1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Gotbeefboy564]

When should we expect G case cars in stores? Next week?

Edit: ^^^^

Note for everyone, someone on HWC that works at a Walmart distribution warehouse said they got G case dump bins in on Sunday, so keep an eye on your local Walmarts this week.

I didn't even know they had released another one, guess that's what I get for not checking HotWheelsCollectors.com the past few months.

You're not missing anything. Ever since HWC Van got muzzled from the higher ups, I stopped going there. Any decent news I can get here, lamley or a couple other sites. Without the whining.

Anyways, awesome cars. @DwightSchrute12's post had me looking at scale model car porn.

lol I do this from time to time, but usually manage to avoid purchases. Unless it's in person. So much harder to turn down in person.

They look nice, but anything special about them? Extra detail, or limited production?

Yes and yes? <10k run (can't find exact number though, and they aren't numbered), and metal base, the only metal base release for MB in 2013 apparently.

I have the Escort on display at work. I've seen the Supra & Eclipse, but they are just too frigging small for me. I prefer 1/64, but after that, at least 1/24, preferably 1/18. I just passed on the Supra & Eclipse again just half an hour ago. They do look sweet though, and as the fan of the first F&F, I definitely adore those cars!

Yeah I adore them too, especially the Escort.

I saw a thread title asking about HWC Van. That's too bad, but can't say I'm shocked.

Metal base is cool, and it really is a cool truck. I'm stretched too thin, or I'd have picked it up!

I mean, I can't say for sure that is the situation with him, but seems most likely knowing how things are running with the RLC club and backorders running longer than the runway from F&F6

Hey, might be available for awhile, don't know what demand is like. Maybe keep an eye on it and reconsider down the road if it's still there.

Anyone else getting ads on this page?

God, that runway.

So true. I saw "limited" & my mind shifted gear into coveted RLC car standards.

Really like the color on the China/Honk Kong Special edition. Wish they had a white one like my friend's.

Yeah, it's a nice colour. DMC have an exclusive version of it, which I was looking at but a) It's ugly & b) It's almost $17. You're friend's looks nice in White. 👍

I've been wanting that Chevy camper truck, but I'm glad now that I'm get one from my friend on my birthday.

Well that's good, I guess I can keep mine then.

Should state too that, these are also my first ever Greenlights. Very impressed with all of them, especially the C20. 👍

I may have to buy one now. I didn't realize how detailed it looked until I saw your pic! 👍

[Spacegoat]

Don't think they even sell Greenlight's down here do they? I've never seen any.

​

 

[a6m5]

Well.... unlike Medigo, at least you got like three of them & OBVIOUSLY(probably selfishly, too) not entertaining idea of gifting one of them to the needy.

​

In my area, I think Toys R Us is the only chain that carries Greenlight. I get most of mine online. They cost $6 in stores.

Who's needy? You? Dare say that 95% Greenlight's posted in this thread are yours.

............ Because I need'em!

 

[newuser2k9]

If it's the lime green one you speak of, yes. It's a 2014 multi-pack exclusive.

Good variant. I was also speaking about the grey 2014 C7 with chrome PR5s. I've only heard of the red/black 2014 Corvette.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Who are fans of Tyrell?

Well, that's Kyosho's latest 1:64 set:

Release date on April.

Didn't think the C7 was regarded as a Stingray, but okay, that just might be a future mainline release. You can save yourself some money if you wait it out.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Looks like the Mastretta, recolored C7, and recolored R34 will be part of the H case!

Also the Mini returns as well as the ZL1.

 

[yabiggoose]

OLAWD I want that mini!!!

 

[Sonygamer455]

Wow! They all look so good! Especially that Mini and that U.S.S. Vengeance.

That was quick!

This is good, because like the first edition SRT Viper, I couldn't find the C7 anywhere. I managed to get my hands on a few of the yellow SRT recolours, and the Stingray looks great in grey (too many red cars in my collection).

God damn Morris Mini! Wish you were never made! Hot air aside, here's some more free stuff for you guys:

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Can you make that black and blue 71 Challenger? Now they aren't working, the sesto elemento worked fine.

 

[AOS-]

Done. I hope you are able to upload an avatar this time!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I'm trying to copy and paste to Iphoto but it's not working, only one that did was the Lambo.

 

[AOS-]

"Save image as".. Use that!

Worked.

Hell yeah. Want. 👍

 

[MedigoFlame]

Some new Elite Transports:

 

[Johnny1996]

Wow are those Transports nice. I have two, both with a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X as the cars. I'll post those at some point.

 

[a6m5]

Only one I ever wanted was that yellow Scion xB taxi one. keep your opinion to yourself Cano! lol

P.S. Thanks Andy for more avatars!
