1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[GTboyz]

^ I would double check that very closely with an online community.

This could either be a one-off where one is missing a metallic coat (or mistakenly received it), or enough have it that we can classify it as a variation. This is one of the fun things of mass produced toy car collecting.

Keep us posted.

I hate that the photo doesn't do it justice but seeing it from naked eye, I can clearly see the difference. It's like the metallic one is supposed to be for the super version but they slap the regular decal and tires on it.

Tomica Premium Sileighty is a must have:

Proportions a bit off though.

Well that's a turn off for me.

I really don't get why can't they just put these parts, straight from the factory. Side mirrors, spoilers, front chins are a chore to install in a small scale.

Mini GT can do it, they should too. Toyota Chaser without rear spoiler just looks weird to me.

Great haul today.

In my area it would take me months to find all that unless I raided boxes at midnight multiple days a week.

Both fast and furious sets were at different Walmart’s so was the police set. Few stores had m case cars with a lot of Uruss but I didn’t see much in the bins. I found these around 5/6pm.

Just too many collectors/scalpers around these parts.

Same, found no other boulevard cars all the good ones are usually gone like the Agera or Alfa. Dom’s Charger was missing from the fast set with the NSX.

Very hard to see new licensed HW this year but MB’s seem common. The Aston Martin DBRS1 is a nice find with detailed tampos, note though it is a 1/56 scale, large when placed beside a 1/64. But coincidentally a scale partner to the HW D-Type Jag.

Silvia S14 by BM Creations. I love this thing. Working steering, adjustable ride height and custom wheels.

Comparison with Hot Wheels version.

Sup my beautiful doods.

I found some pics of a high-end resin brand producing some small-scale Jesko:

No price is known at this time. Does it look up to snuff if it was a $30 thing?

Any resin model feels cheap to me, no matter how hard you try to convince me otherwise.

Currently on a bid war to get the 100% Hot Wheels Jaguar XJ13. Wish me luck.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother with this hobby. Anyone know where I can get this cheaper?

Drove an hour north to check stores, finally found more recent mainlines.

Our stores have M case cars, haven’t seen N case cars yet, mostly new cars are at Targets I’ve noticed.

New stuff. I don't remember where the E46 come from. The DB5 looked like it came from a wrong set lol

Edit : the DB5 came from this LOL

I snapped up two Modern Classics 22Bs today. Since I missed the mainline release in blue, I was determined to get the premium version.

[GTboyz]

Can't wait for the Turbo version.

Was in Phoenix for most of the day yesterday and did some bouncing from store to store. Got lucky.

Kyosho says hi again:

Oh... it comes with a book. Just to make it seem "new".

 

[Jetboy.]

It has been a very, very long time since I've posted in here. With the advent of the COVID nightmare, I like a good number of others, stumbled onto 3DBotMaker and online Adult Die-cast Racing. Without getting too deep into everything, I made my own track and have a series too, blah blah.

Point of this post was that this sparked my collection habit once again, and yesterday one of my unicorns came in the mail: a true 1968 Hot Wheels Custom ElDorado, in Olive Spectraflame.

And, oh yes, it runs well on my track.

The Civic Si is making a comeback with some minor tweaks:

And...

Try digging through thetoypeddler.com Usually people don't ask for too much, even for premium cards.

Wait, the E46..... is a new casting, isn't it?

Might be the existing Matchbox one from years ago, but re-tooled as an M3? Seems to have the same odd proportion over the front wheels.
