1/64 Model Collectors Thread

F-Case images. Good stuff in here.

Spoiler: because big

I'm more interested in the 917 LH... I actually think it's spoiled what's going to be in one the Project Cars 2 DLC's.

Shows the type of person I am. I was more intrigued by the Honda Cities. They were the first thing I noticed on the back of the box.

Can attest to how cool the thing is, I have one in silver 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Not terrible. Better than GL I think.

 

[Johnny1996]

I can almost hear the foam coming from scalpers mouths fizzing right now.

 

[a6m5]

Pass. Like always, tampo headlights kills it for me. I actually like the GreenLight better here, but Kyosho probably would blow the door off either one.

I do however own one JL GT-R.

 

[CodeRedR51]

but Kyosho probably would blow the door off either one.

Well I would hope so for over 3x the price.

Not sure I would expect more than tampo headlights for anything available at retail for $5.

It's a yes & no though. Kyosho doesn't sell their cars for over $10, but secondary market prices certainly could go over $10. GreenLight cars are also closer to $5 than a $10 MSRP.

Kyosho somehow woke up:

Oh look, with Engrish translation!

Release date: March 25, 2018. EDIT: Preorders started yesterday. Sorry for the wrong info.

...And still no affordable and high-quality LFA 1:64 diecast that looks accurate from anybody, other than one Nurburgring package released by Kyosho 10 years ago, and that costs 100 USD online.

I’ve always wondered why Kyosho didn’t make the LFA (again) and the 300 SL in 1/64.

So they aren't dead?

 

[AOS-]

At least they're making something!

Aw man, I was hoping to get just the LC500s. I suppose I could wait.

 

[a6m5]

I wasn't planning on buying more from Japan Booster anytime soon, but I got a $15 offer from eBay app today, and Japan Booster happened to have couple of the few TLVs still on my wishlist in stock:

I'm thinking my TLV Coca Cola fleet should be complete by now. That actually reminds me of something good for me & Tomytec. Time to prepare a Tweet...

It's a start. 👍

 

[GroupB]

The Coke issues have gone through the roof lately. Was looking to pick some up, but I think I waited a few years too many.

I know the Skyline van(stationwagon) has. This 2 model set, I didn't even know existed until last year or so? Pretty excited about both models. I have Nissan Caball Coke truck, but it's that yellow one. It looks much better here in white & red!

Can you ask them about the increased level of DIY involvement on their models, while you're at it? Thanks.

Oh and cool scores. 👍

I was actually going to suggest "Coca Cola" on those Toyota Hiace van castings? I tried to find pictures of them, but I couldn't find one example of JDM minivan with Coca Cola. I still think it would make a good release, but doesn't TLV do only real life vehicles?(w/exception of Toy Shop Exclusives, etc.)

I have a purple with orange flames? R34 that they did I guess around 2008 because of the copyright date on the base. They look better than this.

Different from @a6m5 s one and it doesn’t have real riders.

 

[a6m5]

I actually prefer just painted headlights like that. Don't like odd looking tampos.

It looks like real riders, right? It was advertised as such & I ordered it. It turned out to be plastic tires, and seller agreed to a partial refund.

*checks records*

Interesting. It was also advertised as white chasis. It was $10 + $6 shipping in 2013. I asked for $3, seller gave me $5 making the total $11(shipped). Good deal.

Hiace or Town Ace?

I'd love to see some more Town Ace castings released down the track.

I found mine at a Toys R Us when they were selling old Johnny Lightnings. Yes it has plastic wheels like hot wheels.

My bad, Townace(or Town Ace I don't know). I actually looked up my own blog post & it turned out the pictures were down thanks to Photobucket, the image pirate. 👎 It's restored now & it features your two vans!! 👍👍

Have you paid the $400 ransom yet?

"AKA. Townace with wood on the side". 👍

Not my best pics those two....

 

[a6m5]

NEVER! I've restored few of those posts, but I do wonder how many more are still without images. Pain in the ***.

I thought they were clear though? P.S. Wood on the side's the best. :tup:

 

[Johnny1996]

Merry Christmas!

 

[a6m5]

That is cool. 👍 I'll just share my two Holiday Tweets:



P.S. Another unexpected eBay purchase. It's the CM's!(and one Aoshima):

 

[ScottPuss20]

MODERN CLASSICS

Eh, they look alright but I'm not happy with them. Whatever though.

Always! 👍

That Aoshima Williams looks good.
