1/64 Model Collectors Thread

@Sonygamer455 - Bend the rule. Sales tax never counted toward the grand total.

Good point. However I am not good at math, but I doubt that having no sales tax would drop it below $20.

If that $1.40's the sales tax on the receipt, it's $19.95 before tax. We don't have sales tax in Oregon.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Michigan it's .06 cents for tax.

It's a percent Beef, not a fixed dollar amount. (Maybe you mean $.06 per dollar which would equal to 6%.)

Not the tidiest thing ever, but it's a GC, so I don't even care!

But wait. There's more.

Spoiler: How's it compare to Kyosho's 22b STi?

BTW, you're more than welcome to do a post on this, @jtl46. If you need larger photos.

GameCube?

Is that why they are broke? j/k

[/dumbquestions]

 

[AOS-]

Yes, the Gamecube 8 chassis, with a box-uh engine and the 4 tactile pavement controllers.


Next joke, please.

It is and you are right. 👍 Thanks for mentioning that, I will keep it in mind in case my mom finds out how much I spent.

What.

I really didn't know. Kyosho looks more precise, but CM's still look damn good. 👍

Your mama so fat, every time she goes to the beach, people try to roll her back into the ocean.

I'm a horrible influence. You tell on me I kill u.

What.

It doesn't matter(well, it does), we get ripped off anyway.

And Carisma's even worse. Cano will let us know about it later.

Bro, don't make me spit out my tea!

I'm about ready to spit out my own tea myself, but out of disgust.

This is what I save up my money for. Shame the GT3 doesn't have another colour... Oh well, money saved on that end.

Guess I'll have to go with the white and matte black Supersports. *checks Karuwaza's site*

 

[a6m5]

I like Turbo R's, but what is up with the colors? I like the 'limited to online' Matte black, but I don't want to give up an arm & leg.

$15 on Karuwaza's preorder list right now. I'm getting my forwarder to preorder one for me. Want him to get you one too?

 

[a6m5]

I stopped by Toys R Us on the way home tonight, fully expecting to pick up couple of Greenlight Hitch & Tow. I failed My TRU failed miserably. They had no nothing.

I did get this in the mail:

Greenlight Black Bandit 1966 Ford Galaxie 500


This'll be out of the blister before too long.

$15 is a great deal, but after all the fees & shipping, no thanks!

 

[AOS-]

Hah. I considered the service fee and the relatively decent SAL postage he offers (not Jauce), and I'm going on a limb to say the Bentley would probably hit over $50 on eBay. Most popular secrets and Karuwazas have stayed around that range. Anything remotely for $30 gets purchased instantly.

Continental GT3.

Spoiler

Everything else on there isn't of much interest to me.

Same here, minus the dance. It was more of a DW Shuffle.

[yabiggoose]

Oh god I want that green Turbo R.

 

[Johnny1996]

@AOS- above did the Kyosho vs CM's comparison pics; I'd be curious to see something like that with the Continental Supersports and Continental GT3.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Bought the last piece of the Lambo boxset:

 

[Apok]

More stuff came in.

Two Corgi's, which also happen to be my first Corgi's. And they even came with the boxes which is neat I suppose.

Ford Sierra

It has a tow hook, so yes it can tow a boat.



And of course a BMW. You can't argue with those wheels.

As a race car it is not expected to tow boats.



The rest is all Matchbox.
Mercedes 500 SEC with a slight paint chip on the front left.

Can not tow boats due to no tow hook.



And finally all of these BMW's

A closeup of one

They were sold as a lot, so why not get multiples?
One of the red ones has a tow hook and the light blue one also has a tow hook. They can tow boats.

Dat Alison brie. One of the older cars almost took my interest because of the old-car-box-shape figure, but then I remembered these are Bentleys. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the make, but I'm happy they've broke the ice on a new make. It'd be pretty sweet if they targeted a specific US make as well.

@AOS- above did the Kyosho vs CM's comparison pics; I'd be curious to see something like that with the Continental Supersports and Continental GT3.

The casting is by the same company, which probably means they won't be a whole lot different aside from the aero kit.

Bought the last piece of the Lambo boxset:

I nabbed the green one 2 weeks ago.

Screw. You! If any vehicle makes me jealous, it's that one!

Minus the wonky colour choices (where's my black Turbo R, Kyosho?), that looks really good. I'd personally go for an Arnage R, a Flying Spur and maybe the GT3. I am an old-fashioned Bentley fan, what can I say? Square luxury cars are my thing...

Also, that black Supersports is frakkin' sweet, dear god.

 

[Cano]

Blazin' Bug. I had seen this vehicle back in summer of 2012 when I went with my neighbor and had wanted it ever since. Finally I got it since I didn't really have anything else I wanted more. $10 (2nd most expensive vehicle I have ever bought)
^Pretty minty. A few small scuffs, marks and dust on the paint, but if I gently clean it with a wet cloth it should look pretty good. 👍

That was a good price for this one as it has the white wheels and it's in pretty decent shape, good buy. I don't remember if the one I have has the white or grey wheels.

Power Plower. Another vehicle I had wanted since 2012. I nearly bought it back then, but I sat it back in favor of getting the orange '31 Doozie (Which I do not regret). I thought for sure it had been sold for quite some time, but after my recent visit with my dad I discovered it was still there. I almost got it again afterwards, but I would have broke my budget if I had bought it, so I set it aside again in favor of getting the Hot Wheels 100% sets and that Corgi Firebird (Obviously worth it). So now since I had fewer vehicles to worry about, I finally grabbed this sucker. $4.95
^Axles are bent and rusted. Paint is chipped in some places and tampos are pretty much gone. Snow plow is broken off and it is missing a light on top. Interior is knocked out of place and so is the windshield. Lastly the wheels are dirty. Yea this thing is just begging to be fixed!

Expeeeensive for how tattered it is, specially as it is missing the snow plow. If y9ou ever get around to fising it, ti will leave your truck with a horrible hole in the grille. Not worth the $5 you spent.

And a '93 Mustang simply because I couldn't resist the color. $1

I don't know where that came in, but it's also quite uncommon. Good grab.

And Carisma's even worse. Cano will let us know about it later.

Eh, ok. iirc Ahmed told me they've arrived, it's onbly a matter of retrieving them from him... and paying him

More stuff came in.

Great stuff dude. Those convertible BMWs have evaded Cano for a damn while.

Good point. I have done some investigation.

Regrettably, my investigation into the matter has resulted in concerning news. It does not seem that boxes have the ability to tow boats.

*No boxes or boats were harmed in the making of that collage

Screw. You! If any vehicle makes me jealous, it's that one!

It sounds like you'd like to see more pictures.

Yup, Britain's noisiest crisps. That definitely was a factor that helped me decide to buy it.

And a family photo.

Ok, I have a new mission for you; can you confirm that Golden Wonder crisps are in fact "Britain's noisiest crisps"? I don't think that such claim can go unconfirmed. And if you use your Sierra to crush said crisps, does that make them even noisier? We need to know (probably not, but I do, dang it!) the truth!

Ahem, jokes aside, those Sierras are quite nice, reminds me of the old diecasts I usually saw as a wee nipper. Maybe I own one or two, but that requires me to go to the attic and check. I may even have a Majorette limo somwhere (won it at a local fair in a game)...

Don't be silly, I only do serious die-cast boat related investigation.
