1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Didn't know about the 917.

That's another one I'll have to find.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Probably late...but:

 

[CodeRedR51]

Meh. Not really seeing anything ground breaking from MB this year...

 

[MedigoFlame]

Not expecting much from them after this year.

Would you guys say it's worth the $21.99 to get a MB 20 car set? Really want the Mazda2 and Morgan Aeromax in there. Since I was late to the party when they were released as singles. (there are more that I want from the pack, but don't remember)

I think they overdid the Explorer. Too bad, I like the car.

I see Andy got the Vanagon. I haven't seen any new Hot Ones in sometime.

 

[OtakuTaikun]

I think M2 has this police Explorer and it looks hella awesome. It's just done up in a police livery, but the wheels are perfect and the detail is astonishing. Can't remember if it was M2 or Johnny Lightning

EDIT: It's greenlight

i keep debating this purchase

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Not seeing unique or new to the MB lineup. But I'll get the DBS Roadster though. Anyway in going out tonight, maybe I'll find some cars again in the stores.

i keep debating this purchase

I can't stand police vehicles without police lights on top? What is the deal!

Edit: I do agree on the rest.

Edit2: And what is the deal with two rows of gas cans & layer of LEGOs on top of the Matchbox Explorer!?

I can grab one for you if you really want. I won't however be traveling down to Eaton once I'm done the semester which is next Monday so ask now or it won't happen.

But I'll get the DBS Roadster though

Convertible....

 

[GTPorsche]

I'm assuming I'd owe something in return....

 

[AOS-]

Duh... you can either paypal me funds or we can trade a car for a car.

 

[GTPorsche]

Trading would be easier, but I'm not sure I'd have anything worth it.

 

[AOS-]

Do you have a list of cars you can part with?

 

[GTPorsche]

That I do not have.

 

[AOS-]

Might want to consider it if you would like people to help you grab certain cars and not bring money into the subject.

This is pretty cool: 1970 Original Store Display

If I had couple grand to spare....... I still wouldn't buy it, but it's very cool.

Edit: Make sure to scroll down to see the cool pictures!

 

[Cano]

That seller, FX Toys... they always ALWAYS come up with amazing stuff. I have them as a favourite seller just to see what they come up with next. I've learned a damned lot just by looking at the stuff they sell.

 

[AOS-]

Can someone explain to me how flayed cardboard and stapled acrylic come up to $2000 let alone be "amazing"?

 

[a6m5]

It's history, and very unique collectible!

I noticed the Copper Stopper in there, which happens to be one of my favorite cars from the Boulevard Series.

As for the display, I love the cool 60's/70's style background artwork more than anything.

 

[AOS-]

Oh so they didn't make that? I was under that impression since Cano described them as so.

*jaw drops*

 

[GTPorsche]

I'll see if I can come up with any.

I'm guessing that 917 isn't being produced anymore? Kmart seemed to have some older stuff on the pegs, judging by what I bought that day.

 

[AOS-]

I wouldn't know that. All I know is that there were like 3 more on the pegs at this store.

If it's the Hot Ones, it's still around in my area. Never has been a hard-to-find since I started collecting.

 

[GTPorsche]

I'll have to check then. I haven't looked at anything other than the basic stuff.

 

[AOS-]

Yep, we talking about the Hot Ones.

I'm not sure whether to cal this an error or not, but I picked it up anyway:

It could have simply got detached through some rough shuffling...OR someone took it apart, couldn't put it back together and returned it.

 

[Cano]

It is indeed an error. As long as it is still inside its card, it is.

They... who? hahaha what are you talkin' 'bout, dude?

 

[Cano]

dah. Twin post. sorry.

 

[a6m5]

He thought it was some homemade display.

 

[Cano]

He thought it was some homemade display.

Ah, from the seller, maybe? No, that thing is real. The cars in it are also freaking serious.
