1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[MedigoFlame]

I saw the $8.90 and thought...nice price! But totally forgot the shipping... Want to get it...but I'm not sure. There's only one left though.

Edit: Found this...free shipping, but just about equates to the other one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tamiya-2371...72229?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item417253da45

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, they actually come out to be $16 to $17 for the total.

 

[MedigoFlame]

There's also that grey R32 from the same person who put up the Supra and Miata. >_> Tempted...very tempted. Or I could just get that Tomica Limited Toyota Crown.

 

[a6m5]

That's the one I'm eyeing! Good eye....ing! 👍

 

[AOS-]

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.

Awesome. Would you by any chance be interested in the Matchbox Land Rovers?

Also, I was going through my carded bin and it's full and I need to clear up room. I got extra Matchbox Civic Type-R. Would you like one? Maybe two?

 

[MedigoFlame]

Nah, I'll pass on the Landie and Civics. Do you happen to have any more of those Hot Ones Supras though? I remember you posted them a while back. >_>

 

[SkylineObsession]

I've had the Tamiya Supra and R32 Skyline for ages now. Maybe half a year or more?

Should really go take pics of all my Matchbox/Hotwheels/Siku/Maisto/Bburago/Autoart cars.

 

[Spacegoat]

Yeah, they actually come out to be $16 to $17 for the total.

That's still great value though. I paid $21 with free shipping for my Tomica Limited RX-7.

Edit: Dat grey R32.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Only Toyota Crown that I'd say is worth it is the Tomica Limited, but it's $27 free shipping.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Just to share you this store where I get Kyoshos:

(Still drooling over on that R390... will definitely get that)

There is another store that sells those too. I might get some shots of what they have.

That's a nice R390. Been looking for one for a long while now and I still regret not buying one 6 years ago.

 

[iceprincexxx]

How much is that R390?

 

[Cano]

Only Toyota Crown that I'd say is worth it is the Tomica Limited, but it's $27 free shipping.

If I had one in real life I'd buy it. Or better yet, find a regular, non-Limited one that is a bit neglected and restore it/mod it after what the car will look like once you're done with it. Can be done, glad to help (:

EDIT: Or better yet, have both (:

 

[MedigoFlame]

Welcome to the thread iceprincexxx! Just as a heads up, use the edit button, rather than double posting and when you quote someone else's post, remember to remove the image so there's less to scroll down for others.

Well considering my goal would be to have a scale model of my own real life car in this collecting hobby, I'll be sure to buy it. And I would do customizing if I had the time...

I have one that's not available for trade, but that might change depending on how badly you want one. PM me to discuss this matter further.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

What's wrong with you guys! "Mooo" is funny!

Detailed shots of the Tamiya Supra below. Detail's top notch(a shocker), she's a beaut!

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

Mooooo!!!

But my goodness, that Supra MKIV JZA80 is great!! 👍 I'm soo jelly filled right now it's not even funny. Love the detailing Tamiya. :tup

@RCK: Do they have any Tamiya 1:64 or bigger scales of the BCNR33 GTRs or the Nismo 400R?

BTW, I want that R390, the SL R129, the Porsche 930 and that JGTC GT500 Calsonic Skyline! Amazing!

Well, I got some great cars yesterday, but no S2K or the E30 though , but I'm going out in the next hour to do some business and there's a Walmart across the street. Hopefully, I can find my S2K, E30 and Supra today.

I'll inform you guys on the cars later.

 

[AOS-]

There's a ton of gray E30s here if you need one.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Mooooo!!!

.

Actually, the Tamiya 1:64s are at the other mall.

There are 2 R390 Kyoshos. The other one is black...

Hmmmm... I'll get that light blue one since it has appeared in Gran Turismo games, anyway.

 

[a6m5]

So glad I felt like swinging by Toys R Us on the way home today(it was sunny!):

That's still great value though. I paid $21 with free shipping for my Tomica Limited RX-7.

True. They have unique style & approach to the modeling, both awesome. 👍

Edit: Dat grey R32.

I know, right?

Just to share you this store where I get Kyoshos:

Interesting shot. 👍

(Still drooling over on that R390... will definitely get that)

I've been interested in their older race cars, but sellers are way too proud of them. I went back to throwing money at the Hot Wheels.

But my goodness, that Supra MKIV JZA80 is great!! 👍 I'm soo jelly filled right now it's not even funny. Love the detailing Tamiya. :tup

With the Tamiya name on it, I knew it was gonna be good, but some parts of it even exceeded my somewhat high expectations(taillights, especially). Too bad they don't have more cars(my wallet says it's actually a good thing ).

That's a nice R390. Been looking for one for a long while now and I still regret not buying one 6 years ago.

I always see your name at the bottom of the page. Welcome to the club!

Only Toyota Crown that I'd say is worth it is the Tomica Limited, but it's $27 free shipping.

Me & Jarrod object!

The Retro Entertainment Cars that Medigo sent me turned up today.

Thanks again for these Medigo.


P4110357 by commodoreben, on Flickr
I picked this up from a local hobby store. Its the VE Commodore driven by Craig Lowndes and Warren Luff at the Bathurst 1000 last year.


P4110358 by commodoreben, on Flickr
These are the Welly Easter eggs that I got a couple of weeks ago.


P4110359 by commodoreben, on Flickr
These were inside. A 5 Series BMW and a Audi R8.


P4110360 by commodoreben, on Flickr
In the other two eggs were a Mini Convertible and a Ford Focus.


