1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[a6m5]

Can't wait for the new Boulevards. 👍

Did he not know that?

Dunno, but just in case (:

To be honest, I didn't even pay attention, but here's the original listing: Toy Peddler

You guys need to remember, I collect more for what tickles my fancy over pure collectible importance. As always, I do appreciate the info! :tup:

I'm going to take a group picture on my lunch hour to show the scope of work I have to do.

Everything just falls into your lap, doesn't it? All this hard work. Right.

Today in Hot Wheels news...

Love both films, but I'll be buying those cars for the cars, not the movies. Cool looking Nova & Hot Bird, you guys know I won't be able to resist those!

I'll round this out with some pics from 'The Wall':

Still very impressive. 👍 You'd have loved the Matchbox sale they've had in the States, Harry. Mainline MBX were .60 cents, and everything else were something like 40~50% off!

Looks great as always. 👍

I can't wait to get my hands on that 993 GT2! 👍 Been looking for one since I was a kid!

@Wyvern: Woah, that's some work right there, your brother has quite the collection, I like his collection and I'm real jelly also.👍

Well, time to file the cars like they were paperwork.

BTW, I love the cars everyone been picking up recently. Nice, but as always, GIVE THEM TO MEEE!!!!!!

I made the rounds Tuesday and didn't buy a darn thing. Went around today and was mildly successful.

Wal-mart #1 had a pretty fresh H-case dump bin put out. No Star Trek Enterprises and Kool Kombi's to be found though. Seen a lot of ***holes on the internet (not you guys that I know of ) buying those by the dozen so I doubt I find them. But I was able to get every other H-case car I wanted, along with some new Matchbox cars.

2nd wal-mart had a new H-bin as well, but that thing had been cleaned out left and right. But I guess nobody wanted these 60th anniversary cars.

Last wal-mart I went to had nothing new. Actually, they were so sick of new stuff they decided to put some 2011 cars on the pegs!

Cool to see the new Matchbox cars appearing, really want to get the Jaguar XK120! Still haven't checked my stores to see stuff like the recolored AE86 and new Scirocco 24.

Also...that 993 GT2 was posted before, by you R1600. Unless the post meant that it's coming out soon.

 

[photonrider]

MG! Reposting pics? We'll never hear the end of this.

Matchbox Fans!!! Prepare to shop. Till you drop. Bring your laptop along so you can post insantly.

Better photo.

Also, my local grocery store got in some old Boulevard cars and they have a handful of the orange Porsche 914's. I'd offer to get some but have no money, so if they are still there next Friday I can provide if needed...

Yeah that Jag is definitely the highlight of the latest MB batch. Good looking car, glad to have it.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Definitely glad to see it back in the lineup since I missed out on it when I started collecting. Really hope they bring more realistic cars back like the Audi RS6 Avant and Golf GTI, etc.

Ah ok, it did look better than the old one.

If there was any Datsun 510 wagons, I'd throw you some money.

Muscle, muscle, muscle.

Gotcha 👍

That's great! If they have alot of the 914s, I'll take two, if not, one should do me fine .

If they got any Vector W8s, 510 Wagons or anything else good, let me know also.

 

[photonrider]

Here's a Vector W8, Phil.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Man, do I love that car. The W8 and the Countash from Lamborghini are some of the coolest cars from the 80's.

Since GT2, I grown to like the Vector, I hope Jason's grocery store has some or any of my stores here in Vegas, since it will be good for my display case and collection period.

 

[photonrider]

Funny, I've been carrying the Vector around for months now. There's just something about the Vector. Wonder if it actually is featured in any new video game.

The new M3 has so much potential for customising:

 

[SVX]

Stopped by The Warehouse today and noticed that they actually brought in the movie car series everyone talks about. They had everything I've heard about, K.A.R.R, American Graffiti, Smokey and the Bandit, The A Team, etc. $11.99NZD!

Also had an F12 and a 2002 Turbo, but passed.

 

[photonrider]

Did you catch 'em all, then?

 

[SVX]

Did you catch 'em all, then?

I... I...

I didn't buy anything.

 

[a6m5]

My weekly visit to the Walmart netted very little hot wheel-wise:

Damn. I was hoping for Supra. I did get some .22LR ammo, which none of my friends has seen since last year, so that was kind of big deal.

 

[photonrider]

SVX - Okay. Don't worry too much about it. I think when I was your age, I had like ten cars, and that was it. Any new car - even a single one, was gold.
Eventually you'll become an old guy like me, and end up swimming in cars.

Edit: Or you'll end up an old guy (like the guy above ) and end up drowning in cars. Without even actually collecting.

 

[a6m5]

That gold Gasser, I couldn't even remember if I had one, so I got it just in case.

You should be proud of me, Harry. I could have easily bought like ten more cars, some duplicates. I just told myself man, just need one of each. Passed on quite few so-so cars, too!

 

[photonrider]

Well, you bought some ammo instead, so I would say you are cutting down on the addiction.

BTW - have you taken up any other hobbies? Assassination for instance?
Just remember - in an emergency - I can hold onto all your cars for you.

Either 'Ben or DiabolicalWyvern will have this:

Dang . . . time flies. No time, no nothing.

 

[a6m5]

Assassinating beer cans? And ammo wasn't for me, but for my homies who foolishly ran low!

That car...... Flashiest car of the entire thread, maybe?

 

[AOS-]

That gold Gasser, I couldn't even remember if I had one, so I got it just in case.

You don't.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Kyosho 1:64 Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG:

My favorite AMG Mercedes...

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

That DTM AMG from Kyosho makes my HW version look cartoonish!

Looks good 👍.

 

[Sonygamer455]

My dad was just telling me earlier that when he was younger he used to have a old Hot Wheel, I believe it was a tanker, that had a hose that squirted water that he used to play with a lot. I imagine it was a redline because my dad had a massive collection of them. Can ya'll help me figure out what this vehicle is? I would really like know!

 

[Spacegoat]

What?

Kyosho 1:64 Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG:

Just beautiful. Love it in Black. :tup:

 

[Theace37]

Oh my! RwB wat!?!?

 

[a6m5]

Kysho's I got from eBay(what were they, $3.75 ea.?) were marked MSRP 500-Yen on the box, which is roughly $5. Since they are more detailed than Greenlight & M2 models, pricing is not out of line. However, there is a catch. Like CM'S, at least the Kyoshos I've purchased, you don't know which model car you are getting in the box.

You don't.

You were right!
