1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[CodeRedR51]

I would just say "no thanks, but I'll keep checking back" and I'm sure he would be ok with it. Doesn't seem like there's any hostility there.

If this is eBay, then if I were in your position, I'd bite the bullet & pay. It sucks to get stuck in such position, but it happens. Personally, I'd hate putting him through anymore hassle, as he's already gone above & beyond for his customer.

That's just me.

I already bought the item a week ago, it's just that he thought I wanted a discount on shipping because based on what he wrote above, that's totally what he offered... unless I got comprehension issues which is why I asked what you guys thought that message was saying.

Anyway, K Case is out and about. What are you guys looking forward to getting?



For me:

• '92 BMW M3 (dark blue)
• '71 Dodge Challenger (yellow) (finally....)
• Super Blitzen (white)
• F&F Dodge Charger R/T
• Pontiac Bonneville (green), will wheelswap just like the purple one with LWs.
• Lambo Gallardo SL (metalflake blue), may wheelswap that for J5s.
• Toyota 2000GT (red) (hope this comes in an abundance)

The recent Mustang Fastbacks are super tempting, but those are on the blacklist. Already got the silver Falken Cuda, black R34 and teal Nova. The Challenger Drift Car TH is tempting but I already sold it off. Would still buy to list off in the future though.


L Cases are too.

• '08 Ford Focus (blue with livery)
• Pagani Huayra (FE)
• Acura NSX Concept (FE)
• Custom '12 Ford Mustang
• Keaton Batmobile

Blacklisted that So Fine. Don't want to start a '69 Charger collection nor resume the '63 Stingray.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Thought K case was out for a while now? Seen all those cars in the stores over the last couple weeks.

Wish I knew someone going to Comic-Con this year. Want one of the Battlestar Galactica Viper's that they will be selling there...

 

[a6m5]

Is there going to be a difference between the mainline Chargers & F&F Chargers? Difference between the Supras of two lines are huge.

Want everything bolded. I'm going to hit up the Wal-Mart sometime this week and see if I can find any of those.


Also, really would love for Hot Wheels to hurry up and make the GTS-R:

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Nice find Ben. I love that police Evo and the GT3 RS from MB.

And from that list. I'll take that 2000GT, F&F RT 440, RT Challenger, M3 E30, Lambo, Hyura, NA3 NSX and I'll be a happy collector.

@Racecar: I totally agree, Viper GTS-R is a must in HWs. But what about the AM Vantage, the GTR GT3 and the 991 RSR as well?

 

[Cano]

Now for some M2’s.

Those are awesome I REALLY need to get me more M2s.

 

[commodoreben]

How many M2s do you have and how expensive are they over there? Over here they can be from $8 to $15. Also how is that massive post with pics coming along?

 

[RCKakashi14]

Just got an HW Ferrari F355 Challenge (silver) today. And it is now added to my list of my favorite HW cars (which are just a few)

 

[McZachenF1138]

I'm pretty sure I'm thinking of the same car as you and yes, that is a great Hot Wheels Ferrari.
I have that casting and I've been wanting to detail it for the longest time.

 

[Cano]

How many M2s do you have and how expensive are they over there? Over here they can be from $8 to $15. Also how is that massive post with pics coming along?

Yeah, pretty much the same price range if you ever find them. Sad part here is that not a lot of people imports them because they sell badly, stupid people prefer to pay $25 for an ugly $TH than $8 for something like an M2/Greenlight. Forget about stuff like Kyoshos, people here can barely understand such things. Ahmed brought some Kyosho Lambos and appart from the one I kept, he's just sold one of like 7. People will not buy anything here if it doesn't have a green stripe on the side.

I must have like 10 M12 cars, with two more coming along, but I really want to step up the premium stuff in my collection; should happen in the second part of the year after vacations trip

 

[RCKakashi14]

Actually, a lot of these are on sale in a small toy store. Various colors such as red, yellow, and silver are available. They are sold as low as 2 USD. There are some Ferrari Racer variants too, and I might get a black one.

 

[commodoreben]

The Toys R Us near wear I used to live had M2s and Greenlights from time to time. Down where I am now a department store sells the M2s. If I want something like Kyoshos I have to go to a model or hobby shop. What Lambos did Ahmed get?

Yeah you have to go to specialized stores to get them here too, supermarkets don't carry crap around here, not even Jadas anymore.

The Lambos are Murci GTRs in an array of colors. Amazing stuff 👍

 

[commodoreben]

What colors does he have left?

 

[Cano]

What colors does he have left?

Mmmh... I don't really remember. I recall a metalic orange, a purple one, a matte green one, etc. I'll tell him to come post them here so you can see them. I myself kept a blue one.

 

[AOS-]

Finally took some pics for all of you.
A Datsun 240Z, Lamborghini Aventador, Lotus M250 and a 911 GT3 RS.

Something is up with that 911's wing. It looks like it wasn't properly assembled.

 

[Anathema]

My 2J has different rims, and the HW livery Double Vision - did that even exist? I have it in a fully white color, and many of my friends own the white version (the common generic). Hmmm... well, it's rare. So I don't have it, so what?

You're saying that the ones you're talking about came out about a year ago... the ones I have are from 2007/2008, the HW Racing Team set. (Mine are a complete 2007, and I'm missing one of the '08 cars.) Must be a different year, and different things we're talking about.

 

[AOS-]

Just you wait until I get back from class...

Well we're well into Day 2... I'm still waiting.

Just you wait until I get back from class...

I SAID I'M STILL WAITING.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I'm so busy man, I live at school!

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Another eBay lot with just top down photos that I spotted. "Veyron" is one of my saved searches when I login. Imagine my surprise when I saw all the 2010 speed machines alongside the Bugatti that I'm basically getting for free.

DiabolicPanda FTW....

GOOAAAALLLLLL!

 

[AOS-]

CAN I PLEASEEE BUY THAT SLR MCLAREN OFF YOU? How the hell do you find steal deals so easily?

@Zac, Are you taking summer school?

edit: Wow this seller cannot handle pressure:

OK this is the last time I am selling outside the USA I am not faulting you at all but this shipping cost to outside the USA since the new rates in Jan of 2013 I have lost so many $$$ doing so I have helped so many International buyers trying to off set the shipping costs out of my pocket and in the end I get no thanks in fact I get bad results I will refund you more shipping dollars and take more of a loss just to keep from having more problems and getting possible bad feedback I really did not want to end my International buyers as so many sellers have done since the rate increase so I will go now to Paypal and issue more $$$bad please do not look at this as directed to you at all its directed as a result of USPS and E Bay greed and $$$ with the new rates thanks for understanding how I feel about E Bay and is guidelines

He was totally directing that at me. If he wasn't, there was absolutely no need to tell me any of that.

 

[Doth1s]

I got home from work today and sitting on my computer desk was the HW City Dodge Challenger Drift Car. It seems my wife went out today and found me a Treasure Hunt.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Maybe, but I'm thinking not. Many of these cars I don't have loose and I don't open them unless I have two.

Lucky. Good tampo job they did on that one too.

 

[AOS-]

... Okay.


Well, I guess I'll just go through whatever list you come up with eventually.

 

[McZachenF1138]

@Zach, Are you taking summer school?

Yes and no. I'm not taking summer school in the sense that I failed and need to, but my school goes year-round however. 👍

 

[diabolicwyvern]

@ AOS- You'll be okay. He's shipping my lot expedited so I should have jelly inducing pics by Monday at the latest. Ive been working on one of my bikes for a couple days and haven't gone through most of my collection. I do have several things you'll want though.
