1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Nessy]

Hot wheels in the UK cost between £1 and £1.30 and that's supermarket prices.

 

[W3H5]

Thanks for showing interest, Shem Long.

Just thought maybe I could help you guys out but at those prices I can't offer any benefits.

Shem Long, who's that? (Like the reference)

My Chinese name is 向熊。 &#65307

 

[Doth1s]

If I can get by and pick up some of the R34's I saw the other day I'll mail them to you. I'll send you a pm later today.

Bootleg Dragon God.


My Chinese name is something something 忠. Don't got those tablets to write out characters and I don't know the pinyin either.

Picture of what I found in one of THREE bins. Went to Walmart in sketchy neighborhood...I don't think it's frequented by collectors. I only bought four skyline, 3 of the five spoke (can't think of exact type) impreza wrx, two novas, three 240z, one bumper car and one camaro ss zamac

 

[AOS-]

See. That's how common they should be.

I'd be taking pictures like that too..








if we had any!!!!!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Damn all of you.

If I had a car I wouldn't be complaining because I'd have like 10 stores to search.

I should get a buss pass.

 

[Spacegoat]

Not sure about Europe or Australia.

Hot wheels are normally between $2.00 and $2.30 here.

Oh man, taking a bus around is a huge waste of time spent waiting and traveling. I did that last Friday and I couldn't make a trip to 3 walmarts on 1.5 hour transfer. It's faster and allows you to reach further places than your bike, but just be prepare to waste an entire afternoon doing it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah I just looked it up. Problem is their service on this side of the valley is spotty, and there's not a direct route to the area I wanted to go to. There's not even a route to my work. Lame.

 

[a6m5]

Bus lines has sucky route schedules. Growing up in Japan, busses came every couple of minutes where I lived.

One Walmart I visited, I could have picked up as many Camaros & Novas as I wanted, but I don't even like them. R34, 240Z & Bumper-thing, there wasn't one to find. Disappointing.

McZ already gave me a heads up that he'll look & see if he can find some of those cars to trade for me, but if anybody go shopping at Walmart today, please keep in mind I'm open for trades.

Ideally, I'd want two of 240Z, Bumper & R34, with the 240 & bumper carrying more trade value to me. *edit - I keep forgetting, but I'm also looking for VW Kool Kombi. Thank you.

I don't but I'm interested in one of your Land Cruisers.

I'm planning on keeping that one. One of them has cracked blister or whatever on the card, so I'm gonna open it. If I find another one or if I change my mind, you'll be the first to know..................... or if you find the cars I'm looking for!

Edit: What the heck is this Nissan 350Z? I recommended Tony from Toy Peddler before(seller is: tlewis569), he just listed this Z car for $1.25, loose. I was in process of buying a handful when I came across it. I thought it was one of those stunt race-whatever cars, but wheels look different?

 

[Cano]

You could import Kyoshos and Tomicas for us I do know Tomica and Kyosho brands are widely accessible in HK and those sellers can do free shipping.

THISSTHISTHISTHIS!!!! Do it Shem, DOOO EEEEEEETTTTTTT

Normal run of the mill mainline release, 2007 or 8:

 

[Doth1s]

I hit up my local Wal-Mart, but it was straight jacked. I did find another ZAMC R34, though.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Normal run of the mill mainline release, 2007 or 8:

I have an extra one of those if anyone needs it...

 

[Cano]

Scored these, the price was ridiculous!

 

[MedigoFlame]

Stopped by at Walmart on my way home from the shop.

Managed to find one 240Z, 10SP Subie, and a Falcon.

 

[a6m5]

Nice. 👍 I need the Falcon, too.

Normal run of the mill mainline release, 2007 or 8:

Really digging the wheels. Thank you for posting that Cano. 👍

Edit: Just ordered two Bump Around from Toy Peddler, so now I'm just looking for up to two Zamac R34, 240Z, VW Kool Kombi.

Not that I don't want to look, but I probably won't find them here (not before you if anything).

The 240Z is likely, unlike the Kombi and R34 based off a gut feeling.... and I got guts.

 

[Doth1s]

As I said, my WM was pretty busted, but this is what I picked up earlier:

Second Time by D34DMerc, on Flickr​

 

[a6m5]

There is that elusive Zamac R34.

Well guys, I noticed the same seller I'm buying Bump Around from has Z34(this is the new short code for the Zamac R34 lol), so I asked if I could buy couple from him. He says he can add them to my invoice, so now I'm looking for just the 240Z & Kook Kombi(fat chance on this, I know).

McZ: You still have another car I want. That Tony Kanaan 7-Eleven car.

Not that I don't want to look, but I probably won't find them here (not before you if anything).

I'll keep a look out for the Land Cruiser. 👍

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Someone insulted me and I gave him a piece of my mind.

Internet tough guys all the time resorting to trash talk everyone as their last resort :rollseye:.

