1/64 Model Collectors Thread

I quite like the red Camaro, but yet to have picked one up. TVR, I put it back on the peg again, because I like the car, but not the casting.

Viper a Wall mart exclusive or a main color?

 

[CodeRedR51]

P.S. I looked at some RLC Bluebirds & they've been fetching around $70 + shipping. I was hoping to purchase one for around $50 less, but now I'm thinking that's going to take a lot of luck.

Yeah, I can only imagine what the autographed ones will go for.

Some guy already listed one on eBay(preorder). I think he was asking $125?

P.S. I was just buying couple cars on TTP & saw this. You probably have it already, as it seems somewhat familiar....

Viper a Wall mart exclusive or a main color?

I think I got mine at Toys R Us with that color.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Haven't been to Toys R Us yet. Wonder if they have a C7, I'm still looking for one of those.

 

[a6m5]

They are bit hit & miss in my area. If you visit variety of stores, I doubt you'll have much trouble finding them. 👍

Pic courtesy of the Lamley group. "The Homer" is a part of batch F. As an old school Simpson's fan, Do want.

I hope you find a good buy on another Panel someday, if only to add the bike to the collection.

Definitely. 👍

[Johnny1996]

So here's my haul. Enjoy!

All of the HWs I got.

Majorette Alfa Romeo Giulietta.

Tomica Lancia Stratos Turbo.

Matchbox Ford RS200.

EDIT: Wait.... Double post? Yes, its a double post. Sorry. First part of DP edited, "Delete."

 

[a6m5]

I like the last three. 👍 What is the deal with this Homer car? Is it from the show or something? Coincidentally, I've been after some Simpsons cars lately, but I've failed on every single try.

Been getting the itch to open couple of the cars from the Garage 30-car set:

Hot Wheels Garage(from the 30 Set) Volkswagen Drag Bus + '70 Dodge Power Wagon




I so want the Retro Entertainment Dodge Power Wagon.

[CodeRedR51]

Lot of Datsun 510's on eBay went for almost $200.

@R1600Turbo
Black and flat gray Falcon race cars are multipack exclusives, right?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yes.

 

[Johnny1996]

Does anybody know of any 2012-2014 HW cars with removable surfboards? The 2013 Surf Crate casting (both variations) has a surfboard, but its not removable.

EDIT: Single car packs, not multipacks, please.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Lately? No. Cost-saving Mattel doesn't do that anymore. Your best bet is to get some early 2000's Deoria's off eBay.

 

[Cano]

Yes.

And so is the maroon/dark metallic brown G37, right?

 

[CodeRedR51]

And so is the maroon/dark metallic brown G37, right?

Yes. This is the black PR5, chrome lip?

 

[Cano]

eehh... PR5 = 5 star-like split spoke? If so, yes.

 

[CodeRedR51]

You call yourself a Hot Wheels collector?

Also, my new acquisition: (play set will go to my nephew)

 

[Cano]

Ugh I've never learned those generic ways of calling the wheels.

anyway, then today I scored a 10 pack with seven exclusives, lol.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Two Falcons together?

 

[Cano]

No, just the black one. Also a red Javelin, a dark metallic green Maverick, the said Maroon G37, the yellow Z06, the gold/scallops Riviera and the purple 64 Ranchero. And two fantasy cars that could or could not be exclusive which I don't care for. The only "normal" car was the green 70 Camaro that's heading on to Ahmed.

I asked about the grey Falcon because I saw it too. Along with a bad-ass candy apple red Cyclone.

 

[Spacegoat]

Yep.

Also digging that Power wagon. Very nice. 👍

 

[a6m5]

Yep.

Powell Motors...... Powell's a street name here(creator of Simpson's from Portland, Oregon). Thanks for the link!

Does anybody know of any 2012-2014 HW cars with removable surfboards?

2012 '62 Chevy. You'll have to disassemble the car at the very least.

Also, what a funny guy, @commodoreben, 20-pack Australian Edition.

Also also, how the hell do people get their hands on this kind of info:

 

[CodeRedR51]

Most of those have been shown through RLC previews (which leak through T-Hunted). I've known about most of them for a while.

Also, just learned that besides the Bluebirds that BRE sold with the signatures (that some of us purchased), there were also cars signed and randomly shipped out to people who purchased them through Mattel. Not sure if I'm ok with that. Will still be super rare though. I just thought we were getting something exclusive through BRE...

Keep in mind the versions sold through BRE are signed by John Morton and Peter Brock. I might have to try and get one of those John Morton signed versions though. He signed one of my Vintage Racing BRE's.
