1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[McZachenF1138]

Nice pick ups! I'd love to have the CTS-V and the rover. My girlfriend has that Gallardo and that ZL1. I thought about getting another green ZL1 for myself but I got the dark blue one because it was the only one I saw. I have that truck too and it looks like it'd be boss on a track! I also have the white Boxster, but I'm very disappointed by its proportions.

I'd say the Boxster's fine, though I'm not a huge fan of the red model.

I'm rather confused as to how the Bentley has still never surfaced in any of my local stores. How is that possible?

Edit: Forgot to mention that I also stopped by the indoor flea market. Nothing new(Pegs were almost bare...almost empty)...however one of the vendors as listed as #94, known for having over priced models (such as the DW-1 for $8...) had some of the old Valentine's Rides singles. One that I was intrigued by was the red Porsche 959 with tampos for the headlights, taillights, and license plate. Worth the $2?

 

[McZachenF1138]

What color is it?

What color of what?

The 959. I asked that before you put the picture up. Tree'd.

Sorry about that, just edited it after looking through the hot wheels wiki.

Edit: Probably late to the party, but does anyone know about this 10SP RX-7 variation?

 

[McZachenF1138]

It's cool.
I'd say it's worth the $2 strictly because the 959 was BA back in the day and still is now.

If im thinking correctly i think that Porsche is in the wrong packaging It's says Nitty Gritty Kitty when it clearly ain't no Nitty Gritty Kitty. I have had that happen before, cars with error packagings are actually quite collectable!

It's like the F430 Spyder.

Can't exactly blame Jun Imai for the AE86 and 240Z.

Yes.. yes i can, it's inexcusable and unacceptable!
He should be burnt at the stake if he does not fix them immediately!

[EDIT]
^ Big rear wheel F430 Spyder was terrible, Boxster also does seem a little off (imo).

Would need to see where that was posted, and are there better photos? I won't believe it until I can see the base.

It was posted in the Hot Wheels Wiki. So no better pictures that I saw.

 

[CodeRedR51]

First I've seen or heard about it. Leaning towards fake...

*RX7 with white 10SP*

I'm leaning towards genuine.. white 10SP get mixed up in a tray with white 5SP pre-assembly. Wouldn't be that unusual (that's if it is an error)... could be actual production run.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Okey in response to what I said earlier about these Boulevards, here are some I have that I doubt ya'll know about because I hardly see them.

Packin' Pacer. Only seen this one once i think.

Pontiac Fiero. Haven't seen this one much at all, probably only once.

A-OK. Only seen this a handful of times.

And last but certainly not least, the Copper Stopper (what used to be called the Patty Wagon). Seen this only once and it was the only one Wal Mart had.

Are these pretty uncommon to ya'll? They are for me.

Edit: Reuploaded since I no longer need Photobucket.

An error would be 10SP wheels on the front OR rear, not both. Both would technically be a variation, of which I've never seen or heard of. Without a better photo, hard to believe it. Super easy for someone to customize it and pass it off as real.

Seen the Packer and A-OK numerous times. Never bought them though.

Yea usually when i see it there are plenty on the pegs, but only certain locations i actually see them, as for the Pacer, i can't recall ever seeing it again. What about the rest like the Pointiac or the Copper Stopper, ever seen them?

 

[AOS-]

Nope. Does that make you feel special?

 

[Nessy]

I'd feel special if i saw them on the pegs over here.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Those are all pretty old. Came and gone around here. We've been getting the new ones. (Vector, Civic, etc)

 

[Sonygamer455]

Haha well i am glad that i have them. Frankly i was just trying to figure out if they were common or uncommon because they are probly worth something.

I'd feel special if i saw them on the pegs over here.

Yea i was pretty darn amazed when i saw them, glad i got them when they were available.

Yea they are pretty old now, not so easy to come by for me, some of them i only just that one time. I still see the Ford GTX at times from last year but I haven't even seen them new ones you mentioned at all!

I was pretty cheerful to find the Easter ones even though there were only 2 different kinds at the specialty toy store.

Yea i remember back in 2008 i think they had them and many other seasonals with real riders once

Saw this at Toys R Us a few minutes ago. Is it a variation I should have bought?

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

It's funny you just posted that, McZachenF1138. Someone on HWC just found the hard to find variation to it. Here's his pic.

Cars in the pic have MC5 wheels. Yours has PR5 wheels.

EDIT: BTW, the 10SP RX-7 was found in (I think) Hong Kong, like 3 or so months ago (I think).

 

[CodeRedR51]

I just PM'd him too about a trade.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Thanks for the insight, I will definitely keep an eye out for those. 👍

I'm staring at the Dodge Caravan, '49 Drag Merc, Nash Metro Drag Car, and T-Bucket Boulevards at Walmart. Buy or no buy?

Yeah I was going to also, then midway through the PM, I changed my mind. Going to wait for something I really need to have. Ultimately, I'm running out of trade material.

Meh, up to you. I only buy what I like.
