1/64 Model Collectors Thread

It won't.

It doesn't. Still cool because Beetle.

That just makes me wanna know how much money Mattel is saving by not casting the engine cover as a separate piece.

Should I open that Indy 500 camaro?

You're choice, but I can find a collector value for you.

EDIT: never mind the value, just open her up if you wish.

That casting hasn't had an opening hood in years...

Last time I paid attention to its engine cover was when it was in the line this particular version came in:



Haven't cared about the engine cover since until only recently.

My 2010 camaros, the Indy 500 one is in the middle.

Retake the picture but with the opened packages out of the shot. It breaks my heart.

Those are cool though. I'm curious, what's that yellow car behind the Camaros?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Yellow car is this.

Maisto boss mustang.

I like it. Looks a little more realistic than most Maistos from what I can see.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

It's metal but has a plastic bottom and wheels.

Doesn't make a difference to me.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

These are Maistos too.

Murcielago, 2 XJ220s, and a CLK GTR.

I think I have one of those Murcielagos. The other two I know I don't have.

But I do have this Monte Carlo:

Out of curiosity...has there been any news on the "Retro Entertainment" Koenigsegg from the Need For Speed movie? I thought there was something about it being released around the time of the movie.

Last time I heard anything about it was from you guys.

Three cars in the mail today:

Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunt Twin Mill(II?)


Hot Wheels Fast & Furious Dodge Challenger


Matchbox Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren


Opened few cars I've been meaning to:

Greenlight 2013 Chrysler 300 C


Hot Wheels Speed Machine Corvette C6R + 2010 Collector Edition(Mail in) Plymouth King Kuda

If you ever need someone to get rid of the white GTR with, message me!

That is so funny. First thing I saw when I came home today was the white GT-R my nephew left in my apartment. I was wet from the frigging rain dumping outside, but the sight of that cool little car, also the location he left it(right at the entry area table) made me smile.

Ew, HW Racing livery. I know you collect the casting but that livery is unbearable to me

Help me find the "Hate" button. I like that livery!

I don't know about you weirdos, but I'd pick a fictional HW livery over a ficitional goofy techno colour-freak scheme like this:

Are you telling me you'd rather see the 24/Seven look like that? With orange wheels?

While I'd never buy that car, it looks AMAZING in your pic. You are THE photography sensei. For sure. 👍

Went to Target today no new cars but I did get these.

Target from which year?

Wanna say that again?

Oh noes, here we go........

No sir.

Shucks, Johnny...... I was hoping for some epic battle here......

I'm happy to see that the Custom Beetle is back. One of my favourite castings.

Not mine, but this particular one I'd definitely like to have......

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

These were just on the pegs @a6m5. I have no idea how they got there.

2011 firebird.

10 camaro SS Indy pace car.
No I didn't go back in time to get them or got them off eBay.

 

[Johnny1996]

@a6m5: Man, its killing me seeing the T-Hunt, King Kuda and C6.R loose.

Oh noes, here we go........

Shucks, Johnny...... I was hoping for some epic battle here......

 

[a6m5]

Clearly you don't have the Retro Entertainment DeLorean. I WIN.

@a6m5: Man, its killing me seeing the T-Hunt, King Kuda and C6.R loose.

Twin Mill was purchased loose, C6R had shoddy card & King Kuda...... I'M KRAZY!!!!

I'm so disappointed!

Retro delorean as a hot wheels? No only one I have is the gold one.

Well...I suppose we may as well wait for any more news about it.

Awesome grabs! Almost tempted to pick up the 300C now that I just got a job with a detailing firm that works with the local Chrysler dealership. I have seen the Retro Entertainment Challenger SRT-8 at Walmart, but didn't bother picking it up. Also, jelly over the SLR. C6R looks great too! 👍

Call it a guilty pleasure.... Nice Eclipose. 👍

Gold one won't travel back in time, I've tried.

Thanks! 👍 300C is nice, but it was Kakahi-inspired purchase. boogytoo usually list tons of cool cars, so it was one of those combined purchases.

I passed on the Retro Entertainment Challenger, too. The Walmart(cheapie) version was a combined purchase from Tony, another recommended TTP seller.

That Volvo seems so familiar... I feel like I had one as a kid.

Firstly I thank you for the compliment.

Secondly, I grabbed a few cars off Boogytoo today. An email response says that's all the matchbox cars he has left. :/

tlewis ain't got much today either.

Well deserved man, they look amazing. 👍

I'm sure you figured it out by now. You gotta grab them as soon as they list them(similar to the Walmart stories in this thread lol).

Today, after I've been spending way too much money on hot wheels as is, this one seller lists bunch of loose Greenlight cars, couple of them I've wanted for looong time. I ended up ordering seven, now I nervously wait for the invoice with combined shipping.

P.S. Which cool cars did you order from Neil? Also, will he ship to Canada? Few weeks back, I noticed that his 'logo' indicated he shipped internationally. Maybe yesterday, I noticed it had changed to the logo which indicated domestic shipping only.

 

[AOS-]

I grabbed myself another 2 Matchbox cars I've never seen out on ebay ever. He ships international. It was either the globe icon or it was indicated in his listings. Some sellers put on the US flag the indicate the shipping price you see is domestic shipping. I already knew that part from experience which is why I always disregard that number and only look for the word "international" in the body of text.

 

[a6m5]

I see, I didn't know some sellers did that. 👍

 

[AOS-]

They do that as a counter-measure to international-based dimwits and scum who try to argue that was the advertised shipping price for them. I've seen plenty of listings that make this highly probable that I'd conclude it at that.

However, now that someone finally went and implemented those little icons, I just skip right over US-only sellers to spare me the trouble. Unless it's something I really need and they're the only one who has it, I won't hesitate to ask for international shipping.

 

[a6m5]

See, now you know why I don't take a whole lot of chances with international shipping.



That Twin Mill $TH I posted earlier was purchased from Tony on TTP for $12....... I thought that was a pretty decent deal.

I didn't really like it much, so I decided to list it on eBay? They can be had for less than ten bucks, thanks to those thieving bastards from Malaysia. Well, that sucks.

 

[Spacegoat]

Not mine, but this particular one I'd definitely like to have......

Yeah, looks real slick, love the Moon eyes livery.👍 And that King Kuda. Awesome.
