1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Gotbeefboy564]

I debated on weather I should buy the NYPD 5 pack but I didn't.

 

[CodeRedR51]

All I wanted was the Charger and based on a quick look at eBay and the high asking price of that car alone, I decided it was worth it to buy the hole pack for $6.

 

[a6m5]

I really like the Ford GT that comes with MBX 5-pack. I've passed every time so far, but last time, I was like "I could keep the GT & something else(I forget), give the rest off to da nephews. I think I'm just waiting for the set to sell out already.

 

[Apok]

I totally remembered like half of those, as soon as I saw them. Please Apok, help outta brother. Pic of your first TLV, what drew you to it. If you'd like to see some examples, just click on that link from before.

Will do. 👍

 

[yabiggoose]

I picked up 25 made in Japan Tomica the other day. All loose but in decent condition.

 

[a6m5]

Okay, I realize this has experienced serious delay, but I did beat @Cano to it.

My Desert Island cars.

Will do. 👍

Sweet, dude. Thank you. 👍

Looking forward to your post on the lot. 👍

 

[yabiggoose]

I will. Eventually lol. Few multiples.

 

[a6m5]

@Cano Do you think you could ask your friend if he'd be interested in participating in Our First TLV? One picture & what drew him to the purchase? If you can. Thanks. 👍

I will. Eventually lol. Few multiples.

Plot thickens

I can submit another entry to you under an assumed name if that's any help. J/k

Koala Statham. You'll just burn everything down!

 

[Spacegoat]

My Desert Island cars.

I'd almost forgotten about this.

Worth the wait. Killer list. 👍

Probably.

 

[a6m5]

I'd almost forgotten about this.

I forgot about it more than once or twice.

Worth the wait. Killer list. 👍

Thanks! It did take me forever to narrow it down to ten, then the Kyosho Lotus came out of nowhere to knock the RLC Baja Bruiser off the list as I was putting together the post. Crazy.

Okay, I realize this has experienced serious delay, but I did beat Cano to it.

Willing to bet Cano has forgotten about it many times by now.

It's generating interest again, and I'm trying to get started on Part II? Anybody on GTPlanet I can recruit who didn't participate in the first one? Has @Apok bought a TLV yet? @Niku Driver HC ? Anybody?

I was about to turn it down for I have not purchased any TLVs since the police cars, but that isn't actually the case as I just remembered about that Crown Rally. I wouldn't mind writing something again to help you get more page views....


...But I do want to ask what the post subject will be?

"Our Second TLV?"

I don't doubt that.

First time owner only, you silly goose!

Edit: I just remembered someone else: @Ramanujan Do you own any Tomica Limited Vintage cars?(TLV). If you do, would you be interested in participating in something like this?

"Our First TLV"

Keeping my fingers crossed that you do have it & you want to play.

 

[AOS-]

So you got no room for returning contributors for Part II of the story? What kind of loyalty program do you even have! Here I thought we'd get bonuses for coming back.

Jokes.



Anyway, I think I'm back in the game. I've sprung up two older Kyoshos I'm searching deep into the internet for.

 

[Spacegoat]

the Kyosho Lotus

Yeah, that one was a definitely a surprise. 👍 The absence of any Isuzu Bellett's on your list was highly disturbing but I still liked it.

I knew it, you don't actually reside in Canada do you? Maybe right on the border, really close to the United States. Here, I gotta bonus points for ya.... jk jk lol lol

Jokes.

Yep.

Like, 1/64 scale?

highly disturbing

You are such a Isuzu Bellett fangoat.

 

[AOS-]

Like, 1/64 scale?

Not just any 1/64 scale- I'm talking Beads- and not just any Beads- I'm talking the stuff I didn't go for the first time. It's going to hurt, but I've made sure they're 100% jelly-certified so it'll hurt a lot less afterwards.

 

[Spacegoat]

You are such a Isuzu Bellett fangoat.

Yeah, a little.

 

[yabiggoose]

So, here's those made in Japan Tomica I got the other day. Took a while to do this post.

I don't doubt that.

AGH. Screw you both. I'll have you know that I've remembered about it several times... it just so happens that, you know, it's when I'm on the bus, or at my parent's house, or at wherever the heck, and it's like ohdamnIneedtodothatislandthing. And then I arrive home and it's like *finger in the nose*.

Sadly, I'm too immmersed in work right now to promise I'll do it right away, but please dude do remind me in two weeks or so, and I promise I'll at least try to unearth the cars I'm missing.

Also nice money. I mean nice list.

@Cano Do you think you could ask your friend if he'd be interested in participating in Our First TLV? One picture & what drew him to the purchase? If you can. Thanks. 👍

Yeah I'll tell him and pester him for the eternity because if I forget stuff, hell Ahmed is like he has no mind whatsoever.

So, here's those made in Japan Tomica I got the other day.

By faaaar the rarest car you picked up, big envy, I have chased that car for years to no avail. If you ever want to sell/trade/whatever, tell me please.

 

[Spacegoat]

The RX-7's. Damn Awesome haul mate. 👍

 

[a6m5]

Sounds like you had lot of talking yourself into.

Yeah, a little.

No, like really grownup, never quits feeding type (fan)goat.

Nice haul. "American Truck" 👍 My favorites were the Lotus F1 & Supra.

Shameless plug for anyone interested.

I don't see Zombieland Bluray copy(just lost mine ).

Not to take away from other lists, but I am expecting truly unique & Mattel-heavy list from you dude! I think today, we see too many collectors like me who are just all about the Euros, JDM, muscle cars & after mostly new brands. There are exceptions(Yabi just posted his loads of classics, Apok, Harry, etc.), but you are the mother of classic collecting.

I will bug you again soon.

Also nice money. I mean nice list.

Yes, yes & thank you.

Yeah I'll tell him and pester him for the eternity because if I forget stuff, hell Ahmed is like he has no mind whatsoever.

Our First TLV candidates are harder to find, because 1, TLV collectors are harder to come by & 2, every TLV guy said "yes" to me for the first post. I'm running out of new TLV recruits.

 

[AOS-]

Sounds like you had lot of talking yourself into.

I like when a jelly certification on a diecast doesn't expire in 30 days, or 5 years. So you bet lots of thought went into it.

 

[RCKakashi14]

So I headed to a supermarket. Found those Jif Peanut Butter packs with HWs:

No Supers, though.

 

[AOS-]

Can't have it all now.

Also, peanut butter that doesn't have the oils separating at the top isn't legit PB. Don't eat that stuff, guys.

 

[yabiggoose]

Forgot one car.

 

[yabiggoose]

By faaaar the rarest car you picked up, big envy, I have chased that car for years to no avail. If you ever want to sell/trade/whatever, tell me please.

I don't really need two so I guess so haha.

 

[AOS-]

Make a decent dollar. The man really wants it.

 

[yabiggoose]

Not once you factor in AUS to MEX shipping on a ~$15AUD car. lol.

Mint one for $25AUD.

I've got no problems posting, but I'd say postage would be a killrar.

 

[a6m5]

Here's a brand new brand(to me). This is the one I was being mysterious about @Spacegoat

Spoiler: couple moar

More on my blog. @AOS- Check it out for the wheel pic.

I'd say postage would be a killrar.

I think our first exchange was similar, Yabi. You wanted basic Matchbox or something I was getting rid of, but the international shipping from U.S. to Australia is unreal.
