1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Sonygamer455]

Im not trying to go off topic, but has anyone here ever played Test Drive for the Playstation 2? (Also known as Test Drive Overdrive)

 

[Cano]

Good thing you're not trying.

And nope.

*Checks thread title*



Yes you are, Dillon. Yes, you, are.

What about the game?

 

[Sonygamer455]

Like i said earlier..... Don't judge too quickly.

Well what im getting at is in the game, there is a racer in there named Hamada and he drove a modified custom Supra named after him and since they now have a Supra that is a little bit more original (or least hoping they do), im thinking about making a replica of his car.

I don't have good picture of it anywhere right now, but it is pretty cool.

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

Yes the original photo is very dark, and obviously not sitting on a wood table...

 

[Apok]

I have a very valuable and 100% serious contribution to make!
So if any of you don't have the funds for an airbrush right now, here's a nice trick!




EDIT: totally thought this was the customization thread as I am a huge derp, but most of you visit both anyway.

Small selection of my Hotwheels & Matchbox Collection

My Superbirds:

A few of my top favorites:

Embarrassingly enough, I recorded a video of my collection (instead of pictures, it would just take to long...), but I don't think y'all would want to see that!

 

[McZachenF1138]

Oh yeah, got these at Five Below yesterday.



That makes the sixth $TH between my girlfriend and I.
I almost didn't want to go and just get something to eat, but my girlfriend insisted on going. She got the carded VW.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Im jealous of those vehicles! I still don't have that Flintmobile yet.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Im jealous of those vehicles! I still don't have that Flintmobile yet.

I've only seen it at the Friday meets, never seen it in stores. Finally caved in last week and bought one at the meet for $3.

 

[Sonygamer455]

I would be tempted too if i can't ever find one in stores. Curious but is the whole body made of plastic?

 

[McZachenF1138]

I took this of my opened Flintmobile just for you Dillon.


Everything is plastic aside from the the base, which is below that crease. Also, it has regular 5SP wheels in case you were wondering like I was.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Well thank you McZachen! Right when i saw that photo, before i even read your message i could tell it had wheels instead. I figured it was plastic. Reason i asked is because i still plan to participate in this contest AOS- started and im wondering if decals will bound on plastic. Anyone know?

 

[AOS-]

Also, it has regular 5SP wheels in case you were wondering like I was.

But bro, does it even roll?.

No deal! No deal!

 

[McZachenF1138]

Found six gold MC5 Subies, eight Live Batmobiles, four red Olds 442 PR5 variatons, and four black Ducattis at Walmart. Speak up if those interest you.

 

[Spacegoat]

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

From the Hot Wheels wiki.

The cars with this odd design caused a financial loss for Mattel and the sales of Fatbax cars were unsuccessful. They were found in stores in 2005. Fatbax cars will never be produced again.

Judging from the photo's. Not terribly surprising.

 

[a6m5]

Damn, nice cars. All of you. 👍 zakyta's replica vehicle's the most interesting for me, but all very cool cars. 👍

I stopped by Toys R Us on the way home, and while I didn't find what I went there looking for(Retro Entertainment), I did FINALLY run into the new Boulevards! I know I'm late to the game, but I might be the first one in here to run into them in the stores? TRU has them for $4, but even Walmart's $3.49 on these, so I bought two of what I was after.

Also, "Car Town" Chevy from TRU & Twin Mill from eBay:

 

[Vince]

My younger brother came back from Target with a Hotwheel. He was playing with it, and simply said "I don't like this one!" and gave me this:

Uh, thanks brother...? xD

 

[a6m5]

It's probably stolen. Smart kid.

 

[Vince]

It's probably stolen. Smart kid.

No doubt. He had to get rid of the item with heat.

Got one of those Flintmobiles when they first came out and I've opened it already. Rather amusing knowing that I've been able to find several of the desired diecast models when they first came out on the pegs and only bought one of them. Was never really desirable to me...but I thought I'd have one anyways. Like the Kool Kombi, Mystery Machine, Flintmobile and some other models I can't remember... Always coming to the store when the pegs were newly stocked and then never seeing them again.

Nice Super T-Hunt Zach!

And a6m5...I am...JEALOUS!!!! 🤬 you for finding those Renault 5 Turbos, Datsun 510 Wagons, and Hakosukas!!!!! ARGGGGHHH!!!! I want to go look for them tomorrow ASAP, but with my mother home, she'll be asking me where I'm going and yell at me... Hoping to see them on Saturday. Still though...extremely jelly.

Edit: Not sure if I'm late to the party, but Lamley posted this ebay sale. 5 new 2013 Boulevards. And if these actually appear in stores, I might finally be able to get that CR-X! Never found the Hot Ones...

