1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[CodeRedR51]

You're basically paying extra for a box with a brand name.


I could get a similar one for half the price.


Off-topic.... I could get the TLV Nismo iDX when I go to Japan this August. By that time, it has been released and available in pegs.

Got that link again?

Is that a "special" dealer edition? ...i think things like that are rip offs

Yep, it's a special dealer edition. They also released a Tomica casting of a GT500 R35 GT-R with Motul livery.

For 28 USD in Daboxtoys...

I could've got that Motul R35 for around $8 that comes with Lego rip-off figures and a few other stupid little accessories.

The point of this post: Don't buy it from DaBoxToys.

That annoys me. Not only because of the casting...but just the price in general.. infact, the Kyosho Motul R35 was cheaper...

On to another topic:

The latest batch of Kyosho 1:64 "Suzuka Legend" F1 models is out.

I knew that Hot Bird was special but I had no idea it was as special as your CIPSA. I nearly brought a lot of 200+ cars a couple of years ago to get a brown Hot Bird but I was sniped. The lot of cars that this Hot Bird came in only cost me $9 AUS plus postage.

You missinterpreted my comment by a few thousand units a brown Hot Bird will never be as rare as a CIPSA, but it is indeed a great piece, that is why I said it was the most signifcant car to be posted here since my CIPSA, but far from being as rare or as valuable. Still a great car and a freaking steal at that price, and with great extra cars to boot!

Only two bins and they were both picked through. Not a Fiat to be found. I hear the Walmart Neighborhood Market's are getting bins too, so look there as well.

Neighborhood Market? Never heard of that. We only have a Super Center here, although I suppose I could take the half hour drive to another town if I really wanted.

Also...

It's like a smaller version of Walmart, with mostly a grocery store vibe. Not sure if there are any in your area, they are all over here.

My work appears to have stopped stocking Hot Wheels again. A shame as there was a solitary 458 in black with a stripe. Was hoping to get some new 2014s.

Your 2000 GT-X Then and Now wish has come true, whoever you guys were.

Here's a nice pic of it on the card. Pretty sure it's a must have for most of us.

Future collecting, investing, and customizing are what's on my spur-of-the-moment to-do list for that car. First collecting, as always.

These two took over 3 weeks to arrive. Also, 100% Celica came with the blister partially open. Not all sellers are equal.



Hot Wheels K-Mart Mail-in '55 Chevy Panel




Hot Wheels 100% Toyota Celica


Also, some random cheap, but neat cars:

Johnny Lightning Oldsmobile 442 Hurst Pace Car

I've been to just one(brand new). No hot wheels.

Here's a nice pic of it on the card.

God, what is up with the color. I also think FTE wheels would have improved its looks[/MRPICKY]

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I have the maroon version of that hot wheels airplane.

 

[Johnny1996]

Dat Celica.

And Dat 442 Pace Car.

Third "" here for emphasis.

 

[a6m5]

I like the '55 Chevy Panel. I just had to have this one, too(I think it's my fifth or sixth). Airplane is neat. Reminds me of WWII Navy plane due to the color. 👍

So happy to finally find the Supra and Porsche in store here in Australia. Only got the Uhura car because I've not seen a Wagoneer Hot Wheels before.

Plus it's got real riders lol

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Ugh I want that green Huarya.

 

[Johnny1996]

Ugh I want that green Huarya.

Same.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I have the silver and red one hopefully the my keep making that model. Kinda wished they made a Zonda.

 

[yabiggoose]

For once this aussie found something decent hey, haha.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Should I open these?

Didn't open these when I bought them.

 

[a6m5]

I wouldn't know.

For once this aussie found something decent hey, haha.

We do like the cars you post. 👍

@commodoreben - You may not need the Supra, eh? I do have one set aside for you, but I get the feeling that it won't be that elusive once it starts circulating. Also that GT2 Porsche.

If you don't mind losing a bit of money should you decide to sell the cars, go ahead.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Meh. I saw that they were only a few bucks on the website.

Been routinely checking 3 Walmarts for G case dump bins lately. One of them got theirs in, cleaned out of Fiats and Zamacs. Other two stores are behind the times I guess, still no bins. 👎

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Finally found a Fast Bed Hauler. Been looking forever for that. I'll post the pic when I get home.

 

[Johnny1996]

I'm looking for a flat black Honda Civic Boulevard car. The one I have now has a couple of splits on the blister. The ups and downs of collecting. I'm going to try to find one tonight if I go somewhere.

I'm pretty sure you guys know which one I'm talking about, but I'm going to look for a picture.

EDIT:

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Got these today.

More cool classics

Fast bed hauler, and new matchbox DBS

Please excuse my ignorance towards the subject of collecting cars, but what do you mean when you refer to a "g case" car? And I picked these up today:
