1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[DwightSchrute12]

HWC Datsun Bluebird/510 to go on sale this Tuesday, at 9am. No more than 3,000 is to be produced.



That is such a bull-blank. Cars limited to 4,000 are selling out in less than 10 minutes, and Mattel is going to limit these to even smaller number? Sorry Jason, but I think this one's going to be for the record books. Both in the shortest time to completely sell out, and also for the highest price achieved by scalpers on eBay.

Well, if there's any silver lining here, it's that the Datsun isn't part of the subscription. So most of those 4,000 cars were actually only 2,000 on the day of sale because the other half were part of sub plans.

It will still probably sell out really fast, but a little silver lining. I wish they had put up the e-sheet though, I'd like to see more than one pic. I'll try for one Tuesday though.

Ah, good to know. I didn't realize that. 👍

 

[Spacegoat]

Look what happened to the Exige S, the TL version came out immediately after the normal variant got out. There might be a huge demand for it...

Hopefully so. 👍 And you just reminded me that I still need to get the Limited Exige S to go with the normal version.

Tomica kills off the "Tomica Limited" line.

Aw, that's a pity.

I much prefer Vintage stuff anyway.....

Wish they were a little cheaper though.

 

[a6m5]

Wish they were a little cheaper though.

True. I do have to give it more thought before ordering cars from Vintage series due to higher cost.

Vintage do pull off that seriously-accurate diecast look though, and while it's spendy, everytime I order one, I'm very happy with what I receive!

Awesome stuff guys, but those Gulf cars

Got an eBay delivery on Monday, bit late with some pics (damn 10hr days at work)

[a6m5]

The stock Holden looks pretty cool & interesting, but that racing version...... those rims & tires! Sweet car. 👍

 

[McZachenF1138]

Have any of you guys found the tan and blue Boulevard Bronco?
I found mine a couple weeks ago at either a Marshalls or TJ-MAXX.

I bring this up because every time I look at it, it gets better.
The casting, colors, wheels, and ride height are all spot on.
It's one of the few Hot Wheels that I think is perfect from the factory.

I was wondering if any of you feel the same.

 

[Bo]

Went out and got myself this:

They also had a silver Acura NSX Concept, i've seen 3 locally so will probably pass up on it, but I also saw a red 2000gt and blue E30 M3 which both caught my eye.

Those Walkinshaws are brillant Zakyta. Ive got the stock Silver one in 1:18 and I love it.

 

[TorqueHappenS08]

This just in, guys.

Tomica kills off the "Tomica Limited" line.

So no more detailed versions of normal Tomicas...

TLVs are still produced though...

Can we get some links?

 

[Spacegoat]

Holden VL Walkinshaw

Nice. 👍

Yep, same here. 👍 Would have loved to have had the 1:18 HRT version to go with it. But the prices they are going for these days.

 

[homeforsummer]

Not been in this thread in ages. Here are my two most recents:

Renault Zoe - Norev

Datsun 240z - Hotwheels

 

[CodeRedR51]

[RCKakashi14]

http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/tomica/pop_tl.htm

It's in Japanese, but as what I can understand, is that they're thanking everyone who patronized the line for 12 years, and they might update the Tomica Limited site for future developments.

They ended production last June.

 

[Johnny1996]

I'm sure it's Hot Wheels.

Edit: Link did not work. Just try clicking here & typing the car name in the search box.

Oh yeah that's right! I have that in my Hot Wheels collection too. That was a stupid question on my part, all because I got the 2D and 2J mixed up.

edit: anyone need a Fiesta TH?

I wouldn't mind the Fiesta T-Hunt but I have no more space in my TH box for it. I have little wall space thanks to other stuff, hence the box.

EDIT: If one reply to a different person from me following another reply to another person counts as a double post, I do apologize. Just let me know.

It's cool, i can read kana, And yes, that sucks, i was a fan of TL, got 0013-0053, But at the same time, it's not really that sad for me, as i have moved on to kyosho for my 1:64 JDM needs, thanks for the heads up though:tup:

Really, as long as TLV and TLV NEO are around, i am fine.

Wow, she's a beaut Ben!

Jason should recognize some of the cars you received.

Edit:

See!

Also, I'm glad that Camaro button made it. I snuck that one in after the shipment was already packaged up.

Message says that TLs are discontinued for now, and its plan for re-release is undecided.

While they are not saying TLs are gone for good, if they are stopping sales, it's currently not a overwhelming success, obviously. I'd be kind of surprised if they bring it back, at least in the immediate future.

edit: anyone need a Fiesta TH?

I'm good!

Renault Zoe - Norev

This one came out of nowhere!

EDIT: If one reply to a different person from me following another reply to another person counts as a double post, I do apologize. Just let me know.

It does. We just copy & paste multiple replies to one post.

 

[Johnny1996]

To a6m5: I'm new here on GTP so I'm still working my way around how everything works on the site so I don't know how to copy and paste yet but I'm on a smartphone currently and will be moving to PC tomorrow after finishing the Mazda Roadster 4-hour endurance at Tsukuba. Thanks for letting me know!

 

[a6m5]

I just visited TTP & looks like those Red Line Club Texas Drive 'Em are now reaching the $70~$80 range. Very nice(especially for Dwight!).

Arigatou gozaimasu, a6-san.

I'm still brushing up on my Nihongo in my spare time.

That's a bit of good news there. Maybe they will come up with something better, or maybe they will focus first on TLV and TLVNs.

 

[Spacegoat]

Congratulations on the new car, Ben. Love the colour choice.

 

[commodoreben]

It's a prototype colour from Holden. It's not even available on their colour charts yet. I was just lucky that it was at the dealers when I was there not many have been painted in this colour so far. Have to wait and see if Holden adds it to their normal colour selection.
