1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Spacegoat]

Got an eBay delivery today:
Grabbed myself a Goodyear '55 Chevy Panel & Boulevard Subaru Brat:tup:

Nice. 👍

(That's "moo" in Japanese... )

Still funny.

I didn't even know they made race cars. I really wish you didn't share that with us.

Wasn't aware either, until I stumbled across that one. That one caught my eye because I've got the 1.18 version of it. Little bit expensive for me at the moment, though.

 

[RCKakashi14]

He says the fuel economy sucks though....... Car looks so damn fine, even on the back of a flatbed, I guess it makes up for it. Great video. 👍 I was hoping they told us how much the flipping car originally cost for the custom order, but they unfortunately did not touch on that.

Also interesting to know that one of the Walter Wolf Countaches (specifically the red one) is currently located in Japan. Walter Wolf sold that one and it has the 5 liter V12 from the LP500 Prototype which also powers the LP500R.

I never knew about those one-off, custom-made Countaches until Tomica and Kyosho made those as scale models. And they look so much better than the mainstream Countaches.

The Walter Wolf Countach will always be my favorite Lamborghini... Nothing can change that!

 

[a6m5]

I'm not gonna lie, I like all Countaches. I'm a Ferrari guy, but some Lambos look so much better in some cases.

OK, on the way home:



Little Mario Kart RC's to play with my nephew. I was this close to buying a Boulevard Ford GT, but I put it back AGAIN, this time for the Dodge Monaco cop car by Greenlight. Taillight lens sold the car to me:



What I got in the mail + already loose Astro Van...... I was convinced this car opened. Body does not lift up.


*baby blue car is a Corvair.
Seller that sold me the loose cars(TTP) were one of those record time shippers. I think I ordered them Friday or Saturday night, I had them today. Awesome shipping rates, too. I'll share the seller name...... maybe after I pick up few more cars.



Finally, the Lancia Super Delta by CM's, via eBay:



I included the Dodge Van in one of the pics to show how small this car is, but I didn't do a very good job. This car is tiny, and highly detailed. 👍

Wasn't aware either, until I stumbled across that one. That one caught my eye because I've got the 1.18 version of it. Little bit expensive for me at the moment, though.

Agreed on the price, but I will look around for them in the future. 👍

Edit: If anybody's interested in looking at their inventory, here's the TTP seller I bought from this time around. As usual great service, and what made me come out from retirement on collecting this last time around is their $3 shipping for up to 4 cars. Not all cars are cheap, but they got some nice ones!

 

[diabolicwyvern]

^ Do you have.... any Custom '59 Caddys you're looking to sell? If not, I think we can pack up the box and get it shipped.

I have one. I also have one 156. I think its the FE.

 

[Spacegoat]

Great stuff a6, that Greenlight Dodge Police car is freakin sweet. 👍

 

[McZachenF1138]

I concur, that Monaco is cool, but I think the fox-body Mustang one is cooler!

 

[Spacegoat]

Damnit, such a pity that no one stocks Greenlights down here.

 

[a6m5]

That Monaco is the first ever purchase of the GL's cop car purchase for me. At the first glance, I thought it was the 80's Caprice I love so much, but I still liked it. And I concur with you on that Mustang, McZ, even with the POS Ford 302(not really POS, just slow lol). Between the Monaco and Mustang, I'd have bought the Mustang.

Here's another shot of Super Delta(I know, I can't help it) with the "width" shot of the Caddy for Andy.



Note the seat belt shot. Jarod, I think I may have to buy the second one, same one as yours. CM's rock. 👍

Damnit, such a pity that no one stocks Greenlights down here.

It's right up there with the M2 and higher end Tomicas for me. Greenlight does some nice work.

 

[Spacegoat]

Jarod, I think I may have to buy the second one, same one as yours.

Do it.

CM's rock. 👍

Indeed they do, I'm really impressed with quality of them. 👍

 

[McZachenF1138]

You better watch what you say about the 5.0 here in America.

 

[a6m5]

You better watch what you say about the 5.0 here in America.

It's true. I love the 80's, but again, we are talking about the 80's(power was weak in general). I'd love to find out the horsepower ratings in those Police Interceptors & Mustang GTs. See how low they are. If you own one, I'd recommend a Ford Racing crate motor instead!

Do it.

My top pick would be that "Repsol" one, but I'll look around. 👍

 

[zakyta_4]

Try checking at a Toys R Us if there is one near you. The Greenlights that I have all came from a Toys R Us, but that was nearly a year ago.

Will do mate, next time I'm down Melbourne way I'll definitely check it out:tup:

Nice. 👍

Thanks mate

You know I recommend both of those. I love real rider tires, and I think they are couple of the neatest ones out there. 👍

I do mate Same here, real riders are awesome and these two are brilliant:tup: also some nice grabs there, really like the colour of the Landcruiser and that Corvair

Got an eBay delivery today, a while ago I wanted to grab a basic 60th Anniversary Routemaster and over here seller's are asking about $12+ and delivery from other countries would have been a bit more expensive. So after waiting a bit I picked this lot up for $17.60 which I thought was a good deal

 

[a6m5]

God, that chase one is definitely nicer. Whenever I'm at stores that sells Matchbox, I check, but even the standard Routemasters are hard to come by where I'm at.

Anybody looking for CM's Lancia Stratos? I'm not, but this here's pretty cheap. Something about missing mud flaps.

 

[AOS-]

I've had that on watch for the longest time as well as the other cars this seller has. I really need to pause collecting for the time being because dad may just financially screw over this family.

 

[a6m5]

That doesn't sound good. I wish you luck with that man.

 

[AOS-]

I have one. I also have one 156. I think its the FE.

Which colour is the custom caddy?

I'm going to pass on the Ferrari for the time being if it's the FE. An eBay seller sold one to me under the table so there's no guarantee I'll even get one.

I managed to pick up both the chase bus and regular bus in the one store at the same time for $5 each. I'll keep an eye out for both versions and if I have the cash I'll grab them and who ever wants them can have them for cost + postage

 

[Cano]

I'm a Ferrari guy

Lol. Also:

*baby blue car is a Corvette.

Fixed.

The Monaco cop car is indeed freaking sweet, I also have it. I have to make another trip to that store that sells Greenlight to pick up this entire series.

Also, the Lancia. Ahmed has it, and it's indeed amazing. I need to pick up more CM's and Kyoshos. The spree already started.

 

[McZachenF1138]

It is technically a Corvair...
A 1954 concept.

 

[Cano]

Oi, your're right. All this time I thought the concept was a Corvette. I've lived in a lie all along ):

kmart exclusive flat black w/yellow flame. ($2 due to rarity) I will have the purple hot auction one soon as its in a lot I'm expecting this week.

I didn't even know that it was a concept. I couldn't even remember what Corvair looked like when I got that car, I thought it did look different than I remembered(or didn't remember lol). Not a Corvair fan, obviously. I just got it, because I had never seen a detailed Corvair for that scale before.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Yeah, that Corvair were on display at the 1954 New York Motorama in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel along with this gorgeous thing:

Because of where it was shown, it is known as the Waldorf Nomad.

 

[Nessy]

And those Mario RC remind me of Bit Charg-G's. Cool

I don't have either. Thanks, Pandja!

Now, this thing is just cool. 👍

Little ones like those are handy racing indoors.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Send me RX-7.

Luckily...I saw one more Premiere Edition RX-7 there, so I'll be sure to look this weekend and see if it's still there and grab you one. But...there's only one and this vendor moves around to different parts of the state apparently. He's also the one that has the giant shipping container sitting at one of the flea markets.

$5 is reasonable for rubber-tired limited production cars retired almost 15 years ago, me thinks.

Could you keep an eye out for this:

Please (:

Pictures didn't appear for me, but I copied the links and looked. None of those were there unfortunately... Sorry.

How often do they have any good cars at your flea markets Medigo?

Because if you don't mind, I have a list of HW and MB that I need. Can you keep a eye out? I'll PM you a message later, if you don't mind.

I go on occassion, but right now my shipping list is full and I don't have the time to add another person at the moment. Sorry!

I already have the red one, need all others.

Edit: Take that back, will take another red one if it's in good shape.

 

[AOS-]

You got something for that RX-7, Jason? You know which one I'm talking about

 

[MedigoFlame]

Seems as though this vendor just hoarded them when they came out... Just so he could sell them on. As most do... He did label the boxes, but I...didn't take notice. I'll pick it up for you if I can find him at the same flea market with the box of that series. Maybe I'll dig deeper and try to find the Supra. >_>
