1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Jumping the queue on Supra diecasts...

Have to admit that I'm not the hugest fan of the actual car but the model looks the goods. 👍

Let's just focus on Cano for now....

Fine with me.

I guess @a6m5 has bought another dozen of the yellow version to go with his whites?

👍

I hope you're not talking about underwear...

The wheel rims and better tampo design make it look sharper.

I am so turned off by those perforated wheels. Sorry.

Now that is a must have!

I expect they'll be on sale soon, if not already, but the head of Gazoo Racing gave this one to me personally!

Nice! Was wondering how you got it. I haven’t seen photos of this or being mentioned anywhere.

Awesome sauce.

Looks like I will have to purchase most of my Auto World and Greenlight from the internet now.

TRU was pretty much dead years ago...

They can't expect to sell when competitor like Target and Walmart continually have lower price ranges overall.

Well if they don't stock their pegs like my Walmart, they're not much better. We haven't had any new mainlines since before Christmas.

 

[GTboyz]

TRU is dead? the 50th Anniversary Hot Wheels set will have a TRU special, wonder how that will go.

Nobody can restock as fast as Walmart if they're the ones the quickest to empty their pegs. (and selling for the lowest price)

I don't know about your TRUs but we still had '14-'15 things.

I check twice a week. There has been nothing new. In fact they just loaded the empty pegs yesterday with bent up Camo and Star Wars cars from a dump bin that's been around for ages.

Hey mang, if you were a store owner and ordered a bunch of these toy cars that aren't selling, wouldn't you think twice about ordering more of the same toy cars? Mind you these people probably group all these as one entity unlike fanatics.

My walmart hasn't had any 2018 mainlines at all, but they did get the 50th anniversary Zamac set

Thanks!

Now to sell some other models in my collection to make space for those two...

Just a heads up, the two 2017 Porsche LMP1's from Spark's 1/64 line are available for preorder in AmiAmi

That white Skyline(along with red/black), same from Jarrod's garage was something I chased for while. 👍 Also, this makes me wish I was still collecting from @iceprincexxx 's tip:

How cool is this?

Well if they don't stock their pegs like my Walmart, they're not much better. We haven't had any new mainlines since before Christmas.

It wouldn't surprise me if they are already on the life-support(i.e. no money to bring in/distribute new inventory). I feel for the workers, but I heard that they couldn't find any buyers for the chain. Does not sound good.

What a shame that you're not collecting anymore.

Saw those Spark models yesterday. The Porsche 919's look cool but I was a little underwhelmed with the Continental GT3 castings last time. Really can't be bothered at the moment. Pass.

@RCKakashi14 might be interested in these.

Really hope they release that to the public! Looks good.

Awesome sauce.

Making me kind of miss my real life XJ Cherokee... Picked up the last release of that in silver.

So, what's the deal with Kyosho Beads? What's the difference between Beads and original Kyosho? Anyone knows?

A bit late on this (I’ve been hesitating whether to reply to this) but...

Judging from the Beads Porsche 911 GT1 1998 I have, the major differences between Beads and normal ones are that Beads come with antennas and painted rear view mirrors. Originally I thought that Beads also come with brake discs that are not featured on normal ones, but the normal 787B also seems to come with brake discs, so I’m not entirely sure on that one. A worthy mention is that the windscreen wiper on my 911 GT1 looks so delicate and detailed, it seems only possible with photo-etched parts.

Of course, if you’re talking about the Kyosho Original line, then I don’t really know.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Still haven’t seen the new mystery models with the “special” ford gt or any hot wheels JDM car from the G and F cases like the ADVAN 180sx and the blue old skyline that was the super treasure hunt.
