1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[commodoreben]

Awesome. 👍 I'll check Toys R Us again this week, but I'd be surprised if they have anything different. If you are still interested in anything I may have for sale, I'd take some pics next couple of days. If not, I'll start looking for a shipping box!

I am interested in them but I probably shouldn't buy any more but that depends on what they are.

Think it might be a old boulevard then.

No worries, Ben. Go ahead & start packing up the cars?

Not a wheel swap. The black and white next to the red Mach 1 is a GreenLight.













The GreenLight's very well done, apart from the very cheap-looking wheels.

Another good-looker from HW:









This one is a Vintage racing:




Here's a Mustang from Maisto (same level):




And another from Maisto:





And a couple of Jadas on the same level to round off the competition:

Edit: Okay! Found another pic of that mystery Mustang; it's from the Hotwheels Garage series. (Where else? )

@Cano want this? No sign of your wagons today.

Start packing them up thanks.

 

[a6m5]

Awesome pics @photonrider 👍 I agree with you on the Greenlight wheels. Rest of the car's a 'ten'. I'm not sure what they were thinking there. Actually, I know($$$).

Start packing them up thanks.

I forgot about the two blue Vipers, which adds $2(now $48 + shipping). I'll box them up tomorrow.

It really is. 👍 What series is that from?

Thanks a lot man but that one is already in the bag. Still, keep an eye out for the Auto Worlds for me please (: you didn't see the GT40 by any chance? :0

 

[R5]

Ah. Turns out the 'Stretta was a Quick N Sik.

Damn.

 

[Johnny1996]

I'm now looking for four Pop Culture series cars. Two Popeye trucks and two Looney Tunes Broncos. Why two of each? Well let's just say that two of them will stay how they are after pulling them off the pegs. I might get out somewhere today to look for them, but its too early to tell.

@photonrider: That green Camaro is epic!

The Don Prudhomme Cuda is also epic!

Negative.

I'm finally taking a closer look at some of the cars I got in the bags I got at the thrift store, and I found this very unique Majorette car. It looks like there's some kind of electronics in place of where the interior would be. I'd like some help on getting as much information on this car as I can from you guys. Thanks in advance.

 

[commodoreben]

I believe the electronics in the Majorette Police and ment to make the lights flash or turn on when the car is either pushed down or pushed along. I cant remember which one it is. I used to have a Ford Escort Police Car that did the same thing.

Greenlight's Black Bandit series is getting the SRT8 300C!

And my favorite generation of the Bronco:

 

[mustang fanatic]

That Bronco is awesome.

 

[a6m5]

I did see them for sale online, but I much prefer the stock version on both.

 

[Johnny1996]

I didn't get any cars today, but that's a small price to pay for what was in place of car hunting.

@commodoreben: Thanks for the help.

@MedigoFlame: Those are cool as heck.

I picked that one up about a week ago. It's not too bad for a standard TH.

 

[Spacegoat]

And my favorite generation of the Bronco:

The Bronco looks good, really good actually.

 

[Cano]

Negative.

Crosh ): well, if you ever see it, please pick it up. If I find it before I'll be sure to let you know 👍

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Saw that but passed, it was at the hobby shop where I got my 500 and bat mobiles.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Might have another rare variation on the way soon. Negotiations ongoing.

I don't think Harry does wheel-swaps & he did say he had it for long time + yours don't have the pin stripe.

I used to @a6m5 - in the bad old days when I used to hang out with the likes of Dr Nessy and M-Power, and so on in the early days of the Customising thread. In fact I have many 'How to' posts in there like these two on drilling, and types of paint and primer:

Lot's of my wheel swap photos are in there, too, but I haven't had much time lately (prioritizing) to get into it. My box of customising stuff is huge - and thoroughly neglected.

Yeah those wheels are super fast. I haven't seen that Fiesta though. Nice one!

Do you race, too? What kind of tracks do you have?
I raced the Fiesta in its own class - the Bone Shaker won. The Bone Shaker has oversize wheels so it was actually in a modified class - as well when I opened the Bone Shaker package I found the wheel axles to be oiled; HW was cheating! (I detailed all this in a post in here about two years ago when I opened the Bone Shaker.
Also posted shots of my drag strip - buried in this thread maybe two summers ago.)

These HWTF cars have nickle-plated axles and the all-acetal wheels are deadly - low friction and less resistance; I think right now they may be the fastest 1:64 racing wheels.
Ugly, but does the job for sure. The whole design, as well as the material they are using is very intriguing.
Rubber-wheeled cars race in their own class because they are really slow in comparison.
I remember a race where the gate was lifted and the HW Vintage racing car took off (at about 60 inches per minute) and the Maisto Vega just sat there - gravity wasn't enough to pull it down the track.
With the HWTFs you can measure the incline on a pool table, it's that sensitive.

Ha not like anything serious, just sometimes run cars down my tracks from when I was younger, just for fun.

Yup, J case.👍

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Haven't seen the Veneno yet.

Tempted...what do you want for it?

Also...I don't know if I'm late to the party on this but for those concerned about the Fiat 500. It's back in white!