P4110361 by commodoreben, on Flickr
Lastly I grabbed a Nova Wagon from a local toy store.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Nice grabs Ben, the Commodore looks awesome! And those Wellys look pretty cool. Which we had some kind of interesting gimmick with our diecasts here. Well, not really, would be annoying to open a bunch of eggs and end up with the same cars. Unless they're color coded?

Anyways, looking through my eBay watch list... And there's only ONE Tomica Limited Toyota Crown left. Gah!

 

[AOS-]

I was desperately looking for an R34 card to confirm whether or not some fool decided to put a Nerve Hammer in the blister of an R34 because if there wasn't, that means this was likely an error and I'd be pretty cheesed to find out some scumbag decided to "watch my world burn".

Never the less, it's a loose R34 now. I've got more but I'm cropping those at the moment. The damn cars are 87 cents right now at walmart! WHY?!

Here's another one. There's random paint splotched on the corner:

Oh. I hope Tamiya has a R33 though. But those other cars and the R390 were the best.

Does the black R390 have the red and white livery that was featured in GT2 or is it a different one?

With the Tamiya name on it, I knew it was gonna be good, but some parts of it even exceeded my somewhat high expectations(taillights, especially). Too bad they don't have more cars(my wallet says it's actually a good thing ).

Yep, the quality of the Supra MK4 is impressive and now I want one ASAP. I mean, the detail of the interior..... 👍 👍

@Andy: Thanks for the offer bro, but I'm kinda short on $$$$ and I would love to buy them from you, but the shipping from the States and Canada is too much for me dude.

But if I have the cash, I'll give a shout. 👍

Well, yesterday and today was a good day finding some great cars. I've finally found a Evasive S2000 FINALLY!!! Just one more for investments like selling or trading in the future, but at least I got one.

Here's the list of cars I got from the 99 Cent store:

2 MB Lotus Evoras in Ice Blue metallic
1 MB Caterham SL500 (yes, I have a thing for Caterhams.)
1 HW Blue Ford/FPV Falcon V8SC

And this is gonna shock you Kevin. I nearly got busted TWICE by my mom in the store, but she didn't even see the cars in my hand even when I was at the checkout! But I had the cars hidden inside the car my parents didn't even know.

This is what I got at Walmart yesterday:

1 HW WRC Countryman Mini
1 HW Gulf Chevelle SS
2 HW Lotus M250

The store was freaking empty again compared when I found the 80's AE86 and the blue M3 E93 before. But before I left I search a little and that's when I found my prizes. But I got busted when my mom took my bag with some other items and heard the jingling sound from the cars.

Today cars came from another walmart:
1 HW S2000 Evasive
2 HW 370Z Z34
2 HW BMW M3 E92
2 HW Aston Martin DBS
1 HW Subie STi GRB
1 HW Porsche 911 GT2 997
1 MB Porsche 911 GT3 997

2 Mystery Bags with a G37 S V37 and a Shelby GR-1

This Walmart had more of a variety compared to the one I went to last night. I hit a goldmine in this one today . I found cars from the earlier 2011s up to 2013 cars everywhere and a few stashes from others.

Since me and my older niece made a break to the store across the street when everyone was doing other things and we had made a time limit and I was low on cash, I would have gotten a few more but I had to make a sacrifice with the others that I need for my collection. Then when I got the cars, I had to find a way to store them under my parents' noses again. So I opened one of the doubles and put them into two shopping bags and the three cars that were in their packages were wrappen right and gave them to her to be put in her bag. The others, stuffed into my pockets. The operation was a success! I did shock you some more, did I Kevin?

Wait, what?

 

[MedigoFlame]

A well thought out way of sneaking in Hot Wheels. And an accomplice to help you. By the way, correction should be BMW M3 E92, not E93. Almost misread that as the new recolored BMW M3 E30 in blue.

Also, I really think you should start posting pictures! Even if they are just mainlines, posting with pictures would just make it better.

And once again speaking of R33s, I really think Mattel should introduce a new casting with it since, not only is the popularity of Japanese car collectors growing, but it's something they could add to their upcoming F&F series and grow the lineup for that series. Since there are plenty of F&F fans out there.

 

[Spacegoat]

Wooo. Scored today, both Target and Big W had some Flying Customs in stock. And to top it off I got a Yellow XB Falcon on a short card at Woolworths. It's getting dark here so I'll post pics tomorrow. 👍

Yep, it helps a bunch when you have someone with you on this. My niece helps me even get 1:24s in as well! But the bad thing is that her bag can wear out with the weight of the car and the box and for HWs, if you have them not wrapped up mostly with cars that move all the time, it can show itself. But we try to improvise when doing this for it to work, or when/if I have a backpack, try to position the cars in their bag(s) to stand up inside the backpack.

And I see that your brother helps you too, especially when a package comes in or buying them and getting them inside the house. So I think we are the same when doing this.

I know I'm busy and I probably gotta go and do something tomorrow. But I'll try to post up pics soon, if I don't go out, I'll hook up some previous pics of my cars so everyone will see them. The new one will come shortly. 👍

I agree. I would love to see the Nismo 400R version of the R33 Skyline GTR (The R34 is the Z-Tune version if you look closely.) And the R33 was featured in the TFATF, Leon's R33 from Dom's street racing team is one of them and a few popped up in Tokyo Drift also... But if they do, it'll be Leon's car.

D'oh! A E93 M3 But that was a typo. I was typing fast on my iPod and selected the 3 instead of the 2. Thanks!

Is that black one the prequalifying version?

 

[AOS-]

Wait, what?

That was potentially an error, but it doesn't matter anymore now.

The R34 in the wrong blister that's now open?
