1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[commodoreben]

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.

Always glad to help thin out your collection

Are the KMart cars in? I'm gonna try and go to my Kmart and see if they are.

Collectors day was this morning. So yes.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I doubt my kmart will have them after what I saw when I got the VW karman giha.

Depends on the store but there are always tons of extras. Never hurts to look.

I went to K-Mart this morning. Everyone who showed up got to go thru a brand new box. 👍 There were plenty of the four K-Mart exclusive cars(blue Datsun 620, white M3, brown Sandblaster, purple Falcon XB), but on the downside, just one Homer(sorry Ben) & no Falken Supra(sorry me & Ben) & no Treasure Hunts.

















I know what you are thinking. You see those blue Datsuns & are thinking "that a6m5, what an 🤬" At the event I was at, either the demand was low, or they oversupplied this little truck. This could either work out in favor of @Gotbeefboy564 or against him. Maybe his K-Mart will have plenty. Maybe they wont' have any, because they all came to Oregon. There were so many of them still left behind!

@commodoreben - These I got for you: 2 of Chevelles, 2000GT, Falcon XB, BMW M3. 1 of LaFerrari, Sandblaster & Scion FR-S. Viper's from the other day, I'll get you another one. Let me know how many of those cars you actually want & also how many blue Datsuns. Again, sorry I let you down on the Homer.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I'll be on the lookout for the Homer, M3, and the Datsun.

 

[CodeRedR51]

The Datsuns here were all snatched up, none left over. Only homer I saw was the one I grabbed. Not sure how many Supers were found. Both my Dad and I got a TH loop coupe in our boxes but we left them both.

 

[a6m5]

I didn't see anyone talking about Treasure Hunts, but I just discovered that Loop Coupe was a TH. Nobody grabbed it at the one I was at either. As far as I could tell, all four exclusives were plenty available & left over. This grabber blue would look so cool with a wheel swap!

I was in Portland, so I also checked out the 2 Walmart stores & couple other stores. I found exactly one more car:



I'm happy I was able to find one more of these, because I wanted one to open, but four stores + K-Mart toy section & I find total of one car I want. I did also see red FR-S I almost grabbed, but come on......

@R1600Turbo Did you find any Datsuns for yourself?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Grabbed one for me and two for Cano.

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."

Great grabs. That Matchbox MGA in the back already makes that haul a major steal. It is quite scarce.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Went to my first Kmart collectors day, they had tubs of F case cars plus the collectors cars, there were no THs that I saw

Sandblaster


M3, they had a few of these.


Datsun, I almost missed this.

Non Collector day cars
07 Mustangs




Went to Meijer and got these.

Charger and 69 Mustang

Went to a grocery store to recycle some pop cans got these there

DBS and a 65 mustang


Got this Celica at Walmart.

 

[CodeRedR51]

No, you don't call it going to a collectors day unless you are there at 9am when you get to open fresh boxes. Going afterwords is just going to Kmart.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Hey, at least i got the collector cars, I wanna guess that all the cases were opened by the time I got there. I forgot that it started at 9am.

 

[AOS-]

Charger and 69 Mustang.

I don't know if its the photo, but that '69 Mustang looks like it's missing the white rim on the back wheels. If so, you know what that means!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

There is a white lip on the rear rim.
Just found out that the DBS I bought is an error.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Speaking of errors.

 

[AOS-]

Hah. That's what I meant to say..

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just found out that the Homer I grabbed for Cano is an error too, has all small wheels.

 

[a6m5]

That whole car looks like an error.

 

[Cano]

Grabbed one for me and two for Cano.

<3<3<3<3!!!

EDIT:

That whole car looks like an error.

omg I laughed hard at this haha

 

[Andrew R]

I need the Homer.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Didn't see any when I went to my Kmart. It's a regular release right?

Yes.

Here's the one I got. Now comparing it to the one pictured above, I think it might not be an error.

 

[Cano]

It looks like the one in A6's pic :0 maybe both are erors

 

[Andrew R]

I just dug out some I managed to refrain from opening as a child. Anything of interest?

Curious to see what the middle one on the left column (yellow markings) and the aussie ones on the right are.

 

[Cano]

I'd gladly rock that Matchbox yellow 34 Ford :0

Excellent stuff mate. Especially the Biante's and the Matchbox Commodore. 👍
