1/64 Model Collectors Thread

They are really close by casual observation, but if you look closely, you see a clear difference.

I was wondering about this "Fry's" deal. We've had Fry's Electronics in the area for a long time(drove by one today), but I had no idea that they were related to the grocery store by same name. We don't have their grocery chain in my area at all, but as part of the Kroger group, we get Fred Meyers.

Same here. I want a frys grocery store. I have a motorcycle hotwheel though.

All Kroger related stores are on THIS page.

 

[locoman88]

Like them?

 

[a6m5]

I like the F40. Which series is the red Ford on the left? Boulevard or something?

To be honest, I don't remember. I got it like 7 years ago made of full rubber wheels, its called Ford Concept. Might be though.

 

[CodeRedR51]

It's bigger than a mainline release, so I would say something else.

 

[locoman88]

Oh. What about the motorcycle? Like it?

 

[a6m5]

It's OK.....

Here's the new motorcycle series Ducati I saw at Walmart:

eBay

Look at the price + shipping. It's just over $2 at Walmart. You could get the whole series for what these guys paid.

 

[locoman88]

Hahaha

Does this have special rims?

 

[a6m5]

Does this have special rims?

I think the issue was the particular rims on a particular car, but yeah, those look like them!

Here's a good photo of the wheel difference on the Ferrari 599xx

Did you see what it sold for on eBay?

[a6m5]

I'd rather have the Super TH version.

Sweet!

Not special at all actually. Those wheels on the Ferrari only make it special because they're not supposed to be there. Or at least they were for a very short time before being switched to the other ones which are much easier to find. Any other car with those wheels doesn't mean anything.

Yikes.

 

[locoman88]

Aww man. Any of my cars rare?

 

[a6m5]

Like I said, particular wheels on particular car that made it unique.

 

[locoman88]

Yeah. What about cars you've seen? From me are they rare?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Nothing I have seen, no.

 

[locoman88]

This one?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Nope. Not really in mint condition anymore either.

 

[locoman88]

Mint?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Mint = brand spankin' new, no scratches, etc.

 

[a6m5]

I'm pretty sure he's been drinking. Yeah.

 

[TheeFrogmanlego]

Mint?

Torq twistin son a gun! by frogmanlego, on Flickr
thats mint . although its open ive never played with it ETC and has ZERO scratches or rust pint chips ETC ETC . Altho a ca can be "mint" with a chip since some come like that. But yea the car above is full of dirt has rubbed out rims and there rusting, so its not mint =D

 

[locoman88]

Oh okay. Dang it. I need to find rares.

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

He's hooked.

 

[locoman88]

Yes.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Yep, you're hooked locoman. Welcome to the club.

Now to find rarer cars like Super TH's or cars, error cars (cars with obvious or wierd deformities) and cars with the redline wheels. You have to have a sharp eye when browsing the cars to find that rarity.

If you need help ask anyone here or on the HWC forums and look at the YouTube vids of other collectors to help you out. 👍

Omg guys im so ecstatic right now! Went to walmart 15 minutes before close and i FINALLY found my 80s hachi rokuuuuuuuu!

Plus a yellow gt2 (supah sexy), black z4m, and in the back of the pegs there was two srt vipers just chillin'. Picked up one since im so generous lol.

Was also interested in the jonny lightning cobalt pro-stock drag car, but passed. I was also looking at some of the jada toys super beefed up 4x4s. I think there was like an H2, Suburban, and some others with super detailed huge rubber tires. The models were held together by screws so i started wondering if i could transplant some of the detailed bead-locks and mud tires onto my tacoma which, although manly, could stand to get proper dirt tires.

I'm jelly of you! The 80's AE86?!?!

ARRRREEEAAAGGHHH!!!!!!

Phew!

Here's a good photo of the wheel difference on the Ferrari 599xx

Yeah, it's easy to spot the differences between the two 599s. Since the OH5 are obvious since they are slimmer than the 599 on top and you can see the black piece acting like the car's rotors and brake calipers.

I need that 599XX sooooo bad.

Like them?

They all look cool, espically the F40. Is it a HW scale? I've never seen that one before and I had quite a few of them a long time ago.

I have the same GSX Buick also.

Did you see what it sold for on eBay?

O_o..............

Mindblown.... 45 bucks for the Ferarris? Umm, okay?

 

[OtakuTaikun]

I got that gt2 and z4 black. Which walmart? Also got viper!

Rosemead, im in so cal
