1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Speaking of Boulevards, kinda wish I picked up the C1 Corvette.

Do you not have Walmart in your area?

I do and I stopped there today. They had three; Merc Dragster, T-Bucket, and Metrorail were what they had.
Tuesdays and Thursdays is when I go to Toys R Us, Target, Walmart and K-Mart. There isn't anything worth buying at any of them. And this is in the past month at least I've been checking that frequently.

Come to think of it, half the Walmart in my area's about the same. They leave the peg just about dead. And for weeks. Do they not have inventory software staying on top of that stuff? Amateurs. I buy a lot of ammunition from them, and they can't keep the cheap, popular ones in stock either, but I'm sure that's due to demand? There is no shortage of Boulevard Series Hot Wheels, I'm sure of that. I think they are either lazy, or incompetent! 👎

They look nice in pictures, but every time I have one in my hand at the store, I put it back. I don't think it's that great.

I still need to find the boulevard series rigor motor.

I was drooling at its' wheels, the other day. I don't care for the car, but it's got nice wheels.

 

[Spacegoat]

Thanks man...... it's really your fault though, even if you don't realize it. I wasn't paying any attention to Falcon before you guys started making big deal about it. Lately, I've been just drooling over those S-TH Falcons, and I finally started shopping around for it. It rubbed off on me!

Glad, I could be of some assistance there.

You don't want it, its crap. Just send it to me.

 

[a6m5]

It's a crap with a set of real riders.

Glad, I could be of some assistance there.

Payback for those Tomica links. I think you'll be shopping for one of your own, sooner than you think.

Ah, OK. I can totally understand that, then.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Oh yeah Jason, I just remembered how you wanted to do some sort of virtual meeting on Friday nights. We're trying to set something like that up over in the Clubhouse as soon as Jordan makes updates to the fan pages that will make things like that easier.

Don't give me anymore idea's. Although my birthday isn't too far away.

*VS BT1 Commodore Wagon*

Ooh good choice, I've always liked VS wagons. 👍

 

[commodoreben]

I had to put my car on the list

 

[McZachenF1138]

I don't know why, but when I drive this in DiRT3 it reminds me so much of something Hot Wheels would do.
Could you easily picture this as a Hot Wheels or is it just me?

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Which I already have. I want MOAR

Just awesome 👍

Do you have the black Z4 GT? That one is amazing! Love to see the widebody Z4 GT3 also, but I want MOAR M3 GTRs 👍.

R1600: OVERSPEND NOW!

Oh, HECK NO!!! I love me some JDM cars, but I wouldn't dream of paying for a car regardless of where it came from as a 1:64 HW at a price that I can get a AutoArt or any of the other high end model cars for. I'll pass.

Your list is pretty good, but it needs more old Holden muscle. Here's a few, I'd love to see.

1968 HK Monaro GTS.
1972 LJ Torana GTR-XU1.
1974 LH Torana L34.
1978 LX Torana A9X.
1980 VC HDT (Brock) Commodore.
1981 VC SL/E Commodore*.

*I had to put my own car in there somewhere.

And just on the walkinshaw, for some unkown reason, I used a lower case "L" in my previous post about it. So to set the record straight it's VL Walkinshaw. Apologies, totally my fault.

Nice, I'll look up the cars so I can see how they look. 👍

Yesh, yesh, yesh . . .

Got my mini diecast race cars, finally.

Green, green, green! Boogity boogity!

But for the moment . . . back to work.

What brand are they? Never seen those before.

Boss 302 error w/Mustang GT body anyone?

Now this S198 Mustang is having a identity crisis.

I stopped by K-Mart today and much to my surprise, they updated their Boulevards with these.
I bought one of each and another Olds Aurora for its wheels.

Dat '64 GTO, C1 Vette, W8 Twin Turbo and Civic Si!

But the Civic wheels . Where's a set of O.Z. Superleggras so I can swap them ASAP?

You are lucky we can't drive to Poland. Because I can totally see some of us West Coast boys chipping in on gas to raid the pegs there.

And once we are there, we'd probably have to fight to death. I'd win though, I'm a black belt(Levis).

Hmmm. If we could drive over....... I can smell a road trip, but if you have a black belt, I give up and run or maybe take the cars and sprint. I'm a track runner .............


Ah, Ford's thunder from down under, perfect match for some AUDMs. Thanks. 👍

I don't know why, but when I drive this in DiRT3 it reminds me so much of something Hot Wheels would do.

Dude, if Hot Wheels made the 1:64 replica of Sam's Dodge Charger SRT-8 Drift Car and Challenger... I can also see the Falken Pontiac as a HW car.

But what about that Falken and Monster Engery Mustang GT?

 

[Sonygamer455]

Ah, OK. I can totally understand that, then.

That is whenever i can find it! They were plentiful at my local wal mart, there were like 3 there before and then i came back later and every one including all the other boulevards were gone! My thought is that they are in the clearance area since they had been sitting there for a while, might check there next time i go. As for the "crazy idea", whenever i get it done i will post it in the customizing thread

I've always liked Saturn(what a weirdo). I'd buy that. 👍

Don't give me anymore idea's. Although my birthday isn't too far away.

Since you are Magic Johnson, I'm gonna get you a H...... I...... HIGH FIVE! What did you think I meant!?

I used to run track. I don't know if you noticed, my "black belt" is Levis.

Well, worst case scenario, you'll find them second hand, or on eBay, or Toy Peddler for reasonable price, you would think. We know it's not a coveted model.

 

[Spacegoat]

Ah, so that's drift car thingy is a Satun. Good thing a6 pointed it out, I had no idea what make it was.

I had to put my car on the list

Of course.

👍!!

 

[a6m5]

I think it was a re-badged, or re-skinned Opel.

Edit: I thought that was a real pic. That'a game isn't it?

 

[CodeRedR51]

 

[a6m5]

So it's out to real life people like us then?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Found in a 3-pack with the Camaro & some weird made up car. Camaro is available for trade if anyone wants it.

 

[AOS-]

Who was it that wanted the Wall Track Rack I talked about last time? I think it's going to hit the shelves in the next 2 weeks, hound 3 boxes so there's 15 available. Let me know if you wanted any and I'll grab them for you.

I still need to find the boulevard series rigor motor.

If you want it that badly, I'll trade you mine. Anyway:

Still got more.

 

[a6m5]

The top one & bottom one. 👍 What is the bottom one?

Found in a 3-pack with the Camaro & some weird made up car. Camaro is available for trade if anyone wants it.

3-pack?

 

[Cano]

stuff

Still got more.

Awesome haul dude. I'm waiting for the 100% Daytona too.

Oi, btw, haven't found any new Road Racers?

 

[MedigoFlame]

I'm guessing the black McLaren F1 Longtail is from Kyosho? Looks amazing!

Walmart's pegs seem to be stocked full...so probably shouldn't expect new stuff for a while. Might check Target tomorrow, since the last time I went, their pegs were near empty.

 

[a6m5]

Ah, Kyosho. That makes sense. Frigging amazing.

 

[AOS-]

Only one of the 3 Walmarts I go to had them and I flushed them out already. They probably only got one box or something, will be checking Dufferin again on Friday since I have time, though I really doubt they have anything.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Found by registers at Wally World.

You see the prices for those on ebay?

 

[Nessy]

@ AOS.

427 Cobra (don't like the Daytona), and that 'Ueno clinic' longtail (Kyosho) .
