1/64 Model Collectors Thread

There two versions of that, one has rubber tires the other is mine that has plastic tires. The rubber one is more expensive. Saw it on std.

You really had to go to STD in order to figure out that the rubber-tired cars are more expensive? Amazing.

What you need to know is this: white-wheel Real Rider cars are much more rarer and expensive than grey-wheel Real Rider cars.

Picked these up today from Dollar General, which had amazingly restocked the Hot Wheels/Matchbox section :

oh come on, it's only 19 pics. It's not like when I posted about 40 cars with two pictures for each of them a couple years ago.

If I click on a page that has ~10 photos it takes forever to load.

You should get a computer. All the kids have one these days.

I have a tablet and a netbook, what I don't have is internet in my new apartment yet. Don't have the money at the moment because rent, car, food, gas, insurance, paying back my Aunt for parts for my car, etc. I might have the money this week, we'll see.

 

[commodoreben]

Ill post the pics when I get home from work this afternoon. Sorry if your phone explodes Jason.

I'm on my way home with four Hot Wheels and a Corvette from @a6m5's favorite 1:64 car maker. I also have some Tamiya Clear Red paint for my customs and a 1:43 car, the latter will be posted in the scale model thread.

I don't know if I'll have time to post them, however.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Well, after a year of searching, I finally got my hands on that blasted Rigor Motor! I was able to convince my mother to order it off of Ebay on her account (I have to get permission for stuff like this) for me after a bit of negotiating and now it has finally arrived!



My search isn't over though, I still plan on finishing what I started over a year ago with my "Crazy Idea" but like any vehicle I get for customizing, I am going to wait until I get a second one before I do what I have been planning to do for so long. Going to be watching Ebay like hawk until I see another within a reasonable price and then once I get it, that will finally end my long search.

 

[Johnny1996]

Pictures!

T-Bird Stock Car and a Cadillac LMP. I'm debating on customizing the LMP since there's a Mystery Models one with the same wheels. The Stock Car will be customized.



Morris Wagon and a '65 Corvette. The Morris doesn't have any blister damage this time.



Greenlight Corvette Z06. I might already have this one, but I need to pull out my bucket of other Greenlights first to know.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Got myself an OH5 wheel variation, and a black/chrome MC5 wheel variation on the way for the Red RX-7. Gonna borrow a pic from Cano:

I learned it when I shopped for Bronco. I wanted white, was only willing to pay for the gray.

Picked these up today from Dollar General, which had amazingly restocked the Hot Wheels/Matchbox section :

Just swung by my Dollar Tree, they haven't had hot wheels in months. Just that Maisto crap.

I forgive them, because they hooked me up with Matchbox Seagraves & Dodge A100s last time around.

rent, car, food, gas, insurance, paying back my Aunt for parts for my car, etc.

That'll keep you out of trouble! No drugs for you, good for you!

Ill post the pics when I get home from work this afternoon. Sorry if your phone explodes Jason.

That's OK, because we'd all like to see that.

You got lucky today, mate. I swung by Toys R Us, picked up the Greenlight set, they still even had the Chrysler 300 SRT.... Should be $35 for the set + $6 for the set, right? They rang up at $33.98, because the 10 police car set was on clearance, which took additional percentage off. Lucky dawg!!!

WARNING: If I tell you that I lost your 300 SRT, just know that I'm probably lying. It. Is. NICE. and I'm not even a 300, or Chrysler fan.

Went to my grandmas house

Wow, props to you for going to your grandma's, just to get the bus. I couldn't do that, I'd have to die first to get there(good thing my grandpa handed me some of the cars before he passed away 👍).

I'm on my way home with four Hot Wheels and a Corvette from @a6m5's favorite 1:64 car maker.

Oh, is it that Hot Green Tamisho Tomilightning Auto World M2 Box? Because that'll be my favorite.

Greenlight Corvette Z06.

Greenlight must be my current fave..... you'll find out soon enough, maybe tonight. Though I'm into Tomica Limited Vintage just as much, if not more....... BUT THEY ARE SPENDY!

Well, after a year of searching, I finally got my hands on that blasted Rigor Motor! I was able to convince my mother to order it off of Ebay on her account (I have to get permission for stuff like this) for me after a bit of negotiating and now it has finally arrived!

