1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[ScottPuss20]

Sorry for the double post but I got some more cars this morning:

I bought 3 of these Civics to hopefully sell for a profit:

They're made by a brand called One Model which is Chinese and I gotta say that the quality is very good for the price. The Koenigsegg may be missing a headlight cover but the casting is top notch. So are the Civics, but they all have their light covers so it's better still. Each of them cost $38 which is a bargain and I'll be looking to sell them for $75. Civics are hot at the moment so I'm confident that I can sell them.

Got this in the mail today! Going to customize it pretty soon. It's going to make me a little sad to strip the paint off of this one because I love the Auto City series, but it's seen better days and after all, I did buy to fix it up anyways.

Hit a million stores today and this is all that I found.

That's the exact same stuff I've found locally. Plenty of Ford sets and just one lone Delorean left on the pegs... One of my local collector friends had found the F&F Premium set with the Supra (but didn't find the R34). That was almost 3 weeks ago now.

My Slide Street order finally arrived. Might pre-order the new Modern Classics set too because that EVO is going to be HOT and absolutely impossible to find in stores.

Tomica Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport arrived just now. Shot it alongside a Matchbox Bugatti Divo.

Not in my area. 😂 I'll have to order another box...

Found a super chase yesterday.

Found this on IG. So excited for these.

Not the greatest picture as I took it in my car quickly. Managed to find the recent Matchbox releases at a local department store franchise we have in Maine. Unfortunately they charge $1.10 for their HW/MB and mostly stock just mainline stuff. Managed to find 2 Super Chase Corvettes.

I just want the Tesla. I've found everything else but that one, go figure.

I just discovered these today and I must have them. They have 4 sets available now, with the 5th coming out at the end of the year.

1. Vol.1 Takumi Fujiwara Toyota Trueno AE86 vs Shinji Inui Trueno 2Dr AE86
2. Vol.2 Ryosuke Takahashi RX-7 (FC3S) & Rin Hojo Skyline GT-R (BNR32)
3. Vol.3 Keisuke Takahashi RX-7 (FD3S) & Go Hojo NSX(NA1)
4. Vol.4 Ryuji Ikeda Fairlady Z (Z33) & Hiroya Okuyama Silvia (S15)
5. Vol.5 Kobaikai MR-S & Minagawa Hero Supra (JZA80) (coming soon)

I can imagine they'll be hard to find, if I get the chance, I could grab one for you if you'd like. That's if they're still there.


Went out towards Western Maine where there's nothing but a casino and old drag strip in the woods. Honestly a very redneck area (yes, for the north east) but they had one Walmart that I almost never got to. Mostly because it's so far out of the way, it's not really worth making the trip for just the one store. But managed to find two full sets of Slide Street after stopping by during a work trip.

Not the greatest picture quality but the casting itself is amazing IMO. Tempted to erase the white stripe decal but I'm afraid of accidently removing the Ford logo as well.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Guessing it's not exactly possible to get an RLC membership and try to buy the RLC Hakosuka Skyline within half an hour of it coming out? Honestly making me consider getting a membership.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Got mine. 🙃

On a long road trip right now, finding a bunch of these all over. (After I already bought a set from ebay) Keep an eye out.

I recently found those and a full set of the Formula Drift series too. Now I need the case with the Bugatti eb110 which I haven’t seen in stores yet.

[CodeRedR51]

This is amazing.

 

[ScottPuss20]

This is amazing.

It's quite similar to my collection in terms of overall variety.

Edit:

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Recent hauls, mostly new matchbox barely any new hot wheels besides premium stuff.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I've seen a bunch of those Ford sets on my trip, and a few of the Fast & Furious sets which I believe are fairly old? Never found the Skyline set and still not willing to pay $50+ for one on eBay either.

Found parts of the set, but of course the R34 is always the one that's missing. Glad to finally have gotten the Supra, despite the rather ugly paint job/tampos.

Love the Bronco and MR2 Matchbox cars, but never found those among that case. Hoping the later release next year would be easier to find.


Went to Texas to visit family, but also use as an excuse to check out what there was for diecast stores there. Local stores in Maine have been lackluster for a while, then of course refreshed while I was down in Texas. Targets and Walmarts were basically ransacked in Texas, but I managed to get one F&F A90 Supra. Snagged some P case HWs when I got home and thankfully found the F1 and EB110 which I was sure would be scalped. (Last release of the EB110 N case was being sold at the local flea market for $5...)

Visited a few hobby stores in Texas, JCar diecast where I got the MiniGT Aventador SVJ and the Z3M Roadster. Also visited the Hobbytown USA franchise which had an alright amount of 1/64s, but more 1/18s.

I’m still seeing the Fast and Furious box sets like this in some stores.
