1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Sonygamer455]

Okey unfortunately i don't live anywhere near them stores and i almost never go anywhere near them on occasion Wal Mart however does have some of those batmobiles in separate blisters but there nothing like the ones ya'll posted, not as decorative
EDIT: They omitted the 1989?

Yeah, the standard sized(in special Batman packaging) ones at Walmart also doesn't have the 1989 Batmobile. I'd guess it may have something to do with copyrights, but I don't know. I'm just really disappointed!

I can understand that, did they ever make the '89 at all as a Hot Wheels car?

Yeah, I think 2003 line up had one? I've looked on eBay, and they were affordable at first. As soon as I lost or missed an auction or two, their price skyrocketed. I think they go for close to, or around ten bucks now.

 

[Nessy]

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

It's not actually that hard to guess the scale...

Let's imagine a tractor rig/truck, which looks the same in size like a regular HW/MB car casting, although the truck looks the same size as the car, good chance is, it's probably 1/90 to 1/80 in scale.

When i was really young, i refused to play with mismatched scale cars/ trucks (well, within reason).

Wow i'd be mad to! Must be discouraging. These batmobiles ya'll posted, how much are they at Target?

 

[CodeRedR51]

No idea at Target. I paid $7.99 each for mine.

 

[a6m5]

I honestly can't remember, but I also think it was about $7.99, but it was buy 2, get the second one for half off.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Well i find that alittle expensive. Sometimes i think they judge the price by the size of the packaging

Me to, im 19 now and im still the same way Same goes for other toy car brands for me as well.

They are expensive. I saw that second one 50% off thing, and I got impulse-buy-ed into it. I don't even care a whole lot about these Batmobiles.

As for the scale matching a play toys, that goes without saying.

Hi guys...since my regular buys can't impress you guys, here's some Boulevards.

And here's some pretty photos.

I've got more

 

[CodeRedR51]

I got the Willys too. That and the Porsche 914 (which I have yet to find) are the best of the newest bunch.

 

[a6m5]

914 is the only one I'm after. I swear Hot Wheels is going out of their way to mess up some of these cars for me! j/k

Like the T-Bucket(?), for example, if it was the standard black w/flames or something, I'd bought the thing twice by now. I like the car, I just can't do yellow.

 

[Cano]

The drag merc looks cool with that paint job.

 

[Spacegoat]

Man, if I could find any Boulevards down here. I'd be all over that Drag Merc and T-Bucket.

Yea anything that ain't Hot Wheels, i could care less about. I never really was into Matchbox or any other brands. I did collect a few Matchboxs back in 2003 mostly because i liked that "Hero City" thing they did, but in 2004 i kinda fell out of it and that was when i started building my collection of Hot Wheels.

Nice!👍 I've seen them Boulevards, i just haven't bothered to get them, been busy collecting other cars. Curious, but how are you getting such good pictures like these? They look so awesome!

I got the Willys too. That and the Porsche 914 (which I have yet to find) are the best of the newest bunch.

I got both the Porsche 914's from the hot ones series, 2011 and 2012! Awesome Car!👍

Honestly yellow is my favorite color. I hate to disappoint you but the 2012 hot ones series Porsche 914 is yellow and red. (assuming you haven't seen it)

 

[a6m5]

No way, Jose! That car is ORANGE! And I like Matchboxes for their more accurate castings.

Really? Well frankly i think it's yellow or maybe yellowish orange. Whatever you want to call it As for the Matchboxs, I know what you mean.

Actually, I thought you said Boulevard, but you were talking about the "Hot Ones". I didn't even know they had the 914 in the series, but I'm not a big fan of the car anyway.....

Yea that Porsche is in both 2011 and 2012 hot ones series. I got them both! As soon as i can figure out how to post pictures, i will post them up.

 

[Cano]

You're wrong. Am65 is talking about the 914:

You are talking aboout the 917:

big-ass difference.

 

[a6m5]

Am65

I do have that 917. In either yellow or red, I forget.

 

[Cano]

Silence or next time you'll be AM 6:05

That's when I should get up every morning! notice how that's worded. lol

 

[Cano]

That's when I arrive to work. Now keep collecting.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Is that bad I'm becoming obsessed with the Toyota Crown now...?

Found one with free shipping starting at 99 cents!

Grr, want a scale model of it badly now.

That's Mexico Standard Time though, that's apples and microsoft oranges.

Bad? I don't think so. Unhealthy, I think so.

 

[AOS-]

With a cruddy point&shoot 4.1MP camera. Not even lying.

You just need to put some lights on a clean backdrop. As for what I did in particular, one overhead lamp for ambient light, stacked LED flashlights in the back covered with tissue paper to diffuse the light partially, and another flashlight I held above.

Don't expect that to stay at that price. That'll be 8 bucks before you know. I expect it to go in the 10-15 bucks range.

 

[f1reb1rd]

Can anyone tell me if there was ever a Mega Duty TH that had a paint job like a tiger?
