1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[MedigoFlame]

I've got my Packard still in the card. And lucky you for your stores having the Grand National and Delorean still... Meanwhile, my Walmart's boulevard's pegs are literally overflowing! Honestly, I don't know what the employees were thinking, but they just stuffed much of the current mix (Civic Si, GTO wagon, etc) onto the pegs without caring that it'd fit on the pegs. Honestly, they're even overflowing onto the shelf.

Grand National & DeLorean, I just saw a week or two ago. '32 Ford & Rigor Motor, I've seen them, but haven't run into them lately. Packard is something I'd buy, but I've never even seen it. I know Jason(R1600) have one. I think he got it for one cent.

Okay, that makes me feel better about tearing apart my '32 Ford for its wheels.
All of what I asked about are the Boulevards I own; just checking to see if they're common or not. I have the Porsche 914, but I know that's common.
I've had my Packard for a long time. Months at least, it was my first Boulevard.

I'd kill for the Goat Wagon.
The Si and its vertical wing...not so much.
There's like maybe 10 Boulevards at any given time no matter where I look for them, and they all seem to be that blasted Shelby GR-1!

Bah.

I must agree with you other guys that cussing out Canadians is valid - we are spoiled by these money-grubbing retailers.

DW still walking that dog?

a6m5 - All I can say is TG guns are not as cheap as HWs. Cardiac seems to have left town; shopping in S'pore?

The only good news I have is that I have found 3 more of the MB Calendar Girl Coke trucks - one more to complete the collection. Pics soon.

 

[OtakuTaikun]

))))) wifey picked me up another decades 86 and the boulevards 914 )))))))))))

 

[Spacegoat]

I wonder if Vspec even know about his new nickname.

Where the hell is Vspec Captain Cardiac anyway?, I haven't seen him around here for a few days. He's going to freak the 🤬 out when he does return.

P.S. Spacegoat's new sig is not rated PG at all. It's intriguing nice disgusting, but mostly sexy.

I just knew you would love it.

 

[photonrider]

Wowsers! You guys marry well.

<3 she understands that collecting hot wheels is my mistress but thats the only one

Found this on ebay.

Although its not 1:64 I thought a few of you in here might be interested in it.

 

[Sonygamer455]

About these Boulevards, i also have this rather uncommon Classic Packard ya'll are talking about and even some other Boulevards that are even more uncommon than that Packard ya'll haven't mentioned. I will get pictures up soon.

Cars like that you can't list them for what you want. Its only worth what someone is willing to pay. Start it low and watch it fly...

Most of the time it works like that indeed. But the white Z-Whiz is one of the rarest, lowest production Hot Wheels cars ever. You can't really chance it to let it go for less than what it's worth if you're willing to let it go off your hands. In this case I'd say it would be around 5k. As you can see, he has plenty of offers.

 

[undarken]

Just got these in the mail.

I looked up what that car was and I have one of those from my uncle's collection from when he was a kid. Unfortunately it's grey and not worth a whole lot.

And it most probably is not even a redline car. The green and grey non-redline 240Zs are a dime a dozen, the redlines are worth 20 bucks at mosty, maybe 50 carded. The blue one with weird tampos is worth a lot more. The white redline is the real shocker.

Also, nice buys Undarken, the Texas Drive 'em is awesome. A lot of money in that post. A LOT.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Yeah, no Redline.

 

[locoman88]

Just got these in the mail.

Had the first picture one, but it broke and was a different color.

 

[Cano]

Yeah, no Redline.

Yeah, I have those three, the grey and green one and the Speed Machines one (The early 80s series, not the supercar-oriented series you find in supermarkets today) in weird green with plastic base, which is the rarest I own. I'm still chasing a redline version and the blue one.

Yeah, offers. Pretty sure they're nowhere near the asking price.

 

[Cano]

They should be around 2k under that. He's asking a lot.

 

[AOS-]

I wouldn't pay $2000 for that.

I'd rather buy minted coins and old currency with that kind of money.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Forgot to take photos of the Matchbox I picked up last night, but you can see them in this photo. The orange Lotus Europa and the red Lotus Exige.

 

[AOS-]

I will murder for that red Exige.



edit: Waiiit a minute, that wasn't from last night. It full says Sep 9. Who you trying to fool, huh?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I told you that wasn't my photo.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Haha thats a good one! Luckly my PS Vita doesn't display dates.
EDIT: I see it's not his photo.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Saw the Exige appear on the Matchbox Cars wiki. Looks good, even has the nice 5 spoke wheels on it. Also want the Civic Type R (thought I missed out on it, but it's back!) and the Europa. My TRU still has a couple yellow Europa's laying around.

Wrong thread of course, but... I have to have it!! It pains me since it reminds me of my first car, which was the Subaru Outback, but got sold off as a parts car. So many memories of it... I'd kill to have a 1:64 scale version of it and I don't really have the time to work on those modelling kits.

Anyways, for those who want the Datsun 510 wagon. Japanesenostalgiccar.com uploaded some close ups of it.

And then there's the real life version based off of the Hot Wheels Mazda RX-7. By JDM Legends. For those who haven't seen it yet from Speedhunters or Japanesenostalgiccar.

 

[CodeRedR51]

 

[Nessy]

Somebody!.. smelling salts for R1600.

That 510 estate looks awesome! really like the wheel/car colourway.
Nice RL RX7 aswell 👍

[EDIT]
The one thing that really annoys me, is that Jun Imai (if he's the one responsible.. correct me if i'm wrong), did a really shoddy job on the AE86 & Datsun 240Z, then does really great cast models of the 510, RX7, Celica, CRX... Some consistency please Imai.
Personally think he should be made to do a re-cast of the HR & Z, if not then HW should fire him.

 

[AOS-]

I approve that colour scheme so hard.

People who want to do paint jobs on their car should do it like that.

 

[Cano]

I wouldn't pay $2000 for that.

I'd rather buy minted coins and old currency with that kind of money.

If you found that car in such a minty shape in 2,000 bucks, it would b a freaking steal. Yep, I know.

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

Damn, the 510 wagon is sick!

So glad that they added the fender mirrors. Good color too.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Can't exactly blame Jun Imai for the AE86 and 240Z, they were his early models. He sure has improved a lot though.

Anyways, after seeing R1600's matchbox, I went out right away to Target, TRU, Dollar Tree, and Walmart. Target: nothing new, TRU: nothing new, DT: Some 2011 NB Porsche 911 GT2s, and early 2012 models. And finally...

After going through the first three stores with nothing new or interesting. I was heading home with disappointment, though it was expected. Since none of my stores have updated in...what feels like a month. However, despite walking into Walmart thinking "Going to be the same old..." Surprise! The pegs were chocked full of the new(-ish?) stuff! There was one Mystery Machines, was going to pick it up for someone on the forum here...but...wasn't sure. Here's my purchases:

CTS-V
Gallardo Superleggera
Toyota Pickup
Didn't expect to find the Mars Rover Curiosity! Took the only one on the pegs.
Green Camaro ZL1, didn't realize the package was damaged until now... (Kinda wanted to collect all the color variations of the ZL1, but no Krogers, so no yellow)
And red Boxster Spyder
