1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Roo]

@BLiTZ @VXR Do you have a branch of The Entertainer toy shop anywhere near you? They appear to have loads of new stock from what I've heard. I popped in to a couple of branches near me today and they've got plenty, and it's all 3 for 2 at £1.66 each; Audis, Chirons, Skylines, McLarens etc. Worth a look if you aren't finding anything in the supermarkets.

There's one in Torquay, but a local collector posted in the South West group I'm a member of and they have nothing to write home about as yet.

Would be cool if they did the RS versions with steel wheels.

Sign me up!

Yeah, as I mentioned before, there's one in York, but they've had the same batch of cases since the start of the year.

The ones with the Red R33's, Blue R32's, KW DC2's, Bond's Mustang Mach 1 etc.

The new Miatas recently bought next to the old one that I've kept in the box for decades God, how time flies ...

They're entirely different castings, though, yes?

 

[VXR]

Decided to try The Entertainer in Torquay anyway and glad I did.

It was 3 for 2, and I gave a couple of extra Lamborghinis to my girlfriend's son.

My target is to have this one by this week. Unfortunately, it's not as cheap as it used to be anymore.

I’m still having a hard time finding N case cars. No new cars at Targets, no new dump bins at Walmarts. If they do have cars it’s either fantasy stuff or cars I already have. We’re still on M case cars for most of the stores. Did find these on Saturday glad I got the Subaru Kei truck

Also found two gold superfast cars the Camaro and 6x6.

 

[VXR]

Did some swaps with my mate back home. He found me a Chiron and RS5 and I found him a Matchbox Audi RS6.

Happy days.

I never opened the old ones, but from what I can see, yes, they are different casting.
The 2019 release is a new casting designed by Ryu Asada, the old one was designed by Larry Wood back in 1991. The 1991 casting was the 1st Mazda Hot Wheels and one of the key difference is the front turn signals are plastic, not just tampo.

I like that C-HR.

My old Boulevards could potentially go up in value now.

Early-stage nostalgia may play to my advantage.

The Entertainer toy shop

That sounds like... another sort of toy shop...

Tomica Aventador SVJ:

Hitting stores in Japan on November.

 

[GTV0819]

This is noice. Just got the S15 from the Street Tuner and Forza series. Now they're doing S13 in the mainline.

My old Boulevards could potentially go up in value now.

Early-stage nostalgia may play to my advantage.

Glad I still hold on to the 993 and the Delorean. Wish I bought the Datsun and the Skyline though.

Just discovered that the TLV “5000km to Glory” 510 says “Rally Monie Carlo” on the placard. Licensing issue or mistake? I know the ACM (the rally organizers) can be very strict about things.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Got some spare time on the weekend and spent on opening some old storage boxes that I used to keep my toys collection. Cleaning them took hours, these are just some of my oldies.

 

[GTboyz]

...indeed, will be getting the blue VI to complete the 'set'.

Not fussed for the black or red ones, would consider a white one of each if they do them. Would be cool if they did the RS versions with steel wheels.

Ikr, they should have done them with white color.

 

[Venom800tt]

New stuff:

 

[ScottPuss20]

That took too long.

I had a MINI GT Supra as part of this order originally, but I took it off as it was holding up these two cars. MINI GT are hopeless when it comes to release dates, so I'll be ordering their products separately from now on. The good news is that I finally have an Ignition Model in my collection. Wasn't cheap but I can see what all the fuss is about. Oh, and the Evo is great too.
