1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[a6m5]

Do you have any remainders you are willing to offer up to people here?

Every single castings in there were mainline trash, outside K-Day exclusive. Exclusives are trash-ish too though.

Mail call.

Kingswood Estate's so epic.

Here is a... uh, I dont even know, I think it'soff the Garage or Boulevard series.

Okay, I give up. Anybody remember where the yellow Lamborghini came from?

Edit: I forgot to share this yesterday.

Speed Machines. Bought it when they were like $3.

OMG. *checks eBay for price* $30 + lot of shipping for loose. Carded one's double that or more. 👍

 

[Spacegoat]

It's like the 80's Kmart, but after zombie apocalypse.

No wonder you like that store so much!

See that detail?

Personally I'm totally over R35 castings but damn, that looks really good. 👍

 

[photonrider]

Mmhhh... I'm reasonably sure I have most blackwall-era variations of this car, at least the attainable ones -missing stuff like the white wheel real riders black with flames thing- but I don't think I have pictures of them. At least not alone.

Here's a Real Riders one along with the already mentioned spectrapink example:

Man, that's a post that shouldn't have been at the bottom of such a fast moving thread. Talking about yellow Lambos . . . :

(A blast from the past. Still have 'em all. )

 

[a6m5]

Jeebus. I have few loose & few carded. Only Lamborghini I have is a loose/gray Countach.

 

[domalorite]

Looks really good. Who makes it?

Never heard of this company. The shop owner says it is made by a HK company. It seems to be released under a different brand called Unique64 in other places. I think this may be from the original manufacturer.

The casting was released about a week ago in red. I was going to buy it but hesitated as I didn’t know the brand and I thought it was a custom TLV. I regret it now as the red is sold out.

Here is a YouTube video of the red



Other colours



Still haven’t had time to upload photos and they didn’t come out as good as I expected. Black is really hard to photo. I might buy another colour that is easier to photo.

Dang, that looks incredible. How much?

Looks to be a sister brand of Make Up. Video does say TSM though. I'm going to guess TSM borrowed Make Up's mold to make a 1/64 scale of what Make Up currently already has in 1/18.

Make Up is a high-end resin brand BTW.



I too am not huge on R35s, but I could see myself looking into Veloce a little more.

Edit: Jokes. I'll pass. There is only one person selling them ATM and they're asking for $100.

You'll probably get your money's worth if you got one big car rather than 3 smaller versions.

 

[domalorite]

Dang, that looks incredible. How much?

The answer to this question will most likely put people off from now on. I paid USD40.00. Nearly three times the price of a TLV. Is it worth it? I would say barely, very barely. You do get what you pay for. An absolutely highly detailed model, at 1/64 scale. The base is made from a solid block of acrylic. Others are simply molded and hollowed out underneath. This feels substantial. Of course the model is incredibly light being made from resin.

Also its purely for display only. The wheels do not move. You certainly won't be playing this on a Hot Wheels race track as its not going to move an inch.

Video does say TSM though.

That YouTuber added the TSM to the title. I don't think its from TSM. They just released the awful MiniGT brand. And with a model this detailed, why not stick your name on it? Why keep it unbranded.

 

[AOS-]

Veloce's the brand.

 

[domalorite]

Veloce's the brand.

I mean the company and manufacturer. Here in HK its released as Veloce brand. Other places its released as Unique64, although a few shops here are also selling it with the Unique64 brand name. There is no mention of the company anywhere.

Edit: Photos uploaded at last.

First, my first AutoWorld. This is a really nice and detailed casting. I've never taken much notice of AW stuff but if its this good I'm going to have to buy more of their stuff. Compared to the Matchbox its worlds apart, especially since they both cost me the same.

You're missing out. Best thing on the market for the money.

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, AutoWorld bang for the buck is hard to beat.

Of course I sometimes get into it with Jason on this, but it'd make me happier if they charged us more for resin/plastic headlights & taillights instead of painting them white in most of their models.

Are they cheaper than the upcoming models by TSM?

I doubt TSM will be more than $40!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

So um I found a full Japan historics 2 set in a target today $27 for the whole set at $5.49 each

Also finally found the Subaru and Datsun from the cars and doughnuts set at a Meijer hey had a full set but I needed the two to complete it.

And found some E and F case cars but no JDM stuff from the basics except for the red 240z

I actually found 4 of 5 as well. Only one missing was the 510, but it doesn't surprise me.

Still looking for those...

I also bought that Mercury bottom center. Good stuff.

That’s my major shopping spree of the month rest will probably be basics unless a new real rider set shows up. Still haven’t seen any new mystery models or anything like that.

I got a refund of USD8.80 on that trash of a car from Asian Greenlight.

 

[a6m5]

I went to Kmart out of town today to get 4 more Hot Wheels. I just needed an excuse to get outside(I've been sick all week).

I grew up in this area, and I drove right by black dude who looked just like Marvin(+many years added) from high school walking by, but I wasn't able to stop. One minute later, I'm walking into Kmart when this older black dude approaches me & says that his name's Marvin, he puts shopping carts away, disinfect handles, etc. & if I could give me some change. It was weird. I never give money to homeless, but I told him I would after I got change & I got him $5, but he was GONE by the time I came back.

I also checked Kroger & Walmart too on the way back. I found not one car worth buying, so I find posts like the following very annoying:

If Asian couldn't improve GreenLight, there is no hope for GreenLight.... jk

 

[CodeRedR51]

Speaking of Greenlight, these GT's aren't bad. Plus all the other acquisitions from today.

The really low point in this sorry saga was when I went back to the shop. I asked the shop owner if I could exchange instead of a refund. He said I could but afraid I might just get another bad piece. That was how confident he was....

That reply and his expression summed up this release. I’m just happy to get the refund and be over with Asian Greenlight

I did see that Matchbox R8 card. Just the card. Somebody stole the car inside.

I forgot, I hit the Toys R Us by me on the way out, too. All stores sucked.

That is pretty convincingly bad. Very sorry to hear your experience with it.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I was able to get 4 F case cars from a Toys R Us. The Maverick, red Datsun, black AMG GT and the Esprit. @a6m5

Not a huge fan of the new Ford GT but those two with the retro liveries look really cool, actually. Great scores. 👍

There's a GTR SpecV ? *Eyes twitches*

Edit : checked my local online shops, the Speed Machine orange GTR goes for $70ish, the black one goes over $100ish..

I really hate everything right now.

Annoying when one can't order these collectibles before they are made, no? The finish on the orange one has to be seen in real life to be believed - great job on it.
