1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Maybe they go too fast, needs stronger arms holding side mirrors up....

 

[LongbowX]

Hey, I don't like cross-contaminating the threads usually...but I would really be grateful if some of you could break the tie in the Model Competition poll we have going on at the moment. Thanks!

Went to a model train show with a friend today and got some nice stuff. Pics are in the spoiler below. All here except for a 1:87 NASCAR car for a friend totaled $25.

What about 35?

I think 35 right now is a very competitive price against BugZees, Kyosho and Tomica. Unsure what TLV base prices are generally like these days.

The cars will cost around $32 Australian dollars if the MSRP is going to be $24 US. Plus postage, I would be spending $44 MINIMUM. Hardly competitive by my standards. If I only had to spend $35 Australian, I would totally take the offer. Then again, if I purchased two with the one postage rate, I would be paying less than $40 for each item - but still more than $35. To be honest, it's not much better than TLV pricing.

Tarmac just posted these babies:

I think this is is correspondence to IG as I know IG was working on making a Supra (likely the Civic too) for a future release anyway, and I don't recall Tarmac ever making a Supra in their previous scales (could totally be wrong).

I'd definitely be buying the Supra.
Also, I checked out prices on the Tarmac Works website. They're quite reasonable, and I think I'll purchase some today...

Bought the damn "Batmobile".

 

[Apok]

Thanks to @a6m5 I also bought stuff from ebignorijp. Sadly I missed the Lancia 037, boo!



Look at that crooked wheel, oof!
I only noticed it after taking the picture, but I've managed to fix it afterwards.

Again, forget the cars. Give me that highway diorama!

Aren't those Aoshima Formulas sweet though? I haven't opened mine yet, but I thought the Subarus would be little bit better. Evo, I figured it's mediocre, but for the price & CM's no longer being in business, I wanted it while I cans still get it. 👍

So cool, but I think it's defective. Traffic's going the wrong way....

I must have that LB Porsche...

I want to see what this Land Rover business is about.... and maybe that Skyline. If it is one.

 

[a6m5]

I'm hoping the price's reasonable on the Land Rover. Not a huge fan of the rest of what they have. R35, Civic, Porsches(don't hit me Kakashi lol), Ford GT, etc's a meh for this collector.

And the taxi’s about to clout the median.

But dawg, that mystery car between the Landy and Skyline...

You're freakin Japanese, it's going the right way!!!

Kinda interested in the Land Rover and the Porsche's.

 

[domalorite]

You're freakin Japanese, it's going the right way!!.

I can never understand why people drive on the right either!

Don't know if people know this, but the MiniGT have left and right steering wheels versions. I preordered the Civics with the steering wheel on the CORRECT side

Chevy Malibu amirite.

You're freakin Japanese, it's going the right way!!!

I never told you, but it's because my people can't figure out the correct side to drive. That's why I'm still here.

And guns.

North American. 👍

And the taxi’s about to clout the median.

When Asian taxis aren't cutting other cars off, I think they are practicing.... 💡

 

[domalorite]

Good to know North America has come to its senses and steering wheels are now on the right

 

[GTboyz]

Okay ya boobs, Toy Fair 2018 is coming up. Mini GT posted the following:

OMG i must have that Ford GT. Hope it comes with Liquid Blue.

And finally that R32 skyline seems to be a must have.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Porsches(don't hit me Kakashi lol)

And also... I would get those Porsches with steering wheels on the CORRECT side as well.

Tell me about it. Weirdos.

Good man. 👍

We'll be arguing about this until the end of time. 👍

Also, you're still wrong.

Got the globe travelers set from a Walmart today

 

[CodeRedR51]

I almost took a photo of my Walmart today. It's the typical "after the holidays and all the pegs are empty because the store is too lazy to restock" scene.

My stores are the same too. No dumb bin either for most Walmarts too. No cars and doughnuts and Japan historics 2 to.

 

[GTboyz]

Honestly one of the best casting from Hot Wheels.

 

[AOS-]

Real scoops and mirrors? Dang.

Nah i detailed the scoops.

The second scoop and the mirrors are real though.
