1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Wilbur]

Difference is, ours will come autographed by John Morton, the driver that took the BRE Datsun to the Trans Am title in 1972 (iirc) and the guy who prepared the car for racing, Peter Brock. So, yeah, a bargain at $80 if you ask me.

Now that is different ballgame all together, I can understand it now. I was going to say holy crap!

According to Van over on HWC (hotwheels designer) we'll be seeing the Subaru BRAT again in 2014. And it's supposed to be red.

 

[Spacegoat]

That blue color really caught my attention. Fits very well with the Espada's rather awkward styling.

With you on this. Looks great in that colour. 👍

Red and silver are the other variants:

I'd tap that silver one.

Also, new-case stuff just landed here. In the past couple days I grabbed the gold '71 Mustang, the green '70 Camaro, the brazilian Charger, the red/numbers Celica, the blue 71 Muatang funny car, the candy red RX7 and other stuff. Was really surprised to find them already. Ahmed even grabbed the weird helicopter.

Also, I did trade the guys from the flea amrket of the other day, grabbed 3 early Tomicas in good shape, as well as some resto projects including a Siku Mercedes wagon. All in all pretty productive trades. They also told me to come back every friday, which is when they take out the new stuff that falls in their hands, with more stuff to trade them. so this can get to be a great contact after all.

Wish I had $50 to waste.

Crap that's rare.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yep, yet another car I have to let slip through my fingers.

These damn 2014 Deloreans look hella great. Mattel should keep most cars to this level of tampo simplicity.

 

[Johnny1996]

Finally back. Since my last time posting, I've found a Fast Fish 2013 T-Hunt. That's now about ~20-30 T-Hunts, not one of them bought on the secondary market. Lately have been customizing, but those stories will of course be documented in the proper place.

EDIT: Found a Hot Wheels Fiero 2M4. It's from 1991 and has the Basic Wheels. But take this out for a spin: the car name on the base says, "59 FIERO 2M4." That's right, "59" as in 1959.
Obviously an error, but might be worth something.

I grabbed these cars a week ago on a trip to the grandparents.

Worth the wait. A small toy store finally sells this for 300 Philippine Pesos (6.74 USD)

Ben, you already have the World Race 5-pack.

I finally received some cars today, but I was in for some mega disappointment...... Still no School Busted(3 of them) that I've been dying to get, and tracking shows it arrived to my box 6 days ago. WTF

Well, here we go:

Johnny Lightning 1970 Chevy Nova SS


Hot Wheels 100% Lead Sledz '51 Mercury Hirohata(this time w/flame job)


Johnny Lightning 1996 Dodge Ram - Hot Wheels Delivery Dodge A100 - HW Heavy Chevy - '69 Dodge Charger

Last, but not least: Hot Wheels Mexico Collectors Event Exclusive Deco Delivery

@commodoreben That red & white '76' Dodge A100 in the background(not the blue & red) is my second one. If you don't have one yet, I'd hang on to it for you, if interested.

 

[Johnny1996]

Johnny Lightning 1970 Chevy Nova SS

Really? Why do I have to have a JL collection sans this Nova? That's my next JL Chevy I buy. I'm getting so mad and jealous right now. Why do... AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Would love to see that in 1:24 scale, JL or not. Awesome find, a6, and maybe I'll find this Nova soon. My top JL I want now.

 

[commodoreben]

I had to second 5 pack. This one im thinking about opening. Keep that second A100 for me please A6

TTP, bud. TTP.

I got that Nova(awesome, indeed 👍), JL Dodge Ram, two Dodge A100 from the HW Delivery series, that purple Chevy Camaro & orange Charger for $16.64 or something like that. Total should've been a dollar more, but when I told the seller that, he said the shipping was actually cheaper, so he decided to pass on the savings. Another recommended seller, and he still have few cars on there(I'd check out his boulevard lot - 3 cars per lot, no Nova though).

Good luck Johnny!

Well, thanks for wishing me luck, but, Houston, we have a problem: I cannot do online buying.

 

[a6m5]

Picked up 3 cars while grocery shopping:


Maistos All Stars 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS(98 cents!)

Well, thanks for wishing me luck, but, Houston, we have a problem: I cannot do online buying.

I'm sorry to hear that(actually, sounds like a blessing in disguise ). Well, when you are able to, I'm sure it'll readily be available on eBay or TT!

Just before Christmas few 1:64 scale models by Norev

Worth the wait. A small toy store finally sells this for 300 Philippine Pesos (6.74 USD)

Multi-scale:

i swear, if i lived there, there would be nothing left in that store.... At all, going for that cheap.. Also finally ordered me that beauty from Autoart i'm so glad it's back on sale, no more 1200$ ebay auctions... but it will slightly lose it's rare novelty.

now all you need to do is build a 1:24 aoshima, tamiya or fujimi AE86, and your set.

 

[a6m5]

Hmmm..........

That could be nice, but I'm not really fond of plastic assembly models. Perhaps the Fujimi 1:43 model is my next target (and it's a diecast model, actually).

As for the Dream Tomica model, it is cheap because of the official distributor of Tomica pricing it at SRP. Yes, we have a distributor, and we get almost all the latest Tomica models thanks to that. So no need for me to go online or go to another toy store (that sells it for 25 USD) and flush out lots of money.


My next Tomica target? I don't know, maybe the Lexus IS 350 F-Sport and the Lotus Exige R-GT.

As for Kyosho 1:64, I'm eyeing on the LaFerrari and the Lamborghini Veneno.

Like that Van and Charge, @a6m5. 👍 Also looks like you beat me to the Land Rover.

Like that Metro, @juvcho. I was going to get that LeMans racer one time but let it slide.

Lastly a Muscle Machines Harley Davidson 48 Ford Anglia.

For the longest time I've wanted to get that lime green '29 Ford Pickup MM as a desktop accessory, but kept telling myself to save it for something cooler. Well, at least now I'm not the first to grab one here.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

@commodoreben That lightning McQueen car was super cool

Thanks Ando. I actually saw that Land Rover last weekend at Walmart, along with another new Matchbox I was going to get, but line was long so I ditched it & moved onto the next Walmart(literally 5 minutes away, if that ) where I bought that Mustang 50th auto carrier. Believe it or not, Cayenne was the bigger catch to me. Very cool looking SUV.

 

[Spacegoat]

Well, here we go:

Dude, Dat Nova & A100. Probably sounds a little weird but I'm digging that JL Dodge Ram too. Excellent stuff. 👍

Thank you J-Money. That Ram, it has been like the third time I tried pulling the trigger on that truck(always as part of a group buy). Little oddball cars here & there do add to my collection, at least for me(probably you, too!).

 

[CodeRedR51]

Went to the dollar store to get some packing materials and checked the toy isle while I was there. Saw nothing as usual, so I went over and grabbed the packing stuff and on the way out I glanced over to a shelf and saw Hot Wheels. Started going through them and it was D-case stuff. Grabbed a few things:

- SA22C RX-7 without roll cage (red)
- Flintstones Mobile (new recolor)
- Skyline GT-R R34 (black)
- Subaru Impreza WRX (blue)

 

[TorqueHappenS08]

Still have not been able to find the hotwheels civic EF... or datsun truck.. but did run into a massive wall of 1:32 kinsmarts at CVS... so lucky me?
