1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Apok]

Hey. Want to learn something about that Matchbox 911 GT3, Apok? The wheels in chrome aren't common..... not here anyway. It's all orange 10-spokes on that particular blue 911, so nice find 👍

I thought it was a bit strange that the wheels on the card are orange and the ones on the car aren't.

Though it's not as good as the earlier cyan blue one I have. For some reason Matchbox decided to have tampos for the front headlights on that one, but not on this one.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Unpainted or tampo'd head/taillights are honestly unacceptable to me.

 

[AOS-]

Scribble it on with the silver Sharpie as Jason suggested.

 

[McZachenF1138]

As you will see come Monday when I send you the pictures of my cars for sale/trade, I know AAALLLLL about that.

Yes, they're almost done. I just need to pick up a USB cable for my camera I just found as I did not check to see if I had one before I took the pictures.

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, tampo headlights I find disgusting, too.

Just picked up a 10 pack for the Grey Datsun 510 with chrome FTE's (Trap5) and the burnt orange 370Z. Hate having to purchase multi-packs for 1-2 cars.

Edit: Ho, Ho, Ho.

I knew it.

It's funny. When I started collecting the thought of buying multiples of the same car because of a simple colour variation seemed really stupid.

Exactly my thoughts, when I first started last year. Now I'm constantly looking though the pegs for any colour variation's.

It's a disease, I tell you.

It's a collector's worst nightmare....


What else was in that 10-pack, Jason?

- '13 Dodge Viper

[AOS-]

If you don't want that Off Track, can that be set aside for me?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'll toss it in your box.

 

[AOS-]

Awesome. Do you have an extra Bread Box by any chance? It's going to be for a custom.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I have an extra TH version. Not sure I'd give it up to be torn apart.

 

[AOS-]

I'll buy that off you depending on the price.

 

[Cano]

Jason, please drop the Javelin in my box too (:

 

[McZachenF1138]

The Giant Eagle and Big Lots pick ups of tonight.


All the green ones are from Big Lots.
And my first error is quite a long time too!

 

[CodeRedR51]

'71 Cuda smooth or ribbed back window?

@ Cano - done

 

[AOS-]

Ribbed.

Is that a Blvd Bruiser?


No to buying Bread Box, Jackson?

 

[Cano]

@ Cano - done

Thanks, dude 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ribbed.

No to buying Bread Box, Jackson?

How do you know it's ribbed?

And not sure if you're going to take it apart.

Actually I forgot to mention that I have a couple of the silver R34's. They were stashed away in a plastic hotwheels carrier in the boxes in my closet. They're loose, but in good shape.

Ok, how many of the Active Silver R34s do you have in the carrier? I need around three.

Just picked up a 10 pack for the Grey Datsun 510 with chrome FTE's (Trap5) and the burnt orange 370Z. Hate having to purchase multi-packs for 1-2 cars.

I saw that same set, but with the red BNR34 this time. Then I spotted the AE86 with HW in Japanese and the Victory Red ZR1 C6 in it at Walgreens. I hate doing this, but I'm thinking of buying it next time for the cars.

You jealous I know something you don't?


And I never tamper with THs... all of mine- as worthless as they are- stay in their cards, except for the Studebaker.

I have two.

If you keep it intact I'll let you buy it.

 

[AOS-]

Never said I'd tamper with a TH.

I was just taking pictures for the "Real Gun" thread, and I just couldn't resist.

It's the Testarossa with the two-tone seats. It came out good(since I left out the Mega-Ferrari emblem lol).

 

[Cano]

Rare. I had never seen the Testa Rossa with 5 spokes.

 

[a6m5]

Rare. I had never seen the Testa Rossa with 5 spokes.

Yeah, they are out there, but I had to pay a bit more & get it as a set with the original Testarossa, because I really liked the wheels.

 

[McZachenF1138]

'71 Cuda smooth or ribbed back window?

What if it's ribbed?

 

[MedigoFlame]

Well, after waiting a while to find the R34 and AE86 in stores... I finally got it! Went to Target while checking out my brother's next car choices. And bought these.

Two R34s (One opened and not in picture)
Two AE86s (Both opened, but snuck one back in the package for the picture...also one was an error with a bent rear axle and a part of the diecast metal sticking in the wheel well making it impossible to move the wheel. )
Enzo
ZR1
Falcon
V-16
GT500
MB CTS Wagon.

So glad the pegs were full of new cars. And yes, I am also looking forward to that E30 M3.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

I have two.

If you keep it intact I'll let you buy it.

Then I'll take the two then.

Nice Ferrari A6. And like Cano said, you have a rare Testarossa. How much though.
