1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Found the new F&F Fast Stars set. I feel like a "monster" for not buying the whole set and leaving behind the Mustang and Charger. (Someone out there feeling incomplete)

Fairly tempted by the MiniGT Toyota TRD 3000GT. Any recommendations of where to get MiniGTs?

 

[GTboyz]

All it need was a wheel swap.

Mini GT Porsche 911 Turbo S and Targa coming soon.

Photographing prototype toys beside food is the last thing I expected to see in this hobby.

You have no idea bud. This is tame compared to some people in my country. They took pictures of their pocket cars ON their food here. Mental stuff.

Flexing on my friends what level of Cultured Foodie I'm at.

TLV Honda NSX Type S Zero:

Good thing I didn't settle for the base model NSX that was released earlier.

 

[GTboyz]

Next RLC release. Still in 3D rendering. Finally a proper Foxbody.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Sorry, F8 Tributo. This is the new king of regular Tomica Ferraris.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Finally a proper Foxbody.

This is making me regret skipping RLC this year.

I'm definitely getting this one no matter what. The Foxbody casting has been screwed by Mattel for too long.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Oooh... will definitely grab one.

 

[GTboyz]

HYPE

It won't release on time but anyway. I'll still get one but Mini GT's always release a month or two late...

They'll NEVER get their release windows right. They always have a huge backlog of new models that they keep on announcing, instead of actually prioritizing the quality of a hyped-up model and release it on time.

Biggest issue of MINI GTs are the plastic head and tail light covers, which have a high chance of popping off. Even Greenlight attaches them better.


They always treat this as a race. Like, no one cares who makes (and releases) them first; just as long as they get them right.

I've finally got some new stuff to show here.
First off, I bought two cars off @AOS-.

The BMW V12 LMR from Kyosho.

Goes nicely with its twin that I also bought from AOS years ago.

And the more notable buy was this Lancia Stratos. 1975 Tour de Corse winner.
This model is very difficult to find so I just couldn't pass up the opportunity.

That's all I bought from AOS this time, but I also got a package from Japan today... First off this Kyosho 131 Abarth. Love the car, but CM's only ever released it in two different liveries. Kyosho it is then.

It's pretty nice, but the design is not as complete as a CM's car might have been. Plus the shape is odd, it's noticeably narrower than it should be. They still look good together though.

And last but certainly not least, the entire Colin McRae memorial box nr. 2 (excuse the awful picture).

Surprisingly this box was actually still sealed. I opted to keep it closed so as not to ruin the resale value...

Spoiler

Nah, just kidding. I voted "Yes" on this thread's poll all those years ago and that still hasn't changed. Here are the goodies.

This special colour version is kind of neat, but I would've preferred another "real" car.

 

[RCKakashi14]

As expected, MINI GT delivered on the Porsche 992:

With the other generations.

Could'nt help wading in to give you a like; I'm a sucker for lime-green.

I can't say 'I hate you!'. Anyway, I'm a bit upset that you have all the cars I love.

 

[GTboyz]

2 new upcoming Ignition Model 64.

So excited for the 400R!

 

[GTboyz]

Another hit from Mini GT.

 

[domalorite]

Some additions to my collection. I vowed to never buy anything again from the cesspit that is RLC but recent perusing of eBay somehow led me to buy those.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Not sure if it's just me, but I can't seem to find anything new or good in stores lately. Other than some new mainlines (black Merc, blue Audi wagon, etc) it's been slim to no pickings on the premium front. Wasting my time hitting Walmart stores looking for the white Skyline set and seeing nothing but the Trans Am set warming the shelves. Individual premium cars are limited to old stuff warming the pegs or X-Men cars I have no interest in.

Newest set I was able to find was the van set with the tuner companies on them, haven’t seen the British car set with the gulf Mclaren F1. Seen some new basic cars at Target if I’m lucky but most stores I go to don’t have the new stuff on the pegs and most are empty anyway.

[Gotbeefboy564]

I haven’t seen the trans am set yet or the white skyline one. We still have the one with the Etype in it.​

 

[MedigoFlame]

Drove 2 hours north for the hell of it and checked out some stores. Never knew that JL did an Aston Martin Lagonda.

You actually went and bought the whole set!! Enjoy the ROI!

I can't say 'I hate you!'. Anyway, I'm a bit upset that you have all the cars I love.

I still have some other left overs Apok didn't grab from me if you're interested! I've narrowed down what I'm committed to keeping so I have some loose ends I'm looking to let go of now.

 

[GTboyz]

Probably still Hot Wheels's best R34 release. Clean, simple blue with right amount of details.
