1/64 Model Collectors Thread

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

I'd be down with that. Let me see if I can take updated pics of my sell/trade lot.

Sounds like a plan, Stan.
I'll be going to that Walmart tonight with all the ZAMACs, and I will of course keep you posted on what I come across there.

 

[a6m5]

OK man, thanks! 👍

Went for a short (6 miles) ride today to another Walmart and no luck there either. Did manage to buy the only Retro Entertainment car they had which was the American Graffiti hot rod.

 

[a6m5]

I've seen some of those Retro Entertainment cars, but never Ghostbusters or Smokey & Bandit. They are really out, right?

 

[MedigoFlame]

I've seen a ton of S&B Firebirds at my local TRU, they actually update! So if anyone still wants any, I could buy some more...

Gah...that Renault 5 makes me want to find that Boulevard one! Still nothing new for Boulevards!

 

[AOS-]

I only saw the Smokey/Bandit Firebird and American Graffiti Edsel. Nothing else.

Oh I also got a white DBS today... was the only thing new, I'm guessing they had a new case and someone already went through it all.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Speaking of getting new stuff, stopped by my local flea market today while getting a new betta fish and found...only this.

Not my pic, but the same color.

 

[a6m5]

Medigo: If you want to check & see if you can get me that Smokey & the Bandit, I have the 60th Gallardo + I've seen the R5 like 2, 3 times since I got my two. I'm thinking I can probably find more.

 

[photonrider]

Kevin, you fight bettas? I had dozens of them when I was younger, bred them, too - we should talk more in the Pet's Thread (we have one right?)

Nice Volvo. Gimme.

Hoping to do some openings tonight, and maybe post some pics.
Someone's yelling about hot dogs and something smells good so got to go for now.

Dammit, D'Wyvern . . . your collection and money-making skills are getting too awesome to cuss.

Could you get me the Datsun 510 wagon and Hakosuka? I'll add some more to your package to make it equal.

I just committed those to McZ. The deal isn't complete, but he came through with couple of 240Zs & Kool Kombi. Had I known that they were still hard to come by, I'd have picked up the other two sets.

That's fine, the R5 and the 60th Gallardo will do. I'll get one S&B Firebird for you.

I'll do my best to find the R5.

Can someone keep an eye out at your Walmarts for the Easter cars? None of my stores seem to be getting them. They would be in the easter section or near the toys in one of those small cardboard sidekicks. (the boxes that hang on the end/side of an isle)

I need the Focus RS and the Ford Ranchero.

I saw the section, didn't even think to look in. We'll do next time.

Posting this here in case anyone is unfamiliar with the 2013 easter line up.



I want that, the metal/metal '65 Malibu, and maybe the Ranchero.


What makes you want the Ranchero, Jason?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I like that casting. Have every other one that's been released so far except for the black one that is showing up in the new multipacks.

 

[AOS-]

Oh I see. What are some other non-Japanese castings do you particularly like?

 

[McZachenF1138]

Already got the Easter cars. Malibu, Ranchero, and Focus are all indeed very nice.

 

[zakyta_4]

All those Zamac's and the Easter cars, wish we had Walmart over here

Finally managed to find this one today, they got a new lot of 10 packs in at Big W

Also got the Falken Cuda Variation

Not sure what to do with all these Evasive S2000's, I've got 5 now, lucky I really like it

 

[Cano]

Was at Vintage Stock last night...

Dude that vintage stock store of yours is amazing :0

You mod them of course.

Nice. 👍 I'll have to keep an eye out for that Ranchero next time I'm digging though the 10 Packs.

Just go ahead and gloat why don't you.

Does that 370Z have a gloss finish, or matte?

 

[zakyta_4]

Will definately give it a go (currently working on my very first custom) once thats done I'll give one a wheel change:tup:

Nice. 👍

Thanks mate, 10 packs are so much better than singles around here lately, but buying them for one or two cars would cost a fortune

Does that 370Z have a gloss finish, or matte?

Its a gloss finish mate, but more of a cross between the two (over here we'd call it a semi-gloss) and not as glossy as normal if that makes any sense:tup:

This week's Matchbox Ambassador Update, including the very first image of the brand new VW Karmann Ghia Type 34:

Ok, I already have that one then. 👍

 

[diabolicwyvern]

I managed to go a week without spending money on eBay.

Then I came across these. Thank goodness for combined shipping!

​

And finally one that was loose...

 

[photonrider]

Gah. Crappy old stuff. Who cares.
