1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[RCKakashi14]

The Sesto Elemento was actually part of my bucket list. The Z4 is a bonus, but I just have to get due to the level of detail it has! The blue one is the best color among the bunch of colorful Z4 GT3s!

You can't be in. You're supposed to cure people from this vice.

I'll admit, my methods are... unorthodox, but i feel the need to show by example.

It is similar to putting ones own hand over the lit stove.. to teach oneself that fire is indeed hot.

 

[Wilbur]

Glad to know about the GT40! Picked one up this morning, now the waiting game for it to get here, one of the only real castings I love.

 

[AOS-]

I'm in. My take: 290 cars.

I'm in too. 272.

I see you guys and I'm glad you've decided to take part.

So I'm back. I'm awake. It's a Sunday morning and I even turned down an on-call for this. The contest is now over! It's a shame some of you guys deliberately ignored a chance for free cars.

The name of the game was to guess the amount of cars in this photo without going over, and here are the participants:

150 - @R1600Turbo
155 - @commodoreben
175 - @Spacegoat
199 - @Wilbur
222 - @a6m5
272 - @Nessy
290 - @Cano
347 - @velly
456 - @juvcho

The correct number was : 338

Stealing the prize at the last few hours, the winner is Cano! R1600Turbo was way under the mark! juvcho must be seeing doubles! velly came close but just 9 cars too many! Should've went lower to cover a wider range!

Good game, folks. Next time, I may have to up the ante and make the game even tighter for even more excitement. I will speak with the winner shortly via PM.

I demand a recount!!!!

I have the Curiosity from last year, but been looking for this one, since it has the Martian dirt on the tires. I was shocked to find bunch of Kool Kombi(got 1 & another for my nephew), as earlier Kombis were pretty hard to find!

I did get the shipping confirmation on the GT-40, and 917K seems to be on the way out. 👍 I'm just sorry it's such an long wait for the "prize", the Gulf Drag Bus.

Have you heard any word on the Holiday Drag Dairy? I think the backorder release date was still January sometime....

Up until 2014, each Kool Kombi was progressively easier to find around here. But I haven't seen the new one at all.

Last I heard on the Holiday car was from one of the designers, and he said even though it's B/O dated in January they have every intention to mail it out before the holiday and, if I recall, he said the Holiday Drag Dairy and the Kool Kombi M&M car should both be out before the holidays.

This rover is "dirty".

I'm aware, but I wasn't about to wait in long lines just to buy the one car.

I would have for Herbie though.

 

[AOS-]

I demand a recount!!!!

For you, I will do a recount.

Would you look at that. I did make a boo-boo. I recounted and got 337. Cano is still the winner.

I love it.

Been awhile since I posted on here, but I'm baccckkk!!!

Noticed you in the Paul Walker thread. Nice to see you back Phil. 👍

Glad to know about the GT40! Picked one up this morning, now the waiting game for it to get here, one of the only real castings I love.

Congrats man. 👍 I bet you'll have it by the end of the week.

It's a shame some of you guys deliberately ignored a chance for free cars.

I was never going to accept them, had I won the prize. I was hoping you'd let me transfer the prize to whoever really wanted it.

I demand a recount!!!!

There goes your reputation, doctor!

Up until 2014, each Kool Kombi was progressively easier to find around here. But I haven't seen the new one at all.

Agreed. I think the only one I found before this was the white one.

I gotta tell you, I was checking out the one my nephew opened last night, this new red one just might be the coolest one. Red body, light blue base, yellow surfboards, white wheels & bright paint job look absolutely fun & awesome. I hope you find one soon to see for yourself. 👍 In fact, I'm gonna have to get another one for wheel swap. That one needs a set of real riders!

Ah, that's good news. 👍 It would be awesome if they come thru. Question: Do you remember when we get to sign up for next year?

I'm aware, but I wasn't about to wait in long lines just to buy the one car.

I would have for Herbie though.

I did this once with the Boulevard '69 Camaro(blue). Walmart line was long & I just wasn't in the mood. I never saw one again in stores. Good thing I found one cheap online.

 

[Nessy]

There goes your reputation, doctor!

[carfanatic45]

Picked these two at my local supermarket last night.

 

[Spacegoat]

Welcome back Phil, long time no see. 👍

You can't be in. You're supposed to cure people from this vice.

the winner is Cano!

I was way off. Congratulations Cano.

I was never going to accept them, had I won the prize. I was hoping you'd let me transfer the prize to whoever really wanted it.

Was wondering how that was going to work if you had won.

Dang, that does sound really cool. Gotta keep my eyes peeled.

The RLC memberships? Well, according to the timing of this year I'm guessing it should be end of January.

And I saw the club car next year is the Drag Dairy on neos too. And they are huge. Not sure if I like or not, will wait to see an actual model.

Thanks for the info. I definitely won't be doing this Chrome level thing at $89.99 + shipping, but I do plan on renewing again. 👍 Not very excited about Drag Dairy, but I didn't like the Camaro from this year either so.....

 

[Cano]

YUSSSSSSS FREE CARS!!!!!!!!!

And in your face, Doctor No!

Altough you were pretty close :0 but my systemathic method worked, mwahaha

I like the guy selling basic cars for $10. "Rare!!!" What an idiot.

He's not the idiot. He's fishing for them.





But then again, you are what you eat. Or so they say.

Classic. 👍

not a bad guess

Looking forward to the D-case. I need that Celica and Viper.

 

[CodeRedR51]

So....did I miss anything?

 

[a6m5]

So....did I miss anything?

Dr. Nessy lost it, Cano won hundreds of cars from the Canuck, and his ego has gotten bigger than ever(likely singing along "We are the Champions" by Queen, using his index finger for mustache). That's about it I think.

I don't like Queen.

That's an image I'm not going to be able to get out of my head for a while. 👍

 

[zakyta_4]

It's my birthday on tuesday, can I assume that's for me?

I wasn't sure which colour you'd like though mate, they also had a Maroon one

*Cut to me a few months later, Hey guys, here's my latest e-Bay purchase*

Or just let me know, I've got 5 plus the other 5 that are still around in store

Couple of eBay deliveries today:
picked this up for a nice opening bid:tup:

as you can see here:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/281209052587?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Also this was a must have

bit of size difference though

that was a nice game. thanks for the chance AOS

now I have to talk to Mr. Cano as some of those cars are impossible to find in Bulgaria

 

[AOS-]

@juvcho, It should be well noted I wasn't giving away those cars in the photo. Original post never said so, and I also pointed out it was going to be a small box. I don't have that kind of money to give away 300 cars just like that.


That said, you can check out current lots I'm selling on eBay that are still going for a low price. http://www.ebay.ca/sch/ayohes/m.htm...e=STRK:MESELX:IT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

 

[Cano]

Haha, if AOS was giving aways those cars in the picture I would have sung to We Are the Champions indeed.

EDIT: Zakyta, that was a hell of a steal of an opening bid! The Siku truck alone was well worth it!
