1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[CodeRedR51]

Little bit disapointed with the deco (looks more suited to a US muscle car) and wheels on the R32, I was hoping for a more stock appearance for the first run, gunmetal grey or pearl black with dark grey 5 spoke wheels would have been a much better choice for launch.

Nismo S-Tune please.

Recently found and picked up the new Porsche 917 LM casting in Gulf blue; what a fun little car! I'm back on the Hot Wheels Porsche train, BAY-BAY!

I feel like the transporters for the Skylines should have been closer to those weird transporters from Japan with all the lights on them.

If you are referring to these, personally I'd be against it. I guess it could depend on the Skyline too, but I feel like the two cultures don't mix very well.

as a GT fan I kind of feel like a traitor buying it!

Also agree on R32. 👍

 

[GTboyz]

Not with shipping and people selling them for more than what they’re worth.

So websites like 1stopdiecast and such sell the more than what they're worth? Damn..

Also bummed that the S15 is in Forza colours, as a GT fan I kind of feel like a traitor buying it!

That S14 prototype looks smart though, great stance on it, if the R32 is shown as a 2019 model then how long do we think the Silvia will take?!

The wheels on the R32 isn't final. Lamley has posted the presentation video and it's five spoke black on chrome.

They're asking for $50 US for a set of Matchbox which is way more than what I paid for at the store.

 

[GTboyz]

The wheels looks smaller than the actual one and it's a bit too tall imo

Yikes.

They were reasonable from what I've seen, but you have to buy a whole case, and most people rather not deal with extra 2, 3 sets.

I personally encountered hassles with my preorder & no communication on top of that, so my advice to anyone thinking about purchasing from them: Proceed with caution. I finally received a word from them, only after I told them that I was going to dispute the charge on my credit card. Cars I preordered? By the time I finally got them, they were really old news by then.

Those are the ones I'm disappointed by

As I said I'd much rather see the older smaller 5 spoke rims (same used on the R31 when it debuted) as they're closer to stock (or mesh wheels if they're going for the V-Spec II look).

 

[photonrider]

Is there anything here that's new?

Gee, reddy don't know.

What's the green Hillman Minx-like station wagon to the right of the gold 'vette?
I would take that off you in a flash.
And which Batmobile is that?

It’s a Arkham one I believe. But I don’t remember the official name of it.

Some finds today from a shop that doesn't normally carry premium Hot Wheels.

Now before anyone says anything:
1x Honda for its wheels
1x Datsun to have loose
1x RX3 to have loose
2x wagons to modify

I wanted another Sunagon to have one loose but alas they only had one.

Good thing my community market have a lot of custom wheels for sale. CM Advanced Wheels has licensed five star enkei wheels similar to the stock R32

Closer look at the S14/S15:

Another great Alfa:

Also the best one imo.

This thing looks incredible but it's going to be pricy. TLV Hino heavy equipment transporter.

Scheduled for release in August, if anyone is interested.

 

[Zychotic1]

so I had to take a picture for my datsun friends on FB but It kinda belongs here too...

and since I still havn't come out of the closet with my collection on here yet... here's a very very small portion.. my nissan /datsun's....

handful of old customs in there, but a few gems hiding too

A TF collector too! Cool!

 

[Zychotic1]

A TF collector too! Cool!

while I am a TF fan *not Michael bay's butchery*, I must admit those are the only 2 I have anymore... mostly for the fact that they are 280ZX's wich I currently own 2

If I buy this, punch me in the face please.

*not Michael bay's butchery*

I'm not even a fan of original, but they lost me instantly when the first movie came out, and it was a GM commercial. Camaro Bumblebee was bit much for me.

Dunno why the GT40 gets so much attention from HW in this line, it hardly featured in the film, but the way they keep pushing it, you'd have thought it raced the Supra at the end of the first movie!

 

[domalorite]

*not Michael bay's butchery*

That is the biggest travesty in the history of traverties. Ruining the G1 Transformers with the crap that he did just makes me cry. I’m crying now even...

 

[Spacegoat]

Does this mean you're thinking about ordering one? Imagine the photo possibilities!

What is supposed to go on the trailer?

Heavy machinery like a bulldozer

Black Skyline and Lambo are new but yeah surprised they don’t switch out more cars for that series.

 

[Venom800tt]

I may or may not have bought a bunch of 1/64 Kyoshos....
Now to wait till stuff arrives...
