1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[McZachenF1138]

Maybe that's the one I'm thinking of.

 

[CodeRedR51]

If I were to purchase a new Boulevard case that includes the 510 wagon and the '71 Skyline, would you guys commit to purchasing the cars from me? I don't want to spend $64 on a case and get stuck with cars I don't need.

Better yet, we can all go in on a case and I'll take care of the shipping...

 

[McZachenF1138]

How many of each car will be in the case?

I hope there's more than one car.

71 DATSUN BLUEBIRD 510 WAGON (3)
RENAULT 5 TURBO (3)
71 NISSAN SKYLINE GTR (3)
55 CORVETTE (3)
84 PONTIAC FIERO (4)

Bold = # of cars.

My #2 car:

This RX-7 is the perfect first gen in my head. Yes, absolutely.

#3 of 3:

*IMG*

Seriously in what way is a first gen RX-7 obscure? ( I'm assuming this is what you referred to yesterday) Screw you though, the other cars are cool, but you have no idea how badly I want a RX-7 now.

But I took those chill pills from the good doctor, so I'm fine.

Good to hear.

I'm in.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I want one of each, but it's a real difficult decision whether I want them "now" or when - or if - I find them on the pegs. If you mark me down for one of each, then I will for sure get them, but other people may not, so I'm not sure yet.

 

[Cano]

For the sake of making things clear, I want one of each.

We're going to need several cases then.

I'm sure I'll find them in stores at the latest February so I'll pass up on this.

 

[CodeRedR51]

If you guys are in 100%, that would leave 1 Renault, 1 Corvette, and 2 Fiero's left over.

 

[Cano]

Who would be in? If I'm reading correctly, it would be just you and me as of yet. McZucheroo didn't deffinitely say yes, nor Andy.

 

[photonrider]

What? Fieros? What Fieros? Left over where?


*hurriedly reading thread.

 

[McZachenF1138]

This isn't going to be another Road Racers incident is it?
Because wasn't it already determined that the US would get them but then obviously Mattel took a big crap on us?

 

[AHMEDFINK]

I'll take the Renault, the vette and one Fiero, or any other left one of each, I'm in 100%

 

[photonrider]

Ah! I see what's going on now. Guess I'll wait for it. The last trade shipment I was supposed to receive from the States has still not come - and I've about given up on it and called it a bad debt.
No more trading with the States for awhile.

Meanwhile - some good Karma:

Just had a wonderful nap this afternoon. Before that though, I sorted out one section of my display cabinet and gathered all of my 1/64 Kyoshos.

*pics taken via Instagram*

Is there anything particularly special about that Tony-whomever Limited Exige? Is there any significant difference from it compared to the regular orange Exige other than premium wheels?

Well, this is my Tomica Limited Exige:

It has more details, like the "S" badges, painted air intakes, detailed headlights and taillights, and there's even a Lotus badge (the regular version does not have one).

The regular casting's rear spoiler is made of plastic, but the Tomica Limited version's rear spoiler is made of diecast metal bolted on the body.

Hope this helps.

Id take one of each as well if there were enough and you would be willing to ship to Australia.

 

[phil bell]

Are 1/18s welcome? If so I think my avatar represents them decently.

Btw nice Kyoshos RC, love the DBR9. 👍

Nice, is that a R34 Z-Tune in the back?

And Jason, I'll take one of each of these cars: 510 BB Wagon, 71 Skyline KPGC, 80 Turbo 5 and the C1 Vette 55 please.

 

[photonrider]

Very nice bunch of 1:64s, Kakashi. Wonder, off hand, how much that bunch is worth. I don't think there would be too much investment value in them, but as models they look very delectable. I need to go after a collection like that one day.

I can't really say as to how much, but if I am going to average it out, I spend around 12 USD each Kyosho 1:64.

I think it's time I teach you to take more attractive photos with a very few objects using a point-and-shoot.

 

[photonrider]

No. Thanks. I might end up positively bland.

No, this would just guarantee you getting one. Since I only have a couple stores near me within a reasonable bike riding distance, I'd like to make sure I get them without getting raped at the Friday meets for something new and exciting.

I'll take the Renault, the vette and one Fiero, or any other left one of each, I'm in 100%

To have enough for all of you we'll need more than one box.

As it stands, I want 1 of each of the Datsun and the Skyline...

Edit: If anyone was debating on getting the Boulevard set with the exclusive cars, it's $49.97 on Walmart.com right now and you get a $10 gift card with your purchase.

 

[OtakuTaikun]

Matchbox has made a premiere supra as well as the FD , I got a yellow one. FC wise I know maisto had a casting from a while back.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Yeah, disappointed to say the least.

A black/white/red/gold Mugen theme would have been killer.

Here's a model I'd like created while we are dreaming...

Because out-of-focus photos are so positively outstanding...
