1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Johnny1996]

My finds for today. What you don't see posted is the HW Retro Entertainment Top Gun Kawasaki Ninja. All the basic mainline HWs are getting uncarded unless someone in here stops me because there's a really rare car in my haul.

Spoiler: M2

That Greenlight Monte Looks lucious. We'll have to wait and see, but from that pic alone it looks like massive win.

Should be this one.

Good enough. I'll bite.

The Montecarlo looks awesome, "hobby exclusive" it sounds that we will never have that edition in México, too bad. I´ll ask my personal Greenlight dealer for it, maybe with a little luck he can find it for me.

Also, I can´t wait for my TLV GTRs to arrive I´m counting the days.

What a day. Super Treasure Hunt Toyota Off Road, all the new Real Riders, except the yellow pick, but I found one a couple days ago. And I found the Urban Outlaw Porsche!

Damn good haul mate.

Damn, what a day indeed @NISM0_SKYLINE 👍

Have to remember to pay for mine tonight.

More Auto World Release 4:

 

[AHMEDFINK]

They are awesome!!

 

[ScottPuss20]

The brilliant thing about TLV's is that they don't look small until you see them in person. My dad would probably think that these cars are 1:43 scale

 

[Spacegoat]

That looks great.👍 Got the black N-attack currently in the mail along with a couple of other TLV's. Can't wait for them to arrive.

thanks. had an idea to do a shadowbox display for my office with the signed one and one of the others

 

[Johnny1996]

Just uncarded my 180sx to find this. That's definitely not normal is it?

Great idea with the shadow box mate, looks awesome. 👍

One of the handful of Hot Wheels that remain in my collection. The rest? Gave them away to my 4-year old nephew.

I can see why would you keep that, Kakashi, such a model isn't necessarily a common sight in... well, just about anywhere. It's also a HW racing model that doesn't have the infamous "uplifting front splitter", which makes it even more attractive.

May I ask, what's the story behind that model? I can tell that it's an Oldsmobile IMSA racing car, but not much more than that...

It's actually a Riley & Scott Mk. III race car, with an Oldsmobile Aurora V8 powering it. While it did upstage Ferraris in its career, it was simply forgotten...

Ah, it's a Riley chassis, thanks for clarifying that one. The Oldsmobile logos are related to the (honestly brilliant) Aurora V8 unit, an engine which powered race-winning Indy Cars, speed record-beating concepts and of course that Ferrari LMP-beating Riley... I don't recall seeing many models of that LMP chassis, which is why I asked that question. Not many brands recreate those IMSA Prototypes, even American brands such as Hot Wheels... I do wonder why is that so, to be honest.

Never heard of that Riley & Scott release. I have a bunch of crummy ones. I'm taking them all apart for the wings, diffusers, and wheels as it would probably be more valuable for customs than reselling to a collector.

From the Hall of Fame series. I got it dirt cheap at around 7 USD.

I used to look for Hall of Fames. Surprisingly I don't think I've come across this one. Good choice to hang onto it.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Think I got 3 hall of fame cars for $3 each at a flea market. I still haven't opened them.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Not quite 1/64. But close...enough? Was slightly interested in the F&F Jada series when it was announced. Didn't realize the R34 was the F&F2 car and the Supra came in bits where you'd have to buy every single car just to get one piece.

Still might get the Lykan....

Just saw this in the store this afternoon:
