1/64 Model Collectors Thread

I'm just going to say "nice cars". Last couple of pages, it's gotten to the point where there were too many worthy mentions. By the way, AOS, is that Chevelle or whatever from the Ford versus Chevy series? Did you get those already? I'm still waiting for my two sets.

I had to grab something during my lunch break, and found these:

Another green stripe, another no-super treasure hunt. Better than nothing, I can't complain. I saw two "8 Crate" I was interested in. Went with the Garage Series, instead of the Delivery Series. It looked cooler to me, and Garages are $1 cheaper.

That Boulevard Dodge Caravan thing, I pulled a AOS. First time I bought a car for its' wheels! Wheels are friggin nice. I'm going to put it on something else when I actually get into that side of the hobby. 👍

Error coming soon, I'm posting a pic tonight.

Picked up these yesterday, while I was out. I would have picked up a few mainlines too, but I spent all my money on a couple of games before hand.

Nice. 👍 Those three, I rarely see, or never seen on pegs.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Never seen any of them!

They're new-ish. You'll probably see them in the next couple weeks or so.

 

[Spacegoat]

I've never seen those on the pegs before either. Funny thing is, that's all I had to chose from, the pegs were full of just those 3.

I recently went to walmart and found all new 2013 line up of cars, but before getting them, I wanted to get my favorite hot wheel, the Lotus Con..... wait a second.

Pictures little blurry, but that is a Ferrari F40 in the blister, amirite?

It's the Lomad from 2005

Not an error. Someone did the old switcharoo and returned it. Those people are pathetic. 👎

 

[Cano]

This one?

Oh go to hell. Yes that one.

Anyway, 60% of the cars below are old and 40% are new to my collection. As new cars came into my possession, I did a lot of swapping in and out. As I'm not sure what's been up , I thought it best to show them all.
AWESOMENESS

This, people, is how you make me bleed jealousy. You've done a lot of catching up to me; I know you have several pieces I don't, but in this update I do see many that I already have, which is nice for a change. Still, there are a lot I'm lacking.

That 55 Chevy in red/white has eluded me, as has the awesome blue Jeep Scrambler with white Real Riders, that's a tough one. My blue/green Blazer could use an upgrade, and fortunately, I don't have to envy you anymore for the A Team Supervan and the yellow Tow Rig as they're coming my way (I hope) in the next month or so.

Still, all thise cars are freaking money. I see both Thunder Roller variations, ribbed and ribless roofs. Cool. The red Real Rider Cobra... yeah I still envy you for that one.

Hahahahaha! It fully says LOTUS CONCEPT too.

AOS, is that Chevelle or whatever from the Ford versus Chevy series?

Did you get those already?

That orange with the black hood Chevelle? That's from the HW Garage series.

So no, I didn't get it fro mthe Ford vs Chevy series. HOWEVER, there is something I got, and I picked them up for you guys (busted out $40 for this; please don't leave me hanging ). Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I recall someone saying the latest Hot Wheels Racing series aren't to be out in the States.... or whatever. I'm here to tell you, I picked up a LOT of them today and will gladly sell them to you guys, for the exact amount Walmart charged me for: $5.47.

There's also another Copo Corvette, but I accidentally tore the top half of the card. PM me if you want to grab any off me.
Edit Correction: It's a Greenwood corvette, not a Copo.

Oh and the 1955 Corvettes are not up for sale. I'm modding one and gutting the other.

 

[OtakuTaikun]

:Q______ Dat whale tail

On a random side note, one of my co-workers has a mean 67 Mustang coupe. Wonder what that'd look like with some watanabes on it.

 

[Cano]

They're mine, AOS.

Are the Longbody Porsches available in the US?

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Went to Walmart and green stripes are everywhere.... do they even mean anything now are is Mattel having a laugh? From memory...had to be 15 in one large bin alone. 3-4 different cars and many multiples of them. They were all HIDEOUS though. Clear wheels or bodies...none of them at all resembling a normal vehicle.

 

[a6m5]

Are they really not coming to the States?

To be completely honest though, the only two that I was even interested in was the GT40 and the Porsche. If you really do need somebody to take the rest off your hands, like Camaro or the Bimmer, I'll see what I can do.

Wouldn't need the Corvette anyway. I passed on that more than once or twice.

 

[Theace37]

I sent you a PM, ill be taking some porsches off you if I dont win my auction!

Theey dont. Steer clear of them from now on. THs are only indicated now by the little blue flame logo like featured in this thing:

Yes, that's it. They're pretty much trash now.

Not if you get the real riders ones they arent!

 

[Cano]

But he already knows about the hidden $THs, the ones that receive a different treatment this year are the regular ones.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I will take at least one of those BMWs off of you.

 

[AOS-]

PM, silly geese. That's how I will determine who gets first choice.

Edit: Oh. Cano's buying them all. I'll grab more the next time I'm out and reserve them for whoever messaged me. Just list down what you want and I'll go grab 'em.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Good catch on the Ribbed and Flat Thunder Rollers. The only true doubles are the Long Shot and Rescue Ranger, but seeing how they are quite pricey...I like to keep track of them.

Oh and I finally scored the pink shadow jet! Next car I'm after is the Hereos on Video Speed Shark. Finding it minty should be a fun challenge. Also after the a couple of the cheaper Speed Machines, American Victory and an Inside Story

 

[Cano]

Edit: Oh. Cano's buying them all.

MWAHAHAHAHA!! Sorry, had to.

 

[Theace37]

MWAHAHAHAHA!! Sorry, had to.

Dam you!

I was minutes late!

 

[Cano]

You were indeed (:

EDIT:

Also after the a couple of the cheaper Speed Machines, American Victory and an Inside Story

Which ones?

 

[Theace37]

You were indeed (:

Well, ill have to scower ebay for:
3 porsche longtails
2 BMW E30
1 Ford GT40

 

[diabolicwyvern]

The two speed machines I'm after are American Victory with the yellow base and the Inside Story with white interior. I understand the chrome interior is more collectible but I think it's ugly.

I have spent a lot more time sniping on eBay since I've discovered the wonders and dangers on Bill Me Later. They just give you a line of credit without checking.

Thank you Paypal.
