1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[AOS-]

Word. That will be easy to keep track of. Thanks for the insight.

I take it this would also mean that previous 1:64 Kyoshos ever released all were a part of a boxset, series or lineup?




Oh here's an index for CM'S cars. I take it it covers all of their products... unlike Kyosho.

Previous 1:64 Kyoshos also came in boxsets. Before that, they really are used to do the Beads Collection line.

Almost all Beads Collection models are in sky high prices, especially the Super GT models.

Harry: Just consider me the scalper/troll. Sorry.

You'll have to work harder to earn that title.

TBH, though, your collection (and I have watched it grow in the last few years) is really well put together, and I can just imagine how amazing it must be to see it all in one place.

Just tell me first when you set your table up at the flea market.

Oh! Also! I will be demanding the customary 50% GTPlanet Member Discount.

Well . . . I'm trying to make time to catch up on all the posts, and discussions, I am involved in - so hoping to hang out here all long weekend (Monday's a holiday.)

This is the second time this month, we've seen this 370Z!

I've criticized Jun Imai for casting designs before, but I discovered last night that, of the two castings that got me hooked into this hobby, he designed both.

I've told the story more than once, but I started buying Hot Wheels for the first time when my nephew(then barely a toddler) begun showing interest in them. Out of the cars I'd pick out for him, it was the Olds 442 & Datsun Bluebird/510 that got me started collecting. While I knew that he designed the Bluebird/510, I was surprised to see Jun Imai name while looking up info on Olds 442. Two for two. Props to him..... or thanks a lot.

Thanks for the compliments on my collection, Harry! I do like most of the cars I have, but I also wasted considerable time & money on many Hot Wheel-brand cars(all of them being mainline cars). I still like lot of the mainlines, but now I mostly shop for Hot Wheels with real rider tires, or more realistic cars from the likes of Johnny Lightning, Kyosho, etc.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.............




People say this of real cars: "They don't make them like they used to."
Could say the same things of model cars, too.



And something new to my collection:






And . . .:

Is that a bad thing?



I wish they didn't mess up the headlamps on Super Tsunami. Fine casting otherwise. I have the "Super TH" version. They are cheap!

Anyone want an RX-7 treasure hunt? Randomly found one today when we stopped at walmart for an oil drain pan.

Yes.

Damn it.. I missed the opportunity by 2 minutes!

 

[a6m5]

I just got on dude, seriously. Do you not have one yet Andy? Do you have a box or shipment pending with Jason?

 

[AOS-]

I was only lucky to ever find a '10 Camaro TH. And that was only once in the bluest moon. THs are much harder to come by here than in the US. Probably because distributors for the local stores here suck.

TL;DR ver: No I don't have the RX-7 TH yet. Cases are arriving at least 2 months later than your stores.

 

[CodeRedR51]

So who wants it?

 

[AOS-]

Shinpoopface is getting it. We settled it pretty easily.

No one can resist an ice cream bar, right Shinji?

 

[a6m5]

I'll take it Jason. Add her to the shipment, please. 👍 I'm also still interested in that zamac 240Z if you can find one at the meet, so keep me in mind!

What the hell.

P.S. I've never said "no" to an ice cream. Not possible.

Currently on sale on Toys 'R Us...

Now and then - one has to shut the lights off to see better.

So are 60th anniversary Matchboxes collectible? I got a gold mini and a mustang gt/cs, should I keep them in their boxes?

They were coveted at first, but I think they are now sort of everywhere. I just opened one of like three, or four Lamborghini Police Cars I have, just yesterday. Very cool car, and the little boxes are nice.

That still doesn't make the Arachnorod a cool casting to collect.

Collectable? Sure is. Keep it carded? Up to you. That rectangular graphic the cars sit above is actually a box for you to store your cars in so the product is designed to be taken out and boxed away for storage. I'm keeping mine in the blister because the presentation of the card is pleasing.

 

[a6m5]

I'm trimming the fat. If interested, please check out the cars I'm hoping to get rid of on eBay. They were waiving up to 500 listing fees, so....... I just finished up listing the crap, then the camera batteries died. I hope to be done by sometime tomorrow!

A Gold FAO Viper RT/10 starting at 99 cents? Same with a Kyosho CLK GTR Roadster? Gotdamn.

All starting at .99 cents. All of those cars I have very little to no interest in. I don't do international shipping, but I would make an exception for you & the other Canuck in here.........

Seriously, I've never created so many listings on eBay before. It's at 38 now, and I should have a few more tomorrow!

 

[CodeRedR51]

I've got my F&F set listed currently, up to $27 with over a day left.

 

[a6m5]

Mustang alone's worth good money. By the way, if you have a extra R35 from that series, I'd be interested in that too, Jason.

 

[AOS-]

I have an extra F&F GT-R. That's if vspec doesn't grab it first. Guy totally forgot about that PM. It's going to eventually become a custom if no one grabs it off me.


By International, you mean the "regular" shipping right? Not that overpriced "international" poop service you currently offer?

I don't.

I already have one waiting to ship to him.

 

[a6m5]

That's probably why he isn't looking for one anymore. No biggie, I don't have to have it. I was just wondering!

Yeah, not the "Global" service offered by eBay/Pitney Bowes. I'd charge you guys just the actual postage(on your own with the import duty lol). 👍

Well, I'll get that PM out soon, and besides, I got two games pre ordered, mostly GTA V first. So I'll get that PM out. Sorry for the wait.

I don't.

Can't go wrong with one more GTR. And I'll probably use it as a custom later.

But do you want the GTR Jason? I can take the Challenger and Chevelle from Andy and let you have it.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Here are the pics of the Matchboxes I got.

 

[Spacegoat]

Might be a conspiracy there, ludicrous claims thread maybe

👍

Oh! Also! I will be demanding the customary 50% GTPlanet Member Discount.

Only 50%? And here I thought we were friends.

Shinpoopface is getting it.