Just ignore them and they will go away or get into trouble. That's what I do with the 🤬 morons who insult games or their developers, electronics and cars. They want to pick stupid fights with knowledgeable enthusiasts or say outrageous things to get your attention (some sites [YouTube] a lot of racial, sexism or homophobic comments that make anyone sick or laugh at their sheer stupidity) instead of criticism that's reasonable and respectable.

The little kids these days :facepalm:.

At Walmart now, easily twenty of each Ford falcon, 240z, zamac gtr, nova swat th...only 2 bumper cars and just 1 Camaro ss zamac though.

Let the jelly rage begin.....

When I started reading this, I was thinking you got your dad involved with your HWC ban.

GTPlanet us the only place where I would feel genuinely bad about getting banned. Everywhere else I wouldn't care.

I was thinking of that as well . But yeah, I love GTPlanet and I wouldn't want to get banned here as well. I'm also a member of NASIOC, Evolutionm, S2KI&US enthusiasts site and soon for Silvia/240SX/Z club, some MS and Apple forums, HWC and ForzaPlanet later. But I really enjoy being here more often though. From meeting alot of cool people on this site and even more, who wouldn't want to leave or get banned here?

Walmart stop was a negative.

Or say you have to get something else, but this WalMart doesn't have (insert something important.) That can always work too .

But it's hard with my parents though .

Daddy, daddy! This man made fun of my favourite shirt!

Don't worry son, let me handle this. (rolls up sleeves) (proceeds to start typing on keyboard)

This made me 👍

Whatever.

Edit: Took this a minute ago, so I would feel better; it's all the stuff that's awaiting opening.

I still don't feel better though, a6m5. However will keep an eye out for Bus, Zamac, 240Z, and Fender cars.

That's a lot of cars there Harry, need help opening them . I got quite a few I need to bust open from their blister garages but I haven't got to it yet.

BTW, love the green Camaro. 👍

Free Zamacs on the way for me.

Congrats on the cars 👍. How many are you receiving?

Just thought maybe I could help you guys out but at those prices I can't offer any benefits.

Welcome to the club Shem. I saw your posts earlier from the model car thread as well. Don't mind more people entering the hobby. 👍

You.......you.....YOU!!!!! Arrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!

Gimmie those R34s and Novas!!!! Aaasasrrraaarraahhhhhbbbj!! Phew, I need my meds.

I have an extra one of those if anyone needs it...

Ohhh..... I'll take it .

 

[OtakuTaikun]

Meanwhile in Rosemead....

found this on the shelf of my local walmart and proceeded to /facepalm and laugh my ass off.

Also saw a hotwheels 10pk with the Evasive S2000 and Falken Cuda.....recolor. >.> still haven't picked up the regular falken cuda.

Plus i have not found ONE R34 or any zamac cars this trip. No boulevards, and no hot ones, or flying customs, or whatever. maybe franks this weekend, so maybe....

 

[a6m5]

I thought the Matchbox set was one of those cool, unique finds, just until I read the actual post.

It's strange you haven't found the new Boulevards & Flying Customs. They are starting to show up everywhere here, along with the Retro Entertainment. Hot Ones, that's been dead in my area for over a year now.

 

[OtakuTaikun]

Nope the walmart by my house was full of the Monza Flying Custom, Hot Bird Hot Ones, and that three wheeled boulevard car with the disk wheels... yea i know that's hella old and that's what im saying. I can only pick up new boulevards and hot ones at Frank and Sons which totally sucks because all the scalpers snatch up the good ones.... >.> someone picked up three Supras last time i was there. He told his friend he would've taken more if there was any

EDIT: and that walmart is usally well stocked. The other stores (EG target, TRU, etc) are usally WAAAAAY behind this store so it's been pretty sad lately

 

[a6m5]

I'd be frustrated about not being able to get the likes of Countach, Supra, Brat Hot Ones, if they were actually little bit cooler. It helps that Hot Wheels really uglified them. I still had to get Sunagon from Andy, also two Hare Splitter from eBay.

I just looked for Hot Ones Brat online, and you couldn't get them for cheaper than ten bucks. They are short production, apparently. Good thing the Boulevard version with nicer paint & rubber tires are coming out soon.

You may be laughing . . .

MB must be in trouble if HW and Maisto have to help out like this.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I would have given that MBX pack to management and told them what the deal was. I had to do that with a couple cars the other day at the grocery store where someone swapped the wheels and returned them.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Was at Vintage Stock last night...

Couldn't believe they'd let a 2012 greenlight go for .99. The loose cars were all .49/piece so I'm more pleased about getting three different playset police cars for that price. Although the power command 57 Chevy is petty cool.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I dunno a6, I really like my IndyCar, I do have a Kool Kombi that I can part with though.



DW, closeup of that Funny Money, now!

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Better pictures of what I grabbed from Vintage stock plus the Wal mart cats I did open.
The Renault 5, 55 Chevy and Ertl car are recent acquisitions that I hasn't put away yet.
