1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[a6m5]

Yeah, this and the customizing thread are enough for me right now.
I know I would have absolutely no life at all if I spent time on HWC; I do have a profile over there though.

I don't have life, but I don't want to lose other activities like BS-ing, watching TV, etc., etc. I'd like to see you guys try tracking two forums while doing laundry.

I play games, wash dishes, vacuum, feed the fish, do homework (well not really for the time being), and watch TV other than doing any HW-related things and going to work.

Where did you get the donor wheels?

They're just Hot Wheels PR5s. Only had to shorten the axle, and best part is that there's no prong cutting involved. Only have to pry up the flexy metal strip that is the suspensions of the car. My lack of axle fitting experience at the time left me with a ride where its wheels were grinding the wheel well.

I guess I didn't want to admit it, but I honestly don't have a life.
I go to bed every night after 3, (try to) wake up at 11, go to class at 12:30, get back at 4:30, eat, get on here, play GT5, GTA, NFS, DiRT, or skate 3, eat, tear apart/strip/paint cars, eat, get back on here, eat, play more video games, eat, and get on here while playing video games. Wednesdays and weekends are when I actually have a life when I drive an hour back home to see my girlfriend and parents.
No, I don't have a job. But I will hopefully get a seasonal Toys R Us job soon.

I don't play with the cars, so as long as it's able to sit there & look pretty, I'm down.

I get the feeling that when I actually get around to wheel swapping on these cars, this Tomica is going to be the first!

Edit: You guys still have the "20's" to look forward to. I'm all spent. These days, I LOVE going to bed early. Get asked out to take out a girl to a ball game, I'm like "I don't think I can stay up that late". It's pathetic, but it's true.

I don't play with them either, but them not rolling bugs the hell out of me. I spent about 2 hours trying to figure out a way to lower that blue F-100 and still allow the wheels to spin freely, because I am using a wheel size too big in the back. Gave up on it though because I've shaved off too much of the chassis plate to do anything plausible at this point.

 

[CodeRedR51]

You guys act like it takes all day to visit a website.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Visiting means staying for a short time, and with us that's not possible.

 

[AOS-]

I have a legit reason for not visiting HWC and that is to save myself from spending even more money on top of my compulsive eBay purchases.

Sound like me. I only sleep, eat, hang on GTP, play GT, GTA, NFS, RE, Hitman, Syphonfilter, Metal Gear, TDU, visit YouTube and that's my regular schedule. And I'm 23, no job yet, but soon .

I do visit NASIOC, Flat4LV (Subie owners forums in Vegas), AF Forums, Evolutionm and S2KUSA/S2KI and I'm a member on all of them, but I visit here more. I'll think about joining HWC soon, but do they have a mobile version? Sometimes I'm lazy when I want to go on my laptop.

23 with no job? And I thought I was lousy for not getting a job until I was 19.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Ahem...back to Hot Wheels.

Does anyone know if the orange Genesis Coupe is supposed to be coming back in 2013? I remember seeing it in one of commodoreben's pictures in a three pack.

Word. And I turned 19 three weeks ago.

 

[commodoreben]

Argh, still tempted to get that Matchbox 20 car pack at TRU! Mazda2 and Aeromax do it for me, as well as some other cars I can't remember at the moment.

Anyways, just got my package from Ben! Though the packaging was a tad overkill for just two normal mainline cars. Don't know, but the quality of the Bentley Continental Supersports is amazing. (for a Hot Wheels) Love it!

Im glad to see the Bentleys got there so quick. I couldnt remember if you wanted them carded or not so I went for the overkill packaging. Did you want me to keep an eye out for an orange Genesis for you?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Well that's your problem.

It's just the best way to keep up on what's being released. Maybe make a few trades, etc. Your loss.

Only in multipacks around here.

That's what I have you for.

No thanks, I'm set with just finding the 2011 New Models Genesis. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Anyone have an extra one of these they don't mind letting go for wheel donation?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Got 3 2013 hot wheels models. I got a red carrera gt, a red enzo, and a white aventador.

Well, welcome to the club guys. But me, I'm the real shocker of the group.

They didn't have them out yet. They're going to call me tomorrow.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Luckily I'll be back home tomorrow evening where there is a Tuesday Morning.
However, they didn't have the Hot Wheels Garage box; just some small Tomica playsets.

Well, let me know please! and thanks (:

You lucky dog..... That El Camino was my first ever TH find. Never seen that Mustang TH before. Wheldon, as you might know, I NEVER came across in stores.

Hah! Coincidentally enough, I found 5 of the 6 today. There was another Merc and Woody.

And here's that rock crawling pic I was talking about some time ago.

 

[Cano]

RRRRGGGHHH the 914.

 

[AOS-]

I need to find more cars with those wheels now that I got AE86s to wheelswap in the future.

 

[Cano]

You're gonna destroy it?
