1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[AOS-]

Hot Wheels collectors and they want cars from those era's. Fact is JDM car diecast collecting is growing, fast.

And the Nissans and Toyotas are proof.

Imagine Mattel releasing an FD casting.

 

[CodeRedR51]

They kind of already have an FD casting, but yeah I agree.

Bought this last month, didn't even know it was a TH until I saw a listing labeling it so:

That's the 2nd TH I found unknowingly!

Nice. Which one was the other one?

 

[Spacegoat]

but I've never seen the one of the left. Sweet bikes on the back. 👍

I've been wanting one of them for a while but the prices they ask for mint ones.

I don't see any cars on that link bud.

You should totally get the one with "Honda" on the side. If you don't, you aren't a true collector. It's only $75 on 'Buy it now'. Do it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Those of you that like and or want the Wal-Mart Ford Truck can get one now, just keep an eye out for this with the "Juke Box" cars:

As far as I was aware, I was the only one to post that truck in this thread. Thanks a lot, Mattel!

Is it a Super TH then?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Maybe a chase car, not sure as they are just starting to hit the pegs. Remember check the Juke Box cars that are not on the main pegs, these sell for $1.97.

Edit: Stupid people trying to make a quick buck.

Ah, got it. 👍 It's weird how they come on standard card though.

Edit: Stupid people trying to make a quick buck.

I've yet to see those. I still can't get over how Hot Wheels couldn't be bothered to detail the headlights for mainline, but they will for how much ever more these F&F line cost.

 

[CodeRedR51]

They're starting to hit stores now, so keep an eye out. I think they'll be in a cardboard shipper that hangs on the end of the isles.

Check this out.

 

[a6m5]

Check this out.

Is that for real?

:0 obviously that isn't gonna reach Mexico, so please Jason, could you keep your eyes peeled for one or two? (: it looks awesome!

EDIT: "error real rider". Wtf.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hard to say. Rivets look untouched but it is possible to change the wheels without drilling the car. I personally don't know the exact procedure though. Seeing as the seller is from Malaysia, could be a factory error that someone snuck out in their lunch box.

 

[a6m5]

OK, so my VIP(Very Important Purchase) from Hong Kong is showing this on USPS tracking.

Should I be worried? I'm in Oregon(opposite side of the country). Scan previous to this is this " Arrival at Unit
May-06-13, 02:44 AM, PORTLAND, OR 97223", which seems legit.

I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Or factory produced error. Same guy who produced our bootleg Super TH Toyota 2000GT. Cano, 2000GT, do you have it?

 

[CodeRedR51]

The 2000GT's were legit, just snuck out of the factory and sold earlier than they were supposed to.

But I would agree that this might be "produced" by one or more employees with connections on the same assembly line.

 

[a6m5]

Regardless, I wonder if stuff like this goes on much. If I worked there, they better keep an eye on me.

Edit: Jason would be creating his dream error cars.

 

[Cano]

Cano, 2000GT, do you have it?

Finger, dude. Yes I have the regular one -_______-

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

How about a series with nothing but JDM cars. I think that would sell like hotcakes....

I can picture this happening soon. Like you just said, people are into the JDM cars from the 70's up to the 90's, even newer Japanese cars as well. And even the Euro cars and Aussies are getting some love also.

When I was little in the late 80's and the 90's collecting HWs and MBs, the only type of cars that HWs produced were mostly fantasy cars, muscle cars (but not all of them), trucks and SUVs (same thing with the muscle cars) and a JDM, AUDM, Euro and Supercars here and there (i.e. Ferraris, 300ZX, SL500, C-Class, 3 Series, Holden Commodore.)

But MB and the other brands had more of US, Japanese and European cars and trucks, with the occasion of a Aussie car in the mix. Even though I loved Hot Wheels to death, but everyone else had a great lineup of cars that I loved to see made by HW.

And look at HW in the 2000s Era cars, I'm seeing more JDM, Euro, Supercars, Racecars, different types of US muscle cars and trucks and even concepts are growing! But the hardest ones to find today and in the early and mid 2000s were either JDM or European from what I've seen when visiting stores.

So if HW does a JDM series and a Euro series similar to what they have done with the Muscle favorites (Muscle Mania's GM, Ford and Mopar) just picture a Import Speed series having Hondas, Nissans, Toyotas, Subarus, Mitsubishis and Euro Speed series with BMWs, Mercs, Aston Martins, Ferraris, Lambos, Porsches, Renaults, Citroëns and McLarens!

I would buy them and their recolors instantly!

I guess I won't ever be a true collector then. Because I ain't dropping $75 bucks on a single car.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Were you guys aware of the 2013 Police Pursuit and Street Beasts five-packs?

Tomica Limited Toyota 2000GT:

I'm not much of a Toyota fan, but I find this extremely gorgeous!

 

[GreenStig]

I have one of these, it's purple.
It came up with a kind of a Ford factory.
I'll take some photos to show them.

As I told before:

AAAGHHH seriously people stop this NOW

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

As I told before:

Hey! That's my old Ford Factory set I had for my Hot Wheels City when I was a kid! That is one of my top 10 favorites playsets right there.

 

[AOS-]

Shinji, The other TH I bought unknowingly was my first TH: Studebaker Avanti.


Also, don't be worried about where your stuff is. I have something coming from California that just arrived in Vancouver, the west side of Canada, where I'm situated north of NY.

You'd figure they head directly to your house, but they've probably got their system so just let them do their job. One time I've had something from the East Coast get sent to Vancouver and then come back towards the east.

Me three! I had one as well, except my car was red.

I still have mine in a box. Along with a McDonalds drivethru, a FedEx, and a few others

They're doing it on purpose. You'll just have to get one now...

 

[Cano]

I want to think Kakashi didn't know/remember of what happened with mine. The other two sobs are indeed doing it on purpose and should burn in hell lol.

Yeah I'll have to get another one sooner or later. The damn thing hasn't shown up with a decent price tag.
