1/64 Model Collectors Thread

So you went for the R92CP instead of the R89C... Nice. I would get the R92CP as well.

Well, I got it for just 20 USD. Yeah, a Kyosho race car priced like that is one hell of a bargain.

I decide to buy a few M2 Machines today since I've never bought any have any. I was trying out the manual mode on my new phone for these pictures, think I'm just going stick to using auto mode though.

M2's are so cool. Only gripe I have is their scaling, which seems too big to be 1/64. I used to think $6 was too much for their premium lines, but at least they haven't increased the pricing since then, it's still $6 many years later.

Really digging the muscle cars. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

My only gripe with them are the body lines on car with opening doors, etc. And the quality control is usually crap. The M2 Drivers cars without opening features are better, IMO.

By my personal observation, quality's been consistent for last year or more? I do agree on the opening doors. Not a fan. Heck, I don't even care for opening hoods. I wish they'd divert the cost to added detailing, or higher quality parts.

 

[Casey]

I agree their not the best quality, the doors aren't really that straight on some of them other than the GTO it seems to be the best out of all of the ones I bought.

Also just got this Kyosho 993 in the mail.

When I first begun collecting, like, five years ago?

All I know is that you started sometime after this post.

I don't collect

 

[a6m5]

I'm thinking about stop collecting though.

That looks pretty slick, nice colour too. 👍

Wait, does that mean I can have all of your TLV's?

finally flipping to a new chapter in life, huh?

I want your cop Kenmeri. You can sell everything else to the goat.

Will Monopoly money be okay a6?

 

[a6m5]

You guys are funny mother truckers, but srsly, I'm going to attempt some wheelswap projects first, then likely dropout.

And then...

Just so I can impress Jarrod when I give him my cars, I ordered these this morning.

Cool haul. 👍 Interested in seeing what the GL GT-R looks like in police trim.

👍

I own boardwalk, Shinji! I'm loaded!

I'm really getting my hopes up for this one.

Not.

Where could we play online? It'd be fun(sore loser).

 

[Spacegoat]

I'm really getting my hopes up for this one.

Not.

What, because of the casting itself? Or because GL's quality can be very hit or miss?

And give you an opportunity to pull this face when you win? No chance, dude.

Both, big time.

I'm too classy for stuff like that, Jarrod. In your face!

 

[RCKakashi14]

Some NISMO stuff from Kyosho.

 

[AOS-]

That Z-tune R34 looks like the most money of them all.

 

[Spacegoat]

Red 400R is still my pick of the bunch. Though the black GT3 is a close second.

Both, big time.

Understandable.

I'm too classy for stuff like that, Jarrod.

No comment.

Damn... I want them all! I don't have a 1:64 variant of the R33, R34 and R35, so if I'm stupid enough, I'll buy the 400R, the GT3 racecar, the R34 Z-Tune and the R35 Nismo. Sounds crazy, doesn't it? I've never been so fanatical over a Kyosho set...

 

[CodeRedR51]

I also want them all.

Too bad I don't have the budget for it.

 

[RCKakashi14]

800 Yen is expensive for a 1:64 Kyosho. Not even the McLaren set was priced like that.

 

[a6m5]

800 Yen is expensive for a 1:64 Kyosho.

In perspective, my local price for GreenLight is $7. $7 on a good day is damn near 800 yen. GreenLight doesn't begin to compare with the quality of Kyosho.

Granted, there is no blind box game with GreenLight, but still....

Kyosho 1:64s from typical blind box sets cost 450-500 Yen.

 

[AOS-]

Prices go up, my friend. They've been going up past 500 yen several years ago.

Had no luck finding the latest Matchbox releases in Cardiff. Hopefully when I go back to work on Monday they have the MX5 at last.
