1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Oh my god that hot dog car holy crap! That just made my entire week right there. That is great.

I had similar reaction when I saw it on the pegs.

Need to find yourself a HW Oscar Mayer Weinermobile and have a race-off!

I have that one, but it would suck on a track. Hot Dog car is a track car.

Especially that the spatula/base is metal.

I didn't realize that. Awesome!

2017 Speed Graphics - Nissan 180SX. Wasn't going to get this... but then it was so readily available....

I actually saw this today. After getting mine on eBay few weeks ago. Not that bad though, eBay seller charged me just $3.50, shipped. 👍

Priceless. 👍

Getting a higher price for the set sucks, but how's the models' quality? Usual mediocre GL quality, or good GL quality?

I love that movie also, and the quality looks alright from over the packaging. We'll know more after I open it!

I found this Racing Champions Ricky Rudd '32 Ford yesterday while cleaning with the help of my nephew. Or rather, he found the box it was in but I found the car itself because curiosity killed me.

 

[a6m5]

That is bad ass. I love this combination of 30's car with what looks like a NASCAR livery. Very cool. 👍

I did post couple of cars just now. One's from this weekend, other from last week:

Spoiler

Hot Wheels Street Wiener

GreenLight Ford F-100

Bonus shot with the F-150 from the Gone in 60 Seconds Hitch & Tow set:

I believe what they did with the whole line of cars that casting was from, was take the real livery and put it on the car just as they would a normal old stock car. I don't know what the series name would be though.

Loving that F100.

[Aerocoupe]

After nothing but crap at Target in the past week, I finally caught a break as I was lucky enough to get first dibs on a fresh P case as it was still in the process of getting put on the pegs.

Also found some oldies at a local flea-market the other day.

[Johnny1996]

I stopped at a store to pick up some supplies for washing my three wheeler and out of curiosity, I went to check out the Hot Wheels just a couple aisles over. They had a bunch of 90s cars for some reason but nothing good, at least not by my standards.

@Aerocoupe Really liking that Little Debbie truck and both the Hondas and RX-7s. 👍

2017 Bugzee - 2014 Super GT Champ whatever series Raybrig NSX

Point of this post: go give your money to Bugzees so they can make more 1/64s that look this good.

 

[a6m5]

I was really happy with the wheels on the NSX. On their GT-R, it was mostly really good minus the waterslide looking decal on roof + nasty looking wheels.

Blog post I did on this one.

Edit: I almost forgot. I had to report this one to eBay. Hot Speed "Speed & Furious" Bugatti

 

[yabiggoose]

Lmao nice Veyron SS.

 

[Spacegoat]

"3 available/2 sold." I feel sorry for the two people that bought one.

 

[AOS-]

That Bugatti looks better than the Hot Wheels version. I'd buy that over the smooshed-faced Hot Wheels.

 

[RCKakashi14]

So VGTs have hit the major toy stores in my country...

Too bad I can't find the blue Alpine VGT (even though it lacked the rear wing as with its in-game counterpart )


Take note, whenever one buys a Vision Gran Turismo car from Majorette, this happens:

 

[ScottPuss20]

Yep, yep, yep, yep and yep
Nah, the only cars I'm interested in is the Mercedes, BMW and Renault. All legends in their own right...

 

[GroupB]

Duplicates headed to the block.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Who else is in besides me?

 

[GroupB]

Does it come with the mandatory blown-out muffler?

 

[AOS-]

Does it come with a catapult that launches mini parcels over the fence?

 

[Johnny1996]

Does it come with whatever device they use to damage packages?

See Andy's comment.

I'll be getting one. I'm a sucker for working cars. I recently got one loose, I think by Matchbox? I'd love to post the two side-by-side.

 

[GroupB]

The packages are damaged long before they ride around in those little trucks.

Next level Greenlight USPS marketing:

Every Greenlight USPS van will be shipped in damaged cards. Only the Green Machines are in mint condition.

I know, I kid.

Next level Greenlight USPS marketing:

Every Greenlight USPS van will be shipped in damaged cards. Only the chase versions are in mint condition.

Best idea you've ever come up with. 👍

I always thought they had a hydraulic press or something concealed in the back to damage the packages and the catapult was just for extra measure. Guess I was wrong.

I'll probably be getting one too, because why the hell not?

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Wow, this mail van thing really got all people speaking, haha. I think I'll join the bandwagon;

Does it come with a UPS livery which appears after peeling over the US paint, because of iffy quality standards...?

Joke aside, it's a mail van with a mailbox, I wouldn't mind having one myself. At the very least it's cooler than the giant vans and bikes Portuguese mail services use... 👍

 

[AOS-]

But there's one question no one has brought up yet...

And that's whether this one can surpass the release by Matchbox. Quality obviously; not whichever one has the better parcel cannon.

 

[Johnny1996]

Does anyone here who collects Greenlight Hitch and Tow sets have any ideas or suggestions about storing them outside of their original packaging? Typically I use tackle boxes for individual 1:64s but obviously that won't work for the HT sets.

From Dollar Tree yesterday.
