodeRedR51]

I picked up that Forza set yesterday. Only keeping two cars though. Anyway, there was a nice sign in front of them "Limited Quantities - 1 Per Customer". There were like 20 on the shelf.

That's awesome @Spacegoat. I remember reading the Bluebird rally car in GT is modelled after the movie car?

 

[MedigoFlame]

McLaren 720S is coming to Hot Wheels!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Wonder why they only did the F1, P1, and 720 and not the other models like the 675 LT and 12c etc.

The car in GT is the 1970 Safari winner, even if PD has labeled it as a ‘69.

Bunch of toys in the mail today:

RLC Convoy Custom..... I only ordered two.

Raw Green Machine R34 GT-R Police Car by GreenLight - Box was beat to hell, but thankfully, seller knew how to pack really well. 👍👍

2 of 3 amiami stuff showed up. Grachan Collection box is still MIA. It was scanned in Japan around the 7th, and it hasn't been scanned since. I usually couldn't care less when my stuff shows up? Grachan was one that I really looked forward to(they have chase cars), and accordingly, I'll never see it.

I picked up a hot wheel on the way home today, too.

I saw the parts they want us to install on this car. ARE THEY SERIOUS.

Rear handles(silver, don't know what they are), unpainted spotlight & mud flaps. Car looks amazing, but I can't believe that we have to install this crap ourselves when they already are charging us crazy money.

Can I borrow your pics for the "before" DIY parts install? I'm going to try installing on mine & watch, my Bluebird rally would look like it really did drive through some hellish rally race. It's gonna looked 🤬 up.

Do recall seeing something about it. Positive that it was in this thread.

I only ordered two.

Quick! Flip the other two before the seller realises what has happened. J/k

Rear handles(silver, don't know what they are), unpainted spotlight & mud flaps.

I didn't even bother to look at all that stuff, when I took the car out of the box yesterday. Pure madness.

You know I'm not going to risk it but best of luck installing all of that. 👍

 

[yabiggoose]

Considering how much DIY is involved with a lot of TLV now and the amount they charge, it's really ridiculous.

Glad to see the 787b seems to be going up in price slightly.

Rear handles(silver, don't know what they are)

The Safari in those days was an epic, non-stop, week-long event on public roads, which were often in bad shape from rainy weather. The handles on the trunk were so a person could jump on the back and aid traction through muddy sections.

The seller is Mattel, as these are RLC cars. I did notify them of the error.

Can I practice on your Bluebird first?

Like two dollars?

I did not see that coming. 👍 Thank you for the info!!

@Spacegoat @a6m5
I will selflessly offer up my own free time for you. Please send me your expensive high quality TLV Datsuns and I will install everything free of charge!



What do you mean you want them back too?

 

[yabiggoose]

Do want. Stupid how they don't send to Aus yet Australia is far closer to their factories.

 

[Apok]

@domalorite was right, this thing looks really good.

 

[GroupB]

One more note on the 510 rally cars. The car numbers in those days were not random. Each rally seeded participants like a tennis tournament. Therefore, it’s not surprising that the winning 510 in 1970 carried #4, while the movie car from 1969 was #90.

 

[AOS-]

Found a P1, an R35, and the Advan Fairlady.... but still no FD or Fugu Z in sight.


I did however find the Milano on a 2018 card. That's kind of cool. But still....

 

[shellac10]

@a6m5 : That is some BS with the TLV Rally Bluebird.

 

[VXR]

In the last couple of weeks 2018 Cases have been dropping in my city. I've got the DR30, the yellow FD3S, the Defender, the Mad Mike Mustang etc. I got the white GT3RS but left the 934 as it's just too plain and there was extra material around the side window.

I'm most pleased to have the R33 however, which I just found this morning. That is one super clean casting and the decal placement is perfection. Right up there with my red FD for accuracy.

 

[Apok]

It's been posted about here before, but just a friendly reminder that there's an automotive model competition going on and you should totally go vote or better yet participate in the next one!

Agreed, the R33 is one of the perfect ones. Even the wheels are perfect, i can't find any wheels that are better than the original ones.

 

[a6m5]

Illest Fatlace VW Bus is back in stock.($25 + shipping, probably no international?)

Hot Wheels Club/Red Line Club Black Friday Sale.(Glitchy as always, code should be HWCFRIDAY for 40% off, free shipping for order totaling $35+ after discount, probably no international here either. Sorry.) P.S. Discount applies to lot of stuff they have, but not some notable cars like the new Mach Boss Mustang, Long Gone, etc.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Glad the recolor of the R33 is keeping the headlight and taillight tampos. Wonder if the wheels will be any different.

 

[a6m5]

Amiami backorder came through successfully on this one.

Adds about $34 to my monthly order from them. Another notable was this one, which I somehow missed the preorder on.

Too much money for this though. Nearly $18 before shipping. Undecided on the December release:

I might have to do it. One I certainly love & still boycott is this:

Roughly $70. About double the prices of what the old TLV buses used to go for.

Like that pale green Laurel but meh. Pretty happy with just the two Spark Bentley's and the mainline Tomica Camaro at the moment.

I was thinking the brown one. It's a real shame about the new bus prices. 👎

It's way late, but I'm going to go check out Toys R Us to see if they have any cool hot wheels for Black Friday. Waste of time, but I'm driving by it anyway.

Edit: Not much of anything new, just new Matchbox cars. Found exactly one I'd buy, but I wasn't getting in the checkout line for just one of these. Pass.

Yeah that colour is nice too but I think the green is more unique? Still though, pass.

As nice as that VW is. Totally understand why you didn't want to stand in a long queue with just that.
