1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Spacegoat]

I once had a seller ship me one in a softer paper box, like the kind light bulbs comes packaged in? Sad.

Probably because the seller knew you don't collect and figured you wouldn't care.

Sweet GTO btw. 👍

Also found this lovely thing. About 6 of them actually.

Look at that one dot of shine on the front wheel.

2013 Retro Entertainment Ferrari 250 California

To think I was about to pay some UK dingbat $12 for it last month due to impulse and the preconceived idea that I'll probably never find it in stores anymore.

Get one for me then.

Kyosho 1:64 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R Racing

One of my best buys...

 

[Shinshiki]

^Proper. Makes me wish HW would make another casting of it.

 

[Cano]

Very cool Kakashi. Ahmed's got that one and it's an awesome model. I've got the 1:43 version of those (all 5) and they're pretty spot on.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Hot Wheels vs. Kyosho:

Kyosho also made a green-striped variant, albeit I couldn't find one...

Get one for me then.

Will do.

 

[Cano]

I'd ask for one too if the shipping from over there wasn't such a killer

 

[MedigoFlame]

The California and Hakosuka...

And good news!

Hey Mark! Didn't expect you here...

I peaked in here months ago but didn't post. I was looking at my YouTube Analytics for the Convention video and it showed that my video was posted here. MedigoFlame has been kind to post my videos before too!

Me neither(I don't know him lol).

OK, I changed my profile picture. Maybe that will help =)
I guess it might take a bit of time for the profile pic to update.

That dude who offers his take on new cars as he's pulling them out of the case? I do watch those when you guys post them here!

Yup, that be me.

Indeed he is "that dude," from those case videos. A great respect towards him for making them and having done a very long streak of daily videos and sharing his own collection and stories with his viewers.

Hope to see Mark around these forums more often, but he's definitely got a busy life!

That year and a half streak of daily videos really catapulted my channel into the stratosphere! 100 million views, 50,000 subscribers! It definitely keeps me busy!

His personal collection? Can you link that here? I'd love to check that one out!

It takes me about 15 minutes to do a video on a new 72-count case. How long do you think the video would be for over 7,000 cars LOL!

Happy collecting!
Mark

Don't doubt that at all. Beautiful. 👍

All my delayed shipments came in today:

Big sale buys(seller threatening to close shop on ttp sale!):










Finally.......



I gave up on Super Treasure Hunt Toyota Tundras, but I found these:



Screw Photobucket & their sideways photos. Also, all three shipments came in less than optimal conditions, with this Toyota being the worst:



Those rubber band things that Mattel use as hold downs, they corroded the finish on this truck. No mention of it in the listing, but seller was telling me about serious accident in the family delaying the shipment, so while I feel like I got ripped off, I don't feel like trying to get a hold of him for a discount, or money back for it. Live & learn(not really).

I'm gonna have to look at that one. Beautiful.

Probably because the seller knew you don't collect and figured you wouldn't care.

No.

Sweet GTO btw. 👍

Thanks! Sure beats the gray one, which I think I had two of.

One of my best buys...

I've yet to own one. Every time I had the chance to get it, something else would come up. In fact, I had to pass on it just over the weekend(for another old Skyline). Maybe one of these days.

Touché.... I will check out some of your videos. I hope you find some time to visit us, every now & then. Nice meeting you Mark!

Stopped by TJ Maxx and Marshall's at the mall and did find a couple of Boulevards. None that I wanted though... Bronco, Wagoneer, and C6.R. Also finally found the Retro Daytona and Mini at Walmart.

That Speed Machines look so good(with those fake real riders.... lol). Falcon XB's the only Super Treasure Hunt I ever found!

You are the only one I have ever seen call the co-molds fake real riders.

I kid, because they tricked me.

Edit: I just checked out the HWC Shop? People say that Dairy Delivery released on Tuesday sold out in minutes. It looked DOG ugly to me. I wouldn't have touched it for $2.99, but to each his own. Also, that Gulf 917K finally sold out, but GT-40 still available.

In their forum, a member was bringing up idea about BRE 4-car series(I think, like the Gulf series). It's somebody's wet dream, but I'd love to see one with 510, 620 truck, 240Z....

Here's my Redlines playlist:

Uck, heavy hitter indeed. There are some way good cars in there without necesarily getting into the obscenely exotic stuff. And I love the bunch of Noodleheads. It's evident you're a racer, everyone that races redlines has told me that thing is the best for downhills. I should chase one down and try it at the Mexico Club's 12-meter downhill track.

You're the only one I know that thought those were Real Riders. WTF.

The Falcon XB's colour turned out to be a lot less attractive than I expected.

The LOOSE $uper TH Falcon XB is up for trades if anyone is dying to add a $uper to their collection. This is also available for trades too:

What the hell. He is alive.

My premium membership ran out and my computer broke, so I haven't felt like going on GTPLANET anymore.
That's not to say I haven't seen the pictures Racegrooves took from the LA convention dinner or picked up some 2014 A-case cars from Target last night.

You should send me my Holiday 240Z.

I haven't?

You suck for that. Nothing should prevent you from coming to GTP. Nothing.
