1/64 Model Collectors Thread

It's on the last page for me.

Nice collection Pink, hope to see it grow.

Might actually pick up the Enterprise, I used to watch the reruns on Spike TV back when we had it. Every time I got home from school, I'd go to Spike TV to watch it while I did homework. But as for the Boulevard 993 GT2... Although I'm not sure I'm that big on those wheels for the GT2.

jtl46, I'll always be looking at the Lamley Group posts, even if they aren't as quick as T-Hunted. 👍

Since no one posted the pictures of them on this thread yet.

Nice to see the R35 GT-R back and nice to see the Supra in a decent scale...apart from the decals and spoiler... And the wheels seem a bit wrong for that car. They should totally add the black Hakosuka from Fast Five into the mix! Also the R33 from the first movie, I want an R33! And I don't care how many people dislike it, I love the R33! I must be weird...

I was kidding Medigo as I sent AOS the car. Did you think I wouldnt know something about a mainline from the 90s?? Foolish mortal!

Sheesh and I thought this was a nice thread full of nice people. My apologies sir.

This thread updates faster as I thought! I can't keep up with you... Here are my latest purchases:



I like your idea Pinkintron! I'll plan to go to Michael's this weekend.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah, looks like it's going to be a "sidekick" display thing around when the movie comes out. I'll put money on that. And the Supra is a new model too, because Hot Wheels has never done an MK4 Supra.

 

[MedigoFlame]

They have done the MK4 Supra before, but 'Tooned... Would you say the spoiler's a part of the molding?

That "Super Tsunami" thing doesn't count.

Yes, metal spoiler.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Awww, wish it was a plastic spoiiler... Once it comes out, I hope one of you guys makes it as stock as possible. ;P

And I was talking about this Supra. Not the Super Tsunami.

Nice collection Pink, hope to see it grow.

I mostly pick them up from car shops and swap meets when I go with my father.

Here's a better quality photo of my collection, so you can tell what some of the cars are

I have yet to open and customize one, though.

EDIT: That glare is quite killer, ain't it? Anyway, the one that is covered by the damn glare is Way 2 Fast, in a darker brown metallic color with some blue decals.

Nice Mini, but what is that 3 spot up? *edit - nevermind, I see it's Evo. 👍

Kevin & Jason: Don't forget the Fatbax Supra(hot wheels).

 

[Spacegoat]

Real nice stuff there, Pinkintron. 👍

Had to look that one up. Wish I didn't.

Thank you! It's only the beginning!

I also have a TON of opened ones I had as a kid, might share those when I have the time.

I've ran into it online, but I've yet to own one. Now we know why!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Unless it's stock-ish body, it doesn't count to me. That's the only reason I collect the 24/seven, as it's damn near an FD RX-7. "Tooned" is crap, Super Tsunami would be ok with all small wheels, the large rear wheels ruin it so therefore it's crap too.

Bought a SIKU Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG today.


Images to follow.

U.S.S Enterprise

Did my store run today, here's what I grabbed from K-mart:tup:

\/These are made by Welly Die Casting, they are VW 1962 Microbus, 2002 WRX STi & 1968 Z28 Camaro, they had alot more like Audi, Porsche & Toyota, I'll open these see what they're like and might grab some more

The Shelby's I grabbed from Safeway, Frogster was from Toyworld

SIKU's for Ben
@Ben: PM me your address mate and I'll send them straight off:tup:

And lastly an eBay delivery

 

[Vince]

Wow, really cool zakyta! I really like that 5-pack you got. Also, can I get a close up photo of that Tesla Roadster? I have yet to find one.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Wow i was just thinking about why they don't have a regular Supra because i had a custom in mind and then you post this! Sweet!

I am glad you enjoy the blog. T-Hunted and Lamley are actually quite different. He breaks most if the new stuff and tries to keep the latest news updated. The bulk of my posts are photo profiles of models new and old(er). There are occasions when a reader shares a new find that I think would really interest our readers, and I know it was found legitimately.

I got word of the F&F series over the weekend with the same photos, but those models were not found in a store, so they stay off the blog. Occasionally I get fooled, but Mattel has been good to me so I try and be good to them.

Doug at T-Hunted is a good guy and gets flamed on HWC, but those guys probably visit his site first everyday to see what is new. He and I talk most days...

I don't like T-Hunted mainly because I can't understand a freaking bit of what they write, even if portuguese is way closer to spanish than english.

Google translate works well enough for me. But I don't go there to read the site.

5SPs on a Supra? Mattel please... it's like you're doing this on purpose.

I'll be all over the F&F cars, Will definitely have to grab 3 of each.

In their defense those wheels are the closest they have to the real ones.

 

[AOS-]

PR5s would've made a better impression. It's not dual-spoked, but at least it actually comes off as a sports car this way.

 

[Cano]

I'm with AOStina on this, PR5s would have worked miles better on the thing. Lower profile tires too.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Whatever, to each their own. You're buying 3 of each, make it how you want.

 

[Cano]

On top of the whinning, that thing might well be a prototype, it could end up with other wheels. Or is there real word that those are dead-official as they are?

 

[CodeRedR51]

That looks like one of those "fresh off the production line" photoshopped images that always show up on T-Hunted.

 

[Cano]

Well then, we'll see. I only know one thing: I won't see them over here.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah like I said I highly expect these to be in a cardboard "sidekick" in Walmart stores in May.
