1/64 Model Collectors Thread

For $1.50, you'd let that slip?

PLUS SHIPPING. I'm letting a lot slip right now. I still got more fish to fry!

Wanna trade for anything?

I appreciate the offer, but I'm gonna pass.

So really thinking about scaling back on my collection again. I need to save for a 1:1 car and scaling way back on collecting might be the ticket. I'll be keeping all the Nissan/Datsun/Subaru/Mazda cars, but everything else might go. This includes the RR Muscle cars I have, Honda & Toyota cars. Anyone interested would get them in lots, not letting them go individually. (All Toyota cars or All Honda, or All Celicas, All Civics, etc) If nobody here wants them I'll think about putting them on eBay this weekend. Pricing would be fair, but some of them I paid a pretty penny for and would want most of the money back on those...

:0 pics?

Hah. I'm trying to do that too except no one wants it.

I'm also going to be making cuts to my collection soon. More blacklists and more list-offs.




Here's some pretty pictures to lighten up the mood:

Want more photos?

Can you show some pics as well? I'm interested in Vipers (Especially ACRs and SRT GTS) S2000s, GT500 Shelbys, Cobra 427s, Civics (Especially EP3s), NSXs and Celicas.

And I gotta cut mine spending down for other things as well that are important. That's why I'm trying to find the main cars I want.

 

[AOS-]

I'll gladly take the $TH S2000, some Celicas, and Muscle Cars. Maybe one or two NSXs.

 

[zakyta_4]

Nice grabs guys, liking the Scion xB's, Tomica Limiteds and Blue Landcruiser

Nice much my way this week, grabbed a few doubles, but not much new stuff around my area

and a delivery from eBay today:


also had a nice 9.99 opening bid win yesterday, pics to come once it arrives

No Vipers, Shelbys, etc. Mostly imports and some Garage/Boulevard Muscle cars (very few though)

Lots, not a couple cars here, couple cars there. You want S2000's and NSX's you buy them all.

I don't have a big problem with that, but i'd like to know which colours you've got though. I have a great deal of colours so I'm thinking it'd be great if VSpec and I split the order (and bill) so he can take the other half. This just means you'll need more parcels and we'll cover our own shipping costs, but you'll still be able to get rid of the entire lot.


HOW ABOUT IT, PHIL?

 

[photonrider]

Haha. Both are a must! (even though I already own the Benz)
Man I love that Peugeot! Kind of a odd color combination but I certainly hope Kit Kringle gets one of these soon, I need this car! Curious but does the rear hatch open?

Yes, it does. And yes, it is a really odd colour combo.

As for the Benz, I already have it, got it about 5 1/2 years ago at Kit Kringle and it still looks just as good as it did when I first bought it. That thing has gold paint and silver handle bars and to be honest I thought about making a reverse one with silver paint and gold handle bars!

If I recall correctly, isn't that a Porsche Targa I see in the top left of the photo? My brother has that car. :d

Yup, it's the Targa - and mint, since I just opened it. Was trapped too long, and I wanted to open it for the 911 celebration.

I could post pics of the antique mall an hour away, but based on these responses I probably won't. I fear some of you may require resuscitation from the jelly induced coma!

My monthly upload is planned for this week. Needless to say, but is filled with pure awesome.

Need to remember to visit the thread so I can send you more bad attention.

Go to hell, Panda.

Don't tell him that, we'll have to follow him there!

What is up with the echoes! If you can find them cheaper, you let me know!

He's losing his mind. Have you noticed he hasn't posted a pic in ages? He's sulking or about ready to slam us with a huge post.

Indeed. But the fact that he wanted two of them is the most disturbing part.

Hence the echoes.. . .

Anytime you make a questionable decision or purchase. Just remember, I'll always be here to make fun of it.


Just what this thread needs.

This thread is now one of the most epic HW collector threads on the internet.
Yup, and we need more awesome, right?

:

But I am between pulling a Cano or Harry here, even a Sony's moment here......

Don't you worry, Phil - you are in a class of your own.

Visited cousin in Scarborough and man did I grab some neat things today. Yeah I totally just walked onto your turf, Harry. Come at me.

Damn! Was it you and your cousin who was rummaging those pegs that day? Go back to Mississauga! Or bring over some stuff and we can trade in person.

Here are my 1:43 Hot Wheels models:

[Images]

P.S. It's probably not that kind of models that is mainly discussed here, but they are HW, too, so it's on the topic.

Very nice. HW makes some awesome quality models in the larger scales. You may want to show those off in the larger scales model thread, too - I'm sure the bods in there will be interested.

I've got that Falcon.

Welcome back, Josh!

BTW - I have 5 variations of that Falcon. Some spares, too.

I found this rather out of place Tomica excavator at Toys R Us today. I never knew they had such a thing in their current line.

That's a nicely detailed model.

........... Will show you stuff soon, It's been ages since I posted. I need to show you literally hundreds of cars.

Right.

Just 200 pics per page post as usual

Fixed.

WTH??!!

That is RIDICULOUS.
!

I agree.

