1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[a6m5]

Hello.
Not sure if it falls under the category, but I do a bit of airbrushing and model building.
Will try to upload few pics but in the meantime you can have a look at my gallery on FB.

Likely, it needs to go to: 1/24 plastic kits or Scale Model

Custom Hot Wheels go here, but of course, that's 1/64 scale.

Take your pick, I guess.

Thanks a6m5.

Thanks a6m5.

Anytime bro. 👍

 

[Clocktower]

I received my very first Johnny Lightning today!

I love this car! 👍
(Bad pic taken in a hurry)

 

[a6m5]

Never seen that one before. Not surprising I guess considering how long they were around for. Love the vintage/throwback vibe of this car. 👍

P.S. Good news! I got my shipment in today(+ one CM's!), so you guys won't have to hear me whine about USPS anymore.

 

[Johnny1996]

Awesome Mustang F/C @Clocktower. 👍

@a6m5: 3 words letters: UPS.

 

[CodeRedR51]

@a6m5: 3 words letters: UPS.

One word: Expensive.

 

[a6m5]

That's just it though. Love UPS, but nobody uses them to ship hot wheels, and the cost is the biggest reason of all.

Here is what I have so far:



Tomica Limited Vintage Neo Nissan Fairlady Z 2by2




CM's Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 6.5 2001 Monte Carlo


Pics are work in progress right now. Next batch will be better.

Dang I want those!

@a6m5 is dat 260Z off that Seibou Keisatsu or whatever it was called police show from the 70s?

 

[Spacegoat]

but I did check them out & that Prince Skyway is simply amazing. Others were cool, but Skyway was the big winner.

That's the one I was most intrigued by. Looked really cool in the pics on the eBay listing. And to steal a phrase from your good self, that Fairlady Z is money in the bank. 👍 Awesome.

 

[a6m5]

@Spacegoat Yeah, thanks! Car was well worth the $16 or whatever, but I wasn't expecting the deluxe box. Pretty cool. And @Cano Yes, it's from the Seibu Keisatsu. I didn't watch it religiously or anything, but it was a pretty cool cop show(early 80's, at least for me) for kids. It was sponsored by Nissan, so the show featured all sorts of tricked out Nissan cars. Funny, I was a Toyota-boy at the time, so Nissan didn't impress me a whole lot. As a man, I've yet to own a frigging Toyota, ever(maybe one of these days lol).

Tomica Limited Vintage Tomicarama Shell Gas Station(gasoline stand):



Comes with this tiny little TLV Subaru Sambar truck.



I'm not gonna bother with those figures & tiny accessories for now. They are pain in the ass.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Arrived quickly & safely. A+ Seller. What a stud.

@a6m5

 

[a6m5]

Try to stay calm:

Tomica Limited Vintage Neo LV-N77 Mercedes Benz 190E


LV-24 Toyopet Crown

@a6m5

Best part is, when I left that feedback on eBay, I don't think I had even picked up the package from the post office yet.

Edit: Forgot about this:

Supposedly SDCC(Comicon) release. Maybe HWC release after? LIke their last cars? I like it, but for like ten bucks. I'm pretty certain I won't be getting this one.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Check T-Hunted for more pics on that.

I saw couple more from Mattel(HWC email). It looks better here I think, but I'm not a huge Star Wars fan anyway.

 

[Johnny1996]

Drooling.

 

[Spacegoat]

Pretty cool, Greenlight?

@a6m5. Clicky. Dat Toyopet Crown wagon.

 

[Johnny1996]

@a6m5. Clicky. Dat Toyopet Crown wagon.

Yep, its a Greenlight. I'm not sure why I'm attracted to it so much.

 

[a6m5]

Couple of taxis.....

Tomica Limited Vintage LV-127 Nissan Cedric('64) + LV-129 Toyopet Crown


Couple of 510/Bluebirds.......

LV-138 Datsun Bluebird('70) + LV-81 Bluebird Van Patrol Car




Edit: Last car.

LV-47 Prince Skyway


Tomicarama Diorama(again)

Drooling.

