1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[CodeRedR51]

Casual stop by Walmart ends in disappointment as usual. Looks like I missed the Boulevard R33 and of course the only Matchbox transport missing was the Tesla.

he was also selling some RS200's like image I posted above.

Complete your collection with whatever I have! Still looking for a new home.

@AOS-

🤬

Was able to find a Tesla truck

also found 3 new Superfasts

Forgot to post these last weekend but completed the Mustang set and found some D case cars at a Target.

 

[GTboyz]

More details of the Mini GT C8 Corvette. Also coming soon is the Bugatti Vision GT in 1/64 scale.

Majorette stepping up their game!

Dammit.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Dammit.

Only one Walmart had it so I grabbed it.

 

[BLiTZ]

Dammit, just got stung with customs charges on the IG R34.

£8.46 + £12.00 for Parcelforce's handling fee (been a while since I've paid customs through PFW, has the handling fee gone up?).

Effectively puts the price at 150%

Dunno if UK customs are tightening their belts, I've just been unlucky lately, or if it has something to do with my new work address (as they buy a lot of goods from abroad and might be on the radar)?

...worth it though!

Incredibly sharp casting, pictures don't really do it justice. I'd say the only things that let it down are the painted (rather than moulded) front indicators and the wheels which aren't quite right shapewise, seem a tad too big and lack the NISMO decals (Tomica manage on the GT-R NISMO). Other than that, by far my best diecast of 2020!

Only other models I'm desperate to order are the Tomica Premiem R31 and the two Tomica Evo RS's in March. I'm trying to cut down on my diecast spending.

Once again HW supplies locally seem to have gone stale again. I wouldn't mind picking up a 22B or the 850, but haven't come across either (both local supermarkets seem to be stuck on the cases with the red Z32).

Yes the Ignition Models are quite expensive. For that reason, I can't justify buying a heap of them. Besides, they sell out really quickly on Ami Ami

 

[redhed17]

Is there a site which has lists for the rarity or importance of car models?

I'm particularly interested in older cars from the 70's, 80's and 90's. I don't think I would have anything of any value, especially with no packaging, and signs of wear and tear, but it would be nice to know if I have anything 'significant' for any reason.

Because they stop making them afterwards and prices, at least with 1:18s, always goes up. These cost a lot less than they do, so it's very much possible that those collectors who wish to spend less will aim for the little ones.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Wrong thread. It's been awhile

Do the wheels roll?

Do the wheels roll?

Must admit I've not had it off the plinth. If they do imagine they'll be tight.

Found a new antique store that had a decent selection of Hot Wheels/Matchbox. However...they were priced from $4-$5. I bit the bullet and picked up a Matchbox Morgan Aeromax. (The vendor decided it was a good idea to punch holes in the cards to put price tags on... Luckily I plan to open it anyways) Was rather surprised to find the F&F cars after visiting 3 Targets and only found the Silvia and City at Walmart. The JH3 cars had some badly damaged packages, but managed to get a damaged box discount of $4.50 each.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Finally found a Nissan garage set but the box was damaged.

thankfully all the cars were still in the box.

 

[VXR]

I had to resort to a reseller because Matchbox are hard to come by around here, but for such a sweet casting it was totally worth it.

 

[GTboyz]

Hobby Japan 1/64, June release.

I forgot to say AOS-, thanks for the offer. I have all I want atm though, unless something truly stunning catches my eye.

 

[GTV0819]

I wonder where I can get this.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Well look what we have here....

 

[GTboyz]

 

[GTboyz]

Found this error just today. Close enough

 

[CarGuru]

Didn't expect to find this, it was the only one at my Walmart. Much cheaper than I expected it to be as well.
