1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[ScottPuss20]

Stuff from AmiAmi landed today. Which was surprising, considering that both orders were only shipped last Friday.

Spark Bentley Continental GT3's, TLV Crown Wagon and Nissan Prairie, Tomica Premium Lancer Evo and Tomica Camaro.

The Continentals, Lancer and Camaro. I've been waiting on for over a month. Got delayed thanks to Spark not releasing the Bentley's until about a week ago.

@domalorite I totally get what you were saying about the green on the Crown being lighter than the promo shots. While it does still look very nice, I would preferred the darker green as well.

Damn you @Spacegoat, I want those Bentleys! Also, is that a 1:64 scale Porsche 919 in the background? When did you get that?

RIP Mitsubishi.
Tried to see if I can push the tire off a wheel on this car to eventually repaint them to white since the yellow really looks bad. Wheel shattered without much pressure at all, most likely due to the plastic degrading and becoming brittle.
Guess I'll have to keep my eyes open for a CM's galant as I quite like this car.

Cut the other ones off, make mold, fill it with resin, repair, and have unlimited ammo... eh, replicas for customs.

 

[AOS-]

ATTN: Everyone but @a6m5.

eh, replicas for customs.

Replicas you can sell. Business plan right there once you get your nose into those diecast customizing circles.

@Spacegoat

Looks like Kyosho does a cleaner job on the lamps and front grills... or everything actually...

Damn Spark, you suck.

The Spark model rolls. That's probably the only positive it has over the Kyosho one.

Well that and the Spark liveries are sweet.

Also, is that a 1:64 scale Porsche 919 in the background? When did you get that?

Good eye.

Came out last year, when Spark released all those Le Mans cars.

[a6m5]

I knew you'd come around.

I might actually buy this one.

Oh yeah, I didn't post them because I wasn't sure how many pics I could fit into one post. Let me fix that.

Thanks for that one. Awesome pics. 👍

My Galant had same rims:

Your story actually reminded me of my CM's Celica that had the wheel's busted in shipping. If I recall correctly, seller mailed it from China in mailer bag/pack:

Turns out this post had lost all pics thanks to Photobucket hijacking all my pics, so I just got to restore it. 👍

Damn Spark, you suck.

I had hoped that they would be improve upon the Kyosho example, but at the same time, Spark in my collection, generally looks cheaper than decent Kyoshos. A letdown, but I expected it to go either way.

Since we both wanted it equally as much we had a coin toss to determine who took it home. I lost.

.......... Did you move? Doesn't sound like Somalia I remember.....

ATTN: Everyone but @a6m5.

What gives. Why Andy? Why!?

 

[AOS-]

What gives. Why Andy? Why!?

Be'cuz you poop. Also because DaBox.

 

[a6m5]

Be'cuz you poop. Also because DaBox.

Oh yeah, Dabox. I've gotten cars with bad display base, messed up box, also really bad preorder experience where they responded exactly none of the messages sent + same question asked on Facebook comment(they replied to another guy leaving some random comment).

Didn't they get bought out though? I thought ownership changed?

P.S. Everybody poop. If you don't, it's time to see a specialist!

 

[Spacegoat]

I don't believe you.

Thanks for that one. Awesome pics. 👍

Was going to steal a technique of yours but it was too hard, so I just put them side by side instead.

 

[GroupB]

My Galant had same rims:

Two different cars. The Safari version (yours) had no wheel problems. The Ivory Coast car did.

 

[a6m5]

I don't believe you.

I'm serious!

That truck is awesome!

I realize they are different cars, but aren't they same wheels? I just looked at them again, they look identical to me, except one set's discoloring?

 

[GroupB]

I realize they are different cars, but aren't they same wheels? I just looked at them again, they look identical to me, except one set's discoloring?

Definitely different materials. If you google the Safari car, all pics have good wheels, and if you google the Ivory Coast car, all the wheels are yellowed.

 

[Spacegoat]

I'm serious!

I still don't believe you.

Look, the white one is very nice but you need this one.

 

[Johnny1996]

.......... Did you move? Doesn't sound like Somalia I remember.....

I don't nearly go anywhere diecast hunting or otherwise as much as I used to so I think I just got lucky there.

 

[a6m5]

Ah, I see what you meant now. Probably same mold, but different polymer, maybe process or something. 👍

So predictable Jarrodgi. Usually, I would go for the Nissan Service. I don't know why, but white seems more appealing to me this time. I hate to be a racist, but there you go.

Everybody gets lucky sometimes. 👍

 

[Spacegoat]

Predictable and impartial.

Seriously you really can't go wrong with any of them. 👍

 

[a6m5]

Predictable and impartial.

That's enough, Jarrod. Don't make me call you out again....

Seriously you really can't go wrong with any of them. 👍

I beg to differ. I think the white one's good, and that's the only one I want.

 

[GTboyz]

3 of my favourites from the Forza series. The details on these 3 cars are cool, especially the Bimmer.

 

[CodeRedR51]

G Case preview. (More)

 

[Spacegoat]

Please, you've got more hope of finding dirt on the Pope.

The white one is just the beginning. Trust me.

I still haven't been able to get my hands on one. They are quite difficult to find for a decent price on eBay, and it's very annoying. Yes, I have also checked AmiAmi but it's sold out...

 

[Spacegoat]

Yes, I have also checked AmiAmi but it's sold out...

Yeah, I was hoping to be able to grab the Toyota TS030 too but they all sold out pretty quickly on AmiAmi after they were released.

More or less recently grabbed this Preferred version of the Muscle Tone. This thing rules omg.

Reminds me a lot of the Plymouth AAR Cuda, like it could be a modern interpretation of sorts.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Someone has consigned these:

Whoever he is, he’s a hero.

That looks amazing.

Haven’t gotten or seen E case cars yet. Last case I got was D. Now it’s all old stuff.

 

[Apok]

Finally, I got my hand on one of these thanks to ebignorijp listing more.

CM's Lancia 037 Rally |1983 Sanremo






If anyone remembers the Schuco Huracan and 458 I got quite a while ago, I got this a couple weeks after those for around 4€. Certainly worth that price, not worth what they usually go for online.

Schuco Porsche Boxster S

$300HKD for these future releases:

These look graphically pretty, but is it worth the asking price, Tarmac owners?

Please tell me you bought that.

 

[GTboyz]

Oh yes...

Despite all the hype, the best one in this set imo is the RX3

 

[RCKakashi14]

Pardon for the potato quality:

Arguably the best CM’S I have. Got them for dirt cheap.

Please tell me you bought that.

Still torn on getting the road car or the racer. Besides, that store is just a stone’s throw away from home.
