1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[a6m5]

Jarod & Jason's becoming harder to tell apart(avatar).

Maybe not, but they do modify them:

I will give them they do drive on the right side.

God that is awesome. Damn you, Shinji.

Thanks Jaroji! This car(any 787b) took me the longest to acquire!

GAWD am I a sucker for an old Camaro.

You should start collecting. Camaro is arguably the most popular hot wheel model by my observation.

Oh I never said it wasn't a fun car, I'm sure it's actually an excelent car. I just said it's slow. And er, ew. You know, those headlamps. Ugh. The tail lamps are even worse. Heck I can't decide which looks worse.

You may be looking at it upside down.

You may be looking at it upside down.

I wish they were all upside down. And crushed.

 

[MCNAGTROC]

They are just hitting Walmarts, so keep an eye out.

oh ok cool

are they walmart exclusive? i read that somewhere and didnt want to waste my time looking elsewhere if they were

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah Walmart only.

 

[a6m5]

While back, I asked if you can keep just three cars, which one they'd be. I finally got the final three today:

Vintage Racing Bluebird/510

Red Line Club Texas Drive 'Em

Kyosho 787B

I wish they were all upside down. And crushed.

This just in:

Basically, the Mastretta MXT-R will make the HW basic line for 2014. Oh it will be SSSSSSSSO hoarded over here, you guyss might have to find me the ones I'll want for myself, lol.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

I soooo want that GT86/FR-S badly 👍. Same with the Lamborghini Aventador J.

Jason, Kevin, Sinji and Zach. If I can't find one, get two for me if you guys can thanks.

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

Same as mine! I had the red one as well.

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

Saving them for something, eh?

I had those sets also, excluding the McDonalds drive thru. But my favorite was the tower playset with four floors consisting of a parking lot, hospital, police station and a bank I think. That's was my most favorite one there.

I am new to this car. Can you tell me more about it? Looks cool though.

well that was easy..

 

[AOS-]

^ Yo I have the '70 Chevelle SS. Trade you it for a Skyline.

Wrong. That's the coolest part of the car lol.

Doesn't mean you should just put them anywhere on the car.

 

[CodeRedR51]

well that was easy..

Those are the only two I am getting, but I don't need more than one of each.

 

[Spacegoat]

Thanks Jaroji!

What?

I wish they were all upside down. And crushed.

That's a little....harsh.

 

[Cano]

I am new to this car. Can you tell me more about it? Looks cool though.

Mexican-designed and built mid engine sports car with a mid-mounted Ford turbo 4 and carbon/aluminum monocoque, and on that version with the big wing and stuff, adjustable suspension and big brakes and all that crap.

It's basically a track toy much in the same fashion as the Lotus Exige. It doesn't come with semislicks from the factory, but is just as fast on street tires because power (almost 300 on the street version, not sure how much on the red winged thing).

The thing was built by a friend and ex-coworker of my dad, Daniel Mastretta. I know the guy well and have talked about it and gone trough the car extensively with him at hand, and I can tell you the thing is well made. Bleh, as well as a hand-laid low volume sports car with no luxury intentions at all can be.

It of course has issues, but it delivers. When the mag I work for tested it, it spat a 1.1 lateral g measurement on street tires and about 270 to the wheels, and again, that was the street version. I rode shotgun in one in a track lap, pretty fun car. Never drove it hard myself but I did slid a bit behind the wheel. Nothing extraordinary in street driving but how hard the suspension is, but that is to be expected.

Look for the Top Gear video in YT, and videos in general. If I remember correctly, the company itself put up a track shakedown of the thing.

well that was easy..

Why would you want 6776 of the same car, specially when they are as lame? Not even rubber thingies, just a fancy card on what is basicaly a mainline car :/

Doesn't mean you should just put them anywhere on the car.

Oi, but they ain't everywhere, they're securing the widebody. And here bear in mind I'm defending a FRS, that is a lot to say, but I do think the Rocket Bunny kit fits the thing like glove.

 

[AOS-]

Worked out a new project idea. Does anyone have Bread Box castings they're willing to sell/trade to me?

 

[CodeRedR51]

They do have a bit more tampos, and they kept the price at $.97 cents so they're not all bad.

 

[Cano]

WAT. They're like $2.50 in here -_-

 

[AOS-]

They're $2.50 for me as well.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Everything I have heard on HWC is that they are .97 cents, just like the mainlines.

 

[RVDNuT374]

This was before I even knew what THs were. I paid no attention to what colour those stripes were!



So.... you going to sell any? I see a few I want.

Sorry, my collection is not for sale.

 

[AOS-]

Trade then?

 

[Sonygamer455]

HW Color FX: Military Machines

Man I need one of those! What is the name of that tank and does that Humvee have a rotating gun?

HW Collectibles: A Night at the Races Car Set

Wow, just wow! That Woodie is must and so is that trailer! What is that vehicle on the bottom?

Uncommon Variations

[/CENTER]

Give me that one now!!!!

 

[Cano]

That Golf is indeed very rare, one of the hardest variations of that car to find.

 

[Sonygamer455]

I don't doubt it, I have never seen or heard of that one before.

Are metalflake ones like that special in anyway because when I visited Kit Kringle's new location for the 2nd time today and I seen a metalflake blue speed blaster and I thought about getting it. Is it rare?

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Those are the only two I am getting, but I don't need more than one of each.

Hey Jason, can you pick up the Skyline, Supra, RT 440 Charger and Chevelle for me? One each. 👍

Nice! I'll Look it up, thanks. 👍

Can't wait for this car in 2014!

If I find them and if they go in your current box (which will be ready to ship by Friday). No extra spending money for a couple weeks, V8 Supercars Austin Texas trip next weekend.

 

[Spacegoat]

Store stuff from today.


Nova Wagon, 240Z & Mystery Machine by VC SL/E, on Flickr


Gallardo, Thunderbird & Custom '42 Jeep. by VC SL/E, on Flickr

Finally a 60th anniversary Matchbox, sadly this was the last one left on the pegs at Target. Also swung by a discount store, and much to my surprise they had these. I wasn't even aware they stocked any Hot Wheels.

[zakyta_4]

Awesome grabs Space:tup: especially the Cars of the Decades, nice

 

[Guardian]

FYI - Poundland (in Lanark at least) are selling Hot Wheels 'Cars of the Decade'. I.e. popular cars from the different centuries (60's, 70's etc.). There's alot of trucks, Muscle cars and other kinds - the only two I picked up the names of, were the 60's Corvette and an old Dodge Dart. There's plenty of others though.

There's also some other Hot Wheels 'Race Car' collection.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Any Lamborghini 670-4 SVs? Buy those. 👍

... for me

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Thanks. If you find any of the Phil/Wayne/Larry Garage castings that isn't the satin black w/ red stripes for cheap, pick those up for me too.

Picked this one up for yah. It's got the signature on the base, so they wanted more. If $3 is to steep, I don't mind keeping it.

Hard to see, but signature under front axle.
