1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[CodeRedR51]

I could swear you posted one of those "be on a lookout" pic that was a Super NSX.

Who?

Nope, no $uper.

And I'd rather not say.

 

[RACECAR]

Just noticed the BMW E30 M3 I have has some sort of rollcage in the back. Is this based on the Sport Evo. 2.5?

.....................hot wheels related...

well

Now it is.

I got that recently as a Flying Custom's variation.

And while still on the topic of collecting Hot wheels (as well as in the spirit of 'to each his own'):

 

[CodeRedR51]

I picked up a Matchbox Porsche 911 GT1 from the Hot Wheels meet last night if anyone wants it. It's loose but in good shape.

Got up this morning at the crack of dawn to hit Target before they opened. Nothing.

Dollar Tree - Nothing

Walmart - Nothing

Totally could have slept in.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

I cannot wait to post the response I just received from an Ebay seller who hasn't bothered to ship my item until 3 days after i was supposed too receive it. Apparently my standards are to high!

 

[AOS-]

Filed a complaint to the seller and this is the response:

Hi!
We are very sorry to hear this message.
These two KYOSHO McLaren cars are no original box so it is not in perfect condition of packing.
And we make the mistake that we do not check them well before delivery.
So we must refund the payment of these 2 cars ( 261152762423 & 261152793008 )to you, please check you PAYPAL account.
And we will also inform ebay to cancel these 2 transaction, thanks!
Sorry again to make you in trouble.
Best regards,

I had a good chuckle on that bolded line. They've refunded me money even though I specifically stated I didn't want one.

I think you should consider only going once every two weeks.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Can't say no to free cars.

Also, Lamely just posted this and I MUST have it. I will buy it, somehow.

 

[AOS-]

Saw that too.

Want to get my hands on some FCs, FDs, and 787Bs.

 

[Cano]

Edit: I open my damaged Kyosho container, and I'm presented with an F1 with no rivets. What happens next? This.

Dude now that we perfect the wheel-reproducing process you HAVE to send those over here so we can make them. I'll send them back along with some new sets!

lol at the two pictures(anime/live). I'm gonna watch this later.

Don't.

 

[AOS-]

Everyone's a hard-headed fool in Wangan Midnight. Realistically, who's going to bother driving on the highway every single night for hours?


Also, you're not getting the wheels.

The film and the Anime is awful, i did enjoy playing the games way back though.
Cool McLaren F1 BTW. 👍

Speaking of McLarens.... I paid nothing for these because I filed a complaint to the seller and he refunded me everything. I feel kind of bad but at the same time I didn't demand a refund. What should I do with my $25? Buy more Kyoshos?

 

[Nessy]

speaking of mclarens.... I paid nothing for these because i filed a complaint to the seller. I didn't feel bad at all, about threatening the seller with legal action, and demanding a full refund. What should i do with my $25? Buy more kyoshos? :d

Naturally.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Went the apartment office today expecting 2 packages and had 4.

Thanks to At 1ness for the Supra, that thing is great especially with the metal base!

Also got these cars: (pics from STD)

 

[a6m5]

I got the cars from Andy today. Thanks man!

Also got this three-pack from Walmart, two GT-Rs(card error/variation) from the toy peddler:

Whatever the white car is on the three-pack, I've been wanting that one for some time. I was looking for wheel variation thing that Jason's been asking for, I couldn't find it, but I ran into this. $3.88 for one, standard, car. There was a new red Nova wheel variation, almost bought that, but settled on this one. Either way, it feels like getting kicked in the nuts!

I picked up a Matchbox Porsche 911 GT1 from the Hot Wheels meet last night if anyone wants it. It's loose but in good shape.

I didn't even know there was such thing. If it's still available, I'd want that!

Totally could have slept in.

I did. Scores in all of the stores has been disappointing to non-existent. It's been sucking here, too.

I cannot wait to post the response I just received from an Ebay seller who hasn't bothered to ship my item until 3 days after i was supposed too receive it. Apparently my standards are to high!

This could be a new series in this thread. This should be interesting.

Last seller I left a neutral on, for shipping the carded car(card came in destroyed) in a soft box, she just left me what seems to be a automated positive feedback.

I had a good chuckle on that bolded line. They've refunded me money even though I specifically stated I didn't want one.

I'm the same way, I wouldn't feel comfortable either. But if that's their suggestion, what are you gonna do, say no to a freebie?

Also, Lamely just posted this and I MUST have it. I will buy it, somehow.

I'd really like to have one of those, then another car in there, but from a different make. I'm gonna go after them, even after I stopped collecting.

Don't.

I already watched like 20 minutes of it. Akuma-no-Zetto!

*edit

I wanna see the Supra! Very cool R32 though. 👍

Same story all across the country. Must be in a shipping break or something.

Shinji, I can get you "that white car" in a metalflake orange with white 10SP. I'm speaking specifically of 2012 Easter VW SP2. Want one?

