1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Cano]

DRRRRROOOOOOOOL I have always wanted this. Until I see the price of course. Thanks for reminding me ):

Also, some of those variations are pretty amazing, a few of them I had never seen. Cool 👍

Im having to save money now due to buying a block of land to build a house on and lately most of my spare cash has been going towards Lego. The shops near my house have had nothing new in Hotwheels for a few weeks now.

LEGO....... I'm so disappointed. Ben, comeback! j/k

 

[CodeRedR51]

Wish I could afford LEGO stuff. Even when it's on clearance it's still expensive.

 

[Spacegoat]

Funny thing, I do not recognize the front of the car. At all.

Nah, too easy.

And speaking of Carina's, if this isn't a TLV model already, it totally should be.

Too many eyes!

It sort of reminds me of this. Which in turn reminds me of this car, which definitely should join the TLV family. Then it shall be customized into something similar to this, then we'll call it good.

LEGO on clearance? Sounds like a myth?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Nope, seen tons on clearance this weekend.

Love those Celica's so much. That one is perfect too.

Well, like with the Bigfoot, I've yet to see physical evidence. What's next, iPhone 50% off? j/k

I was young! I must've been around four years old! Some kids get scarred by bullies, my issue was with taillights apparently.

That car + the SSS Bluebird I ordered today, I came close to chasing the standard Tomica Limited versions, but decided to wait for the TLV versions. I have few more like that. My TLV wishlist.

Ill be back when the stores here get some new stuff, it just wont be in the quantity that I have posted previously.

It does occasionally go on clearance, but it doesn't happen often.

Damn it guys, I ended up buying like 6 different Racing Champs '69 Daytonas, and two HW '62 Chevys, none of which I even collect. Why did I even bother?

How long? I do generally prefer to kick them out ASAP.

That will depend on how soon you buy more TLVs and decide the rest of your mainlines aren't good enough for you.

No, but seriously, whenever you decide to clear out on your other hot wheels. That's how long.




I am also okay with paying now and returning again should you have another awesome sale like you did just now.

Thanks, but I'm 16, no credit card for online purchases .

Bank account + paypal, silly!

I don't have either of those, either .

Well, you could get a job, make a bank account, followed by a Paypal account, and proceed to shop on eBay until you're broke. 👍

But when I get a job, I need a car (one that I can sit in, anyway ). Right now I'm getting my hot wheels from the spare change every time I break a dollar.

I think most of those still garner a bit. That red wheel dieselboy was super hot back in the day, and must be locked up in a few collections, because I hear very little about it. The one I wish I still had is the 10sp Skyline.

That Celica is a perfect TLV candidate. My hope is with the demise of the Tomica Limited line, coupled with the success of the IDx, TLV will look to tackle some JDM faves like the Kenmeri and Toyota 2000GT. Pure stock of course. A stock Kenmeri is at the very top of wish list. Never ditch the type of models they do now, but I walk around JCCS every year saying "damn I wish TLV would do this one"...

Yeah, I had never seen that one, it looks pretty awesome.

I have been adding them here & there, but even when I do, they are all premium lines, and they are all full price. These mainlines, I am selling at loss($1 cost + listing=selling @ 40 cents), so this is just a desperate attempt to clear room, and no, there won't be another deal like this, at least hopefully.

Kenmeri did cross my mind, too. Probably every Tomica collectors'. I'd really like to see the first two generation of the Celica XX/Supra as well...... and if they are going to do the first gen Supra, also the same era standard Celicas.



Perhaps too hardcore for your average collectors, but looking at typical TLV releases, lot of them are pretty hardcore selections.

Casting of the above two at 1/64 scale's nearly non-existent, two Supras below I really like are not that far off.



Come on TLV. You guys do all the cars that nobody else bothers to! :tup:

 

[CodeRedR51]

TLV needs one of these:

And one of these.

 

[a6m5]

My kid brother had the SE-R. Did lot to it. Fun & cool car. I'd buy one as a TLV. 👍

Mazda, is that called the RX-3? Kind of surprised they don't already make one. I have seen the standard Tomica Limited one on eBay.

 

[Johnny1996]

Some of those cars I'd never knew existed had it not been for Gran Turismo. GT needs a joint effort with TLV for a series of Japanese road cars and race cars, IMO.

While I don't see it happening, it has indeed happened before, I guess. The set will feature 100 cars. Roughly 85 of those will be Skylines.

Yeah, there is a lot of hardcore TLV, but man those are all fantastic options. Hadn't thought about the Celica/Supra, but that is also a perfect choice. A good friend of mine in SoCal has one and it is a beauty.

Tomica did the stock Kenmeri casting, and released it twice. This one below and another in a spectraflame-type color. All other versions are the GT-R. I am not a huge fan of standard Tomica so I don't know much. All I do know is they need to do the sedan so I can put it next to the Van, which at gunpoint I would say is my favorite TLV casting.



Japan Booster just put up the Nissan Gloria DX in black. Very tempting....

 

[a6m5]

It very well could be.

Ah, stock-stock. I misunderstood. 👍

I've glanced at it a million times, never actually took a look at one. I may have to now!

This, I have looked at. If I wasn't stretched so thin right now, I'd get up on eBay & look. I probably have close to $300 $400 worth of cars in transit to me now, and over 2/3 of that are TLVs. Edit: I thought I was little light this month. Better slow down.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Haven't been collecting in a while... But decided to go out and check out the local flea markets. Found these.

Finally got one of the original R34's!

 

[velly]

hey guys, is this a TH?

I has the flame in a circle with a flame in it above the word "wheels"

 

[a6m5]

Nope.

 

[velly]

i thought not,i was searching the internet on my phone and didnt have any luck, so I guessed as much and left it in the shop.

Thanks

No problem. I had one, I did the same search awhile back.

 

[AOS-]

That one had struck much debate before, but the funny thing is that certain mainlines before the 2013 TH change had the very same flame logo and those weren't THs. This is one of those case.
