1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[RACECAR]

And finally a cool Lambo Miura also with steerable front wheels (posable only) and opening doors that has been badly fiddled with, This is gonna be restore right away. I'm thinking orange over black. any ideas?

My gut says go Yellow. Can't go wrong with it to me.

 

[NLxAROSA]

Went to a different store today, among the usual stuff I found these (clickable for large version):



Dodge Charger
Ford GTX1
Ferrari 250 LM
Datsun 240Z


Packaging is Japanese? Not sure really.

 

[Cano]

wow, yeah!!! japanese cards!!! very rare!! take care of those cards man, they are very difficult to find in places other than... er... Japan, haha

 

[NLxAROSA]

So it was a good call to leave them in the package this time. I just wonder how they got in there at my local store. I went through the bin and found only these four, I'll check back later to see if they have more.

 

[Paulie]

Is that Skyline GT-R an R34? I only have an R32.

 

[a6m5]

Nice cars, nice pics! I absolutely love Cano's classics. 👍 I also have 70's Miura my grandpa got me when I was a toddler. It's sort of emerald green, but I'm pretty sure it didn't have doors that opened or anything like that. Still my #1 hotwheel car though.

I like R1600's Batmobile too, but one I'm gonna start looking for is that Tyrrell F1 car. Very cool!

Packaging is Japanese? Not sure really.

Yeah, they just say "Hotwheel" on top row, then the name of the car below it. I saw the picture before I read what you wrote, so it made me do a double take.

 

[J-PaP]

Theres a R34 in silver and blue. We should only just be getting the silver ones here now.

 

[Apok]

My Citroen rally team got a support truck!

Now all I need is a Xsara in the correct paint scheme.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Found these today while going through boxes in the shed. Wasn't sure if this was the right place to put them, or in the scale model thread...so I put them here. Forgot I even had these, almost bought the Initial D cars a couple weeks ago. Good thing I passed them up!

 

[a6m5]

I could swear that I have the same hachiroku stored away somewhere, too. Forgot all about that. I also have the 24th scale of the same car I bought from Target, it was on clearance at the time.

 

[CodeRedR51]

The AE86 is going for the most on eBay right now for around $35. Double that for the bigger car. Although that's nothing to what some of the others are going for in the larger scale. Someone has the R32 listed on eBay right now for $350! He'll probably never get that seeing as someone else has the same car listed for $70.

 

[a6m5]

Holy cow. I don't think it's the same line model I have though. I think they had at least couple of different line of the larger models, and mine's the worthless one, though I have no idea how much it's actually worth. I think I only paid like five bucks for it, if that.

Over here in Holland you can get them from Bart Smit. They had loads. I only got one:

Those look all too cool to be true. I am an InitalD fan AND an Super GT fan

 

[RACECAR]

I have all those Super GT cars. Strangely though, those are the only six I've seen sold in that particular series. They never had the Sigma Sport Celica, the AU Cerumo Supra, the Raybrig NSX or the Epson NSX.

 

[Cano]

I've always wanted those superGT cars from Muscle Machines but they hardly turn up on e-bay.

Also, the Matchbox Volvo P1800 is hitting the stores now, it's awesomely beautiful, I've got mine in my hand. Keep your eyes peeled:

 

[Paulie]

I passed up a Matchbox Lotus Europa today, I hope I already have it. Scored on a batch of other cars though, including a Ferrari F40 from Hotwheels that has an opening engine bay but as a result a huge panel gap between the engine bay compartment door and the rest of the car.👎 Also got:
Welly
- 1955 Merc 190SL convertible (this thing's actually pretty good for $2 out of a fuel station)
- BMW 645Ci (why they don't just make the M6 is beyond me)

Matchbox
- '68 Citroën DS (hope I don't have this )
- Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

Hotwheels
- '09 Audi TTS
- Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole
- *gulp* Ford Fusion Cop Car
- VW Type 181 (looks modified)

Matchbox
- '68 Citroën DS (hope I don't have this )
- Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

Heh...

Most recent purchase, probably one of the cars that's creeping it's way into my favourite car list, the Ford SVT F-150 Raptor:

Nice little Matchbox model that one, seems quite detailed. Very cool too.

