1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[homeforsummer]

Another came through the post today:

I'd not have removed it from the blister pack, but the seller on the ebay ad had mentioned that the pack had split anyway, so I didn't mind.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I've decided that I'm going to start buying the Matchbox multi-packs with the nicer cars in them. They have crap mostly for singles this year, seems all the good cars are in the 5 & 10 packs.

 

[homeforsummer]

Can't remember what run the Cougar was from, but they also did a Citroen DS and an Alfa Giulia Sprint, both of which I really ought to get.

It would seem so. I just hope they have a good stock over here; Matchbox 5 packs are usually not common here -_-

There's also another pack which has a Chevelle, E Type, DS, Austin Mini van and a Ford F-100 Van.

Sounds like the same one as I'm describing, but they sold all those individually too.

@Spacegoat: Congrats on the GT86 bro. It looks good, but I'll buy both red and silver 86s, cause I can't chose between the two .

Yeah, I like it so much. I plan on ordering a red one as well, once the other Tomica's I ordered yesterday arrive. 👍

Interesting to see more shots of the 86. Looks okay but wheels let it down.

That's the only thing I dislike about it. The casting and paint are quite nice but those wheels are horrid.

Something is missing from this thread...
Hotwheels!

--Close up pics of my 75% OFF antique mall FINDS--

With the tremendous sale going on, I paid no more than $1.67 for any one car!!!! Goodness me, the Mint Lickety Six was just $1.25, the Pennzoil Hauler was $1, the Minty XJS was .75 the Matchbox Chopper Stingerod was .25...the list goes on and on!

The Mintys

The NM to Filler Cars

New Arrivals from eBay
Fresh Pulls from the good ole days!

 

[MedigoFlame]

I forgot.

From the looks of the bidders, I'm guessing jgancherjr wasn't the winner. Well, there's always another time. That lot looked like such a deal and it really didn't matter that they were all loose. A small downside to an otherwise awful day today.

Nice purchases diabolicwyvern, in the picture right under the title The Rough Ones, is the blue car right of the Porsche 928 a first generation Toyota MR2?

I've decided that I'm going to start buying the Matchbox multi-packs with the nicer cars in them. They have crap mostly for singles this year, seems all the good cars are in the 5 & 10 packs.

Doing the same as well. Bought the 10-pack earlier just to get the Panamera, Ghia, and Mustangs just because they were so much better than the singles. Unfortunate downside with the packs is the vehicles you don't want.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Yes. Unfortunately this one came with the hideous MB Laser wheels but as I paid .60 for it I dont mind. I've actually got one stripped right now in preparation for painting, although its 4th in line.

Holy.......

Sweet car!!!! 👍

P.S. I ordered another $7.50-ish Tomica yesterday:

TOMICA #50 HASEMI EVTO GTR 2009 SEVAN SPEC CAR DIECAST

Scroll the page down for the pics. For me personally, it's much cooler than the R33 that I have, or the 86, or Swift that we bought. I think the decal/stickers are included!

I have a nephew.

You are lucky, my nephew show very little interest in Hot Wheels these days. In fact, he's given me a handful of cool cars as "prizes", when we play games(same one's I bought him lol). On the down side, now the toys I buy him cost a little more!

 

[MedigoFlame]

I have a nephew.

Lucky... Majority of my little cousins have grown out of toys and are now into video games...

Awesome purchase on the Super GT GT-R a6m5, but as stated before. Those wheels are ugly. If it's cooler than the R33 and you don't like it anymore, I'll take it. Kidding!

 

[jgancherjr]

Fell asleep 45 mins before the tomica collection 4 on eBay ended lost by 50 cents :/ .. But on a good note got the hotwheels DW-1, corvette treasure, and my 4th M2 Machines boss 302 today

 

[commodoreben]

I got both collection 2 & collection 4 of those Tomicas on ebay. I cant believe I got collection 4 for only $6.50 US and I got collection 2 for $21.50 one more bid on that and I would of missed out on it.

 

[Shigegaki]

Where do you guys the custom wheels for your cars?

Really? Thought someone else not on gtplanet won it. Trade? Please?

