1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[a6m5]

Wow, that absolutely makes no sense to me. I have an F44 without the cage, and an F40 with the cage. I figured somewhere around F41-F42 they switched to a cageless interior. WTF.

I so enjoy being a mindless collector. One has cage, one doesn't. "Cool!", and that's about the extent of it for me.

Nice stuff, I haven't seen the Mustang funny car before. I so need that.. 👍 And funny you should post the Matchbox R8, actually passed on one of those in favour of the Challenger.

Funny car I'm giving to my nephew. I wasn't going to pick it up until I saw that it does open up, so he'll enjoy that.

I actually passed up on R8 before, too. For whatever reason, it looked pretty darn good this time around. I don't recall seeing the shiny rims before either. It's nice. 👍

Have no idea, being an Aussie car I assumed they were all right hand drive. Probably a variation or something.

Brain fart. I meant right-hand drive. Being in the US, I thought the steering wheel was on the wrong side.

You give him enough things, give it to me instead.

Yeah, I've always liked those Matchbox wheels. Probably will pick one up next time.

Actually left hand drive is wrong. Down here we drive on the correct side of the road.

 

[Johnny1996]

🤬! Somehow just got stabbed by a pen as if it was a sharp pencil.

@Spacegoat: How did I know that was coming?

 

[a6m5]

You gotta give the chap a break, Johnny. If you drove around upside down, you'd be confused, too.

Love you J-Money.

Did I confuse you?

J-Money/J-Dawg/Magic Johnson/???(maybe more nicknames) = Jarrod = Spacegoat

Jarrod lives in Australia, and this is what their cars look like:

So there are other cars than Falcons and Holdens down there. I see.

 

[a6m5]

But they are all upside down.

 

[Johnny1996]

But they are all upside down.

And don't even get me started on their racecars (Except for the V8 Supercars. Those are sweet!).

EDIT: Holy amazing, great balls of fire that's a Camaro!

 

[Spacegoat]

@Spacegoat: How did I know that was coming?

Because I'm predictable?

The heat today doesn't help either.

and this is what their cars look like:

Indeed. Sweet R32 btw.

(Except for the V8 Supercars. Those are sweet!).

Damn straight. @R1600Turbo has seen the light, though he supports the wrong team.

 

[Johnny1996]

I'm impartial. Yes, I've heard that down there you are born Ford or Holden, but I'm impartial. Too bad I can't find a network to catch the races on.

Anyone but Holden.

Website for my collection is coming along. WRX STI and BRAT sections finished except for wheel pics, also changed up the theme a bit. This is going to take a while.

Perhaps you can include something on the sides to tie it all up? Having no enclosures (such as borders) on the sides makes it feel somewhat incomplete for a webpage.

Tomica M-18 De Tomaso Pantera GTS:

There is also a Tomica Limited version of this, painted in red. Although it is much harder to find...

 

[Cano]

:0 is that still made in Japan, Kakashi? It sure looks the part with them skinny tires from back in the day and of course the paint which is exactly as how that car was released back in the 80s, but Tomica might still use them today. Japan or China?

EDIT: I'm going with China based on tampos and the wheels, which look a bit odd.

 

[RCKakashi14]

It still is the same old casting from way back they first released it. This is the latest one, found not in the regular lineup, but in the Tomica Museum line, hence the "M" on the naming convention.

The Museum line is filled with the latest versions of the old castings. The De Tomaso, Miura SV, Countach LP500S, Porsche 930, Lotus Esprit S2, Lotus Europa Special, Fairlady Z Z31 are in that lineup. And they're expensive, I paid 500 Philippine Pesos (11.20 USD) for that...



EDIT: Here's the entire Museum series:

Nothing I can do about that. Website is set at a maximum of 1000px so that it will conform to pretty much any browser/monitor size.

Ah, I see. Boo. Well, it's a viable alternative for getting some of them old favorites, as some of those are way hard to find nowadays and the old castings are light years better than the crap Tomica does today.

As an extra, the made-in-Japan vintage version of the car also came like this:

which is how I have it. I also have it with the thin wheels like yours, but it's a bit rough. The one with sports wheels is mint. I've been chasing the black/gold version for ages to no avail, that one is freaking hard.

"Prototype"

Uh huh.

 

[AOS-]

At least two people bought into that.

 

[CodeRedR51]

That car is going to sell for way more than it's worth. I messaged the guy telling him it's not a prototype, got no response. Which means he knows exactly what he's doing: taking advantage of people.

Is there a way to report misleading titles etc. to eBay? If so, then do so.

Yes, but it's a waste of time.

 

[Johnny1996]

Yes, but it's a waste of time.

With that being said, the best thing to do is not bid. I know that's obvious, but that's all I have to say at the moment.

Thank you captain obvious.

Doesn't mean I can't call the guy out for being an ass hat.

So glossy.

Anyone but a certain Red Bull Holden. Think we can agree on that. And nice work on the site. 👍

Tomica M-18 De Tomaso Pantera GTS:

Love it. 👍

Secured myself a wonderful 7SP '59 Impala. Should I uncard it, @Cano? Or the fluorescent Cobra for that matter?

Also, does anyone know which specific Packard model the Classic Packard is supposed to be?