Was thinking of getting the Matchbox DS at the same time, Paulie

Another Matchbox (Lesney, this time) and a Corgi - a Mercedes-Benz lorry and a Morris Minor 1000.

The Merc was a purchase, the Minor I've had for years but only found it recently.

Finally, another car I found recently. An Austin FX4 London taxi with a company name on the roof, as it was something my dad picked up at a conference years ago as a curious company gift:

I've no idea of the maker on that one, all I know is it's made in China. I'd love to own a real Austin FX4 taxi, they're virtually indestructable Big agricultural diesel engine, power steering, auto gearbox and big thick steel bodypanels. Not sophisticated but about as "British" as it's possible to be in a car.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Saw a white one today on my way to Arizona. 👍

Also, stopped at a WalMart in Cortez, Colorado and picked up:

- Matchbox Bentley Continental GT (blue)
- Matchbox Lotus Evora (Orange)
- Hotwheels Garage series car (can't remember the name) with signature tampo on bottom.

Yeah the Matchbox F-150 is pretty good. If it wasn't for Top Gear I probably would not have known what you meant by lorry, we call them trucks in Australia, not to be confused with Utes (also known as Backies in South Africa) by Americans. We all call a sedan a sedan, but take away 2 doors and add a tray and we're all confusing each other.

 

[J-PaP]

Picked these up recently. Just curious though cars like the white gallardo, sp2 and aston are they from the latest cases that have the skyline in them? or are they in the next case? Just curious if someone got to them before me.

 

[Paulie]

Gallardo, nice.👍 I don't think I have the VW or DB9 (DBS?) either.

Gah tell me about it, I used the word lorry where I'd normally use truck as to our American friends a truck is like the Raptor I posted I also call them wagons, which is what my truck/lorry/wagon/rig-driving best mate calls them...

And I'd call a sedan a saloon, which is a car with a boot, not a trunk...

Anyway, I quite like Merc wagons (no good reason, just if I was going to drive a wagon for a living I'd want to drive a Mercedes one!) which is why I got the old Lesney, if I see any more modern ones come up I'll probably have those too. As far as I'm aware, the one I bought actually should come with a trailer and I did see the trailer for sale but it was more than the Mercedes so didn't bother!

Love the Ducati 1098 up there 👍

 

[Cano]

I have that Lesney truck around with it's trailer, but none of them have the orange top... or do they? Damn, I really need to go trough my collection, I'm kinda forgetting what I got and what not. Understandably with about 2000 pieces... but so far it had not been an issue. I'm starting to get scared.

 

[Prince.M5]

That Ducati 1098R looks awesome!

Wonder when it will come here... It's been more than a month of no car shopping. Anyway, you guys really have the best collection! Congratulation all!! 👍

 

[Paulie]

More cars today! Still couldn't find that R34 GT-R.
Hotwheels
VW SP2 in orange
'70 Chevelle SS Wagon or yellow
'57 Chrysler 300 in a pinkish red
1997 Dodge Copperhead Concept Car (the one from Gran Turismo 1!)

Lamborghini Gallardo in matte black

Matchbox
'72 Lotus Europa Special in yellow (wasn't sure if I had it, so got it anyway)
'69 VW Karmann Ghia Convertible in purple
'71 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in green (soooo Americana )
Range Rover Sport

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Our whole haul today. Both the 1:18 cars came to $25.

 

[a6m5]

I like the 240Z. Nice color, too. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

I think that's the shelby daytona you're looking at.

Edit: unless you're talking about the Z at the top of the page...

 

[Cano]

still an Ecto-1? lucky.

 

[chessman6500]

Have any of you guys seen a Fangster or Nissan Skyline gtr-r34 blue yet? Cool set of cars you got there.

Anybody hear anything about the 2011 cars yet?

Picked these up recently. Just curious though cars like the white gallardo, sp2 and aston are they from the latest cases that have the skyline in them? or are they in the next case? Just curious if someone got to them before me.

The white gallardo, dbs and ducati are from the m case. The sp2 is from m if buying it in stores such as walmart but from l if you bought it from a grocery store. The skyline is in two different cases. Gray is in L and blue is in N. They are also coming out with a white Ducati in P case next month.
