1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Casey]

I get that. What I'm trying to say is I have stuff you may want.

Oh. Well do you have something like an eBay page?

 

[AOS-]

I have nothing currently (realistically) for sale besides the Matchbox plane and Teslas, but I'll link you to all the things that have sold (almost entirely at opening bid): http://www.ebay.ca/sch/ayohes/m.htm...lete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2046732.m1684

Who's lying here? *1970 vs 1974

Spoiler

And you wanted me to open mine. Not happening.

You should still open that.

Wow. Cash in on that Silverado! You can get yourself a high-end AutoART.

Spoken like a collector that jumped ship from 1/64.

 

[Spacegoat]

You should still open that.

Yeah, still not happening. Sorry.

 

[a6m5]

Along with the GL 1/18 Ford Escort, Jarrod's already spotted this on Twitter, but this was my combined purchase:

My full blog post.

Yeah, still not happening. Sorry.

It's so sweet out of the packaging, Jarrod. @Cano was right all along. Uncard them all.

 

[Spacegoat]

Jarrod's already spotted this on Twitter,

It was right at the very top of my feed.

Sweet score mate, that engine hoist and toolbox are a cool touch. 👍

Uncard them all.

Nope.

Alright, time to reveal what I bought from pallaszg this time. Many $ worth of stuff as you all know.



No slouching today, starting right off with CM's

this 240RS






this other 240RS






Lancia Delta S4





This thing looks really good.

TLV Galant!




Yes, the front end is yellowed, no I can't do anything about it, no I'm not very happy about it.
Rear looks nice though.




And a lone Kyosho in this lot.





It's slightly crooked, but it's not that bad in person. I might be able to fix it.




AAH you thought that there were no more CM's in this lot. Well Pallaszg sent me one as a gift this time. No doubt to make up for the yellow Galant.
It is damaged though, looks like the wing came off at some point (that's why it's a little off). Can fix it no problem though.







And finally the secret car that I completely blurred out last time. Oooh.
It's by Real X which I've never heard of. Though I bet someone else in this thread has.
Anyway, it's really nice. And it was the cheapest of all the cars I bought this time.




It's 1/72 as well, which means I can do this and it's in scale.



DISCLAIMER: Not an actual wartime photo. No Nissans were harmed in the making of this image.

EDIT: Don't know why some of the pictures are broken.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Maybe you need to reupload the pictures through some other source, @Apok? I could be wrong, but maybe something like that can fix such an issue.

As for the cars, no, I had never heard about Real X, but they seem to have a rather interestingly good level of quality for cars that are apparently cheaper than your average CM's model. Their choice of a Z32 Fairlady Z pace car helps their case, the car itself looks very nice. The front head lights seem to "sunk" (so to speak) a little too much inside the casting's body, and the front bumper blinkers seem to be a bit too large, but other than that I'd say it was money well spent.

The CM's are their ususal selves, good castings of great rally cars. I love the Marlboro-esque factory livery on the Safari Rally 240, but I have a question; why does the other 240RS's numberplate read "Londres"? Because's that certainly not the English spelling of the name... It is the Portuguese way of spelling London, or maybe it's French in this case. Care to clarify my doubts?

I have a Real-X kenmeri and hakosuka Skyline. I'll get pics when I'm home.

*raises hand* I have I have!

Your pictures are broken because you crushed the Z.

Also, I think at this point, you can come grab the rest of my CM's off me. I'll even pitch some Norevs. Down for it? Up for it?

GTP Insider deals from UK. Lots of goodie Matchboxes, some of which go for good money.

There's more Superfasts and 40th Anniversaries not mentioned... but that Land Rover is serious business if you want to grab a good Matchbox. Keep this on the low.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I had a Real X Initial D AE86 for a while.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

My latest set of stuff. I decided to start collecting some of those jeeps and I'm happy to say that I found a blue NSX and a Shelby GT350R. The Honda CRX was a nice addition too.

I'm unhappy because I haven't.

[Cano]

Of course I was. The really surprising thing is that it has taken you this long to realize.

As for Jarrod, out of hope.

 

[Spacegoat]

It's by Real X which I've never heard of.

I've never heard of Real X before Apok's post. Awesome stuff! 👍

I've been out of hope for a long time mate.

 

[a6m5]

God, some amazing haul guys. 👍👍​

I'm happy to say that I found a blue NSX and a Shelby GT350R.

I'm unhappy because I haven't.

I finally found them at TRU other day. I was too lazy to buy them for just two mainlines, so I passed. It's TRU's fault. "Would you like to apply for the Toys R Us blah blah card?" "Would you like to sign up for the Rewards Card?" Every. Frigging. Time.

I avoid Subway, too. Their competitors see all my money.

P.S. I saw the new Jeep line at my Walmart today? I didn't see any of those Jeeps, and I check there almost everyday! I've been sensing this store has become collector heavy recently.

The really surprising thing is that it has taken you this long to realize.

I've been uncarding for over a year!

As for Jarrod, out of hope.

I haven't given up on Jarrod yet. Harassing each other has become a hobby, really.

Nope.

Maybe just the Vintage Racing 510. It's cool now, but it's literally ten times cooler loose. It's amazing when you finally meet it in person!

Edit: I should drop this here, too.

Finally.

That, or this?

 

[CodeRedR51]

That moment when you're at your local Walmart checking for Japan Historics and an employee walks up and starts browsing through the Hot Wheels like a collector.

I won't find the Historics at this store.

 

[Nessy]

At least that's one store you can cross off your list.

 

[CodeRedR51]

At least that's one store you can cross off your list.

It's the only store in town. Phoenix is 40+ miles away.

 

[Nessy]

That sucks, but it does make me .

If it makes you feel any better, my nearest TRU is over 40 miles away, (not that they ever have anything).

 

[CodeRedR51]

I am just have to give in and pay the eBay markup.

 

[Spacegoat]

Harassing each other has become a hobby, really.

Pretty much.

And congrats on the GT. Looks good. 👍

 

[Casey]

Got these from walmart yesterday really liking the Renault Sport R.S. most of them were from the dump bin.

 

[a6m5]

I just started working on this for my blog:

Not my favorite casting, but not bad. *shrug*

That, or this?

Why must I choose!? AUTOart, duh... lol

Pretty much.

And congrats on the GT. Looks good. 👍

Thanks! Yeah, it's pretty nice. Until Andy posted the 1/18, I didn't realize how accurate the tampos were. Display case at work has been hijacked by the owner, but as soon as it returns to normal, I have to display the hot wheels with the 1/18 AUTOart!

 

[RenoRanes007]

Managed to find them all in my local ASDA.

For whatever reason the focus for the first 3 went on the packaging rather than the cars so they are a bit blury:

Yes the plastic packaging on the R32 GTR is damaged, was the only one I could find at the time anywhere, I have since found an undamaged one though.

 

[Cano]

I am just have to give in and pay the eBay markup.

I gave in and bought them today. The 2000GT's hood tampo sucks.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Funny I just did a search on eBay and the cheapest set listed is actually in Scottsdale AZ, so they may be in the area. I may go to Phoenix next weekend so I'll wait.

Gran Turismo cars on the other hand...
