1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Did it drive through a puddle of mustard lol

This is what I was supposed to have received:

Seller didn't know about White Lightning(usually have white tires, or it's whited-out), and while he posted a stock photo in the eBay auction, sent me the one I posted in the above post. Looking at the stock one with the black tires again, actually, I think I'm OK with the one I have. White spare tire on the roof rack makes me laugh.

Now that one's not bad. I understand the collectability of the chase models, but wowee it looks bad lol

I'm just gonna go ahead & pretend that Beetle raced thru some yellow mud in some third-world country. Yeah, that's it. Equipped with spare tire made out of coconut.

 

[Spacegoat]

Yeah, that one does look better without the weird mud colour (mustard ). But getting the White Lighting chase version thingy sent to you by accident? Score. 👍

 

[yabiggoose]

I only just noticed the spare tyre, hahahahahha.

Yeah! I actually contacted the seller if he wanted it back, as I didn't pay him any chase casting money. I think I even used the "Best Offer" to get some discount off the base model money. The seller, he had no idea what I was talking about, and it pretty much concluded in "I'm OK with it if you are....?"

I only just noticed the spare tyre, hahahahahha.

It's so ridiculous, I'm at a point I actually enjoy it for what it is.

 

[yabiggoose]

Coconut and mustard?

 

[a6m5]

If they made such candy bar, I'd buy it.

Then give it to Johnny. For free.

 

[yabiggoose]

Lemon and coconut could be a go.

I wish Hot Wheels would bring the RT/10 back into the mainline.

 

[Spacegoat]

Coconut and mustard?

My daily breakfast...

 

[a6m5]

My daily breakfast...

I knew it, you are no (space)goat!

 

[AOS-]

I was doing a word search at work the other day and I came across one by the category title of: "Rhymes With Goat"...

I wish Hot Wheels would bring the RT/10 back into the mainline.

I'm still selling my lot of 5 (two of them are really special). I can make you a super duper offer that will supersede the higher postage prices if you want.

Oooooh...



As if my red one isn't enough...

 

[Spacegoat]

I knew it, you are no (space)goat!

Yeah and you're not a Japanese fighter plane either, what about it?

"Rhymes With Goat"...

I don't even want to know. !

That secret F1 GTR by the way, damn.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

What was the super for the B case? I know the jeep was the regular TH but I don't remember what the super is.

 

[AOS-]

Roadstteeeerrrr ,was it? Or the Ferrari 599XX.

 

[CodeRedR51]

RRRoadster.

Edit: and Super T-Hunt #5 is:

 

[Johnny1996]

Got this today, only to find that there was a chip of the National Guard logo on the trunk gone after I was home and had it uncarded, so picky me must go back to Walmart and buy a new one. This one is officially for sale for $2.50.

 

[AOS-]

Everyone's nutso for Mustangs but they're usually the ones that end up being eBay warmers.

That Denzler store was legit.

2010 Speed Machines. Worth lots of moolah.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Edit: Blah, NVM.

 

[a6m5]

Yeah and you're not a Japanese fighter plane either, what about it?

"I believe I can fly... I believe I can touch the sky... I think about it every night and day... Spread my wings and fly away..."

Edit: Blah, NVM.

That Miata that came with Japanese stamps.

 

[AOS-]

So final listing fees on eBay are 10% for me. If you ran a store, it's 4-9%. Got that in an email promotional offer on reduced final listing fees.

=======

So I started browsing the other diecast forum again. Secured myself that secret model blue McLaren F1, black GT40, a handful of other Mclarens I already have and some others. Rakuten's the place you need to be. Navigating a site in foreign language will be difficult, but gotdamn all the basics go as low as $5-6.


Also, in the same forum, I found this thread that documented all existing Kyosho minicar releases, and came across some I thought I'd let you know become aware of.

Spoiler

8/12/208 Kyosho Release 29 Porsche Racing (934/935)

7/6/2010 Kyosho Release 43 Super GT GT500 Racing

Don't know if I would aim for those NSXs.

5/3/2011 Kyosho Release 48 Nissan Skyline #2

Don't know about those R31s....

Seen separate ones, but were never named Kyosho in their listings...

That's an R32, FC, FD, NSX, Cosmo and 240Z. Very good selections!

=================

@R1600Turbo, highly detailed Mazdas?

Mazda Rotary Engine Collection:

This FD is its secret model, and of course the black 787B being the Karuwaza model.

There is also the red and blue FD (Beads release).

Aoshimas and TLVs otherwise.

Digging that livery, one of JR's nicest. Looks great. 👍

"I believe I can fly... I believe I can touch the sky... I think about it every night and day... Spread my wings and fly away..."

Whenever I hear that song all I can think of is Space Jam.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Here comes the Huracan

I knew they would

 

[RCKakashi14]

An interesting find for today - Hot Wheels Lotus 340R:



Definitely looks a lot better than the Evora GT4, IMHO.

I'm wishing that HW will make a Lotus 2-Eleven.

 

[AOS-]

With a saw and some putty, one can make a 2-11.

 

[jtl46]

Dark chrome is the common release. Photos in the listing were kind of iffy, so I messaged him to make sure. He said they were dark chrome, but he had two of them so checked the other and said it was normal chrome. Sending me that one. Got an orange Speed Machines on the way too. Think I just need the black one and I'm all caught up with that casting.

Do you have the black with 10sp? Planning on doing an article on wheel varis on HW Japanese castings, and that will be included. I think I will need your input on some you have...

No I don't.

AmiAmi just came through with the used car dealer Tomicarama back order. Guess what I'm getting for Christmas this year? Woo.

Edit: And the E36 M3 is back again.

 

[AOS-]

I am seriously contemplating whether I should start a E36 collection... I wasn't drawn in by the red or white, but this.... this..... it looks very much like my Datsun custom.

It's hitting me good. Cano, talk me out of buying this.
