1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Was thinking silver originally but definitely going for the black Lancer now. Looks great.

Ordering this Bluebird to go with it. Really liking the livery.

Thankful that these two aren't coming out the same month as the Spark Porsche's. That would have been expensive.

Both color looks great. I just wish they release a white version of that Evo.

That Bluebird is definitely on my wishlist. Oh god i'm addicted to TLV now, this is bad.

That's so rad!!

Oh wow. Did not think that was a real car. Too cool. 👍

Show me how to live.

I was dead set on the Evo IV when I heard it was coming, but after looking at those pics I might hang fire. For starters the wheels are far too big and as a result the tyres are too thin. The spokes on the wheels are wrong, these look more like an aftermarket wheel than the OEM OZ wheels:



EDIT: I think they dropped the ball and replicated the Evo V's 17" wheels by mistake:



Plus the ride height looks too high, it's the '17 GT-R all over again!

Hopefully they're just pre-pro' shots and this is fixed, but I doubt it...

Just pre ordered both Lancer Evos, The Bluebird and the 787B (finally getting one).

My wallet doesn't feel so good.

My wife and I went to the local toy store where the owner of the store knows us as regulars. They had the black and gold 50th set so we bought all 6. As we were paying for them the owner told us he'll give us the gold Camaro he'd been keeping in the back since he knows us as good regulars!

Newest batch of 1/64's:

 

[ScottPuss20]

Yeah but do we have to install the spoiler ourselves?

That would be an instant turn off for me.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Found a Johnny Lightning EVO

 

[Spacegoat]

Wouldn't put it past them.

Just realised that the spotlights on the front of the Bluebird will probably have to be installed.

Finally got one that isn't criminally overpriced.

Sneak peak for you guys. Custom Tomica Ferrari 488 GTB Spectraflame red.

Probably the finest custom Tomica I have bought. All this time I’ve been collecting diecasts it’s always satisfying to buy a high quality custom Tomica.

However as all good things must come to an end, unless a really spectacular custom comes out in the next month, this will be my last. Good way to go though.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Not digging the wheels on that Tomica Ferrari.

 

[domalorite]

It’s Ferrari month

Swap the wheels .

Wheel swapped Tomica are the bomb.

 

[domalorite]

Swap the wheels .

I don’t deny mainline Tomica wheels are not very attractive. That’s not what mainline Tomica’s are about.

I wouldn’t swap the wheels though. If you knew how much some of these are, you would never put a drill or pliers near it.

Part 3/3 of part 1 of Ferrari month goodness. Are you ready for part 2?

Picked up these two Matchbox's on a whim, while doing some shopping. Honestly could not be more impressed with both. Great castings.

These actually look quite nice, especially for Auto World. It would happily sit next to a TLV.

I already say that Auto World is like the American equivalent to TLV. And it's crazy that they only sell for $5-6 USD.

Next Fast & Furious set. The Chevelle's are nice, not too keen on the other 3. So many other cars they could have picked, like the Camaro and Challenger from 2 Fast, and even the Black Charger for the 10th time...

I still haven’t found the second fast and furious set with the RX7/ and Eclipse. They might have trouble with some of the licensing for the other cars.

Hello guys! I know I don't post here very often anymore, but I got some good stuff to show!

My brother recently saw a post on Facebook Marketplace for a lot of 42 of the Hot Wheels Connect Cars for a very reasonable price. Me and my brother used to collect these together back when they were new and we wanted to get them all, but sadly we never did. So we went out just today and met the seller and then we bought them! Here is what all we got:

This is great because now not only do I have some I wish I had bought back in the days, but me and him also have ones we never even saw on the pegs! Which means we now have 42 out of the 50 in the series! (51 if you include the Washington D.C. Tahoe) Pretty happy with all these overall. Me and him have already split who gets what and later on we're going to open them and put them with the rest of the ones we own. Hopefully one day we'll complete the set!

If anyone wants any closeup pictures of any of these castings, let me know and i'll post them!

Just like scale model cars the future of 1/64 metal diecast is resin

 

[CodeRedR51]

Umm, what? How are these bidding so high? Did I miss something? Not complaining as they are mine and I am getting rid of them but I never thought they would sell for that.

Hot Wheels likely won't be going to resin though.