Damn, that is insane.

What's more insane is that they are actually in the store . . . and that Zachy laid them all out like that to take the photo without being bothered by anyone. I wonder if some employee noticed and they're all gone now.

Chances are someone beat you to it. Employees come to mind.

My investigations (not posted all details yet) are that it is the 'night staff' that are doing it. Two stores validated now. Yeah, I'm Magnum P.I.

Go to hell. Stop pouring salt on the wound. Mine never arrived.

I've already lost one parcel in the post (Kyosho Ferrari and some other cars from Wyvern-64) and it's turned me off completely.

That sucks man. I'm so glad my lost parcels eventually found it's way to me.

Must be ninja luck.

Harry discovers another stash.

I need to lock the door of my mancave and throw the key away.

I'm probably gonna pass. Been too busy buying cars(I'm trying to cut down, too).

That's nice. Maybe you should start collecting now.

Nice grabs guys, liking the Scion xB's, Tomica Limiteds and Blue Landcruiser

Nice grabs, yourself . . . I like those MBs.

Pics tomorrow.

 

[photonrider]

Cano - You sick puppy.

Tell me - should I open the First Editions I have that are pre-1997? (Before 1997)
Asked this question before. I have some pics will post later. If you tell me to hold on to them I will; I have doubles of some.

Got to speed off now. BBL.

 

[Cano]

Sooooo I have veeery good tradebait now, I just found a $TH GT500 Supersnake. AND 6 circle trucker THs.

EDIT: just saw your post Harry. Open them, too new to stay trapped.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Lots, not a couple cars here, couple cars there. You want S2000's and NSX's you buy them all.

Ok. I'm interested in doing the deal as well. But these cars aren't the imports and muscle cars from your displays right?

Can you tell me which garage/blvd Muscle cars you have? Any Mopars, Firebirds, Chevelle SS, Boss Mustangs around? Any Euro cars are involved in the deal BTW?

Sure Andy. I don't mind . If Jason is giving away the S2Ks, I am missing the yellow S2K the most, that's the one I want in my collection badly. And then the silver S2. But I gotta see the rest or a list of everyone same with the NSXs.

Civics range from EK4 Sis up to FG2 8th gens that I want, but I need EP3s bad.

Toyotas, Any Supras, AE86 and some Ceilcas for the collection. Then I'm happy as a lark.


@Harry: I can't believe I'm in a class of my own when it comes down to getting jelly from HWs and MBs!

You should see my post when Cano got early dibs on the 914-6 earlier before diabolic's post.

 

[AOS-]

Damn! Was it you and your cousin who was rummaging those pegs that day? Go back to Mississauga! Or bring over some stuff and we can trade in person.

You don't even know who I am!


I only grabbed a few premiums and only one mainline. I would've grabbed another Red Bull F1 because those are worth so much and that store was not vacant, but I told my cousin to get it despite how broke he is.

 

[Theace37]

I seriously have to thin down my collection... ive got way to much!!

Im doing an ebay overliad this weekend and if anyone wants to claim anything now... ill offer you a heafty discount 👍

This includes All boxed conversation cars, and all classic matchboxs (posted a while back if you can remember)

 

[a6m5]

and a delivery from eBay today:

Never really had a good look at the Tomica Batmobiles before. They are nice! 👍

That's nice. Maybe you should start collecting now.

No way man!

 

[RCKakashi14]

Another target added to my Kyosho hunt list:

 

[Sonygamer455]

Yes, it does. And yes, it is a really odd colour combo.

Picture with the hatch open please?

Yup, it's the Targa - and mint, since I just opened it. Was trapped too long, and I wanted to open it for the 911 celebration.

Definetly a great car! 👍

 

[Doth1s]

I was walking around Wal-Mart with my wife today and picked up the black on white AE-86 and a freaking helicopter. She rolled her eyes when I picked up the chopper, but I ain't care!

 

[Spacegoat]

and a delivery from eBay today:

I had no idea they even did Batmobiles. Nice. 👍

I need to lock the door of my mancave and throw the key away.

With you inside.

[CodeRedR51]

Purchases from tonight. All this for $11. Not bad I think.

 

[RCKakashi14]

I bought an orange Kyosho 1:64 Dodge Challenger SRT8 today.

Pictures to follow later...

 

[a6m5]

Purchases from tonight. All this for $11. Not bad I think.

OK, you got me. I will buy all those, the entire bundle package.

Seriously though, very nice buys! 👍

The Nova is gone, gave it and the play set stuff with it to my nephew. Just wanted the Skyline. BMW might end up a custom, the Belvedere I got because I am a HUGE fan of Christine.

Here's the breakdown:

- Skyline/Nova set = $2
- Belvedere + Protecto = $5
- Matchbox RX-7 = $2
- Purple 300ZX = $1
- E30 M3 = $1

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Nice finds guys, especially the MB RX7. $2 dollars is a complete steal!

 

[Cano]

Jason, we need pics of those meets got dammit.

 

[CodeRedR51]

You want photos of a bunch of people standing around tables in a parking lot?
