1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Boulevard series was the bomb. Maybe today's Culture series are the classics in the making....

Nah, Boulevard series is so diverse and on point. Maybe lacking a bit details but my oh my, i love the cars. Not even the latest Eurospeed Porsche can top the Boulevard in terms of detail.

I think Boulevard Porsche might be the most detailed 993 that Hot Wheels has ever released.

Picked up the Greenlight Tokyo Torque Series 2 1971 Datsun 240Z Rally. I'm a fan. Obviously doesn't compare to the Kyosho Beads release (which I hope to obtain someday). Digging the spare tire in the back, similar to how the TLV 1600SSS Bluebird Rally release also has a spare tire in the back seats!

The BLVD 993 is just taillight

Kyosho Beads release (which I hope to obtain someday).]

You gotta go in deep for that one; both at Yahoo Auctions Japan and your pocket(s).


Or you could buy it off me.

How much?

Never was able to find that Porsche. But the '57 Chev and CRX are up there with the bestest Boulevard's though.

You liked that Bel Air? Was it the orange one?

Bummer is an extremely polite way of putting it.

I agree on diversity, but my loose yellow Porsche looks like it backed into something. lol

Yep, one (side). lol

If @shellac10 doesn't want it, I'd be interested in the price, too.

So that RWB Porsche from Hot Wheels is supposed to be shown off at Art of Speed next week. It will debut in 2019 Car Culture

Yep, one (side). lol

You're not supposed to see that!

And sure, I'll put you on the list.... the list to receive a solid piece of poop. hur hur hur hur jkjkjk

You'll be pleased to know that it's still carded.

The key word there being, "almost".

 

[a6m5]

I remember.... or was that @domalorite who had crooked rear tampo?

Yep. Such a cool casting, love the wheels. 👍

True. I have it, but I only bought it because I couldn't find anything else at this Kroger store that have everything picked clean within hours. It ended up being a keeper though(well, until the current purge lol).

P.S. It was extra satisfying to have found the $uper Treasure Hunt Silverado there one time. In their ugly dirty faces, you insider scalper/hoarder collectors! lol

Too bad you couldn't just keep this one carded.

'57 Boulevard and the $uper Silverado? Seems like the scalpers around Japanese Oregon have horrible taste. They leave all the good stuff! Lucky for you, eh? 👍

I wish I could've found someone who likes it a s much as you do. I had sold mine with the lowest regards!

That Corvette on the other hand....hhuuuu!

Motherfu..... *Disintegrated*

@a6m5 The very first TLVs are being re-made for the 15th anniversary of the series. Great news, as the quality of the castings was pretty crude compared to what came later.

This is the third post in a row, where I'm posting something not Tomica releated. Think that might be a new record. Anyway, my borther was kind enough to grab these two for me the other day.

Oh, I'm sure they hated missing out on that $uper TH. It was at the very front on the peg, too.

P-h-a-t, phat.

Much better.

I'm not gonna lie, this looks REALLY good. Your link said the car was 3-D scanned? Wow......

I bought a Pagani Huayra Roadster but it started raining pretty bad as soon as I bought it.

Is that some new innovation? A 3D scan of the actual car condensed into 1:64 scale? That's neat. What car is this exactly? I can't read Japanese.

Not at all, 3D scanning has been around for ages, though it wasn't really used till the 90's/00's. I recall hearing about cars being 3D scanned for use in video games a couple years back and with the technology getting cheaper and more viable I'm certain Tomica aren't the first to use the technology to make scale cars.

EDIT: Polyphony has been doing it since over 10 years ago.

Hello rusty axles.

Whoa momma...

 

[a6m5]

@CLowndes888 While I realize 3-D scan of vehicle models isn't anything new, for what it's worth, this is the first time I've heard of someone using the technology to produce a 1/64. That I can remember.

According to Mr. Tamiya though (plastic model guy), in his autobiography, he mentioned how he couldn't just miniaturize exact measurements to smaller scale, as scale models could look little awkward to the eye. Tamiya tweaked their plastic models until they looked proportionately correct. At least they used to (old book).

These are headed to auction in the next day or so. If anyone wants anything set aside, let me know.

EDIT: The Toys Club trio goes as a set.

That is crazy! If anything, you should be looking to add more to start a fleet of Kitahara Taxis.

I have two TLV Tokyu buses, but sometimes, I wish I had like couple more.........

Spoiler

I wish I was kidding, but I'm not.

P.S. I checked my TLV tires. My LV-N24a, the ladder truck with rectangular roof lights had excellent tires. LV-N24b did have tires turning bit sticky. Checked Shell Tank Lorry, and that one was fine. Blue/white Hino truck I think was starting to get sticky as well. Nissan Diesel(680 I think) Newspaper delivery truck I took pictures week ago, that one had perfect tires.
