1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Polsixe]

New Hot Wheels Car Culture Alfa Romeo is a beauty and presents well, but seems large. Measuring wheelbase and doing some maths show the diecast is at 1/57 scale, or close to Siku 1/56. This is the gaming "28mm" scale. Other recent Car Culture offerings are also in the 1/56 range, the Cosmo and the Silvia for example. Nice, but prefer closer to 1/64 scale. A common feature to all cars is the 40-42 mm axle distances.

What scale am I? The Mattel Dream Car is a cute little thing and the bubble canopy looks like a lens. Nice quirky design and a great homage to a 1953 model. But what size would it be if such a car existed IRL? Here are comparisons to common diecast " 3-inch" scales

So I'd say it is a 1/68 Scale, that wide front end would take up a good part of a lane, cockpit looks a little cozy.
Nice car!

How hard to find is the aqua color Dodge Van right now?(2021 release?) I see them on eBay, but I can't find them anywhere locally.

Be patient. My local stores seem to be behind what other collectors are finding. Finally grabbed a Ford Lightning & the TMNT Party Wagon tonight....along with the Shell Little Red Truck.

Funny story about the Shell truck. Our local Walmart didn't have it scanned into the system. So we had to wait for an associate to help. She walks up & says she just rings them up for 98 cents. We all know they usually charge nearly $5 US for those premium Hot Wheels.

I had same thing happened to me when I used to go hot wheel hunting years ago. I didn't get a price break or anything though. 👍

I had it happen every time I get new Tomica cars they have to type it in the screen and add the price.

Haul today. Found some 2021 matchbox and GameStop exclusives

 

[CodeRedR51]

Picked these up. REALLY want AutoWorld to do something with Vanishing Point. A weathered version would be amazing.

I haven’t seen the E46 yet in stores.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just noticed that the AutoWorld Challenger I bought has a Colorado plate with "VP" on it. I see what they did there.

One of these is the four time champion unrivaled by hundreds of cars, in Columbus Ohio.

Wait, sorry, a stand in for the four time champion.

I might make a diorama soon.

2021 will definitely be...

...RUF on the wallet..That's not oCayman.

Hehe.

*ba dum tss*

With the huge popularity of 1.64 in recent years, i might consider to make a little collection in this scale in future.
The Premium Castings from Mini GT, INNO64, Tarmac and other companies are quite tempting... too bad here in Italy expect for some HW and Matchboxes it's quite rare to find those.

I thought about getting the Para64 version but since Mini GT is releasing this, I'll get this one instead.

Almost forgot that I participated in this competition earlier this year and hardly made it to the finals.

 

[GTboyz]

Damn.

 

[GTboyz]

They're getting more and more interesting.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Good to see a 1:64 NA Miata using plastic covers for lights as opposed to painted tampos.

 

[VXR]

Hopefully they do a two car launch set in red and blue.

 

[GTboyz]

They're on a roll

 

[ScottPuss20]

They're on a roll

They need to make more! I don't have any 1:64 scale F1 cars in my collection!

I'm definitely on board with this!

 

[GTboyz]

Fingers crossed the pop ups works.

 

[RCKakashi14]

My first haul of 2021.

"Pizza Trio" complete!

We Filipinos call them "pizza" mainly because of the tail light shape. It's our way of distinguishing Lancers in the 90s.
(Lancers from 1992-1996 including Evos 1-3 are called "eggs")

Damn, it looks so good.

Well use of a dirty car roof for that photo. The streaks really help create a sense of speed.

Can't unsee that now. Thanks.

Do you guys have nicknames for Evo 7 and up?

We tend to give those nicknames on normal Lancers, but giving them to Evos is also okay.

For 7-9 we call them "Cedia" based on its JDM name.

For 10 we call them as "EX".

We even have a term named "Assemvolution" - normal Lancers converted to Evos using legit Evo parts and drivetrain. They are prevalent here, to the point that used legit Evos fetch a premium.
