1/64 Model Collectors Thread

They flipped the colours to dodge licensing!

The Chevette would make a for a cute sleeper for the drag strip and the 442 can totally be modded to be a Baja.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Got some new ZAMACs, Matchboxes, M2s, and Cool Classics today.
Pictures when I'm not in school!

Only thing I want out of the last FC set is the Skyline.

 

[AOS-]

A group order on the set is still unlikely to happen because we're all going to fight over the Skyline. I can take the Chevette and the other dudes can fight over the trucks and 442. But it's still a fight over the Skyline.

One possible solution is you getting your own and if there are any others, we can all have a contest to see who guesses right (or closest without going over) a number between 1 and 100 to determine who gets the other Skyline.... but seeing as how everyone's been saying they got no money, I don't want to see this happen.

 

[McZachenF1138]

My mom had a Chevette (or as her tall uncle would call it, a Shove-it ), so I gotta get one of those for her desk.
Although, a Chevette isn't exactly a car to me most pround to have once owned.

Edit: Ouch!

I'll end up getting it from the local meets.

Your Cobra shipped by the way.

If it ever comes out. This could be like Hot Wheels Racing last year. They have said this batch will only be distributed to those venues that request it, and I don't know if that includes hobby dealers. It doesn't include any US big box stores...

A lot of people at the meets buy boxes and sell cars individually. 👍

How much was your max?

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

*snip*

My max was £12, as the bidding was already at £8 with 3 hours to go. I quickly put another £1 on top, but someone out 50p on that.

I did find this though, which is interesting

http://www.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=390643549328

An all-black XJR9, for a good price too. All added up its £6, I may bid in the last few minutes. Hope I snipe the guy who got me before. Revenge will be sweet.

Google Docs failed me with spreadsheets since it's having trouble loading all those images. I'm unable to make a single XLS with multiple sheets containing a vast amount of images, because Drive can't handle it. So I started using make HTML tables per alphabet per post in my blog:

http://athobbies.blogspot.ca/2013/08/diecast-collection-y.html

That's what they will look like for now. I can't wait to get this done.

Awesome. I love my cobras like I love my tea.

It doesn't include any US big box stores...

Oh my. If they pull another "Road Racer Bonanza", I'm going to go all out. I can grab cars for you guys like last time, but please be prompt about having available funds and payment.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just got the World Race 5pk for the Furai, anyone want the leftovers?

Also, saw the Cool Classics at Walmart, but for $3.47 each....gonna pass.

 

[a6m5]

My cars came in today..... first the good news.

This is the Cano "Car" I was talking about:



I could never find this car & now I know why. It's a "chase" & it says so on the card. I really like xB/bB

Now to the bad news: I ordered several M2 cars from TTP seller? Two of the cars were Chevelles, and since I didn't have any, I was really looking forward to getting them.

First, I received a email that all black Chevelle was duplicated listing, and it was already sold. Bummer. I received the second Chevelle, orange/red(I call it "Chinese-Red"), and it is absolutely beautiful, but something didn't look right........ it's missing the grille. 0 for 2.

I contacted the seller about it. I asked him to look around for it, then I looked around for it. Neither of us could find it, but he emailed me that he'll make it right, so I got that going for me at least.

Grabbed these:

I think the Supra & BRAT goes for premium on eBay. Great job! 👍

Tomica Mazda Atenza (Mazda 6):

I think Mazda 6 is one of the best looking midsize sedan, ever......... this Tomica......... not so much.

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 liked Texas Drive 'Em & Skyline, but was not feeling the 442(one of my favorite cars) so much, not until you brought up what inspired the casting. Awesome. 👍

If it ever comes out. This could be like Hot Wheels Racing last year. They have said this batch will only be distributed to those venues that request it, and I don't know if that includes hobby dealers. It doesn't include any US big box stores...

Wow. Disappointing, but great intel. 👍

I might get one or two, if I see 'em at Walmart. What's in the World Race pack? ***I'm interested. How much? I want Lotus fo sho. Probably the two Lambos.

Tomica Mazda Atenza (Mazda 6):

October 2013

Love the Mazda 6...

 

[AOS-]

What's in the World Race pack?

That baller blue 25th Anniversary Countach I have, gold Reventon, the dinky black Furai, an orange Esprit and Champagne One-77.

 

[a6m5]

I edited my post at the same time, but I think I want the Lotus for sure, probably two Lambos...... How much are you selling the Furai for Jason? j/k

 

[AOS-]

I know someone who can sell you the Lotus for like $1.30 - $1.50 with really low postage. I want to say he can sell you the rest, but I bought them off him 2 weeks ago.

Thanks Andy, but I'd only get them if I can get them from j-dawg. Jason's already holding handful of cars for me.

 

[CodeRedR51]

$1 each.

 

[a6m5]

$1 each.

I'll take them. Please!

I'm not that keen on that Aston? Would anybody else want them? If not, I will take it too.

Pics of M2 cars:

^^^^missing grille^^^^​

And best car of the bunch, w/rocking interior detail:



Chevy LCF will have to wait. I'm done.

 

[Cano]

Crap I need more M2s. That Olds :0

 

[GTP_Stig]

Great collection a6! Love that Ford pick-up!

 

[a6m5]

Thanks, but those are the cars I just got today. 👍

Cano: I think my old green 442 looks better. You had the red one, didn't you? M2's indeed are so cool!

 

[AOS-]

Page for all cars under "V" is done. This is taking much longer than I like!

http://athobbies.blogspot.ca/2013/08/diecast-collection-v.html

Let me know what you guys think of the layout and the quick links.

Every page will have a list of castings you can jump to, each table has a "jump to top" link to its bottom-right, an A-Z index - each letter being links to its corresponding alphabet - are available both at the top and bottom, and each image can be clicked on for a larger resolution.

Yes I have a red one with red dog dishes. Amazing.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Hey R1600Turbo, I have left you a PM in your inbox. 👍

@A6: Aww man, you beat me to the Lotus Esprit dude! But I'll lookout for the 5-pack, when I get the chance.

BTW, Sweet cars bro. Love the M2s. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Probably won't get to it until the weekend, tablet sucks for typing and netbook isn't working at the moment. Super busy at work.

 

[Spacegoat]

this Tomica......... not so much.

Really? I mean aside from the obvious *cough*those wheels*cough*. Looks pretty good to me.

Pics of M2 cars:

The detail on the Mustang is killer, but the pick of the bunch for me is the F-100. 👍

Let me know what you guys think of the layout and the quick links.

Really like the layout, super easy on the eyes and more importantly it's easy to navigate. Great job with it. 👍

Ok. Whenever you get the chance. I'm not in no rush. 👍

Thanks for the input, Jarrod. I spent a good half hour trying to create a table that borders the car name and the existing table last night. I'm sure you can do that but Blogger just won't let you put a table in a table for some dumb reason.

After flipping a table or two, I had readjusted the minor things which I now have to bring over to 26 other pages to match the same change. ugh! Can't wait to get that done though. I still got cars to document too.

What do you think of the little note I located at the bottom? About the FR and colour codes? Do you see any potential problems or possibly a different way to illustrate this data?

 

[Cano]

What is that FR thing, Andy?
