1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Avalonbug's car

yeah basically. I found 2 '10's, a '09, and a '11 Skyline 2000 GTX. I guess they just fell under there and got left.

I will actually look underneath the shelf units in case something like this would happen. Serious.

I never thought to do it, but it worked!

EDIT: The package was pretty torn up , so I removed it and placed it in a display case, and maybe I can repair it later. Here's what it looked like originally:

My best old car find was the black Datsun 510(worth some bucks). I hope your iPhone's ok. 👍

@Cano, don't forget the kids with Hot Wheels in hand....... Cano: The gold medalist runner of the toy aisle. Edit: I got one better: Grand Theft Hot Wheels.

@a6m5 My phone's ok lol, and as for the GTHW, I wouldn't put pushing a kid over for a treasure hunt behind me.

Pretty sure that kid had to go to therapy with some serious trust issues after his run in with @Cano.

Not actually about collecting, but has anyone ever taped Hot Wheels cars hitting each other in slow motion? My friend did it. Cool stuff.

Hmm.... There's an idea. 💡

I think I might just do this.

That's OK, we've been derailing for awhile now.

 

[Avalonbug]

Oh. My. God. Yes.

 

[Johnny1996]

Holy....

*Gets two Datsun 510 Wagons Super TH* *smashes them together repeatedly*

I think all Hot Wheel collectors would be crying by then.

If there's an actual kid like that somewhere we'll send Cano there to teach him a lesson.

Here's a REALLY poor quality video I found. Doing it with an iPhone is way better but here you go.

As soon as I read "Datsun" I was in tears. Damn you Ameer.

How can I post the video he took on here? It's quite cool if I may say so.

Copy and paste the link.

Indeed, about four or five years to be exact.

Brilliant meme by the way. 👍

 

[Avalonbug]

Well, idk how to do that on an iPhone. I'll figure it out later.

EDIT: Here's a cool video that's just the same.

 

[Cano]

Dude this is too good not to do something about it.

EDIT: Oh yes.

Aaaand... so what?

They're all for you. 👍

Oh lord help me. I found Ebay.

 

[Johnny1996]

Oh lord help me. I found Ebay.

There is no help. Only an abyss.

There's no use if they're not ina kid's hand. Haven't you heard the story?

Oh lord help me. I found Ebay.

As said before: evil monster that eats babies. You have no return now. Say goodbye to dispposable income from now on.

Fair enough.

@Mrs.Koios isn't helping. She just told me to "go have fun". I don't think she had any idea what she just did.

Edit: Just found this for @Cano

As they say, beginning of the end.

I feel like a Nazi Party supporter from the 1930's in saying this, but I have to agree.

No she doesn't. Ask my wife.

Ah, you truly don't know the story. I'm not in the chase for Drag Buses. My affair with them dates back to 1996, when the original HW-Liveried Drag Bus hit the pegs. I was at Wal Mart checking out an enormous floor-to-wall display of HWs and hadn't found a thing. Then this little kid comes in, pulls my t-shirts and tells me "oi, can you please give me dat one?" and points upwards. I turn up and high, way high, I see a chassis I've never seen before. I step in the display stand and with the help of a HW blistercard make it fall down. The kid grabs it and I see it and go "oh damn", and ask him to let me see it. He gives it to me and I run like a freight train. That was the only time I ever saw the Drag Bus in the pegs and is, to this day, the only one I have in my collection.

I REGRET NOTHING.

Of course, after telling the story here it became an inside joke, and well, here I am with a new avatar...[/QUOTE]

Yeah. Goodbye money. I will miss you. I take back my statement a few pages back about how people could $20+ on a car. I am slowly learning.

I'd feel obligated as a father to say "bad Cano". But honestly, I've already had that thought run through my head while hunting. 'What if some little kid picked up a car I wanted, what would I do?' My answer isn't any better, so I can't judge by any means. Funny story though.

 

[a6m5]

Someday, Cano's legendary tale would become so big that we'll see that very Drag Bus on eBay(w/Cano autograph) for something crazy. People checking out the auction will see the pic & go, "hey, what's that imperfection on the card there???" gtplanet members know. It is from the tear of a small(and terrified) child.
