1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Cano]

I could care less of the people. I want pics of what's in the tables.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I would have to take hundreds of photos, and the inventory changes weekly. Photos would be pointless.

Kyosho 1:64 Dodge Challenger SRT8:

Kyosho vs. Greenlight:

Nice change of pace, as far as Kyoshos go. 👍

 

[Spacegoat]

Kyosho Challenger looks great. 👍

Please tell me you followed that with "GETTODACHOPPA!"

👍!!!

- Matchbox RX-7 = $2
- Purple 300ZX = $1
- E30 M3 = $1

Damn you.

Speaking of Kyoshos, I just got the 1995 Le Mans winning McLaren. There is a slight problem with the front wheels. It is hard for them to roll.

Kyosho 1:64 models' wheels are always like that. Besides, they are not really played at.


Unless you want to kill boredom, why not?

Well the other two Kyoshos that I have don't have that problem. But oh well, I rarely "play" with my collection.

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

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

Thanks mate, good to see you've got some Falcons over there too, nice:tup:
I've got 9 variations myself, my favourite car


Also my to be opened and sorted sections starting to look a bit like yours lately, need to find a day to get something happening there

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

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

Thanks guys:tup: yeah its really nicely detailed, my phone and the light didn't really do it justice in the pics, well worth it

Having a garage sale this morning. I just need one collector to notice the bargains!

$100 in my pocket so far

See who's hanging out.

HW Rev Ups being sold at work. Must say I like how I can place it anywhere near the corner of a wall... or on the front door.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

this much for someone's custom?

I like it, but not $23 like it.

 

[AOS-]

It's only IZOD HW Racing wheels... $5 for that + $1 mainline + $5-10 paint can. I can't believe someone would be willing to pay $23 for it. I should sell my customs too.

 

[a6m5]

I think it's reasonable. Most people aren't willing to invest in tools & supplies, or willing to put in the work. It maybe a simple custom, but it's clean & tasteful.

Then I just might sell off my earlier wheelswap customs for cheap so I can make room for better customs down the road. I'm currently thinking about selling the Annihilator once I'm finished. If that Datsun can rake $23, I'm guessing the Annihilator can do at least $40, potentially $50 if someone's crazy about it.

That custom Datsun only has one photo meaning there's no telling what it looks like on the other side. My customs in general aren't perfect but the amount of crap I put into it should warrant a decent starting value. I think.

 

[a6m5]

I could be totally wrong as I know nothing about custom hot wheels, but I think retailing/auctioning customs is about execution & clean detailing more than the degree of difficulty or uniqueness.

If you are looking to sell customs, eBay is nice, because I don't think they charge you sellers fees until it sells?

I just saw this. Not pointless. Even if inventory changes every week I'm sure there's stuff that stays there for at least two weeks. It's not like it's bimonthly like our club's get-togethers, this is weekly, so I'm sure there's at least something we could use that you could find the next week.

Just sayin'.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Its just hard to do mostly. Not lugging my camera around and taking pics of peoples stuff lol. They'll look at me weird. And my cell camera sucks so thats a no-go.

oh come on I'm sure if you told 'em "oh it's for some friends to see if they want something of what you have", thry might still look weird at you but they won't complain

Poo, I've only got 5. You know, I really should get around to getting both of the 2010 variations one of these days.

Sorry, just not gonna happen.

So, all the cars I am getting rid of I have decided to put them on eBay first. Gonna try and get maximum money out of them. Will have starting bid at what I want for them, and see what happens. If they don't sell, then you guys have first dibs.

As far as my finds today, now that I'm at a computer I can describe it a little better. Stopped at a Fry's grocery store and was walking back to the toy section when I stumbled upon a 4-sided shipper that looked well picked through. I did notice there were some newer cars in it (D Case) so I rummaged through a couple sections when I happened to find a Flintstones Mobile. I knew right then that I should go through the whole thing because nobody leaves those behind. Found 5 of them all together, only bought 2 though. On the 3rd side a few cars back found the $uper El Camino with a crushed blister. And also found a blue '68 Chevy Nova missing the chrome lip on the right front wheel.

12 mile ride all together. Time for a nap.
