1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[McZachenF1138]

The skateboarder is tacky for sure, but that's what I like about it.

Oh, and here's your Cool One for this year Andy.

 

[AOS-]

THEY MADE A NEW ONE?! YES!!

Also, won that Special Commemorative Shelby Cobra for $26. I put $35 as the max bid because I definitely wanted to pick up this item from the same seller:

Now I onry need that Walmart Exclusive Boulevard 30-car set Hudson Hornet.

 

[a6m5]

What is this special Cobra? It's not the RLC one that Jason was talking about? Seriously cool Hornet by the way. Nicely done. 👍

I'm sure it just simply jumped into your trolley and didn't make a sound.

Funny, how stuff happens like that.

Don't judge me guys, I'm only human.

zak's got me looking at Road Ragers now too. Adore this. But ugh $48.

That is............. NICE. I hear you about the price, but it may retain its value, too.[/enabler] It would be an awesome addition to any collection. 👍

 

[McZachenF1138]

Damn, that Hornet.
And I didn't know the Neo-classic wheels had Real Riders tires. I thought they were just molded plastic like the mainline wheels. At least that's what my RLC 240Z is like.

 

[Spacegoat]

It would be an awesome addition to any collection. 👍

No doubt it would be. Definitely some other time though, can't justify spending that kind of cash on a single model at the moment.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Must get C10 for custom...

Spent all of $3.50 at the meet. Got another 993 GT2 and a loose Nissan Truck I was missing.

 

[AOS-]

^! I can help you with that. Money's a present thing.

Think about 5 years into the future, you're browsing through your collection and you see your cheap-as-chip mainlines, and then you see one baller highly-detailed casting you can always appreciate looking at every time you bust open the closet to dust the displays.

The ideal lasting appeal is clear. Spend your money and go broke like some of us.

 

[DwightSchrute12]

That C10 looks pretty cool. Definitely want that one.

Skater? Seriously? That's worse than an Eagle Massa.

Yeah...have to agree.

On another note, here's my vacation haul pics. Tried to spoiler these to save space but it didn't work, so BIG POST WARNING

First off, came home to these in the mail:

These from a Winn Dixie stop, Blvds were 1.64, the Vintage car 1.00, and an N case Tundra on an International card. And the only N case car I saw haha.

Kroger finds, all of which I THINK are exclusive to Kroger except the TH and GM cars. Unfortunately none in my state Got all 6 Scavenger hunt cars too.

Stopped by a Toys R Us, also found some stuff

Couple random things from Disney Downtown that I couldn't turn down, thought the Buzz thing was kinda cool.

Antique mall...place buys. Lot of decades, F1 set, couple other randoms and an older Lesney Lotus

Fry's Electronics for 1.99 each...

And (like an Apple conference) one last thing....

Finally found my first Super in the wild, and a casting I really love. Happy times

 

[a6m5]

Just kidding, congrats! :tup: That Shelby Collectible Cobra has some really cool details to them.

Edit: Is that Jetson's bus new? I like it.

 

[DwightSchrute12]

No, I think it's 2012, with the other Hanna-Barbara stuff. And yeah that Shelby is surprisingly detailed. Never seen the 1:64 Shelby cars around here, just a few 1:24 models.

 

[a6m5]

Darn it. Thanks for the info though. I like your RLC Cobra, too. 👍

 

[McZachenF1138]

Wow man, super great stuff there!
If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for the Lesney Lotus?

 

[RCKakashi14]

Contemplating on getting this one:

One of the strangest-looking JDMs ever...

 

[McZachenF1138]

I have it, and it doesn't do much for me. But obviously I can only speak for myself.

 

[DwightSchrute12]

Wow man, super great stuff there!
If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for the Lesney Lotus?

Thanks. And it was only a few bucks, 4 if I remember right. I wasn't going to leave it behind though haha

Edit: 500th post I guess? Cool.

Tempting.

Dude, great post. 👍 Really digging that First edition Escort rally car and the Mclaren F1 set.

 

[a6m5]

One of the strangest-looking JDMs ever...

Probably not "JDM" by choice. I'd say most likely banned in rest of the world.

