1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Also from the AmiAmi page:

They both have one other color available for preorder. How do you like them apples?

Edit: God, I'm gonna pass again, but these bimmers are just so cool. To me, Kyoshos are accurately detailed, but they lack these hot wheel/tomica-toy car-look to them.

Edit2: If I was ordering one car out of those preorders, it'd be this:

It's from a cop show from my childhood(1920's?). I already have the Japanese police version of this casting, but damn, this one is just cool. *goes back to preorder afterall*

[green] Yeah. Only thing that bugs me is that it has this cheap generic look to it. If the edges were a bit more tight, I probably would only slam the thing and call it a day. [/green]

I do agree about the cheap looks to them. I like it for what it is(again, Superfast thing). 👍

but they lack these hot wheel/tomica-toy car-look to them.

That's not a bad thing.

 

[a6m5]

That's not a bad thing.

I like them all(even the Choro Q/Penny Racer style), but I guess I'm more partial to TLV style?

P.S. I ended up preordering the Datsun-looking concept anyway, just so I can combine shipping with this preorder(both late-June):

Only J-Money has this car so far......

 

[commodoreben]

I'll work with you, let me know. No offers so far on eBay.

Just checked my finances and I would be able to pay for it on Monday if that would suit you pm me and we can organise the details.

Tomica SRT Viper GTS (release date: April)

Dear God those slot mags I really need to get me some money and order some stuff off Ami Ami. This will be there no question. If I still find any.

EDIT: Oh and that tomica Viper is horrible

I think you've been meaning to say you gravitate towards "scale models" more than "toy cars", and that's perfectly fine. A man who appreciates fine detail would most certainly head this direction. Some of us gravitate towards Hot Wheels & Matchbox for the "cheap & cool" factor (also accessibility and collectable colours). Fantasy castings come to mind!

(1920's?).

Beat me to it.

Awesome.

Actually mine one, as you can see is a different model.

It's so cute!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I want that 500.

 

[AOS-]

Crap. Someone give me a reason not to collect the Fiat.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

It's not a Abarth. Is that 500 out yet?

 

[CodeRedR51]

It's not a Abarth. Is that 500 out yet?

G case. Late Feb, early March.

And yes, I will be collecting that one.

NEW ADDITIONS TO MY COLLECTION

 

[CodeRedR51]

Resize! My netbook almost choked.

 

[Spacegoat]

Crap. Someone give me a reason not to collect the Fiat.

Nope, can't think of one.

 

[AOS-]

Damn. Impulse says to get it.

I already put a stop sign to the Morris Mini. Perhaps I should count out the wacky colours that may come in the future? I'll think about it some more. This hobby is somewhat an addiction for me, no lies.


Anyway, I'm in the middle of negotiating with a buyer on TTP to get a bulk discount on his $2 basic loose Johnny Lightnings. Right now he's offering free shipping if I grab like 40-50 (obviously I can't reach that level myself), so I'm putting it out there if anyone wants to help.

As of now, Canadian to International shipping ain't cheap. If I didn't misinterpret his email, he'll even offer 25 cents off each car on top of free shipping. If I did misinterpret it, he's gonna sell me each car I get for 25 cents. From your point of view, you can balance out shipping fees unusually high with a lot of goodies for extremely low prices.

I haven't solidified any deals, but call this an interest check for anyone who wants to helps me get free shipping and more than a handful of JLs for a low price.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Perhaps just thumbnails next time. ..
Must adjust to new camera and (to me) site

You can manually resize it to 800px or something. It makes them easier on your computer when documenting the collection.

Don't matter I guess, I like them all. Currently, I prefer TLV styling over Kyosho's 100% realism, that's all.

Dear God those slot mags

It really adds to the casting. 👍

WTF Jarrod, not that one. This one.

Damn. Impulse says to get it.

 

[AOS-]

WTF

Alright then. It's decided. I'm gonna pass on goofy colours or at least change the wheels.

 

[a6m5]

That's actually Piazza, but the American name was Impulse, so I figured it was close enough.

 

[Spacegoat]

WTF Jarrod, not that one. This one.

Well that's rather embarrassing. How on earth did I get that confused with a Nissan? God damn, I want one even more now.

 

[a6m5]

I have some shopping to do tomorrow, so I will try hitting the K-Mart Collector Event tomorrow. I'll try to get some cars for @commodoreben , too.

Well that's rather embarrassing. How on earth did I get that confused with a Nissan? God damn, I want one even more now.

I think it's time you free that little Isuzu to a home that'll really appreciate it. Send it to me. Most Isuzu ever on this page.

 

[AOS-]

Nani! What happened to No International?

 

[a6m5]

Nani! What happened to No International?

I've shipped to Ben couple of times. He's the exception, because he buys loads!

@AOS- boogytoo seems to be listing bunch of Shelby stuff right now.

 

[Spacegoat]

No, because you'll only end putting it on e-Bay with some ludicrous asking price.

 

[a6m5]

Nah. She's a keeper:

I can't wait until mine arrives. In July(late June to Japan).

 

[Spacegoat]

Absolutely adore the Bellet in that orange. Beautiful. Still very ashamed that I got it confused with something else.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Love the Bellet! 👍

Far from a morning person, but considering how many times I've missed out on the indoor flea market (of another town) that has...hours of 8-3PM and often has vendors packing up by 12PM. Plus only being open on the weekends. I finally decided to get up early and go!

Picked these all up for $2! The vendor had a sticker on a box of loose cars stating that it was 25 cents each and the Golf in the card says $1.50. However, the vendor had paper bags and allowed me to just stick the loose cars in them as I pleased. He glanced at the bag and said "Eh, let's make that two dollars."
