1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Spacegoat]

All the best in the New Year, guys!

It was great spending time with you here - this thread is a veritable encylopedia of cars . . . here's to wasting more money throughout 2015 and bringing the thrash in here to brag.

A special Happy New Year to SVX, Cano, a6m5, Jason, Andy, Jarrod, Sonygamer, Apok, Panda, Nessy . . . the list is too long . . . but thank you all for the great company throughout the year that made collecting so more enjoyable that doing it alone.

So . . . on to another year of hoarding! 👍 And don't upset the babies. They can only stand so much before the bawling begins.


Harry.

Thank you Harry. All the best to you and your family too for the new year.

My new year's resolution is to quit spending money on 1/64 cars, also to stop bragging.

Yeah, best of luck with that.

@a6m5 just saw another bluebird wagon at a Target. You should check your Target stores.

I picked up that NSX. Great model.

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, best of luck with that.

I know! I can only hope! Seriously though, As far as TLVs go, all three of my major goals has been achieved: Red CR-X, Shell Tank Truck + Ladder Truck Fire Engine. I do hope this translates to slowing down on the hot wheels/minicar hunts. We'll see.

I check there, too. I may try again tomorrow. Thanks!

Hmmmm... shall I buy the Kyosho 1/64 Aston Martin Rapide S? I almost bought that yesterday, until I saw that V8 Vantage.

Bought these at a car museum while on holiday:

Again I wish you good luck with that bud. Also on your TLV goals, Bluebird Silhouette, can't forget about that one. 👍

My money was on you mentioning the certain other Bluebird. Don't worry, they are both on my list. 👍

Just got this AW.

Not my pic; here is the source.

Glad you hit your TLV goals, Shintaro. Now you uncover the next goals.

All I wanted awhile ago was to have the Kenmeri Wagon. I hit that goal, and now 250 TLV's later I am in deep.

 

[RCKakashi14]

I'll head to Daboxtoys later, as I finally know how to get there via the MTR.

Where was that : O

I will admit the thought did cross my mind briefly.

Don't worry, they are both on my list. 👍

Good to hear. 👍

Rapide S is one of the least desirable cars in the Aston Martin set. I see it listed for $5 with no bidders. Thought I'd give you a benchmark number to work with.

Personally, I'm just waiting for another deal on the Karuwaza Vanquish. Shouldn't have let that one go for $38.

The Minichamps 911 GT3R I haven't yet decided to buy yet. Nice.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hit a million Walmarts today, same story at all of them....absolutely nothing. Bought the Mustang from one Walmart but it looked like maybe it had been returned? I think it's super old and the box was opened. Bought it anyway. Then found the GTO & transporter combo, bought it just for the GTO. So that means I don't want/need the truck. @Cano ?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Finally! My Walmart that I work at got new cars. They skipped b case but that's fine.
All c case cars aston, copo, Corolla, GTO, viper, highway hauler turbine time and fast bed hauler.

I have the green one. They are sweet.

Glad you hit your TLV goals, Shintaro. Now you uncover the next goals.

We'll see, John. We'll see.

I'll head to Daboxtoys later, as I finally know how to get there via the MTR.

I hope you take some pics!

So that means I don't want/need the truck. @Cano ?

I have the set & I love it. How dare you man!

 

[Spacegoat]

I'll head to Daboxtoys later,

Okay, now I'm insanely jealous. Hope you find some cool stuff. 👍

 

[Cano]

So that means I don't want/need the truck. @Cano ?

Dude, you should really really really keep the truck, for ONCE, the truck/car combo makes sense and looks awesome. You sure you don't want it?

I have nowhere to display the truck, plus I don't even really care about it. You don't have to take it, I'm sure I could get rid of it on eBay at some point.

 

[RCKakashi14]

This is it, I finally stepped in the DaBoxtoys store here in HK!










Those Kyosho Lambos are expensive as hell...








I bought this chase car, though...




and another Aston:




That concludes my diecast hunting trip in HK. I'm very happy with all I've bought.

 

[Nessy]

Aston LMP.

 

[Cano]

Lol, I never said anything about not taking it, I just said you should really keep them together. How much?

 

[yabiggoose]

Tempted by a few kyosho's.

(I don't have any)

 

[CodeRedR51]

Lol, I never said anything about not taking it, I just said you should really keep them together. How much?

Same price as the others.

Edit: getting worried about my Japan Booster package. Last tracking update was on the 26th of December as processed through Japan post.

Also,I hear maybe the dock workers may be on strike? Hence why Mattel doesn't have any product on the shelves anywhere.

 

[Cano]

Same price as the others.

Cool. How much was it?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Cool. How much was it?

$10

 

[Cano]

$10

Yeah, add it up lol. How ,much do I owe you by now? Still haven't found a box to contain all teh stuffz?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I think just the money for the truck. I'm going to get the box out on Monday for sure.

Ok, I'll send you over the $10 at home; let me know about the box (:
