1/64 Model Collectors Thread

I probably shouldn't need to ask this, but you don't need this to remain carded? I can do some measurements for you.

Rip 'er open.

Base measurements approx 7.88mm x 2.39mm. No divets or widens ends- it's completely rectangular.


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

Here's that odd error I found a week ago:

See that back wheel? It's like someone scraped a chunk off.

Here are finds from today:

That 370Z gets crushed too easily during production. Seems the casting needs to be retired or retooled.

That's tape stuck inside!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Thanks on the truck. 370 retired? Hell no!

 

[Ken]

Thanks on the truck. 370 retired? Hell no!

Do you need another?

@Ameer67, do you need the new 240z?

 

[Ameer67]

@Ameer67, do you need the new 240z?

No thank you.

 

[Ken]

No thank you.

Alright then.

Was browsing the Hot Wheels Newsletter on Facebook and seen somebody post this.



Never seen this casting before or even heard of it. It is international only.

Trash Kyosho Ferrari Minicar Collection 2

308 GTB

Yucky yucky stuff. Don't buy these things.

Tis the 348.

Not even going to show you the rest. Won't complain any further as I got it for 99 cents.

 

[Cano]

Yes, those are some of Kyosho's worse models. Ahmed has a couple and they're laughable.

 

[AOS-]

Yeah, guys. If at any point you find an interest in any cars from the Minicar collection 1 or 2, look at later releases to see if they re-released the same model. The castings are definitely better.

Also, shoutouts to people not having a problem calling Kyosho "trash".

To replenish the quality of this thread:

2007 Beads Collection 6481A - Have a feeling I've psoted it before, but at the same time, I'm pretty sure I haven't.
2006 Super GT ARTA NSX

Garbage. Oh, wrong Kyosho.

@Spacegoat - Just out of curiosity, did you have a preorder for the Daihatsu van in December? Which color?

Went with brown on that one, suits it better than gold imo. 👍

I knew it........ I totally agree with you..... now. As expected, I preordered the gold.

🤬

Oh, well. At least I'll be getting the N.A. version of the NISMO IDx with it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I let my IDx pre-order expire. Since the first releases are still available, not in a hurry to get it. If they are still in stock when the Nismo GT-R's arrive I'll pick one up then.

I think I like the N.A. Freeflow. I passed on the Tokyo original, but considering the one you passed on.

You're losing your touch a6. I'm interested to know which way you went with the Town Ace Wagon in February now. Assuming you ordered one that is? I forget.

I don't think I have. I sure I hope I haven't. At the current rate, I may pass on the GT-R preorder & backorder some Hello Kitty playing tennis or something. I am losing it.

Edit: Yeah, I had no Town Ace(I'd go with black, if I change my mind). My February order:

TLV, TLV, Choro-Q, Choro-Q.

The End.

 

[Spacegoat]

My February order:

TLV, TLV, Choro-Q, Choro-Q.

Well since we're sharing. My February order.

This and that.

Just noticed those updated pics of the GT-R's too, I do wish they would hurry up and release pics of the finished products. That Choro-Q Fiat 500 is freakin adorable by the way. 👍

 

[a6m5]

This and that.

I forgot all about the blue & white truck. I wonder if I ordered the wrong truck, too. Oh, well. At least the red here still looks really nice.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hmm, I want this.

 

[jtl46]

It makes it a lot easier when you just order all of them. Black Town Ace is neato...

 

[Cano]

So, I figured if I didn't push myself to at least start this, I'm never gonna... well, start. So here is the picture of the display shelf. Warning: it's 5,000+ pixels wide and 3.3 mb in size. I left it in it's original size so you can really zoom in if you want. If you see something interesting that you'd like me to clean first, ask

Spoiler

 

[a6m5]

@Cano needs to go to jail for neglect. So many cool cars. So many dusty cool cars.
@jtl46 - You are a horrible role model! Did love your purchase of both TLV transporters though!

 

[Spacegoat]

Oh, well. At least the red here still looks really nice.

Yeah, honestly don't think you can go wrong with either of them. Both look great. 👍 The blue & white one is clearly the better of the two though...

Hmm, I want this.

Yes, nice. 117 coupe is a beautiful casting. Tomica did a really great job with that one.

If you see something interesting that you'd like me to clean first, ask

One question: Is that the infamous Drag Bus up there covered in dust? Because if it is, that totally has to the first car you feature. 👍

Yes it is the Drag Bus. As I've said before, that remains the only Drag Bus I have in my collection... well, if you don't count the Garage versions with windows. And yes, you got it. I'll post it tomorrow (:

It's not bad. I just like the color.

Dude. Row spacing is too big for 1/64s. Needs moar rows.

yeah but I didn't make that shelf, it was given to me for free. I rescued it from the trash in fact, we were helping a guy that worked with my dad move out of his place and he was just gonna scrap that thing, so I snapped it up. Been with me for, dunno, close to 20 years maybe.

 

[AOS-]

You planning to reuse it or improving on it?
