1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[McZachenF1138]

My girlfriend got me a couple of cool things for my birthday and gave them to me today.
One was this very cool truck with the rainbow wheels and the other being one of those Testors compressed air cans with an attachment to use those little glass bottles as spray paint. I am going to get sooo much use out of that.


We also went to Walmart and Pat Catan's today and picked up a few cars although a picture of them won't upload from my phone to Flickr.
I s'pose I'll just tell you guys instead until the picture will work:
Boulevard VW Beetle and T-Bucket
Saturday Evening Post VW Bus
Ferrari 458 with FTEs in a very similar color as Ferrari's Blue Nart.
Another Hakosuka to keep blistered.
Another Delorean to take out of the blister.
And the new Matchbox Ford Police Interceptor.

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.

Those are hardcore. Good luck. Let me know how (much) it goes.

I can grab more of those HW Racings for you guys. There were more at the store, but I didn't want to buy it all and have no one buy them from me. I was just playing it safe. I'm pretty sure I took the last of the M3s, there's another Greenwood Corvette, no more Copo Corvettes, no more Porsches, and maybe another Chaparral Camaro. I think there's one more GT40 as well. Shall I grab everything?

If I grab another M3, those star-shaped wheels are going on the RX-7. Been waiting for these wheels.

You know what I'm looking for already. Two of each please.

Do you only want the wheels off the M3?

 

[Cano]

Do you only want the wheels off the M3?

Not at all. They are for a friend. Cheaper shipping, and he'll go bananas over them.

'Sides, we already have a donor for those wheels.

AOS, great finds on the Racers. I just profiled the BMW today, and the Greenwood Vette goes up tomorrow:

I would post the photos here but I am nowhere near my computer and the photobucket app on the iPad isn't working...

So what do we know about some of these coveted "Racing" cars not being available in the U.S.? I mean, it's gotta be only matter of time before they start selling them here too, right?

Thanks to you guys going gah-gah over that Porsche, I ended up making another spendy purchase tonight. Bottomless pit of wants.

I..... actually want the M3 now. Great job! 👍

 

[Cano]

Lol, the guy who was stopping collecting.

 

[a6m5]

Different habit, but you get the point.

Wat. You don't have kids.

 

[a6m5]

Wat. You don't have kids.

You guys are the dad, I'm the kid! Learned it by watching you guys!

 

[Cano]

Ergh, as much as I don't want to be involved in your financial woes because of toy cars, I think in your case we are as guilty as you.

Enjoy.

To be honest, my love for collecting Hot Wheels i have, i get from my dad. My dad used to collect them when he was younger just as i do, he probly has a bunch of them redlines from back when they came out. Unfortuntly due to family problems i can't get them!

 

[Cano]

My share for today:

RMZ Corvette C6R duo:

Ah, RMZ. that's the brand of the C6R, GTR, Camaro and other cars I got at the convention. Back then a lot of people asked what they were.

 

[CodeRedR51]

See anything weird here?

 

[McZachenF1138]

Of course; the Subies.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah. PR5 Subaru = mine. I will have it. Just gotta convince the guy to trade/sell it to me.

I caught that wheel variation. Now I got to keep an eye out for it.

So what do we know about some of these coveted "Racing" cars not being available in the U.S.? I mean, it's gotta be only matter of time before they start selling them here too, right?

Well... the US barely got any Majorette Racing for one, and we had plenty. When it was still around that is.

 

[CodeRedR51]

If you find one, let me know.

Edit: Anyone need the black, Target exclusive Miata?

[Theace37]

^hmmmm.

Doesnt fit with my collection, but I want it....

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm glad I have no extra money to spend. Just spent 30 minutes browsing through the "Civic" listings on eBay. Way too much money could be spent there...

 

[f1reb1rd]

Where do you get those Real Riders?

 

[photonrider]

Unless you are asking about condoms. In which case . . . ID definitely required.

Some cars with them:

 

[CodeRedR51]

I have that Willy's and the Bone Shaker with green flames. (which may end up donating it's wheels...maybe)
