1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[yabiggoose]

That could be due to Greenlight borrowing GMP/ACME's mold to make it. They've got the best casting for this model at the larger scale.

Did they? I didn't know that. Would explain it though.

 

[AOS-]

I can't confirm its this is true if they really took a 1/18 mold and did some voodoo to create a smaller scale version mold, but I have learned that at the 1/18 scale, sharing molds between different companies is pretty common.

 

[shellac10]

That makes sense. I was referring to the 1/64 scale version though.

@a6m5. Is this more worse than what you experienced?

I do not get where this AK location is coming from.... It went from China to US in minutes, and back again?! Daaaamn son.

 

[a6m5]

@AOS- Well, it's local time, so China time was probably many hours ahead of Anchorage. But yes, that's all over the frigging place.

I actually got on here, because I saw the lowest price for the set of Gran Turismo cars if anybody's looking for a set.

 

[AOS-]

Can't be local time relative to each location. Something can't be in the US on May 26th in the evening and arrive to China at May 26th in the evening. That's going back in time.

I wonder if there's another USA only China knows.

God that is tempting for the R34 and F1 alone.

Ah, I didn't see that. Could be wrong scan, or maybe their software or website got information all scrambled up.

You could always trade, or sell what you don't need.

Excited to see some real hot wheels of course the category they do for Detroit is muscle cars I think it’s a cars and coffee style show so anything can come

Same day as they drag race on Woodward it would be funny to see some of the hot wheels cars drag race each other like the boneshaker vs twin mill but I think they get trailered to each event

I hear ya, but it's not that. It's more so my commitment to zero online purchases for small cars. All I can do is hope that I find stuff in any of my monthly/bi-monthly Walmart visits.

Okay, my first TLVN is coming, i missed the preorders on the RX7 sadly.

Edit : does TLVN have any flaws, quality control issues i should know about?

Rarely. What do you have incoming?

 

[a6m5]

Amiami rarely run out of TLV preorders, and when they do, they seem to comeback for really short time, randomly. Japan Booster probably still take preorders, too.

I just checked amiami, and they have all three available. As far as online go, they have the best prices on most TLVs.

P.S. Like shellac said, quality issues are rare with TLVs..... Unless you get one of those fancy 787Bs.

Ordering through amiami would suck my wallet dry because of the shipping cost lol. One of the crappy traits of living in Indonesia.

2016 Nismo GTR in grey. Based on the photos, i'm not quite fond of the over-metallic paint, but i can't find the white one so this one will do.

How much is shipping from Japan to Indonesia, and at what shipping method? I'm legitimately curious based on your impression.

Same. From the U.S., international postage is ridiculously expensive. My amiami postage from Japan, it's so low, they sometime rival that of domestic shipping within the U.S. It's crazy.

Hah I found out what that Hot Potato parcel business was about.

Check it:

Does this top your 787Bs?!

 

[a6m5]

What is this.

 

[AOS-]

IG 1/43... Matsuda Street Version. Wine Red. Limited Edition. 140pcs. $159USD

Crooked wing AND asymmetrical splitter. I am so freakin' let down by this.


edit: GAAAAASP I posted a non 1/64!

 

[a6m5]

One near-hangup about leaving the hobby was the entry of Ignition Model to 1/64 market. This puts my mind more at ease.

Hey, that doesn't look that bad for 1/64.

Oh it's 1/43.
Oh dear.

 

[GTboyz]

Wow that's IG? What a letdown.

 

[AOS-]

If I can't get a refund from them, I'll wait it out and see if I can get back most of my moolah by next year. Hopefully CAD heals up.

Happy and still mad that I completed the Eurospeed series before the cargo carriers series.

Also completed a the 50 years red lines and found a Batman series dark knight rises Lamborghini Murcielago

 

[AOS-]

Did the Murcielago even make an appearance in TDKR? Thought it had a one-night-stand (or one-day-stand) in TDK.

They screwed up, TDKR used an Aventador, replacing the Murcie.

He did use a Murcielago when he crashed it into a pickup, also it was gloss grey in the movie not matte grey.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around that image. That is insane.
