1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[MedigoFlame]

Stopped by Walmart on my way back from my friend's place to have a look. And...pegs were restocked with old stuff... However, I came across another collector and tried to start some kind of conversation with "collecting too?" -smiley face- And the guy blatantly looked at me and just said "Yeah..." Then went off into his own little world on the pegs and didn't bother to talk... Such unsociable animals. Only decent collector I've met was in Target. He took the first ever K.I.T.T. I've seen in my own store.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Sounds like he wasn't a collector. The word "scalper" comes to mind.

 

[MedigoFlame]

He only picked up K.I.T.T. and a couple of M2 Machines. Possibly?


Also, I really regret not going to yard sales, summer's coming to an end and yard sales are probably ending soon... Wish I had the time to take a look.

Welp, I've been looking at the my car collector thing on the hot wheels website and found some box art models that caught my eye

First off, the new cloak and dagger

I got the original a while ago and loved it. A new blue tint and sponsoring will be soon on my wall(unless it sucks).

The new Ford Ranchero

Ok you can see this one. It's a Ford Ranchero. It is Lime green. Must buy for me

71 Hemi Cuda

I might just get this one for the box art, HOLY 🤬 that's awesome and detailed!

Subaru Wrx STI

I saw this on someone's haul list and I want it.

Lanborghini Estoque

Pretty impressive model plus GOLD!

Chevelle SS wagon

I just need it for my Wagon collection

I might post more later

 

[CodeRedR51]

Save yourself the trouble. We've seen them all already.

Just remembered to check my mail as I was waiting on a trade from a guy on HWC.com for a couple cars. Will post pics tomorrow when I have the necessary lighting to do so.

- Ferrari 458 Italia Spider (wrong interior)
- BMW 2002 Orange (reversed windows)

 

[MedigoFlame]

Never heard about the wrong interior Ferrari 458 Spyder, any pictures?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Here's one found on HWC. It has the standard 458 Coupe interior.

On the BMW 2002, I now have a reverse window of each color, and a wheel error on a white one. So 5 versions total.

 

[MedigoFlame]

That's pretty cool with the amount of errors you've got for the 2002. 👍 Ferrari's error is a bit meh to me, but that's from the pictures. Would have to see one in person to see how interesting it really is.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I actually traded for the BMW, the guy threw in the Ferrari for nothing. I had been looking for the Ferrari but didn't think to trade for it. Now I'm looking at getting the Ford Falcon Race Car with the lace wheels, or the Ferrari 599XX with the OH5SP wheels. (thin, open spokes)

Just 1£!!!


IMG_0643 by smiglo, on Flickr

2£ for all of them (is that viper TH?)


IMG_0640 by smiglo, on Flickr

can some one tell me what are they?? as it only say hot wheels on base

and sorry guys again for not replaying to your's posts, been very busy, but I wish i could

 

[Madertus]

I think the one on the right is a Plymout Cuda, but I ain't an expert on muscle cars ^^

And that 944... Stunning!

 

[Nessy]

I think it might actually be a Challenger (rodger dodger maybe?), i really like the 944 (had that same 1), and also the Majorette Excaliber.. had 1 of those in white too. 👍

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

Nice stuff, $mig's. And to answer your question, the white car is a Sheriff Patrol and the other is a Dixie Challenger. Have them as well. And I don't think that Viper is a T-Hunt. You might be thinking of this one.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah the Viper is not a TH.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Question but i remember Hot Wheels used to have something called the connect cars series and it had cars to represent the 50 states of the USA. Anyone have any clue as to why they stopped making them?

The cop car is the classic Highway Patrol, based off a Dodge Granada or somethijg like that. The version you landed is one of the first editions from 1978. The Orange thing is a 1981-82 Dixie Challenger, based off a 1971 Dodge Charger.

 

[$miglo]

👍 OK thanks you guys 👍

you are the best )

 

[a6m5]

Finally got the 911 with orange wheels, and the Mystery Models(been calling them Mystery Cars!) '73 Falcon. Been looking awhile for the Falcon. 👍

Falcon Close-ups: 1 2 3

I think it might actually be a Challenger (rodger dodger maybe?), i really like the 944 (had that same 1), and also the Majorette Excaliber.. had 1 of those in white too. 👍

It looks nice in $miglo's pic, but even better mint!

Welcome! Feel free to share pics of the notable cars, if you feel like it. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Forgot to tell you guys I also bought the pair of 1/87 scale? Batman Tumblers from a local grocery store. One is black and the other is camo colors. Black one looks like this:

Indeed, looks real good mint, wish i still had mine, though i remember removing and losing the roof.

Sweet GT3 BTW 👍, may have to pick 1 of those up at some point.

That looks awesome R1600, and 1/87 too! 👍

If i remember correctly i think years back they used to sell little batman t shirts that came with that batmobile.

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, the roof's nice.

Jason: I thought those are larger. They are bigger than the standard hot wheels, right? I bought couple of those on sale awhile back, and I thought they were around 1/50 scale.

Edit: Yeah, quick google says 50th scale.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Where do they sell all these batmobiles ya'll got?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Maybe, I dunno. They didn't put the scale on the package so I guessed.

Edit: Sold at some Targets and I have seen them at Fry's. (local grocery store - Kroger brand)

 

[a6m5]

Where do they sell all these batmobiles ya'll got?

I've only seen them at Fred Meyers, who I believe are part of the Kroger chain.

Edit: I'm still soooooo 🤬 that they've omitted the 1989 Batmobile. As far as I'm concerned, only one relevant. Sorry for the language, but I'm so 🤬
