1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[CodeRedR51]

I haven't had to pay listing fees on eBay in forever. You get something like 50 free listings a month, plenty for me. But yeah, also got my plastic wing 350Z (white one from 2013) off eBay for cheap too. The idea is to look at all the listings photos because you might find something that the seller doesn't know they have...

"I've stopped collecting, guys, but I'll buy this expensive truck anyway."

👍!

Jarrod, you need to look around for a Tomica truck.

Maybe. But the price of them, though.

A price...

...he simply can not refuse.

Found a Tomica Mazda Cosmo and Tomica Toyota 2000GT at the meet tonight. Guy wanted $25 each for them though. Way over my budget, had to leave them.

Anyone need the black Toyota pickup?

Was hoping to get another 993 GT2 for a custom but because of the heat only a few tables were set up.

Made some rounds today. After reading about some M case TRU finds I thought I might find some good stuff, but only saw about 10 M case cars. They weren't wiped though, actually pretty full. I don't know if I was super late or early to the new stuff.

Couple recent MB cars I liked:

M case cars I picked up at TRU (rest were fantasy cars)

And a nice little surprise at Target

My crap photography do not do justice for the Tomica trucks. They are AMAZING, both in quality & detail. Too bad they cost an arm & a leg. Coke delivery truck comes with bunch of tiny coke bottles in crates, and blue one is a Asahi paper(Japanese newspaper) delivery truck. It comes with bunch of bound newspapers. Almost forgot: Coke truck has a rack to hold the handtruck on the move.

Both trucks are great, but that Coke truck...

 

[a6m5]

That Challenger, it's a frigging Treasure Hunt, that's why I can't find it. I think I read about it before, but way you presented it I think reminded me. Nice grab!

Yes, the Coke truck is nice...... I so want to break loose those coke bottle crates, but I don't really want to hurt the value.......

P.S. Stay away from the Toy Peddler guys, it's like a toy store...... wait. It kinda is.

Man, love that '57. Very nice. 👍

 

[RCKakashi14]

Hmmmm.... worth getting one?

 

[zakyta_4]

What a deal! I remember the vehicle from I think when I was a toddler! Very cool Tomica. 👍

Thanks mate:tup: and those Tomica trucks are sweet bugger the value break open those coke bottle crates and give us some pics

Awesome cars also Dwight and wyvern

Grabbed a few cars today:
These from BigW, M2 Machines Foose P-32 & 60th Anniversary All-Terrain Crane

These found at Target, another Prototype H-24, Porsche 935/78 & U.S.S. Enterprise and then went for a walk around the store as they have a big toy sale on and found a bin full of cars that isn't normally there. Had a rummage through it and pulled out a $TH Bone Shaker

goes well with my loose one

 

[a6m5]

TWO!?

I like your M2, too. I got a Ford F-100 of the same Foose series. 👍

bugger the value break open those coke bottle crates and give us some pics

We'll have to see.

Kakashi: That Harley Davidson I posted was a UCC series, also.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Amazing cars you guys. Keep them rolling on. And RCK, I'm filled with full jelly with your Kyosho collection bro . Just jaw dropping dude.

A price...

...he simply can not refuse.

👍

Yep, a offer you cannot refuse. Unless your broke or something...... But seriously A6, nice! 👍

More good news for tonight. I got several cars at the store last night. I got them under my mom's nose, but almost got busted by one of the cashiers that knows me well. (She's friendly and a nice person and she knows that I collect HWs whenever the store gets them and the Kinsmart cars.)

But I walked off scott-free with some wheels.

Here's what I got:

1 Toyota Supra MkIV
1 BMW M3 E30
3 Custom Mustang GT '12 S197
2 Toyota Celicas TA1
1 Toyota 2000GT
1 Falken 'Cuda AAR Drift Car
2 Honda S2K Evasive in red

Along that I got a 1:24 of a Lambo Aventador from Walgreens also.

Now I need to get more Hyuras, NA3 NSX, TA Celicas and that Mach 1 Mustang Boss next. But I need that Scion FRS ASAP!!!!

And if you guys don't notice, I saw a Guards Red 918 Spyder equipped with PR5s as well. So keep a eye out if any of you guys want one.

Yeah grabbed a loose one on eBay thinking I'd never find one

Thanks mate, I'm a big fan of Foose, I've got quite a few Overhaulin' DVD's:tup:
My mate grabbed 2 Foose cars before me so I got the last one which was the P-32, he got the F-100 and Mustang

Good Morning Collectors

The last of my May Matchbox pickups









And finally

 

[AOS-]

I forgot I've been looking for more Bread Boxes to customize.

Is anyone willing to trade me a lot of their Bread Boxes for something? Keep your premium/metal base castings.. I'm only going to work with plastic bases since they're easier to cut open.

Clear windows preferably but not a requirement. DiabolicPanda?

 

[Robin]

Is the Cars Of The Decades M1 rare? I didn't buy it because the packaging was trashed.

Bought one of these instead for modding, came with stickers!

Not my pics BTW.

 

[a6m5]

Isn't that the "Hot One's"? If it is, no, it wasn't rare at the time of the release. Quite a peg warmer in my area. I tried googling "decades" BMW M1, and I'm getting the Hot Ones, so maybe there wasn't Decades model?

Edit: Finally found the pic of the one have.

 

[AOS-]

I don't believe there are Decades M1s. That is however the Hot Ones like Shinji pointed out.

Is it rare? It is not. If you can't find any, it's because some dingbat(s) bought them all. It's got little collector value for a Hot Ones so a beaten up card wouldn't have done much damage.

Still looking for more Bread Boxes.

 

[Robin]

Thanks for the replies,

Apologies, yeah it was 'Hot Ones', I forgot because there were millions of 'Cars Of the Decades' ones on the pegs around it (nice to see metal tops and bottoms again!). The M1 does seem like something that would be hoarded by people thinking they are special

Would have probably bought if the card was mint just because its nice looking. Been looking for that Gulf-y looking Shelby for ages, glad I found one.

Robin.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hit up your Big Lots stores. They're getting those HW Indy cars. I'm gonna snag some for their wheels.

Is this the Racing series or whatever? I like the older ones with the drivers on the cards, but I doubt they are still around.

 

[Cano]

How much, dude? I also want some of those to use the wheels, but the guys that sell them over here are aabsolutely nuts.

 

[CodeRedR51]

$2 each

 

[AOS-]

You mean those IZODs?

We got those last year and stopped getting shipments that same year. Luckily you're getting them for $2 though. They went for $5.47 like any of the 2012 HW Racing series.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yes,

 

[Cano]

$2 each

Oooo can you please grab me like 5? If you need me to Paypal you funds I will no problem (:

 

[CodeRedR51]

Maybe. I was going to go later tonight since it's 117 degrees outside right now, but I'm on a really strict budget for a couple weeks. If you can paypal today, I can just use that money to buy them.

 

[Cano]

Ah, awesome. I'll Paypal you $10 right away.

EDIT: Sent. Thank you dude 👍

 

[a6m5]

When it's 117 degrees out(yikes!), I think beer tax should apply. Stay cool, Jason. Watch some TV, the ball games just getting good. lmao

 

[CodeRedR51]

Beer? Need something stronger than that after the day I've had.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Spotted at walmart... I guess M2 is running out of ideas as theyve resigned themselves to selling ten year old hot wheels.
