1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[zakyta_4]

Wow, some awesome cars there guys

Haven't had much of a chance to get out and browse the stores lately, doing 10hr days at work and kids on school holidays, but hopefully this weekend I can get out and about

Did get a couple of deliverys from eBay today:

Lol, wtf with the moooing?

 

[Apok]

I think it adds charm.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Lol, wtf with the moooing?

They're Lamborghinis, so....

Lol, wtf with the moooing?

Photos weren't getting any attention so....

 

[RCKakashi14]

Photos weren't getting any attention so....

That's what I do with my Lambo pictures. It's just my little gimmick.


EDIT: Just say whatever you want. I am not desperate for attention like what you think.

Spring is upon us and with my bikes tuned and ready for race season, I'll be hunting for toys infrequently. I hope to be posting monthly thru September unless I run across something ridiculous. What this means for you all is that when I post, the content will be awesome! I've got a few things left from March to upload, and then it's just a waiting game till my birthday extravaganza at months end. I'm going to two shows and an antique mall a few hours away that has a both with over 3,000 loose mint cars! I've heard the hush hush whispers about it and I've taken a day off from work to check it out.

I'm jelly nao!!! A F10 M5 from RMZ, in a grocery store in the States?! I'm shocked .

Was the store a Kroger store chain where your brother found it or was it a different one? This can be a great thing if it's part of the latter. Then I can find something like the F10!

We don't have any stores from the Kroger chain. It was in Shaws, only in New England (VT, NH, MA, ME, RI). Annoyingly though, it's one in the neighboring city and not in our local Shaws in my town. And I haven't seen any in any other Shaws here. But you might be able to find them in Rite Aid.

We'll have to go see what's available, as not all of the models have reached the store in here. We'll try to go this weekend and let you know wtf is up. You could also tell Ahmed what the heck you have available, as you're going to be doing business with him, lol.

Apologies for my ignorance, but I'm guessing Ahmed would be RCKakashi? I'm not sure any of my models would be that great, but if a trade doesn't work out, there's always PayPal. >_>

I am not Ahmed....

You really need to peek at the custom thread from time to time, dude. Ahmed is a friend of mine over here, he's the one that first found the RMZs here in Mexico. He mostly posts in the customizing thread.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Oh sorry! I suspected that due to the common postings of the RMZs.

 

[Nexcalibur]

Are Siku available in the states?

 

[MedigoFlame]

No, they aren't available in the states unfortunately.

Stopped by the local flea market today and got these.

Murcielago
Lotus Elise Sport
Audi TTS (finally another speed machines!)
Viper ACR
Mini Cooper
Fourth of July Saleen S7
Got the Kung Fu series MR2 for Andy. (kinda out of the picture )

Ok, thanks for the heads up 👍. I have seen Rite Aids around here in Vegas and in San Diego and LA when I go out there. But finding a Rite Aid where Walgreens and CVS are everywhere is going to be finding a RUF CTR in a garage full with a lot of cars.

But I'll keep my eyes out.

@RCK: Nice cars bro. 👍

@medigo/Kevin: Do they have any more of the Viper ACRs, Audi TT-RSs and more R35 and R34 GTRs?

 

[MedigoFlame]

There are no more ACRs, TTS, or GTRs. If there were, I'd have already hoard them. Traded all my ACRs (except for two I believe) to Andy.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Oh, ok. Just wanted to know. Since I'm after the ACRs, TTS, GTRs and some other cars myself. Yes, they are on my most wanted list also and probably needed 2-4 of them, depending on color and inside it's package..

 

[AOS-]

Murcielago
Lotus Elise Sport
Audi TTS (finally another speed machines!)
Viper ACR
Mini Cooper
Fourth of July Saleen S7

Were there anymore more Elises and/or Murcielagos?

Did get a couple of deliverys from eBay today:

Those are cool and only 99c too. Damn, great buy. 👍

 

[AOS-]

Some First Edition buys from eBay:

'57 Cadillac El Dorado

Cadillac LMP

'01 Honda Civic Si

Thomassima III

Deuce Roadster Zamac (not FE). ^ See that discolouring? LOVE IT.

Paid $5.50 for 11 cars, + $17 shipping. Sound pricey but considering how a seller as popular as wheelcollector ships a single car for $12 (+$1.25 per additional), $10.50 (+$0.50 per additional) isn't such a bad deal.

What's wrong with you guys! "Mooo" is funny! Anyways, here's two cars I got in the mail today:

This Land Rover is the lost parcel from February! It just showed up today like nothing ever happened. Bubble envelope looks brand new, I have no idea what it is. Even before I put the package in the trunk, I couldn't even wait to see what this mysterious package contained, whip open my knife, the package then BAM! My Rover's here!(like couple months late) Detailed shots of the Tamiya Supra below. Detail's top notch(a shocker), she's a beaut!

All the way. If there was more of these type of stores in the States, think of the money they can make from people. From diehard collectors like us and even to mainstream, mostly Black Friday or holiday seasons, sell things cheaper than larger stores like TRU or Walmart. It could take off like a 1,000hp RB26 or a 8.4L V10 TT (pun or analogy was intended) especially selling imported goods. 💡

But the real question is how would these stores handle this and their competition though, plus with the economy and other financial problems?

Good point. With the internet dominating, perhaps the days of little local hobby stores are dead anyways.

Pick these Hot Stocks up for a 99c opening bid

You can not beat that! 99 cents, even just for one car w/o the accessories would've been a decent deal. 👍

 

[Doth1s]

That Supra sure is purdy.

 

[a6m5]

I'm interested to see what other Tamiya 1/64 cars there are out there. Hard to beat a black Supra!

 

[Cano]

:0 dat Supra

I didn't even know Tamiya made 1:64s how much?

 

[Spacegoat]

That Supra sure is purdy.

Seconded.

Hard to beat a black Supra!

It sure is.

Great score. 👍

 

[RCKakashi14]

I'm interested to see what other Tamiya 1/64 cars there are out there. Hard to beat a black Supra!

There are others such as:

Nissan Fairlady Z Z33
Honda S2000
Mazda Miata NA
Nissan Skyline GT-R R34
Nissan Skyline GT-R R32

Another mall here has a small store that sells those...

 

[a6m5]

Miata actually sounds interesting. Others are cool, too.

I got it straight from Japan(still made in China ) from this eBay seller. It's not cheap, but I'm happy with what I received!

Edit: Ah, here's the Miata.

 

[MedigoFlame]

I have to get that Supra... And not cheap? Pffft, that's still cheaper than a Tomica Limited.

Were there anymore more Elises and/or Murcielagos?

No more, but I can give you my Murcielago, I already have another one so I'll be happy to get that ready for you.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Tamiya 1/64s here are actually cheaper than Tomica Limited models. Though of course, they are hard to find as they are not sold in major toy stores

There are only 2 stores I know that sell those, and they have very few stocks of them left.

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, it's not at all bad price for what you are getting(top notch quality) + the Tamiya name. I am ordering another Tamiya really soon. 👍
