1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[diabolicwyvern]

I'm saying a lot of bad words. Pink Capri duplicates? I'd be interested to see that big cement mixer. And the Tomica taxi, man tht is minty. And the Corgi M3, that's cool. I have it in Canon race car livery in orange, but it's a late model China car with the late wheels and plastic frame. Yours is a Wheezwheels or a Juniors, right?

Great bunch, dat.

The Capri on the bottom row is orange. All the cars on the bottom row are in played condition, so I didnt bother with individual pictures. So, you've got the #44 Cannon BMW M3? Is yours in the goofy mini blue box. I'd like that one....anyway the BMW M car I bought ( for $2 ) just says CORGI Made in Gt Britain on the bottom. No car name, no years, no model number....nothing that identifies the diecast. Its noticeably heavier than similar sized cars from other manufacturers.

I got them for that reason. I just need the time and space to do them properly. Whens the Mexican club show on Cano? Id love some of the club cars if you could get them.

You want a Mexico club car? I think I can arrange that, let me ask around what cars are still available and what will this year's car be, and I'll let you know. they're not cheap at all, though.

My M3 is loose but minty, it came in with about a dozen other Corgis. And if your car doesn't say anything in it's belly, then it's also a late model, but not as late as mine, it's still british.

I think six bucks is a pretty good deal for the Treasure Hunt, considering. A lot of people paid more than that online, then paid for the shipping. Unless you know the right sellers, I don't think you'll find it for $2 around here.

Yeah I would happily pay $6 for a TH. I'm one of those people who have paid a little more than that for a TH online.

Matchbox Superkings Mercedes 190E with many great details.

Very nice, I wish mine was in that kind of condition. (at least your's has a steering wheel )

Not enough red cars for ya?

Can never have enough red.

Thanks for that Cano. Send me a message and let me know how youd like me to pay for it and Ill send you my postal address.

Just found out that my Super TH Chevelle is the harder to find variant with Grey interior.

Corgi BMW

I want it!

Is this an error on the Hot Wheels Wiki or is it actually true? The wiki says there's a 2012 Speed Machines McLaren F1 GTR. And...since I missed out on the original Speed Machines, I'm rather excited for this. However, I'm not too sure it's true.

New sneak peeks!

Medigo - I posted a picture of the Speed Machines F1 GTR a few pages ago - actually bought it a few months back - still in package. Very nice quality.

Lucky...

Going out to the open flea market that should have just opened this month. Hopefully I'll find some good stuff.

Well, Good Luck! Or at least think positive.
That was the only one I've seen so far on the Speed Machines pegs; obviously the rest snapped up by all the forward-thinking HW Flea Market vendors.

I was out and about this morning and came upon a high school flea market. Here's what I came up with for $20 even.

Part 2.5: Bonus Flea Market Finds

NIB Convertables!

Majorette Kenworth Tow Truck

A couple London Buses

Working W. German Darda Mercedes!

Kidco Toyota-- 50 cents worth of plastic, but c'mon. It needed saving!

Matchbox Police Launch-- This time it's a dollar worth of plastic!

HW Mercedes 500SL (Corgi)

One of my top ten favorite castings >> Chevy Citation!. I'd like to paint one black w/white accents someday.

Crack-ups Blind Sider

[Cano]

Oh got damn, that off a school flea market? Awesome. And for 20 it was a freaking steal! The Citation is in amazing shape, and that Majorette tow truck is pretty cool, too. You darned lucky sob!

 

[diabolicwyvern]

The Tow truck and Corgi Bus were in a box of tonka and Nylint stuff, so when I pulled them out the guy hadnt priced them. He priced them for me 2/$3.00. The bulk of the money I spent was on the Convertables. They were 2.50/piece. Everything else was either 50 cents of $1.

Tonight I will have my Part 3/4: Mainline HW/MB post up...so somthing to look forward to!

 

[photonrider]

Can never have enough red.

This has to be the most delicately perfect parry to an unexpectedly petulant and cumbersome thrust. Bravo. I can't help eating the red ones first, myself.

DW - Wonderful contributions, and as usual a huge variety of unusual cars. Need to examine all at length soon - that Citation is a keeper.

Freaking steal. Very cool. I'll look forward to your post.

So the McLaren's are what's left on your pegs? (Apologies if I misinterpreted it, got a rather painful headache at the moment) Any extras?

Unfortunately the flea market wasn't open, even though it states that it's open on the weekends during May....

Went to walmart instead and STILL no J Case with the STI's and S2000s. But I did buy another LoPro. This counts in this thread, right?

Apologies for the picture, it was a quick shot.

Quick shooter....

That's a hot ride, take it out take pretty pictures, put it back in, put it in a time capsule for 16 years. Take it out, sell it. 👍

Unfortunately, the case was pretty difficult to take apart carefully, mainly because I was in a rush. So I won't be able to put it back in, but I still have my matte black Corvette ZR1 in it's case. Might go for the Murcielago Roadster next time I buy one.

 

[Spacegoat]

Majorette Kenworth Tow Truck

Dude, that is awesome. What an absolute steal. 👍

So you're not only a quick shooter; you're also impatient with shaky hands too?

MAINLINE Hotwheels and Matchbox

Blue Cards

A Thunder Roller and Mercedes 300TD on card--no complaints here!

Who doesnt want a Commando? The other three are my second of each, so I'm opening them up for my jammers!

This is a duplicate for me, but at $4 with the Protecto?? How could I leave it?
I mean who makes these prices? I'd like to send them a thank you note.

​

 

[CodeRedR51]

There's one more at the flea market if you want.

Condition? Price?

Give me Miata!!

 

[Antonisbob]

Those blue-card Hot Wheels & that Workhorses HW.

4 bucks is a steal! Where did you get it? I'm guessing too far for me.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Sad thing is I remember playing with all of these cars when I was little and they are all long gone.

Still working on my inventory list. Almost half way finished now.

Edit: Finished with half of it. Should get the rest done this week. Link in sig.

Yep, I don't have a F1 GTR myself and I was looking for one for years!!!

I hoping it's comming out soon. Man, I gotta have mah F1. By the way, those three new cars are fine, I'll keep the hawk eyes open. 👍

It's called parents moving about...

When mine are about, I'm fast like lighting. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Didn't someone in here post a photo of that F1 GT-R before? Pretty sure someone here has one. (I might, will have to check when I inventory my Speed Machines)

 

[Madertus]

McLaren F1 is absolutely a must-have in my collection. I hope I'll catch it somewhere in Poland...

 

[AOS-]

To all those who wanted an F1 GTR so badly, you should have told me longgg ago. There used to be and still are F1s around here.
