1/64 Model Collectors Thread

You'd put $600 on a model car?

Better then 1500$.

Work is a labor of love anyway.👍

My highest bid was 600, but the current bid was 340, when it was over someone payed 900$.

I'm sold on the working headlights.

I could find a salvage corolla for 1500$ lol.Though that model is dripping with cool..

Working headlights, like working headlights? I admit, that's pretty cool.....

Got the Andy-ripoff car part II today:

First, a Cuda & some kind of crash car.



On to Andy II.




You tell me, but they certainly look like plastic tires to me, too.

Also, those Vipers.

Love that generation Vipers. If they were ACR Vipers, that would've been a home run!

my final bid 600$,

I don't get the fascination. Is it that because the fans are that crazy diehard, or is it that there are so many millions of fans, they just ended up getting that competitive?

My $5 Jada(1:24) went for $100! My 1:64(still have this one) is going for almost half that. I'm happy, but I certainly don't get it.

Those initial D Autoart AE86 are always going for ridiculous prices, But thank god Autoart is going to do a re release.

What!?

Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor.

 

[a6m5]

Re-release is nice for the have-nots, but sucks for those diehards that shelled out the buku bucks!

Sucks for me: With those Vintage Racing cars & Vipers, I was also supposed to buy the Boulevard 993 GT2s. Seller apparently forgot, I went through the itemized PayPal invoice I was paying & I forgot, too. I just emailed him asking if he still have them. I doubt it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

This will go quite well with the Retro Bandit Trans Am:

 

[a6m5]

Whatever that is, looks much cooler than the Boulevard truck. Never seen the Boulevard one, but I get the feeling I'd pass.......

 

[CodeRedR51]

 

[a6m5]

Retro Entertainment! I figured.

 

[OtakuTaikun]

I neeeeeeeeed dat truck

 

[McZachenF1138]

Smokey and the Bandit never did much for me, but the well execution of the truck definitely warrants a buy.

One of my stores had 4 of those Brady Bunch gold wagons, 2 T-Bird Stockers, and a Ferrari F512. No one wanted one, right?

On to Andy II.

Goddamnit, now I have to go refund mine.

You tell me, but they certainly look like plastic tires to me, too.

They're real riders, Shinji. Jason said so, okay? They're rubber. NOT plastic! Real Riders. Not Fake Riders, got it? 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Real Riders is Mattel's wording for rubber tires. Believe me or not, it's the truth.

 

[a6m5]

Andy: Imma need you to open yours up & see he's right. Thanks in advance.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Are you guys still fussing about his Hudson?

 

[a6m5]

Packaging does say Real Riders. I guess Jason gotta be right. It's trimmed like a plastic tires, but it must be rubber.

 

[CodeRedR51]

You guys see the first Gulf Racing car is available starting tomorrow morning? (now for RLC members) Only $10 too. Porsche 917K...

I've been wanting one, but I doubt there'll be any left by the time I get home.

Send me your Hudson, Shinji. I'll open it for you.

 

[AOS-]

I support this idea. Shinji, do what the goat says.




Stolen off Lamley:

Nice to see they brought back the '92 Mustang. Saw it in a 10-pack last night.

I'll be on a lookout for the RX7, Chevelle, 911 and Aventador... still haven't seen the 90's Batmobile yet still.

 

[Cano]

The goat opens it, I keep it (:

 

[McZachenF1138]

No, I propose an auction!

 

[AOS-]

Page-filling time. Here's some more cool poop to gawk at:

^ TH in case you newbs didn't know.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Gulf Racing Porsche 917K is up for grabs at the moment. Back ordered until November 5th though. (they take orders before making the cars...) My total was $16 with shipping (!) but they don't charge your card until it ships.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Just ordered mine as well.
I'd like to know what it actually looks like.

 

[AOS-]

$22 for me. If I had knew the HWC Cobras were in stock, I'd have bought those 2 on that site instead of eBay.

 

[a6m5]

Just came home for lunch. Ordered mine. dos

It'll be this color:
