1/64 Model Collectors Thread

hahaha I've found $THs at dump bins, one of the most difficult to find from years ago, the Fire Eater fire truck. I've also found countless regular THs in bins, but nothing really extraordinary, just that one $TH.

Really cool one though. Never even heard of that one before, I just looked it up & it looks awesome. 👍 Just tell me that you didn't traumatize any child shopper. j/k

hahaha no no that one was a legit dump bin dig-out, the only TH at the store, because I spent well over half an hour on that bin. The regular version came later, in a trade.

Did a bit of a road trip today, went to a town about 45mins away and got some pretty cool grabs:tup:
Firstly some 2012 stuff & a couple of Matchbox

Then some 2011's & 2010's

Some more 2012's & a Matchbox

A group of DeLoreans

And lastly some 2013's, carded Evasive S2000, inverted AE-86, 911 GT3, Scirocco, red Olds 442 & Speedbox

 

[Cano]

Ack, another Hakosuka. I'm chasing one down ):

 

[photonrider]

Nice set of DeLoreans, and that VW is not too common; hold on to it.

You never said you needed one, I see them all the time at grocery stores that still have old stock.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Guys, I found more ZAMACs than I know what to do with.
Let me know and I will go back tomorrow.

 

[AOS-]

2 '66 Novas, 2 R34s please.

Was there anything else?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I currently have my parents looking for Zamacs for me.

@ Zach - any 240Z's there?

 

[Cano]

Gah. No, now that I think about it, I never said anything in here, lol . If you see more, could you snag a couple for me, please?

 

[RCKakashi14]

Just three of them left... I have the amuse Z and Orido's Supra.

It would be one hell of a search for them. I don't mind the mystery car, since it's the same as the RE Amemiya FD.

 

[AOS-]

Who's to say that silhouette ain't just a placeholder? Also, they need lowering. I think you should go put some time into making that happen. It'll be worth it.

This is the mystery car:

What if he doesn't want to ruin them by taking them apart?

 

[Apok]

AOS took a Kyosho apart, so don't even bother.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Yes Jason, there certainly were some 240Zs there. Not too many though.

The idiots normal employees of Walmart put a full size dump bin amount of cars into a half size dump bin. There were so many cars that I had to go get the largest storage bin I could find and start dumping the cars into that just to thin it out.
I was actually kinda surprised not to find a $uper Bone Shaker with how many cars were there.
What was also strange was that there was only one yellow Chevroletor, in which I bought.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just use a shopping cart. 👍

If possible, grab me a x2 Skylines and x1 Nova + the 240Z?

Once you have them, get everything packed up with other stuff I have waiting and I can pay for it to get shipped out.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Sounds like a plan. 👍

 

[Doth1s]

I saw that bumper car up there, so I stopped in my local Wal-Mart today and didn't see any of those. However, I saw four or five of the R34 ZAMACs and three of the Camaros.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Sold my First Edition and Hot Auction Veyrons on Amazon for 24.99 and 32.99

Considering I had just 1.98 in them together... it was a good day

 

[CodeRedR51]

Told you.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I think I'm happier to hear about you getting that kind of money for them than if I would have spent that much to get one myself.

 

[Doth1s]

As mentioned earlier, I had stopped by my local WM to look around. I haven't bought any thing like this in over ten years, nor did I realize that the HW's were under a buck a piece! I also didn't realize that they made bikes now.

:0 oi, wtf!!! That's a hell of a lot of money! I knew you'd make a penny off those but I was thinking in the 10-15 range. Anyone care to explain why these are so expensive? :0

 

[McZachenF1138]

It's a Veyron.

My friend, Kyosho rivets are so easy to remove I can take them out with my eyes closed and arms behind my back.

Yes Jason, there certainly were some 240Zs there. Not too many though.

Can I also get like 2 or 3 Datsuns in the cart as well if you don't mind? Card condition doesn't matter. I'll be taking them all apart anyway, except for 1 Skyline and Nova.

Mattel lost the licensing to make the car, so it won't be produced ever again. Plus, Veyron. As Zach said.

I'm just saying if I spend that much on a car I wouldn't be customizing them. That's what $1 Hot Wheels are for.

 

[AOS-]

Naturally, but would you consider customizing them if Mattel never made that casting? What if you seek a much finer casting to work with? While Kyoshos cost at least 8 times a mainline, I don't mind breaking one open if it means I'll have better foundations to work with. It's like trying to put sirloin up against tenderloin at whichever one is better for a steak. The money doesn't matter so long as the output is greater.

Sure thing. I sent your package today so I will add these next cars to another rapidly-filling box.
So, you're saying I can cut down the cards except for two ZAMACs?

 

[jtl46]

Yea I do agree that the PR5's look closer to what it really has in the movie, but I think 5SP's look better on it.

And you will be able to have both...
