1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[AOS-]

I had some guesses as to what "RS" might be, but I'm not about to start spelling those out in here.

Arse. WHOOPS.


Anyway, I'm going to head to Dufferin Mall tomorrow morning in hopes that they'll have more HW Racings out and about. I so want to get a whole set and list it on eBay for more than I bought it for. Those 2 current listings are over $90 now. I could be making potentially a $60+ profit here.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Do it.

 

[Spacegoat]

I found something on it.

Sweet. Got to say those Evo's look great too.

Thanks for the link. 👍

Aren't you guys glad I'm such a nice guy and got these cars for you? Otherwise I would have probably made quite a lot of money by now.

I was very skeptical about people selling & trading based off of the community in this thread, but I must say, I haven't read about any single incident. Everybody seems to be very happy with the results. 👍

I just read what he had to say, and it's harsh. He's very serious about Tomicas for sure!

I think it's good that we help each other build our collections especially when there are cars certain countries have limited access to. I've asked a bunch of US residents here to buy me cars I can't find here, except it always ends up being Jason only, since the other guys don't show up here often or they don't do money ()! I've offered to supply US residents (and Canoe) some Majorettes they don't get in the past. Never happened still, mainly because it was already too late. I just hope now that the HW Racing Road Racers aren't too too limited, because I need to auction some off.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Man, I wish there were Tomicas where I live.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Philippines has a distributor for Tomicas. That company also caters to other Asian countries when it comes to Tomicas.

For Kyoshos, I get them abroad. I rarely buy Kyoshos here because they're hard to come by. The hobby shops where I get them usually get those online.

 

[AerodyManiac]

Some more Tomicas:

In response to all those Tomicas you've put up here, I raise you mine, which I have only bought this Sunday...

(Photos are a bit dark, but I am not bothered to turn the brightness up using a editing software.)​

Yep, gullwing. You can't trump that.

I sure am (:

also, more Delivery series:

 

[Apok]

Yep, gullwing. You can't trump that.

Oh?

 

[Cano]

I'm with apok on the Siku Mercedes. That thing is awesome.

Also:

 

[McZachenF1138]

I feel like it's hard to find one of those C111s in good shape. All the ones I've seen loose aren't too good looking, mine included.

 

[CodeRedR51]

@ Cano: have you seen this?

 

[Cano]

It is. mine looks good but is far from mint. And we're not talking about the redlines.

@ Cano: have you seen this?

Yeah I saw that series, i understand that version of the Panel truck does not have the opening rear hatch anymore, which is a shame.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Seems that's how Mattel does things now. They release a cool casting with a unique feature, then after a while they decide it's too expensive to produce it that way anymore and close it off.

 

[Cano]

Yes, it sucks. It happened with the Ground FX land speed racer, you could unbolt the body and see the entire chassis, and the newer versions (including the mooneyes one, awesome) are fixed. Same for the Ford F100 Panel AOS got recently, recent versions don't open their hood anymore.

 

[AerodyManiac]

Oh?

Hey, you cheated. The brand must be the same!

Nice Siku models. :tup:

Edit: Oh, and what scale are them in?

 

[AOS-]

Don't ask me how I managed to find a Speed Machines out of nowhere after visiting that store like 4 times in the past month, but I randomly found a black 599 Fiorano and it was only $3.49! So happy. Wish they had more.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Trading my blue Boss 302 w/GT body error for another OH5 Ferrari 599XX. So I'll have one I can open now for my shadowbox display. 👍

 

[AOS-]

I have an OH5 599xx... I have 2.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Sowwy.

Edit: New sneaks are up.

New 350Z coming out. I quite like this one.

AND A NEW R34!!!!!!!!!!

Also, more info on the K-Mart collectors day which is Saturday the 3rd of November:

Here's the mail-in car: (I would be willing to help someone out to get one, if they pay)

 

[AOS-]

That contemporary "graphic design" decal is baller on a clean white body. I'd get 5 of those, easily.

edit: Oh man, that Lameley blog's got pics of Reventon Speed Machines: http://lamleydlm.blogspot.ca/2012/10/models-of-day-hot-wheels-speed-machines.html?m=0

I've never seen or heard of them before!

 

[McZachenF1138]

Is that a molded rear park ben.....I mean wing on the 350Z I see?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah, looks like they changed that. Pretty sure it's been plastic before.

 

[Cano]

I really like the R34, total Matchless Crowd Racing vibe.

 

[OtakuTaikun]

Oh crap gotta be on the lookout for those. The z33 defo has some sticker bombing aspects. The r34 reminds me of the one from the first need for speed underground game. Dunno how it does but it does lol

Edit: just got paid today so ill look up some ways to send all the f1s i got. Can i flat package hot wheels? Id hate to send like three or four packages

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah I saw that series, i understand that version of the Panel truck does not have the opening rear hatch anymore, which is a shame.

Correction on this, it does in fact open. There's just no bike in the back.

 

[Cano]

The thing's still amazingly ugly. I've never liked hyper-tampoed cars, much less so with themes not pertaining to cars. The whole HW Nostalgia series make me vomit in my mouth a bit.