(shrugs with with a smile)





I'm actually amazed you received it so quickly. I sent it out only this Tuesday! It hasn't even been a week!


edit:

With more cars I took out, my 2012 collection dropped from 740 to 686. There's more to be taken out via sold, gutted or customized. Anyone going to be needing '35 Cadillac bodies?

My collection officially under 1000 again! I think.

I'm gonna pass for now. I just bought close to thirty cars from this seller(just waiting for invoice). You guys should check out what he's got. Seems to be great person to deal with, and shipping discount is top-notch. 👍

Dear 43carnut,

My estimated delivery was three days ago. I paid for EXPEDITED SHIPPING and not WHENEVER YOU GET AROUND TO IT SHIPPING. Should I not receive a response...I will be opening a case. Being unhappy your item sold for well under it's value, if that's your reason, is no excuse to withold shipping. By paying for my item, you are obligated to complete the LEGAL, BINDING transaction.

Dear diabolicwyvern,

Good morning. I am not unhappy with the price becauwe they did not cost me anything. I do not send things whren I wewl like it, I send them as soon as I can. Unfortunately I have been having internet problems as well as car problems and was not able to get to the post office. Your standards are not up to yours.item was shipped yesterday. Sorry my standards are not up to yours.

Jim

Dear 43carnut,

How silly of me to expect my item to be shipped sooner than the 3 days after the expected ARRIVAL date. eBay policy dictates my standard. Next time, uncheck the box for expedited shipping and you won't have a customer with the expectation their item is shipped in an expedited fashion.

Expect poor feedback.
regards,

DW

Dear diabolicwyvern,

Boo hoo.

GTP'ers

Boo hoo... WTF... Are you 🤬 kidding me?? To give more background..I sent this person a message after I paid asking for the tracking and I sent him one the day it was supposed to arrive. Neither of which he responded to. Think I have a case here? I paid for the items on 1/24 and chose expedited (because it was the only option) and he ships them TODAY. They were supposed to arrive on 1/29. Either way, this guy is nuts. I love when he says his internet and car were keeping him from shipping, but then you check his feedback and people who bought items three days after me already have their stuff.

 

[AOS-]

"Boo hoo?" SERIOUSLY? I'm not thinking logically like I normally do, but that's just way over the top for customer service. Negative feedbacks aren't reserved for scams. Put a negative feedback for terrible service. He offered fast shipping and he didn't keep his words. He's totally in the wrong, but won't admit to it. Some buyers occasionally run into problems with sellers, but it's only occasional. It's weird like that.

But for such terrible communication, you should go egg his house! Slash his tires! Take away his lunch money!

 

[a6m5]

When the post started with aggressively toned message from your side, I wasn't sure what to think. But after hearing about couple of messages not getting replies, it becomes totally understandable. Also, do I understand correctly that you paid extra for expedited shipping?

Car trouble, computer trouble, all that I can accept. Having said that, I'd find a way around to take care of people who paid money for my services. You either find a way to communicate, or follow through on the contract. You don't just drop the ball.

I just hope you get your cars in good shape, and even then, it maybe worth your while to open a case with eBay, even if just to make a point? Egging his house, taking his lunch money's OK, but tires are expensive! Crazy Canucks!

OMG THAT'S AWESOME.

Seriously. +rep

I know, right? And that's after I cherry picked 30 cars.

 

[AOS-]

Tires are expensive!

Slash his Real Rider tires.

 

[a6m5]

That makes absolute sense to me now. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yes, I would open a complaint with eBay. He went too far with the Boo Hoo. And you have proof that he shipped other items when he says he couldn't. Plus when you purchase something it's legally binding, and the auction said expedited shipping. And that's what it should have been.

 

[zakyta_4]

Thats just not on:tdown: I don't know if eBay censor's its msg's but if I was replying to that it'd just be a page of these @*#!, not nice at all

A mate and I went for our sunday store run today, wasn't looking good, I did grab an Aventador variation I didn't have (Yellow with black tampos) then we got the last store K-Mart and found a 10 pack each which made it worth it

Here's my pack:

Was stoked to get the Falcon in black

and I managed to grab this out of his pack aswell, which was awesome, didn't think I'd see it this soon

 

[Nessy]

Thanks to At 1ness for the Supra, that thing is great especially with the metal base!

No worries bud, glad you like it. 👍

I forget iv'e got one of these, though it's burgundy with BBS's. After seeing it in white , my burgundy version is screaming out for custom detailing, and new white paint job (yet another custom to add to the list).

 

[CodeRedR51]

*Evasive S2k*

Damn you.

 

[Anathema]

Also, Lamely just posted this and I MUST have it. I will buy it, somehow.

Where and how much? Willing to drop money on this...

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Diabolic Diecast

I found it on the Bay

KMART EXCLUSIVE LOT

And...

I mentioned a few days ago that a Super Walmart was getting built on the site of the antique mall just a few miles from my home. I went there a couple days ago and the HW booth is now 50% off. I ended up scoring these, after discount, for less than $16.
