1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[AOS-]

So I got two parcels in today. Each have a (FE) yellow F355 with 5SPs.... but one has an unpainted base while the other has a metalflake silver coat on it.

Don't know what I should do with the painted one because it's got a bent axle.

a6m5 - Photobucket is in shambles once more.

Why am I paying them so much money every year? I see you are managing your account quite well though; your photodisplays get increasingly artistic and professional.

Had a good score today,went to Walmart and found a NSX concept, pagani huayra, brians supra, and a red custom fleetwood, then went to Target and found a red 2000 gt toyota, doms charger and the batmobile with the fins on it.

Or you can just use a blog to upload your photos like me.

Speaking of, I found out just now a recent Shelby Cobra I bought was one I already bought earlier this year. FML - waste of money - First world problems . At least now I won't need to take out the turquoise recolour from my collection if I want to customize one.

Jason, on a scale from 1 to 10, how badly do you "NEED" on OH5 Celica?

 

[AOS-]

Must be 11/10 if he's explaining to us in great detail what an OH5 wheel is like as if we've never seen one before.

Not super badly, but yeah....need it. You have one?

You know how people get them confused, I've had to explain myself many times in the past...

 

[AOS-]

Who here still gets them confused? I get confused with FTE with OH5 now and then.

That's cause it's the same wheel. The FTE's are just copper colored and have the special axles.

 

[McZachenF1138]

No, don't have one.
I just wanted to know how badly you wanted one compared to how badly I wanted one if I found it.
I got outbid at about $20 on an OH5 BMW 2002 and I don't want something like that to happen again with one of the very few wheel variations that I care to collect.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Found one on eBay that ends in 5 hours. I call dibs.

 

[velly]

some good news and bad news from yesterday...


Will start with the bad news, the Green Golf GTI I thought i saw ended up to be blue (well, cyan if you want to be picky lol) but I bought it anyway

but the good news, while looking to get all my VW's together for a role call. I found my missing batmobile

So here is my VW's
3 new golf GTI's
2 Type 2 campers
2 type 181
mk1 Golf GTI
SP2
Scirocco GT24
Beetle Cup Car
HotRod Beetle thingy
VW 4x4

 

[AOS-]

I'd love to have that black Golf GTI. I still have access to two-packs which contain a Salt Shaker and green Golf if you want me to grab you it.



And $20 on top of your max bid for an OH5 2002? Damn! Maybe I should just make my own and sell that

 

[McZachenF1138]

Good, now that we got that straightened out, I can admit that I do have one.
BUT, I was considering sending it to you if your reaction garnered it.
It didn't seem like you wanted it more than me, so I decided to let you find one elsewhere using your magical HWC trading powers or eBay.



Funny thing is, I swear I found it on relatively the same peg at the same Target as I found the chrome-lip MC5 One-77

 

[CodeRedR51]

Except it's fraudulent. That's as low as trying to sell a car as a $uper Treasure Hunt when it's actually not.

Edit: Bid $5 on the Celica, if I get out-bid then so be it. The starting bid was $2 though, so hopefully nobody else bids.

 

[SVX]

Here is what to look for, in case you are wondering:

I'm going down to the store today if you want me to have a look. 👍

 

[AOS-]

Except it's fraudulent.

Whoever said I was going to list it off as a wheel variation? I would clearly label it "CUSTOM Hot Wheels loose; This item has been physically modified", start the auction at $5 and see who cares enough to buy one.


Anyway:
7 TH Lincoln Continentals currently at $2 bid

Walrmat 2013 Corvette 60th anniversary set. Starting bid @ $10

Maybe you should have said that in the first place. 💡

Check out this lot!

the Black Golf came from a multi pack of 20 (which also had the Beetle cup car and a white BMW 2002 race car)

They had one of these packs at stall...maybe we can do a deal

 

[McZachenF1138]

Dat Army Drag Car.

Though I don't need the beetle cup nor 2002, I could do a 1 on 1 trade instead: my green golf and salt shaker for your black golf and some other mainline.


But then again, shipping for us ain't going to be cheap so we may as well make the best out of the postal rates. Shall we take this to PM?

 

[McZachenF1138]

Oh yeah, how about this:

Today I thought I'd pick up a couple more Huayras and NSXs for future customs.
I got home and started ripping them open only to have a Huayra fall apart in my hands.
That's right, it was unspun. Now I don't know what to do with it.

 

[Cano]

Check out this lot!

Way waaaay expensive for what it contains. Hell I see blackwalls there.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Lots of guys on HWC that collect those.

Indeed.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Loose?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yes'sir.

Kind of have to, no way to enjoy a car that's not spun together by leaving it in the package.

 

[AOS-]

If that becomes too much trouble, it just saved you the trouble of drilling out the rivet for a custom.

 

[a6m5]

OK, I got two cars today:



Here's a pic of the '55 Chevy Panel with the bike.


Goodyear tires on a Goodyear delivery. Nice touch, Hot Wheels. 👍

Well, after what seemed like an eternity. (2 weeks is an eternity, right?) The 7-UP Ruff Trek ute arrived.

Dude. 👍

Damn, it looks even nicer in your picture. You gonna have to really give it to me now.

I know mate, I was stoked after finding the first, then to find the second one in the other store, I was trying to high five my boys but they thought I was silly, "its just a matchbox car dad" they said

On the bright side, it's better than "Hey dad, those are chase Routemaster Buses. We'll be taking those off your hands. Now. Thanks."

Good night, everyone!

Is that the Jada 1/24 scale, because I used to have that. I paid $5 on clearance, and sold it for $90 on eBay.

Here is what to look for, in case you are wondering:

I still remember it from my last lesson. Yes, I'll keep look out. If you find one before we do, let us know.

More Jadas . . . opened.

Supras are always a treat. Nice Trans Am, too. 👍

Thanks Harry! I just started filing hot wheel pics into a new folder labeled "hw". I wasn't thinking about public traffic, but it was for myself, as I was starting to have harder time hunting down my older pics.

My account is just a free account, so although I sometime cry about their reliability, I'm really in no position to criticize(though I am forced to watch their 'commercials' lol). I don't know what kind of problem you are having, but I hope it gets better for you soon, a paying customer!!

Had a good score today,went to Walmart and found a NSX concept, pagani huayra, brians supra, and a red custom fleetwood, then went to Target and found a red 2000 gt toyota, doms charger and the batmobile with the fins on it.

Nice, especially the Batmobile. 👍 I call it "Bestmobile", because it's the coolest one of all. If you were looking for those hot wheels with flags on them, let me know. I might know a seller on toy peddler website who may still have them. Darn good seller, too. Reasonable shipping. He won't have the Lambo anymore(I bought it), but I think he may still have the MR2 & Range Rover.

I used to think Jason was little nuts.
