1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[a6m5]

And I will be bidding on that Porsche tomorrow, im sure we can work something out for the sliver one... 👍

Sounds like a plan. Best of luck man! 👍

Uck. That wasn't me. I'm out too, I have other cars to pay.

I knew it wasn't any of the regulars here, because the feedback's very low on that bidder. I think it had just four?

Cano is right, tampo is not stamped right. What I was talking about with the "error" was the PR5 wheel on the rear.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Found this on eBay. Outbid me, and I'll kill you, unless you give me the silver one.

we'll see about that :trollface:

 

[a6m5]

we'll see about that :trollface:

Tried to keep up with us.

I'm not talking about the auction, I'm talking about the discussion & the thread.

 

[Sonygamer455]

I don't ever see any errored Hot Wheels where liive!

 

[a6m5]

I wanted that Mad Splash? But since I was limiting the numbers of hot wheels I buy, I didn't get it. Stupid. And Harry, that Wheel Loader was the construction machine thing I was talking about. I went through bunch of "fresh" bins at Walmart yesterday, and I saw only two of those. Might as well be a short print.

That's a damn shame........

Speaking of... I found a rather nice one today...

that Green NSX from early this year... found one with no wing.

Will have pics later.

well, was mainly just stalking Cano until he got over to the DYSAGT thread, but I had a camaro I loved dearly back in the day, and had a compulsive clicking fit when I followed the link to ebay. 17.17, by the way.

Not looking hard enough.

No neither do I. But if I'm honest, I never really look out for any.

This thread has just kicked into Ludicus Speed.

[jeffgoddin]

well, had a pretty hot day out there and not much has been going on in DYSAGT, so thought I'd see if people were just not around, and here you were. And then there were the porsches! mmm, yummy! And yes, if I win, I'll really send that a6m5 the silver one. I'll just need his address.... heh heh. (no really, just ask VANDENAL, I sent him a copy of GT2 and he hasn't seen me peeking in his windows yet!)

though if I had Cano's address I probably would go visit him, because I like speaking Spanish, and we could watch anime without me having to tell him he has crappy taste in anime.

 

[a6m5]

goat: I don't even know what's going on here anymore, and I have no idea what "jg" was saying to me the last two posts.

Don't worry, I'm confused too.

 

[jeffgoddin]

DYSAGT = did you see anything good today, a thread where we show pics of neat cars we see in the wild. I caught a Morgan 3 Wheeler today! And a DB6! And if you visit that thread, you should be able to catch my F150 in the background in some of my pics. Then if you see it parked on your street, you'll know I'm stalking you!

 

[McZachenF1138]

Cano is right, tampo is not stamped right. What I was talking about with the "error" was the PR5 wheel on the rear.

I didn't even notice that!
I guess I did end up feeling dumb, but not in the way I expected.

I have posted a pic of one of these I spotted at Costco before. Haven't looked in that thread in years.

If you want to stalk Cano, you found the perfect thread, I think.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Oh yeah, I got these this weekend.

I'm debating if I want to open the the Daytona Coupe. It's unpainted and looks pretty special.
My girlfriend actually found the Challenger in the middle and I forgot to give it to her before I left to go back down for school. I wanted to buy one for myself, but I didn't want to spend that kind of money.
I collect ANYTHING Dodge Challenger related because we (my family) actually owns a red 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Convertible. ​

 

[AOS-]

Yo what brand is that Zonda? I need to know.

And the Error!

 

[McZachenF1138]

It's an AutoMax along with the Nardo. The only reason why I bought them is because they're both in GT5.
Man, all of what you have there is beautiful. 👍👍👍

 

[photonrider]

Road Test:

Porsches, Porsches, Porsches.. . .

 

[AOS-]

All these brands I don't know of... grr.

 

[photonrider]

IIRC - there are over 200 current makers of 1/64s. But HW alone is reputed to have at present 50,000 different skus.

And more Porsches.. . .

 

[MarcoM]

MarcoM: Be careful. We were just talking about how fast our "collection" grew, and they all started with just couple of cars. Kenmeri, '70 Celica & Ken Block Fiesta means that you'll fit right in, too. We all seem to agree on those in here!

I have loads of other hotwheels. My little daughters play with them every now and then. In addition I also have the green and white Skyline, the JDM RX7 and the BMW 2002. And loads of others too.

I really like what Hotwheels is doing with the vintage models 👍

 

[photonrider]

McZachen - I have the big brother to that Zonda:

These cars below are amongst my favourites - and I've had them for more than a decade - yet they keep their polish, and quality. The bases are screwed, not riveted. (Except the Mini which is MB, and is riveted.)

SECRET ROAD TEST without Customer's knowledge:

 

[AerodyManiac]

I think I've got the 356B (below, 2nd left).

at the silver Porsche beside it. (I forgot its name )

 

[OtakuTaikun]

Holy hell TA22 on race mesh looks perfect :Q_____ its getting hard to keep up here.

That make a wish casting was pretty cool 👍

The walmart near my house was starting to get the 2013s in... But i only saw the titan, which is nowhere near as cool as the blac first edition from 08 (?). The Supra i have is from '83 im falling in love with that casting

 

[commodoreben]

Just got a ebay purchase in the mail of some more protectors and some cars aswell. Pics will come later in the week.

 

[Nessy]

And also the 2008 christmas seasonals Ice Tub owned by my brother

I really like this,^ when i first saw the pic though.. Foam party hot tub sprung to mind rather than ice tub.

@ a6m5. those Johnny Lightning Porsches are. they look like they have detail traits of something of a larger scale. (really diggin the deep burgundy colour one from those first pics.. but the red & silver still look awesome though).
PS, i agree with Cano about the wheels on the Tomi, but hear what you're saying about what you grew up with.

Although i'm not a huge fan of Maitso, i do own one (a yellow Muira), actually really like that T-bird AOS, and the Speedster Harry. 👍 👍
Great Healey aswell AOS.

@Cano. you're right about not touching the Polistil 928... it will stay untouched. 👍 (hopefully post pics later today)

Finally:

Being an insider for the Nessy Ford Clinical Institute, kind of like an addiction spotter, or "mole" if you will (BTW the name of "Dr At1 ness" and myself is a mere coincidence of course...). I can inform you all that, one of Nessy Fords top physicians (& world renowned leading psychiatrist): "Professor B Dremel" (Ph.D), has personally contacted and told me he is "Very, very concerned", from what he has witnessed not only in this thread, but also in the customizing thread.

He is completely "shocked" to how far some of you're willing to go to improve the "2013 HW Celica", and he believes that the "wheel swaps" he has witnessed, are just fueling the deadly addiction beyond cure, and once again urges all involved, to send their entire collections (including All minilite/watanabe and TE37's custom wheels and W's.I.P), to the address in the previous post.

He also informs me that he's taken "exception" with "Cano"... he feels that a man that owns over 5000 diecast is beyond help, and is indeed "Certifiable"... but still insists that he (Cano), forwards his entire collection to him personally, for further analysis, so he can study and hope to find greater understanding, of one of the most severe forms of "1:64 DVA" he's ever seen.
