1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[CodeRedR51]

I walked into my local Walmart earlier last week to find a car missing from two separate 9 packs. Someone just cut open the plastic on the front and took the car. Damn thieves.

Coulda been a $ooper.

Paid $11 for this and a truck I don't even want.

They got balls.

So many great looking cars guys, my wish list is getting longer:tup:
Grabbed some M2 Machines over the weekend & a '68 El Camino because the colour looked awesome

Also grabbed these off of eBay for a .99c opening bid, they were cars that I had when I was younger but can't find now, they could be anywhere been about 25-30yrs since I used them last also Hot Rocker still works

And a couple of pics of my Hot Ones

Edit: I was just looking on eBay and came across this:

Pics aren't good, but is it real? Could be a second colour for 2013

I'm looking for a couple cars.

The Not so common

Kmart 240Z

The obscure

Chrome (or red) Race Aces Impreza

Edit: These two are on the way! Picked up the race aces Impreza in red for $6 and the Datsun came in a lot of 15 kmart color cars on the bay for $5 + shipping. Hooray!

Anyone have a super Treasure Qombee. It's so hideous and cheap...surely someone has one lying around.

Also, thinking about grabbing the Walmart garage set (heck possibly two of them) if they go below $60 clearance.

Okay guys, I'm going to be listing these cars on eBay to clear up even more room. I'm sure a few of you want a few of these so PM me about it before it all goes together!

You have 11 hours from his post to buy/trade from this listing.

ARGH STOP DOING THIS, GOT DAMMIT!!!

Add one of the two Jada 39 Chevys, the Hot Ones flat Out 442 and Supervan, and the burgundy (Greenlight?) GT500 ragtop, and update my totals please

 

[CodeRedR51]

AOS - you send out my stuff already?

 

[AOS-]

I have not sent out any parcels yet. I can do it as early as tomorrow if you must.

'39 Chevy? You're talking about the black Deluxe Master? Funny thing is that I recall you wanting a black Suburban but I accidentally got you a Black Deluxe Master, took it out and as a result have an extra one.

And the GT500 is an M2. You're taking all the cars I'm relying on to make my lot sell better. I'm going to give you more donors as punishment

 

[Anathema]

Today's haul;

Red 2012 Subaru, AEM S2000, #20 RX-7, Mazda Furai with the god-awful wheels, '73 Pontiac Firebird - not black, but green, the blue Lamborghini Estoque, the Aston Martin One-77, a BMW Z4 M (Racing?), a red S2000, and a second Kenmeri. Not pictured is a Gallardo with red/silver.

And AOS... the GT90 is tempting me, and possibly whatever the second car across, one down is.

 

[AOS-]

"Tempting" doesn't warrant a reservation.

Better establish a payment or offer up a trade (preferably the latter in case I want something from you in which case you might want to send me a PM with what you have to offer.)

 

[Anathema]

I'm flat broke, so it isn't really a possibility at the moment, and I really don't have much for trade at all.

Saving up money for an actual RX-7 doesn't allow for much else, even though it's only $2500.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I have not sent out any parcels yet. I can do it as early as tomorrow if you must.

Then throw in the two Mustangs with rubber tires on line 5. Then sent it out as soon as you can. Trying to collect money from everyone that owes me since I have rent due at the end of the week.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Found a 5 Below in my area and got a good haul.
Can't find any decent light for a family photo, so I shall just rifle them off instead.

Eight IZOD Indy Cars for $2.50 each.
Alex Tagliani
Helio Castroneves
Will Power
Dario Franchitti
Ryan Briscoe
Scott Dixon
JR Hildebrand
Danica Patrick
I don't like Danica Patrick as a human being one bit, but I got all the other cars, so I felt that I had to get her's.

But that's not the best part. Mainline stuff is just a buck.
Silver Aventador to complete my collection.
Two Kool Kombi's. They've grown on my unfortunately.
TV Series Batmobile.
And another Fast Fish TH.

Guess who just received some historical Matchbox cars?

 

[Cano]

My box? (:

 

[diabolicwyvern]

5 below??

---------------------------------

Bought these tonight with stops at Target, a thrift store and an antique mall.
Shoe Box and the Hot Ones were $2...everything else was dollar-ish.

Really like this car.

​

 

[McZachenF1138]

Ahhh, I loved that Shoe Box to death when I was younger!
My grandmother does too as she has a '50 Crestliner.

And yes, Five Below.

 

[TheeFrogmanlego]

I have returnd , only to say I found a 2000 car in Walmart yesterday * turbo flame* XD, i took a hiatus from here because TBH its stress full and i have two AP classes and getting ready for college is a pain in the.. oh that's right i got accepted!!! Any ways.. Im back with a vengeance!!

 

[AOS-]

I was contemplating whether or not I should've bought that Shoe Box in a recent order to add to the Rat Rod Track T I have, but ultimately decided not to to save money.

One of those opened up about 15 minutes from my house. I assumed it was a winter adventure store. Ski, snowboard, hiking...etc.

 

[velly]

i got another VW for my VeeDub collection

I got these on eBay:

I like the funky looking school bus. I'd love to get it if it's still available.

P.S. Cool new trick avatar. 👍

 

[diabolicwyvern]

A very eclectic group on the bay.

 

[AOS-]

Well no one has PM'd me about anything actually

I'm guessing you're talking about the spectraflame gold compact curvy bus near the bottom? no one has claimed that yet.

I'm going to need more cars from you if you want it. Probably anyway. Consult me via PM with that list we have and a list of what you're offering to trade up.

P.S. Cool new trick avatar. 👍

Thanks, Shinji. It's actually my own photo of the car.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Wasn't aware a PM was required. I asked about the mustangs on line 5.

 

[AOS-]

Did say to PM me about it in the original post. Guess it won't be necessary at this point.

Anyway, I'm closing all offers really soon, since I'm deleting the cars you guys took as well as cleaning up the images to be more presentable. You all now have about an hour to claim anything else, except you, Jason. I taped your box up now.




Oh and you don't get to claim anymore as well, Cano. I've stuffed your box full of cars and packaging poop. There's no room anymore.

 

[a6m5]

Jason: I'm shipping cars to Andy. What do I need to do different to ship to Canada?

I can submit a offer tomorrow night. I hope that's OK?

Thanks, Shinji. It's actually my own photo of the car.

That is crazy. I thought that was CG art. Very cool!

 

[AOS-]

You don't need to worry since I know you want something. If you have anything else you know you're very much interested in getting, let me know soon.

Jason: I'm shipping cars to Andy. What do I need to do different to ship to Canada?

You write my address.


Also: Can someone who knows their old Matchboxes tell me if these kinds of Indy Racers are worth a lot? Enough to keep carded or customize? eBay's got them at least $5 but who knows if sellers are just pricing them high?

I originally bought these for their wheels, but they look like they have some collector value being so old.

 

[CodeRedR51]

You'll have to fill out a customs form, that's about it.

Oh and heads up guys, I think the post office may be changing some things? I shipped Zach's package this morning and the base shipping included the tracking, which is usually separate...
