1/64 Model Collectors Thread

When I first saw the listing's thumbnail image, I thought it had missing wheels.

You made me go look at his just to make sure it really wasn't missing it!

It does look like it's missing it's front wheels in pictures, yes.

 

[CodeRedR51]

ugh, tell me how much is it so I can tell you for sure, as I'm a bit short of money right now. I also have to make Ahmed put down his part of the money And also, remember I have your Falcon and Escort over here. PM me the ammount :0

Most of it has already been paid for, and minus the trade for my cars. (how much were they?) It shouldn't be much.

@Spaceboat, That's probably why I didn't buy it.

 

[carfanatic45]

My Acura NSX Concept collection. I've scraped off the paint on the rims of the first one and bought another grey one. I'll probably do the same if I ever find another red one.

 

[AOS-]

We need to see this diorama you've made. Post it here though. Cheers.

 

[Spacegoat]

Store stuff from yesterday. Actually went out with the intention of finally buying Bioshock Infinite, but ended up with these instead. Also got another 620 & Hot Ones Hare Splitter to open.

Nice find on the Jetsons..... I've yet to see one! Much kudos to Matchbox for making that 4Runner. Awesome throwback rig. I so can not wait for the Back to the Future Marty's Toyota 4x4 to come out!

PSA - Hot Wheels sales this weekend:

Wal-Mart .60 basic cars, on sale tomorrow Nov. 22 through Wed Nov 27. My walmart already had them marked down though.
Dollar General three day sale, thurs-sat: Buy 1 Get 2 free. Yes, you're reading that right. Though their msrp is about $1.25.

I picked up about 10 Hot Wheels tonight after I saw they were already .60 each. I'll try to get a pic up soon, nothing too outstanding. I STILL can't find a Herbie bug or Jetsons car. The cars I want most I can never find.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I had thoughts of swinging by my Walmart in the morning but there is a 100% chance of rain, so I've changed my mind.

 

[a6m5]

Ah, I forgot about Herbie. If I can't find the mainline, I'll definitely try for the Retro Entertainment one.

Dwight - I can't remember if you ordered the Gulf GT40, but looks like it got pushed back to December 3rd. Now I have two GT40 & two Porsche 917 shipping on the 3rd.

P.S. I didn't know how the point system worked, but I had enough for 1 car, and it says the order shipped couple of days ago. I can't wait.

Yeah I went by tonight since we're supposed to get rain/freezing rain tomorrow and I'm lazy.

I'd love to have the retro too (when it's out) but every store here stopped getting in new retro cars two batches ago. Sucks.

Yes, I ordered the GUlf GT-40, and although they didn't email me, after I wasn't charged I went into my account and saw it changed. I also read at some point that they plan on getting the Holiday car out by Christmas too, and maybe the Datsun? Can't remember, but December could bring a lot of goodies.

Getting the Holiday car by Christmas would be spectacular, but I just hope they don't delay the M&M Kool Kombi. I think that was scheduled for the end of the year. Gulf Drag Bus is my #1 target, but I think that was late January.

 

[photonrider]

Over here in Mexico, about $8, lol. I'll explain........................XsnipX.............

Good answer, Cano. Learn something new everyday. 👍

 

[AOS-]

I have nearly most of those cars you have shown

That's not a good thing.

 

[Wilbur]

I'm a tad jealous of those Gulfs!

So wow.
Much real.

You have been busy, haven't you carfanatic ? . That's great stuff, I enjoyed coming upon those images unexpectedly. We have to pick your brains about this. On-the-mark perspectives, too, complemented by photography that isn't overdone. Take AOS's pointer and head to the Photography Forum and the Diorama Discussion in which we are discussing all this stuff (model and environment building, scaling, composition, materials, etc, etc) in depth, as well as the actual photography (lighting, tools, techniques, etc, etc) - I'm sure a lot of us model builder/photography boffins would love to know the details.

Your cars were $3 each. How much would it be for me then? :0

 

[CodeRedR51]

PLEASE keep that crap out of this thread. Drives me nuts.

I'll get you a total this weekend.

 

[Cano]

Ok, I'll tell Ahmed to prepare his wallet too.

 

[CodeRedR51]

He already paid for his Indy cars, so are you guys splitting the Matchbox?

Also, I can make the box smaller by opening stuff. Is there anything you want to keep in it's package?

 

[Cano]

Yeah we're splitting the Matchboxes. What's still in the package by now? I don't even remember what I grabbed from your last bunch.

 

[AOS-]

PLEASE keep that crap out of this thread. Drives me nuts.

Dude, just let that stuff go. It's just humour someone likes that you don't. I'm sure you wouldn't like to be told what to and not to post.

More like a suggestion, but whavever.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Haven't really been buying much but I got these today.


Finally a DB5


Also picked up a Gasser since I didn't have one. Still haven't seen a C7, maybe I just don't look hard enough.

 

[carfanatic45]

@AOS- and @photonrider i have posted my diorama here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/diecast-dioramas-op-for-gallery-thread-for-workshop.249319/

 

[photonrider]

PLEASE keep that crap out of this thread. Drives me nuts.

Haha.
Wow.
Or else?



I got your tone of voice, though, and agree . . . it's an infestation. Just a little light humour. This too shall pass. But, do undo the knot in your knickers. 👍
MG, That DBS. Got to get one.

 

[CodeRedR51]

We should just keep the diecast discussion in here, and the doge stuff in the doge thread. Just sayin'.

 

[photonrider]

I wasn't discussing doge, Jason, I used it to sign off my post . But we do seem to be discussing it now, eh?

How about we discuss trading and selling here, instead? The Marketplace is too busy, no?

This was an addition to my collection of Bone Shakers - I saved $3.00 by getting it at half price:





Now I can put the money I saved towards buying an iPad. (Since I need an iPad to make it work.)
Somewhere, somehow, I think I lost some money instead of saving any.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yet another 🤬 multi-pack car I need. (Falcon)