[diabolicwyvern]

You know that feeling when you're bidding on something (on eBay) and the whole time you have the suspicion that no matter how high you bid, someone is going to snipe it. You're thinking, "No way its, going to go for this little... I better bump the max again."

I'm going through that right now with a rather large lot of cars. I'm the only bidder (and I've already bid 4 times Every 3-4 hours I find myself checking the listing thinking that it'll be the time the price doubles.

 

[a6m5]

Just watch the clock, bro. Counter snipe it.

Like the Kool Kombi, Mystery Machine, Flintmobile and some other models I can't remember... Always coming to the store when the pegs were newly stocked and then never seeing them again.

Never seen them in stores. Mystery Machine, Jason hooked me up with. Kool Kombi & Flintstone car, I'm probably gonna have to hit eBay to get them.

And a6m5...I am...JEALOUS!!!! 🤬 you for finding those Renault 5 Turbos, Datsun 510 Wagons, and Hakosukas!!!!! ARGGGGHHH!!!!

Boulevard cars are MUCH easier to find though. It sure took me awhile to finally run into these, but it's only the very first of this release I've run into. I fully expect to start seeing them at Walmart any day now. However, just like that blue Camaro I'm still after, you have to get it when you see it(Camaro I ditched due to long line at the register. Never saw it again.).

I checked eBay and 510's still going for close to, or around $10. Even the Skyline's fetching $6-ish. When you see them, get them. My set of three can be had for the right price. I got them as possible trade bait.

Never found the Hot Ones...

Even I found those...... like probably 30 of them, or more. Sorry.

I'd buy all those in the picture! 👍
Edit: Wheel/tire on the Long Gone....... somebody should go to prison. 👎

 

[Vince]

Here's a video I made of my collection earlier this afternoon. After I was done recording this, I forgot I had 2 more cases under my bed Q_Q

Excuse the quality and sound.



If you see anything you wanna see more close up, I don't have a problem taking a better photo 👍

 

[MedigoFlame]

The blue Camaro laid around for almost a week at my Walmart before disappearing. Managed to grab one because...I felt like it. Of which I really need to lay off buying what I think looks nice and focus on more specifics things. Or else I'll end up going through quite a bit of money I should be saving for my project car... Going "Oh! That's a nice one. I think I'll just pick up one of these...they look cool. Why not?"

The Boulevards are indeed a lot easier to find than the Hot Ones. The stock for the Hot Ones barely updates, but at the same time the Boulevards barely sell. Still got Vectors, Civics, and Olds 442s sitting on the pegs. Last time I looked at Walmart, they only had one peg for Boulevards and they were overflowing... TRU might be my only hope. Target doesn't even have Boulevards the past month or two that I've looked. Fingers are very crossed for those three cars to appear.

(If I bought that Datsun 510 wagon that appeared on my craigslist, at least I'd have a diecast model of it I could find locally... Almost regret it, but at the same time. The Crown is...well...awesome.)

Out of those new Boulevards in the ebay listing, I'd grab the CRX and Fiesta. The Long Gone seemed more interesting as a Hot Ones than a Boulevard.

 

[a6m5]

Nice collection there Pink. 👍 I saw that Mini again. Love the color!

Olds 442s

I love 442s, but I couldn't bring myself to buy that one. People must like it, because I've seen that one probably only four, five times. But the color.

Let me know if you want me to keep my eyes open for Hot Ones CR-X, also the Boulevard trio. 👍

 

[MedigoFlame]

There's tons of those 442s here. Toys R Us and Walmart have plenty of them, so if you do want one... Trade?

Edit: Kind of curious... Has anyone else found the Maisto Elite Transport GT-R? I've already found one, I'm just bringing it up for anyone who doesn't know about it. Or...no one's really bothered to find it.

 

[a6m5]

There's tons of those 442s here. Toys R Us and Walmart have plenty of them, so if you do want one... Trade?

No way, Jose! Just like that Boulevard Twin Mill, I like the casting, but I seriously can't get over the paint job Hot Wheels gave those cars(with Twin Mill, it's actually the headlight tampos).

I misunderstood your post. For some reason, I thought you were telling me that they were rare, though in my area, 442 kind of is(I still had plenty of chances to buy it, if I wanted to). My bad.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Oh ok, that was a complete misunderstanding. It's fine. The Twin Mill Boulevard disappeared pretty quickly, only place I found it was at a Walmart almost an hour away (going through backroads). Never been there before until my friends took me there to get some PC supplies. That one was an absolute mess and the pegs still had mid 2012 stuff, barely.

 

[Cano]

Screw you all with supermarket premium series. Also, the 2013 Boulevard 66 Chevelle is awesome.