I've been eyeing their trucks. Wondered if I should order them online..... but don't want to pay the shipping. Since only Toys R Us carry Greenlight in my area, I may never see them locally.

Pretty cool, Greenlight?

@a6m5. Clicky. Dat Toyopet Crown wagon.

It's nice, but your Isuzu Bellet's my favorite Tomica in that bunch....... You need that Auto World Kingswood stationwagon though.

 

[Johnny1996]

~huge snip~

My only problem with Greenlights is that I see them after I see the Hot Wheels and the Matchboxes at my local TRU because there in two different aisles, and by the time I head over to them, I've already racked up a lot of money. Most times I see them after seeing the larger scale diecasts, too.

 

[a6m5]

One of my favorite Greenlight(w/ Kyosho Ferrari)


Couple of my favorite Hot Wheels on the new Tomica diorama


Kyoshos for Kakashi.

Oh, you can't just go with whatever you see first. Weigh them out, then buy them all walk out with the overall favorites.

In my area, I have two TRU's & they both moved all hot wheel-sized cars/minicars into one aisle. One have frigging pole, right in front of the Greenlight, Auto World & other premium cars. Irrelevant to the conversation, but it bothers me. lol

Rally Car Collection SS.6 Toyota Corolla WRC 1998 Catalunya.

I haven't shown you guys the silver 206 WRC with white wheels yet, have I?

 

[Cano]

Awesome Tomica Limiteds. Got damn I really need to get my hands on some.

also, I have that Toyota, @AOS- it's pretty damn awesome.

 

[a6m5]

I've never really cared much for that Corolla, but I am coming around. :tup:

@Cano AmiAmi has only new stuff, but nobody touches them on pricing & they are true pros. Only the postal service stands between myself & AmiAmi.

 

[RCKakashi14]

@a6m5 - That silver Carrera GT is better than an AUTOart 1/64. Can't find them in stores, either...

For most of us, that's with all Kyoshos. Welcome to our world.

The model is well done, which is why I kept it. Got it cheap, too. I think Medigo or someone found them on eBay, so some of us jumped on it. 👍

 

[Spacegoat]

Yep, its a Greenlight. I'm not sure why I'm attracted to it so much.

Honestly I prefer the GL Flatbed. Would make a rad display piece with a car placed on the back.

It's nice, but your Isuzu Bellet's my favorite Tomica in that bunch.......

Love the Bellet. Dat Orange. When are you getting one? It would look awesome parked in Gas station.

You need that Auto World Kingswood stationwagon though.

Yeah no, shipping costs ( $14-$19 ) kills that idea. Those two Bluebirds and the Prince Skyway look great by the way. 👍

Edit: Finally decided to order this.

 

[a6m5]

I'm partial to the flatbed, too.

Love the Bellet. When are you getting one?

End of the month. <<< Dang, dude. Already sold out & it's not even out yet! I so wish I ordered the orange one now though.

Yeah no, shipping costs ( $14-$19 ) kills that idea. Those two Bluebirds and the Prince Skyway look great by the way. 👍

Damn shame about Auto World. I like the Skyway a lot & Bluebirds came out lot better than I thought.

Edit: Finally decided to order this.

I'm still on the fence on that one, but I think it's a solid selection. 👍 I'm pretty sure I'm going to preorder this one. This is a Toyota Mark II, but my dad had "Chaser", which was a sister car. It just came up on preorder, like couple of days ago.

Edit2: I ended up backordering the white Bellet(w/black bonnet, like yours). I already had $76 shipment for this month, what's another $11.

Knew it was going to be popular but damn sold out, already? Glad I got in on that a couple of months ago.

Yeah just noticed that one, digging the colour scheme on the two-tone version. Waiting for the Toyota vans that were in the hobby show link you posted a couple weeks back, to come up for preorder. Hopefully they won't be too far away, October release maybe? So need that Black one.

Edit2: I ended up backordering the white Bellet(w/black bonnet, like yours).

Cool beans. 👍 Pity that the (far better ) Orange version is sold out.
