1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Urgh, the custom Fleetwood and the Nova wagon.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Realistically Cano, how many of each of those would you buy?

 

[CodeRedR51]

None of them Hot Wheels have arrived at my Wal Mart yet.

That's because they've been hitting in the last couple days or so. Just keep an eye on it this week. I'll be swinging by my store on the way home looking for the Subaru and the Falken Cuda.

Well frankly, vehicles that were released from a few months back still haven't showed up there. It wasn't til like a month ago the Boulevard Corvette and Vector finally showed up there. My Wal Mart sucks doesn't it?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Try another one? Surely you have more than one?

Didn't think it would but it's for real.

2013 Special Edition Camaro. Has the redline wheels and even a hot wheel logo on the grille.

 

[McZachenF1138]

You just now knew about this?

 

[AOS-]

Actually, I saw it in a recent paper at the train station yesterday. The article I looked up just now for said picture was from Oct of last year but I thought I'd share my new-acquired knowledge.

 

[CodeRedR51]

You just now knew about this?

Yeah, welcome to 4 months ago.

 

[a6m5]

I didn't know. Kinda cool.

Please, page 1 is so overrated. Page 15 is where it's at.

It goes up to 15 pages? When I upgrade to faster computer, maybe I can visit it without my browser crashing, check up on the post count with reading glasses.

Love you man.

Outbid today by 50¢ on the only OH5 BMW 2002 on eBay.
Made me 🤬 mad.

I won by .21 cents last night.

Thats why auctions suck.

No-no-no-no-no-no, it's definitely a viable option. There are games involved, but by not playing them, you are limiting your options.

Edit: Also, when Jason & Andy were talking about prices, was Jason talking about the Retro Entertainment while Andy was discussing Boulevard car prices? I don't know, I got confused. Doesn't take much.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I suppose I'll ask first to save embarrassment, but did any of you guys hear about the 1:1 Whatta Drag?

 

[Sonygamer455]

Yep i have seen pictures of it.

Good point. Maybe he can clarify, I was talking Retro.

One, lol. Maybe two of the Cadillac because it has a lot of potential for a cool custom.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Yea i do, but my family doesn't go to any other Wal Mart's very often. Going to different Wal Mart's is the only way i ever managed to get the Curiousity Mars Rover and the Minion Pig. Two vehicles that i also am yet to see at my local Wal Mart.

No-no-no-no-no-no, it's definitely a viable option. There are games involved, but by not playing them, you are limiting your options.

Yea i agree, Sometimes thats the only way i find what im looking for, but i only do it ifit is something i really want.

And I was talking boulevards. What planet are you on?

 

[CodeRedR51]

And I was talking boulevards. What planet are you on?

The planet that was talking about Retro Entertainment cars when you came in with a completely different discussion. Open your eyes man!

I just bought my first hotwheels car

 

[McZachenF1138]

It's all down hill from here bud!

 

[a6m5]

Block access to this thread, also eBay, you should be alright.

I just bought my first hotwheels car.

I've just received a copy of transcript from a recent therapy session between a friend of newly minted collector Johnsom and his/her therapist.

...........

When was the last time Johnsom acted normal in your estimation?

Well, he's been one way for as long as I've known him.

And what changed?

He bought his first Hot wheels.

And now how is he different?

Well, it was little things at first, things only a close fried would pick up on. Then one day, he told me about the mad props he gave a coworker. I assumed he was extolling him...but I was wrong. Turns out mad props was actually Madd Propz...

Could be a knock-off. Check carefully to see if that's an original, ok?

 

[McZachenF1138]

I think we scared him off guys.

Knock off??? Seriously... Even hotwheels have knockoffs?

I also have bigger scale collection and believe me I am trying to get out of the hole I dug myself.

If only I can find some more of these showroom hot wheels.

It's no knock off, obviously...... I hope you find more cool cars. Welcome to the club.

Which Walmart/Toys R Us do you go to?

Block access to this thread, also eBay, you should be alright.

eBay's more than enough. Take it from me - the man who's put down probably around $300 in shipping costs over the past year.

believe me I am trying to get out of the hole I dug myself.

Believe me guys, I'm trying to lay off the diecast model cars. I started buying Hot Wheels instead."

Great financial plan! I should probably stop buying hot wheels and start buying AutoART cars instead.

Anything can have knock-offs, johnsom. Anything.

It's no knock off, obviously......

What? Did you even notice the wheels? Trusting you about Hotwheels - a guy who doesn't even collect - is like trusting a monkey with a drum. Sorry, I'll only believe Cano's word on this.

We're all in the hole - so welcome, and we're happy for that; misery loves company. Most of us in the discussion here have other scales, too - but the 1:64s of course are a lot more fun in the sense that they offer one a huge variety, are inexpensive, and can take a lot of handling.
As for finding Showroom HWs - keep an eye out; they'll continue to surface at odd places - always check any Store that has a toy aisle.

Oh, another poor soul. Welcome man. Your next buy should be the 1995 '67 Camaro Trasure Hunt, or the Maserati Mistral redline. Google them.

Speaking of knock-offs...
