1/64 Model Collectors Thread

I've never seen that. Absolutely beautiful set! 👍

I can't find any info on this (although I don't know how to search the Japanese sites). But it should have been just released as the shop I bought it from started preorders three weeks ago.

It looked just like the Hakosuka Skyline release Japan Post had last year? Sure enough, it was released by them just few days ago. It's sold out already & I doubt they would have shipped overseas anyway.

Japan Booster got few of the Skyline set last year & so maybe I still have a chance at it.

Thanks for the link 👍 Always good to know more of what I have bought and not know anything about it

Picked up few Hot wheels and two M2's at Walmart.

Probably going to be looking around in some more stores tomorrow as well.

Edit:

Spoiler: Aristo Rat pic

I really like this fantasy car. 👍

Tomica Nissan Fairlady Z34 40th Anniversary Yellow Version

 

[a6m5]

Really? Anybody can get this car for free when you purchase $20 worth of mainlines at Kmart, plus small shipping. Now between March something? Edit: This one is only $59 + shipping.

 

[Casey]

Does Auto World models have tire issues like this often? I actually find one and I get this.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Rarely.

 

[a6m5]

I'm sorry, I'm so used to GreenLight that tire looks absolutely perfect to me.

I always have problems like that with M2 cars. Reason number one why I'm always extremely nervous to buy any M2 product.

On the few M2's I have the wheels and tires seem fine but the axle shafts are pretty bad on them.

 

[AOS-]

Are you sure someone didn't stick an M2 in that AW blister and return it to the store?

Have at it. Soon-to-be Evos. Perhaps these will retain some value like the Carisma Lancers people are shooting me offers for.

Even TLVs have tire issues. Over time the plasticizer leaks out of the vinyl, leaving a puddle beneath the contact patches of displayed models and turning the tire tacky on stored ones.

And they melt into and stick to plastic display cases. Ask me how I know.

Few pics of some of the cars i got.

Spoiler

I noticed my older pictures kinda looked better so i used my old phone for these.

AW 1966 Chevrolet Impala

HW Volkswagen SP2

HW Track Day Porsche 935

M2 Auto-Projects 1949 Studebaker

I'm now just going to take photos with my old $40 phone rather than my LG G4.

My Walmart got the new Mystery cars, but of course the Batmobiles are completely gone. I found one weird bag, just one like this:

It's true mystery pack, as the back doesn't show what kind of cars are in it? If just to satisfy my curiosity I picked it up.

 

[CodeRedR51]

My guess is old release before the windows and printed numbers. Edit: scratch that, I see the numbers.

Edit 2: I'll take one of each (minus the Guardians of the Galaxy thing)

YO BUT THAT GUARDIAN OF THE GALAXY THING THO!

Right? It might be Canadian, as it's marked Canada on the back. I did little research on eBay, unfortunately it's some crap fantasy car(#10). If it was #01, it would've been a red Civic. P.S. It's actually from 2016!

Edit 2: I'll take one of each (minus the Guardians of the Galaxy thing)

Looks promising.

YO BUT THAT GUARDIAN OF THE GALAXY THING THO!

Good movie, but I'll take one for my de nephew.

Edit: Bought these tonight + Air Cooled.

 

[AOS-]

I don't know what this movie is, but the ship looks kind of cool. Makes me think of the B-2.. Neo version...

But heck it's got a combination of blue and orange.

I bought a couple Air Cooled off eBay on Sunday and still don't have a shipping notification. Might have to message them...

You should really treat yourself to Guardians. Even if your not into comic book/sci-fi.

Think thats G case if the Ford GT racer is there, apologies if you all knew anyway.

Milano is the penultimate screentime of 2017, this is what the missus collects and she went mental when I sent her that picture earlier, she'd seen the name on the HWC checklist and worked out what it could be before hand. Girl nerd.

The last one of the year is called Ice Charger........anybody know where that may come from.

Oh yeah, more stuff found. Photos later this week. Awaiting mail calls also.

 

[a6m5]

I got this Batmobile for $15 & change(shipped). Bought a lot of four $THs & flipped the rest.

Trend of GreenLight fail continues. Honestly, I could do a whole series on their lack of QC. Latest:

Both of my orders got shipping notification right away, but of course, that only means they printed the labels. I'm in no hurry anyway....

What I was in hurry for, I bought $100 worth of random items from Amazon?(non prime) They've been taking longer & longer to ship stuff, so I've been giving my money to eBay more & more. This latest Amazon order, it's from last Wednesday & it still hadn't shipped. I just put in my request to cancel the whole order. When I did that last, I think they shipped it within minutes or hours(I forget).

They must be punishing non-prime members to make a point? What a bunch of @#%Q$^ Q#$^$#^s. I'm just giving my money to eBay & Walmart instead. @$^&%*^%^%^. 👍

I checked in My eBay, they have tracking numbers and are scheduled to arrive tomorrow, though they just left Texas so I'll be surprised if they do. I never got a shipping notification email.