Congrats! While I'm SO glad for you right now, too bad you didn't live in Portland, because that Boulevard casing either holds record, or runner-up to the longest running peg warmer, ever. Seriously, congrats. :tup:

 

[Johnny1996]

I don't have the time now, but tomorrow, time bearing, I'll post my other Greenlights.

 

[Spacegoat]

Ill post the pics when I get home from work this afternoon.

Nice, looking forward to it . 👍

Sorry if your phone explodes Jason.

 

[a6m5]

OK, set of Hot Wheels I received today:

Hot Wheels Mobil Oil/Mobilgas '58 Chevy Apache Pickup Truck


1929 Ford COE



I actually got the set for these two, especially.

Hot Wheels Mobil Oil/Mobilgas Rocket Oil



Watson Roadster

I don't have the time now, but tomorrow, time bearing, I'll post my other Greenlights.

I can't wait!

 

[mustang fanatic]

The livery on those is sweet! 👍

 

[Spacegoat]

My god those are so awesome. 👍 Freakin love that roadster. Curse you Shinji.

 

[a6m5]

Thanks guys.

Yeah, that Vintage theme on the cars really sold them to me. I've been interested in Rocket Oil for sometime now, but this is the first one, considering the price, I wanted NAO!(where is that Vspec boy these days? lol).

Edit:

My Greenlight cars. Literally 90% police cars.

Oregon State Police Ford Crown Vic


Florida State Trooper Crown Vic


Westwood Police Ford Galaxie


Waterford Police '81 Chevrolet Corvette

[mustang fanatic]

I really like the Galaxie, and the Explorer. The van is really cool too. :tup:

 

[a6m5]

I like the van, too. Those modern styled wheels actually ties things up nicely.

 

[yabiggoose]

@a6m5

You know how to make me jealous! I found a store here with a few (almost literal) Greenlights.

Movie related ones though, wanted the crown vic cop car but it's the Twilight one :/

 

[a6m5]

I just saw sneaks from some kind of convention, and they had Dom's Charger from Retro Entertainment. Also big news....... They have delayed the Red Line Club Gulf VW Drag Bus again! It was due to ship this Wednesday, now it's going to be in June. I am speechless.

Movie related ones though, wanted the crown vic cop car but it's the Twilight one :/

I don't think I've ever seen that one!

 

[Cano]

OK, set of Hot Wheels I received today:

Hot Wheels Mobil Oil/Mobilgas

Oh go to hell, you. I've wanted the Ford COE since forever. How much? That set is expensive.

 

[Spacegoat]

I like the van, too. Those modern styled wheels actually ties things up nicely.

Yeah I really like those wheels on the van, looks great. And the Oregon police crown vic, I seem to recall you've been after that one for a while. So congrats on that. 👍

@commodoreben Fantastic. 👍 All cars made it there without shipping damage? Great pics!

Oh go to hell, you. I've wanted the Ford COE since forever. How much? That set is expensive.

I have the Coke COE, too. This Mobil Oil set was about $51(shipped).

I read somewhere that these were mail-in's.............. What mail-in? I never read/heard anything about it!?

And the Oregon police crown vic, I seem to recall you've been after that one for a while. So congrats on that. 👍

Thanks! I looked for Looooong time. They generally go for $9+, and I just didn't think they were worth that. One I got was $3.50. 👍

Edit - @Cano: So I ordered Tomica Limited Vintage stuff from Plamoya on Saturday....... Still no shipping confirmation from them on a in-stock(supposedly) item. I backordered something from AmiAmi for the first time last week(another TLV-Neo), backorder release date of 'Late-August'....... I just got the email that they are already in. So far, AmiAmi is the Champ in my book.

 

[Cano]

Here are the cars from the box.

Holy 🤬 That's some nice loot in there. I bet @a6m5 already got drunk with all that money. Geez.

This Mobil Oil set was about $51(shipped).

I read somewhere that these were mail-in's.............. What mail-in? I never read/heard anything about it!?

That is actually a great price. I would have, too. And also no idea they were mail-ins, I just want the COE dammit.

Nice to hear. But it'll be a while before I order anything from there since unavoidable doom for my wallet has come: Wal Mart has started selling M2 here in Mexico. I blew $60 in cars yesterday. $60. There goes the HPI 787B I was eyeing.

 

[mustang fanatic]

@commodoreben you have some REALLY nice cars there. 👍 I really like the Autoworld GT40 and the Johnny Lightning Mustangs and Torinos.
