1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Gotbeefboy564]

Anyone here have a 2004 first editions? Maserati Quattroporte? Might ask to get that from eBay when my birthday comes in October.

Well to further that, that's what happens when I send you guys money. I just sent someone else money in CAD rather than the usual USD and there was no fee on either side. I guess it maybe a currency exchange/withdrawing from bank account fee.

@Gotbeefboy564, I'm not one to tell people what to do with their money, but you can totally aim for something bigger than a single hot wheels on eBay as a birthday gift. I mean, come on, "can I get a maserati hot wheels off eBay for my birthday?" sounds pretty weak, dude. Get like a collector item or something that's valuable and hard to find. That's a much more memorable gift imo. Or get yourself a tote or a carrying case to store the cars with; something a little more purposeful.

Might look out for the Ferrari 250 GTO and Lancia Stratos too, I don't want to go to crazy money wise. Got my iPhone for my 21st b day.
My hot wheels F40s.

Boulevard one is on the left. Right is from the 5 pack.

Wow all this time I thought you were under 18. Anybody else?

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I use to have a hotwheels F40 that was white before I colored it with a marker when I was little.

Going to be 22 this October. Welcome to the thread @RandomCarGuy17.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Thank you and I'm 19.

Hmmm, I guess I might share some of my own hotwheels/matchbox cars since I'm joining the thread. I've built up quite a collection over the years.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Loving this white on this 612.

 

[VXR]

Hit up my usual sources of Hot Wheels and neither had any. :-(

I really, really want the Red Daytona and Celica.

 

[Cano]

Well either way he hasn't sent yet so now he has to wait until I can get to them on Saturday, if they are still there.

Yeah, zero. Freaking Paypal didn't work for me for the entirety of the day. I hope I can send it out today. I know there are funds in the bank account, I checked yesterday. so I don't have an idea of why Paypal cannot see them.

 

[Johnny1996]

Well, I might as well. I'm only 17. Which means next birthday, here come the adult papers. Makes me feel old saying that.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Stopped by TRU and picked up these two.

Is the Fiat 500 really that desirable? I'm quite surprised at how hard it is to find. Is it due to the popularity of the real car or something? Feels like any other collectable VW out there.

New acquisitions today from Walmart:

From left to right top row: Chevy Silverado, Sandblaster, Circle Tracker
From left to right bottom row: 2001 Mini Cooper, La Fasta, Ford Shelby GR-1 (all from the pillow packs)

I bought this car AGAIN(first one went to Ben's):

Auto World Callaway Corvette




Greenlight Black Bandit Shelby GT500


Greenlight AMC Javelin AMX Mark Donahue


Hot Wheels Retro Entertainment Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth W900


Wasn't planning on buying the Kenworth, but it came up cheap, so I jumped on it. Greenlight Javelin. Finally.....

Wow all this time I thought you were under 18. Anybody else?

No comment.

Makes me feel old saying that.

I want to slap you right now......

Then again, I used to say crap like that when I was young, too.

Hit up my usual sources of Hot Wheels and neither had any. :-(

I really, really want the Red Daytona and Celica.

Celica is so cool. Hot Wheel Daytona don't do nothing for me.

New acquisitions today from Walmart:

I kinda wish I picked up the Sandblaster now. I refrained because it was mainline, but I actually like this one.....

 

[Johnny1996]

Nice cars, but that Corvette though!

 

[mustang fanatic]

I like them all.

 

[a6m5]

Nice cars, but that Corvette though!

Yeah, I first bought it in silver, but I wasn't all that impressed & was gonna return it. Ben wanted me to just send it to him, so I did.... then I came across detailed pics of it online, then the actual car dirt cheap on TTP for three bucks, which is like 60% off the MSRP(sorry Ben ).

Not a fan of newer GM cars, but Corvettes are cool. 👍

 

[Johnny1996]

I just now noticed that the Corvette was a Callaway, and not the Corvette GT1 Championship Edition.

But that doesn't change a thing.

Corvettes are cool. 👍

Damn right.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Tomica Lotus Exige R-GT:

That thing arrived from the store yesterday, and good thing that place is within my reach...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Checked all stores here, no Fiats. To eBay I go.

@Cano - x2 Ghias x2 Buicks = $5.00 you owe me.

^ I take back everything positive I said about that Exige.

Is the Fiat 500 really that desirable? I'm quite surprised at how hard it is to find. Is it due to the popularity of the real car or something? Feels like any other collectable VW out there.

Bet you it got too much hype.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Bet you it got too much hype.

Considering the growing popularity of Fiat 500 owners in the US. I would assume so...

Hype within the collector community I meant. you can probably bet a majority of those owners don't collect.

 

[Johnny1996]

I have a feeling that the Fiat will be like the Honda Civic EF for me. In three months, after it originally hits the pegs, I'll find a lot of them in the same store. I also feel the same about the Fastbed Hauler.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I was lucky to find a fast bed hauler at a Toys R Us a few months ago. That little 🤬 was hard to find.

 

[Johnny1996]

I've not seen one. Part of that might have been my fault when I was at Walmart the other night and just did a quick scan of the dump bin they had. I did an unusually small amount of digging when normally I go through every centimeter of one.

 

[a6m5]

I like the design behind that casting, but not in execution. Too plasticky. If they ever do a premium version with metal/metal, I may be interested in one down the line.

I opened this one, too:

Tomica Lotus Exige R-GT:

That "like" was for the beautiful photography. I second Andy on the casting. sorry

 

[Johnny1996]

The KW is darn cool. But Peterbilt is where I start to throw an open minded opinion out the window.

As for the Exige, the rally light looking things are kinda weird, but other than that, I like it.

Thanks a lot, pal. I'll send you $6 right away.

EDIT: Sent. Confirm?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

The wheels are what's throwing me off that Exige.