 

[zakyta_4]

Awesome stuff there Dwight:tup:

That should be renamed ass kickers, because that is the most ass kicking cab I've ever seen. 👍👍 I liked it so much I went on eBay, but it's up there. It'll join the list of cars I may or may never get around to buying!

👍
zak's got me looking at Road Ragers now too. Adore this. But ugh $48.

Thanks guys:tup: thats what I do when anything gets posted here, straight to eBay they really are a nice car and are limited to 2000 units by the box, the store I grabbed mine at had 3 different variations of the cab, these are the 3 in a multi pack:

The yellow was my fav but do like the silver top as well I've got one of the wagons without the surfboards and van

Been thinking of getting that one for a while now.

 

[a6m5]

Have you guys seen other cars made by Mitsuoka? They'll make Chinese cars look like Italian super cars.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Oh yeah... Look at the Le Seyde. Poor S15 Silvia...

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Hey, the 993 GT2 up for sale? If so, I'll gladly take him. 👍

And my PM box is full again, so i need to clean it. I'll write down the cars I want first and give you the total later or on Sunday.

Edit: Nice score on the cars Dwight! 👍 Real jelly of some of those cars bro. 👍

 

[AOS-]

Hey what collector number is that Special Commemorative Cobra, Dwight?

 

[Nessy]

Have you guys seen other cars made by Mitsuoka? They'll make Chinese cars look like Italian super cars.

Is it wrong to say, that i really want to get a Tomica Mitsuoka Viewt?

 

[AOS-]

You guys have no idea how hard it is for me to not buy this right now. Please someone don't let this flat black '06 Civic slip away for $2.10:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2008-Hot-Wh...95135?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item5d41f775df

I've already blacklisted the '06 Civic and it's framed so I ain't buying any more.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

At antique mall outside Denver and I've never seen more greenlight and Johnny lightning cars outside a toy show

 

[DwightSchrute12]

Dude, great post. 👍 Really digging that First edition Escort rally car and the Mclaren F1 set.

Yeah, I had to have the Escort rally car. My first car was an Escort...though not the rally version, but I'll buy any version of it I find.

Awesome stuff there Dwight:tup:

Edit: Nice score on the cars Dwight! 👍 Real jelly of some of those cars bro. 👍

Thanks!

Hey what collector number is that Special Commemorative Cobra, Dwight?

385/4000 👍

At antique mall outside Denver and I've never seen more greenlight and Johnny lightning cars outside a toy show

Wow. That...is a lot of Greenlight. Dang.

 

[a6m5]

I wish all hot wheels aisle looked like that.

You guys have no idea how hard it is for me to not buy this right now. Please someone don't let this flat black '06 Civic slip away for $2.10:

For $2.10? Yes. That's the only appealing Civic I've seen of that body style. You have to go by the true cost though. $7.10, I don't find it that cool.

Oh yeah... Look at the Le Seyde. Poor S15 Silvia...

Is it wrong to say, that i really want to get a Tomica Mitsuoka Viewt?

Most of them look like Corolla with classic British car planted, just & only in front of them.

385/4000 👍

Probably pretty close to the engine it came with huh? So close!

 

[AOS-]

For $2.10? Yes. That's the only appealing Civic I've seen of that body style.

That's the best '06 Civic recolour I have ever seen. That seller has been listing HTF mainlines lately. I snatched a flat black Impreza and silver V8 Vantage off him as soon as he listed it, though his prices are going up quite a lot now. Guy used to do $1.3-$1.6 on average about a year ago. Yeah I'm an occasional buyer.

Yeah, I had to have the Escort rally car. My first car was an Escort...though not the rally version, but I'll buy any version of it I find.

Talk to DiabolicPandja. He hooked me up with these:

385/4000.

Damn guy, the one I bought is #3239! I'll bet whoever has #1/4000 could end up selling it for over a hundred.

 

[a6m5]

I snatched a flat black Impreza

Have you posted that one? I don't remember it.

Damn guy, the one I bought is #3239! I'll bet whoever has #1/4000 could end up selling it for over a hundred.

I almost bought it again, then backed out again. Looks like this one will sell out before too long though.
