1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[a6m5]

Just getting ready to upload the picture to Flickr, when I saw your post.

That's crazy. We couldn't be further apart on the planet, not by much.

My other two (the RX-7 & Lancia Delta) sadly don't.

I was hoping for the Delta, but it's still very cool that the Datsun came with one. I highly doubt there was room for it in my Stratos.

Seriously, look for the spare tire inside(pic already taken). Do all CM's rally cars have spares built in?

As someone who has 6 CM'S models, the answer is no. Unfortunately. That is a sick model though. Better than all of mine, but I won them for 99 cents so I cannot complain.

Ah, thanks for looking at your cars. 👍

This indeed was spendy(I wanna say maybe $17), but I've been wanting one & had a heck of time actually finding one. They were all sets. I just remembered why I've liked Violet so much. As a kid, I had the Guiness book of world records? It had a big picture of Violet rally car(no idea why it was in the book), and even back then, I really dug this really boxy rally car kicking up dirt. I have to find that picture now.....

After receiving three cars I really coveted, from eBay & TTP, I should have couple of Yoroshiku Mechadoc cars(two I cherry picked) + finally those Boulevard 993 GT2s, along with few really fun cars, so I'm in for a good week. Also one car that will force Cano never to talk to me again.....

Oh come on, not again. I don't haave money to buy another now and stop this madness

No, you misunderstand. You will be absolutely disgusted with this car(dead giveaway), and also because of the series the casting belongs to, you just may disqualify this car from the thread altogether.

You are not gonna want this one. Trust me.

Edit: I missed this earlier.

HWC Grand National on sale tomorrow morning. 👍

Boy, are you guys gonna get this one? I think it's gonna be a wait & see for me. 917K, to top it off with the Gulf livery was a must for me. Grand National is definitely a sweet car, but without the actual photo on that one, I don't know. We'll see.....

 

[OtakuTaikun]

Theres a fire eater at my grocery store no ones picked up yet, is it worth it to pick it up?

 

[McZachenF1138]

Yes, it's a Treasure Hunt.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yes, it's a Treasure Hunt.

If its the new one.

No because it won't be worth a whole lot eventually.. plus, there are better looking fire trucks out there.

Ah, thanks for looking at your cars. 👍

I didn't look, but you're welcome.

Boy, are you guys gonna buy the National?

Nope. I can onry go after so many castings. Grand Nat happened to be one of the castings to get cut. Speaking of cuts, I'm going to try getting as many Shelby Cobras as I can.. though I may have to make a few exceptions here and there as I cannot justify spending over $50 for one item.

 

[Spacegoat]

That's crazy. We couldn't be further apart on the planet, not by much.

We each bought one at vaguely the same time and both our posts are within minutes from each other. Crazy indeed.

Ah. Then it's a Toyobaru or a Mitsu Eclipse. It's the two cars I really REALLY hate.

I've said that a lot about so many things.

Also some very nice CM's guys, great detail and the ZOMBOT, nice:tup:

Nothing for me yet this week, heading over to Toyworld tomorrow they're meant to have Hot Ones half price by their catalogue, but I'll believe it when I see it (they never have anything from their catalogue in store)

Purchased. 👍

If it's anything like the Toyworld near me, they won't. They rarely update their stock.

Dang! Got sniped at the last second for a Kyosho XJR9!

Ah well, back to my next target *shuffles into the darkness known as eBay*

 

[a6m5]

That was my first Kyosho. It was dirt cheap out of Hong Kong. I want to say little over $10, shipped.

Purchased. 👍

Dude. I was going to consider it, if it was readily available, but December?

Pass.

Ah. Then it's a Toyobaru or a Mitsu Eclipse. It's the two cars I really REALLY hate.

Not even close.

Also some very nice CM's guys, great detail and the ZOMBOT, nice:tup:

Somebody else appreciates the shiny Zombot! Thanks man. :tup:

Nope. I can onry go after so many castings.

No more Engrish, pleaaaaze! I work with bunch of white guys who speak Engrish.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Dude. I was going to consider it, if it was readily available, but December?

Pass.

I like that actually, because I don't have the money to get it right now but I still ordered it.

 

[a6m5]

👍

Seriously though, if I could pay for it, have it in my hands next week, I'd have strongly considered it. For $10 + shipping, hell yeah.......

 

[CodeRedR51]

Meh, just order it and forget it. Then surprise! Grand National in your mail box for Christmas.

Edit: Sold out.

How much was your max?

This is the method I use to increase my chance of winning, but obviously within limits.

I ask myself: "How much am I willing to spend reasonably?"

If it's $10, I add another $5. If it's $18, I do $25. If it's $33, I do $44... simply adding another chunk, but it's not that simple.

What happens near the end is that someone may try to snipe you by 25 cents... maybe 50. This is why I take my highest asking price and add another bit of money on top to "beat" that person who may bid more, but I won't bid any higher after. It's like a backup bid for you, where you have one last trick up your sleeve against the person who's out to snipe your original max bid, but you won't spend waaaaay more than you'd like.

how'd the thing go, Jason?

 

[a6m5]

Edit: Sold out.

Dang. Jokes on me.

Oh, well. They are still not a 'must have' for me. Again, they don't even have a sample pic for people to go off of. One thing that caught my eye was the Spectraflame "black". I bet that's gonna be pretty.

Check your FB inbox. You only got the Japan car.

Someone wanted it more badly than I did? Damn. Well, I really shouldn't be that surprised. That damn Automatic bid drove it up to $50 lol. Might've been a chance that Convention Cobra could've been won by sniping it for $50. But that's okay. I'll have to be really patient with big grabs like those.

Never seen what Spectraflame Black looks like I take it?



man I'm stealing from Lamley again... this makes him more and more popular. I'm jelly. but Flying customs:

What that cute-looking thing on the bottom?

`76 Chevy Chevette mate:tup:

 

[Spacegoat]

Nice, the Skyline and '76 Chevy look the goods. 👍

Edit: Curse you zak, because of the Falcons you posted before. I couldn't resist when I saw this. Had to have it for that price.

 

[zakyta_4]

Toyworld had got some new stock in Space, you should go check yours:tup:
Grabbed these:

They also had some Retro cars there, but all that was left was 3 A-Team vans which I already have, hopefully they get some of the newer ones in next

@Space:I had that one in my watch list for about 3 re-lists before I got the other one

I probably should. Nice haul, loving those Hot Ones, congrats. 👍

The previous FC lineup didn't really grab me, but all these look great. Yeah, even the 442, because it's a pretty good homage to this car:

I'll buy a case or something.
