1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

late post, but here's the stuff i bought last week, and some extras:

The muscle machines Datsun. lolwidebody

totally yellow merc C class. and the GRB recolor and focus RS. the similarities between the two castings, colors, and tampos are unbelievable (gonna get some hate)

SRT Viper, FINALLY my AE86, and the lulzacross

This one's blurry. The nasty supra, final run 911, and BMW M1

Z4GT2 recolor, GT2 911 recolor (yellow is awesome), and the plain stratos in red. Perfection.

The tomica Z34 came with some scenery (part of a sidewalk, a streetlamp, a Railroad crossing sign (idk why it wasn't a stop sign), and part of a guardrail) which makes a very japanese scene with Mad Manga. Z34 with and without top.

Picked up a couple today. my wife bought me the Z34 and evo X. picked up a redline one-77, but i opened it once i realized the redline tampos were HORRENDOUSLY off center. (failed to get a picture of it. >.> ) Also wanted to know the worth of the year of the Dragon car... it's pretty ugly, but i thought it'd be pretty cool to have.

Nice cars, I like the Supra, 930 911, M1, Stratos and the DTM Benz C-Class the most. I got to find them again, old school from the 90's and early 2000s!

And I'm real jelly of the AE86, SRT GTS Viper, 370Z Z34, GRB STi and dat Focus RS!

And the rest are cool too. But the 240Z and the Mad Manga would look good with each other in a photo similar to the one with the Tomica Z34. Some old school JDM pics.

Yea i know! Heres my other one!

I actually have several of them benz in yellow just like what was posted earlier, and no i didn't get the Red Bird, the Monster Dairy Delivery and the Rodzilla from a flea market, i got it at Wal Mart in what one of ya'll called "The Dump Bin of Death. The Rodzilla is in a one car series called "Year of the Dragon", seems valuable if you ask me.

Yea it certainly would, and yea it is called a Hot Tub, i have both of those! I got the Express Lane from one of my local toy stores, it carries alot of vehicles from the late 90's and early 2000's, good luck finding it because it is fairly old and well Wal Mart doesn't carry ones that old, however on rare occasions i do find some really old ones at Wal Mart at times.

Yeah, I had a few of the Benzes, different colors ranging from the red, yellow and if I remember correctly, a black one. I gonna try to find one again soon. And your stores STILL carry Hot Wheels and Matchboxes from the 90's and 2000?!?! ........... I'm soooooooo jelly of you!

Finally got both of my "Delivery" Custom '62 Chevy, in blue & red.

I absolutely adore it! 👍

Expect something really simple. I mean it.

Nice Chevys. Well, however you do your pics, can't wait to see them.

Went to the store to pick up some things and the stores got the new shipment of Hot Wheels with the M-Case and I FINALLY found the Ferarri 599XX!!!!! It has the silver spokes rims with the black piece acting like the brakes, not like the OH5 like R1600s. I'm still gonna pick up a few more of the 599s though. I'm just glad to find it period!

And I got the Bentley Supersport and the new Z06 C6 Vette (no GS Vette error though.) Soon I hope they will get the N case and the others, I want mah SRT Viper GTS and Red STi bad!!!

Just found this on ebay.

I was wondering if hotwheels is willing to give so much for the car then why is he selling it for so little?

 

[Cano]

Amazingly, I found the cars you guys are currently snatching up right now, the Ferrari, a couple of Monster Dairy Deliveries, the blue Boss 302 and the such. I don't know what the hell are these cars doing in here, they should have landed in a month or so. Not that I'm complaining, but it's pretty strange.

On the other hand, I'm almost set for the convention. I'm still putting prices on some stuff, but I'm almost there.

Something doesn't seem right on this one. Usually, letters from companies like that are a little bit longer, the spelling is checked much better, and standard letter form is followed much better, unless it is different in Australia than it is here. I would say stay away from this one. Please picture is horrible...you can't really make out anything.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Niiice. What store?

Fry's. (Krogers) They had a couple of the small cardboard displays that at first glance looked like old stuff. Only new cars were the yellow Camaros for the exclusive promotion. I went through a couple of the cubbies before almost giving up, but before walking away decided to flip through a few more cars. Second row from the bottom, I flipped up the front car and there was the Beetle. Bit more digging and found the Ferrari.

The second display didn't have anything.

Edit:

TOTALLY fake. Don't bid on that. Too many spelling mistakes, and someone from California would not spell color like colour? Plus, a mis-spray? Seems like your standard error to me, which according to most collectors are worthless...

 

[TheeFrogmanlego]

Just so you now the mad manga recolor tundra recolor are showing up at Walmart that dont have the angry birds.. =D the mad manga recolors so sexy!!! and the beetle is meh lol , id be going nuts if it was a nice sky blue or pastel blue

 

[CodeRedR51]

They should all be together. If you saw those, but not the red birds, that means some hoarder bought all of them.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

The hot wheels have arrived. one of the mystery lots landed me a real gem! I'll be blending the best stuff into cases and taking group pictures as taking individuals pics would be daunting.

I'm pretty sure there is a black Benz like that because I think I have seen one before, I know there is a red one, and yes I do have a local toy store I go to that carries Hot Wheels from the late 90's to the early 2000's on a daily basis. Their old ones are about the only thing they carry there, I've seen a few fairly new ones there but most of them are fairly old, but they're all in the blister packages and not loose like some other places Occasionally I find some vehicles from the early '90s and they will even bring in a good amount of Treasure Hunts for only $4.00 each!

I absolutely adore it! 👍

Well I'm glad you like it:tup: That orange one is another one I got about a year ago from the same toy store, I even made a drawing of it!

Here is my old damaged one (i believe my brother owned this one)

And here is my new one

Do you understand why I decided to get a new one?

Edit: Reuploaded since I no longer needed Photobucket and fixed my shoddy grammar from my early years.

Forgot to post these. Picked them up from Target on the way to work.

Much better on this Stepside. I'll get that one. 👍

Heres my old damaged one

You ever go grocery shopping? That is actually a pretty accurate reproduction of real life shopping carts.

Off topic, but I went to a Wal-Mart the other day that had brand new shopping carts. It rolled so smoooooooooth.

 

[a6m5]

Enjoy while it lasts. It's Walmart we are talking about!

 

[Sonygamer455]

Yes i do! To be honest shopping carts these days ether have really wobbly wheels or they make a really loud squeking noise. That old damaged one right there can't roll at all.

Thats a first!👍 Too many damaged shopping carts these days anyway enough off topic, what are some other good hot wheels like the Express Lane?

Oh my god that Z4 looks...stock! Do want...

Also, photonrider, who makes that Karmann Ghia with the trailer? That looks awesome.

 

[photonrider]

Medigo - The Karmann is a 1/120 made by Malibu. Tiny, but with exquisite detail, as you can see, for its size. I also have a Firebird from the same maker (nice quality) . . . will find and post later.

The latter five pictures are all authentic 1/64 scale Trackstars. I have these same cars in packages, too. I had triples but those were traded/given away.

It's just a complete shocker that stores still have Hot Wheels back from the 90's . You hit a complete goldmine! Are you from Cali or what state?

Dat Z4 E89. I want one.....


Nice wheels Harry, have a HUGE garage from them eh?

But I love the collection, especially the modified Skyline, Supra, 350Z and the Celica. Are they Jada Toys? I would love to find them.

I didn't even notice how tiny the Karmann is. Looks very nicely detailed for something that size.

Great photo's as always, Harry. 👍

 

[a6m5]

I'm digging the camper trailer. I don't know why, but I like campers. Riced up Supra looks good, too. When they first came out, I thought it was the ugliest Supra ever, but it's really grown on me.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Got something here the old folks might be interested in.

 

[Cano]

Cool, in pretty good condition and the Superfast version, much harder to find than the Regular wheels version, though it has the typical cracked A-posts, but at least they are still there, this model always looses them.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I've got an old Hotwheels Mercedes redline that I'm thinking of restoring, just trying to figure out how to get it apart since the old rivets are rounded over and a normal drill bit won't work.

 

[TheeFrogmanlego]

Variation alert, apparently hyper truck comes with a clear see thru wind sheild and a dark smoked version, the darker ones harder to find .

 

[CodeRedR51]

Eh, that model doesn't interest me.

 

[TheeFrogmanlego]

Eh, that model doesn't interest me.

LOL others probably do * reverb fans cough cough*

What gives, man! Yeah, it interests me.

Yes, the rounded rivvets on the redlines and up-to-early-80s cars are a pain in the rear. If I remember correctly, you use a drill, right? If you can get ahold of a Dremel, there is a line of tip that are rounded and work trough those like cheese:

You just need to be very carefull with the first touches, then they go really damn fast.

 

[MedigoFlame]

That Mercedes is awesome! Of course, I'm not one of those "old folks"

Anyways...absolutely nothing of interest. Stopped by Toys R Us, still unsure if the Green Light is a Green Machine, but...didn't feel like spending six bucks on it. Nothing else new and the 370Z Roadster and Elise were still...interesting. Walmart, basically dead. Still no dump bin, but they do have the boulevard Pontiac GTO wagon. Didn't buy that. Maisto Elite Transport's got more of the same. Viper, Foxbody Mustang, hot rods, and some other oldies. Target, had the new Mustang GT/CS, but that's about all...no BMW Z4. Overall, a disappointment for finding anything new. Ugh, might check again by the end of this week, but feeling doubts...