Already asked this question in the Customizing thread, more suitable there. And already responded to it.

 

[commodoreben]

I'll have to wait for them to get here first and I can have a proper look at them. That could take a while though, Ive had things take a month or more to get sent from the US

Aw ok, probably best to have a look at them first. I can wait that much time, though I could possibly forget. Remind me when you get it, since I'm itching for some of that lot (Classic JDM forever!) and I'll be happy to trade.

Heading to Pennsylvania tomorrow for my cousin's wedding. Doubt we'll be stopping by any stores to buy hot wheels though.

 

[commodoreben]

I'll let you all know when they get here but if I dont have the car already its going to stay with me although there seems to be some doubles in there so you might be in luck Medigo

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

Oh yeah, forgot to PM you commodoreben. Might as well say it here so everyone can be informed. If anyone cares about about errors or variations, Australia has "exclusive" variations and some errors that are found in multipacks there. Mainly 20 packs. Heard of them being found there at Toys'r'us and Kmart, I think. Pretty sure they are hard to find too. Just letting you know. And also hoping you stumble upon the grey Datsun 510 with gold J5 wheels.

I actually made a list...and wish list of the cars in the lot. Might help. 👍 All 18 of them accounted for.

Counting from the picture...

3 Hakosuka Skylines
2 Orange 240Zs w/black hood
1 White 240Z
2 White Toyota 2000GTs
3 White Mazda RX-3s
1 Alfa Romeo 75
2 Honda S600/S800?
1 Lamborghini Countach
1 Isuzu 117 Coupe? (Hard to tell)
1 Isuzu....coupe? (Beige car, hard to tell)
1 Mazda RX-7

Mainly want one of the Hakosuka, RX-3, 2000GT, 240Z, Alfa Romeo 75, RX-7, and S600/S800. Great, now I can't sleep thinking about these. And yet they said collecting is sort of a healthy hobby, it's 3:20AM here.

 

[SVX]

2 Orange 240Zs w/black hood

IIRC, the 240Zs with the black bonnet are a special edition (in real form). I'm pretty sure IRL they came with a straight six engine? I may be completely off, though.

Ill keep an eye out for them but the nearest Toys R Us is about 2 hours away from me so I dont get there allot and the K-Mart near me doesnt re stock there Hotwheels allot and Id be happy to trade the multiple cars with you Medigo but the singles are staying with me especially the Lamborghini

They are the 432,a limited run sporting the S20 engine found in the GTRs of the time. A 432R homologation thingie was also built, which was lighter or something. Less than 600 or so were made, and they go for well over 100k today.

Yeah, i'm getting into those packs in Matchbox also. But they cost more, espically the 10 packs. But the problem is, I have to find something to do with the unwanted cars though.

Yep, R1600 you're lucky. All of my younger siblings are older now and into other things and if I invest into these packs, I'm got to do something with those uneeded cars.

Can't remember what run the Cougar was from, but they also did a Citroen DS and an Alfa Giulia Sprint, both of which I really ought to get.

I think they were made from Matchbox in 2010 or 2011. I'm not sure, but I have seen them before.

Yeah, I like it so much. I plan on ordering a red one as well, once the other Tomica's I ordered yesterday arrive. 👍

That's the only thing I dislike about it. The casting and paint are quite nice but those wheels are horrid.

What other Tomicas you got coming? Is it the Subaru STi GRB-1 Sedan?

Holy.......

Sweet car!!!! 👍

P.S. I ordered another $7.50-ish Tomica yesterday:

O_o A Super GT GTR from Tomica!!!! Now that's a nice looking racecar cast from this company. But the wheels need to be swapped IMO.

But are you keeping the R33? If not, let me know .

@diabolicwyvern: Nice cars you have there, espically the 928 and that AW11 MK1 MR2 .

@Ben: Congrats on the winning bid on eBay. I can't wait to see the cars.

 

[Spacegoat]

Exactly, I couldn't help myself, I had to get one. I also picked up a Suzuki Swift Rally car , as well. 👍

P.S. I ordered another $7.50-ish Tomica yesterday:

Now, that's really cool 👍

I like that. I like the new Beetle in general, and that model works well.
