1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Now, that LM should be white!(just ignore me). On Countach versus 512BB, it's Countach. Every time.

Just like a6!

Just funny looking, thank you! I am old though.

Hey, shipping was only $4.75!

I was kidding man. $4.75 sounds very reasonable.

How did you reply so quickly with just one arm?

Butbutbut you can't get what I got in stores!

Same old story.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

It's been long enough that that could be a legitimate response.

I've been in college, checking up on the local stores and usually finding the same old stock, and lacking a good camera to take pictures of the cars I did find. So now I basically buy a whole bunch and then post them when I get home at the end of the semester.

If I bought cars off of eBay, I would be posting a lot more frequently. Anyone want to send free cars my way to get me to post more?

Don't worry, no matter how unfrequently I post (my last post in here before yesterday's was what, over four months ago?) I still check up on you lot regularly to see what crazy antics you're up to now, and the awesome die casts you all bring in. If it goes like it has been, my next post with cars I've picked up will be in early May.

It's also worth nothing that with this last batch, I now have over 500 cars in my collection! 👍

That's cool, glad you're alright. I know you're busy, but I was wondering where were you .

And congrats on the 500 cars 👍.

Walmart Finds! (sorry for crappy photos, I can take great photos of loose cars & single packs, but not groups)

That SuperSnake is nice, I wished that HW didn't do that green, the paint doesn't go with the gold wheels. But perfect for trading a car, maybe a 2000GT $TH?

You guys like warmth? It's 38 degrees C down here today (100.5 F) Is that warm enough for ya?

Damn the $uper is nice. Lucky. 👍

Lucky . I'll take that as long its not 110 F and higher. Man, Australia, the Philippines, Hawaii, Dubai and Mexico seems perfect for the winter.

The US got those hot ones, just none in this area. (Yet)

This is what's available to me in a relatively short distance:

x1 Target
x1 Dollar Tree
x1 99 Cent store
x1 Walmart
x2 Walgreens
x1 Big Lots

It's all about timing. You guys can't just sit around and wait for new cars to hit. Gotta stop at the stores EVERY DAY. Hell even go to Walmarts after midnight. If you ask nice enough they may let you open boxes on the pallet if there are any. If not, go to stores early in the morning. All my $upers lately have been pure luck. But I'm sure I'd find more if I had a car and access to 10x more stores.

Yep that's true, but like you, I don't have a car and I have to rely on stores that are around me that are close. If I did had a car, then I'll be all over the city.

My first buy of the year:

Kyosho 1:64 Ferrari 512BB:

Nice! 👍

Bother! I just watched a Torpedo go for $2,650,000 at Barret-Jackson and I have decided I want my own!

Anyway, these should be coming my way in about a week via eBay:
Well not these specifially, but these exact cars. Apart from the Majorette Golf, that's red.

I'm not going to say what I paid unless you ask.

That Viper..... 👍

Oh yeah, well you probably don't live in the desert where it's supposed to be warm.

Tell me about it. I mean, come on. We should be seeing 40-60 F in the Southwest. Even Cali should be in the 60s!

It's in the 30s tonight.

In the 70s, if you're a rich person and want to buy a seriously fast car, you are faced one hell of a dilemma:

Countach? or 512BB?

Hmmmm, a wild MR Ferrari that's a targa or a wild Lambo with futuristic design and a spoiler and MR design........ Countash first. 512 later .

Before buying that white Kyosho Ferrari 512BB this morning, I have been staring at this one at the store. After buying that white 512BB, I am contemplating to buy this black 512BB LM the moment I walked out from that store, while eating lunch, and even during taking a nap. I finally decided to go back to that store which is just a walk away and grab it before anyone does.

It's such a real beauty, and it is way sexier than an FXX.

Looking at its size, I would say that it can engulf another Kyosho 1:64 if you put beside it. Heck, you can compare its size to an HW or a Matchbox casting!

Hell! Cancel my order on that 512BB! I want this one! This car is freakin' sleek, boxy and sexy, love it. But does it come as a tagra? 👍

Aren't Berlinetta Boxers strictly coupes only?

Anyways, there are 6 512 BB LMs created by Kyosho. 3 are red (one of them has a livery), 1 white, 1 black, and a blue one with a livery with yellow rims.

Yes they do.

But only the 512BB that are for the roads have it not the racing BBLMs.

Thanks, I'll add the BBLM to my list, want mine in red.

Haven't seen a targa version of the BB, even in the internet. Such an interesting subject matter.

I like the 512BB in GT5. I use it for 500pp Seasonal Events.

Good luck finding the BB LM Kyosho 1:64 Kyosho. Even the store where I buy Kyosho 1:64s comes up with new ones RARELY. It's just that at this time, they have lots of them in stock, and I might return tomorrow and probably get a Porsche 993 Turbo or a Porsche 959.

 

[$miglo]

Love Poland when comes to buy HW
So much better then UK

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Are Kyoshos worth their price? They look like expensive Hot Wheels too me.

 

[CodeRedR51]

What part of Arizona? I'm going to be in Phoenix this weekend, thought it wouldn't be quite as cold as here haha.

Phoenix. Might be warmer this weekend, but not much. High 30's at night, low 60's during the day. It's been low 30's and high 50's here lately.

Teh detailing, authentic wheels on rubber tires, separate pieces for headlamps and taillights most of the times, and also detailed interiors and sometimes undercarriages, make them worth their price pretty much.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Lamley just posted these from Wheel Collectors. Want!!!

[CodeRedR51]

Tempting to make some purchases, but not going to pay x2 the retail price. I'll wait for them to become readily available and with that, cheaper.

 

[MedigoFlame]

The $10 for the Skyline and Datsun are asking a lot. Being in Maine though, I have doubts that people would go crazy over them up here. JDM fans are scarce.

 

[Cano]

So Hot Wheels beats me again to it. I had a Hako already painted silver. First the Chaparral Camaro, and now this one. 🤬

Yeah they're just taking advantage of the rarity right now. In MY opinion, stores on eBay shouldn't be allowed to sell higher than retail. But that's just my opinion, which doesn't mean anything...

That's more of a slate gray or gunmetal than a silver...

 

[AOS-]

Gunmetal doesn't have the sparkles

 

[Nessy]

Just a suggestion, no-one appears to have done a custom with front arch deletes, in my opinion, that would look killer along with silver paint and rear flat black arches and wats/mini wheels.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Gunmetal doesn't have the sparkles

It could if you add sparkle to the paint.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Huh?

 

[Apok]

He's talking about the Hako.

 

[Nessy]

Huh?

Excuse my crappy pic.. was referring to something like this:
(1/18 Kyosho)


[EDIT] Correct Apok. 👍

 

[McZachenF1138]

Oh.



I thought that, but figured I'd post it anyway.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just browsing eBay for Miata's I don't have. Found a bunch that are harder to find, but the guy wants $8 for standard shipping.

I sent a car out this morning, with tracking, for $3.65. Some of these people are nuts.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Got 4 cars at a Meijer a 2012 viper, a boulevard F40, a AE 86 corolla, and the BAT, also got Long gone semi Hot Ones at Target.

Not a custom, but here is Kyosho's version:

[EatMyRB26]

I have a few in the garage if anyone wants them I can send them out to you.

Will post pics in awhile.

 

[Nessy]

That looks superb jtl46. 👍 amazing level of detail for a 1/64. I'd still be interested to see someone do a HW custom of one though (maybe keep the single headlights, intercooler and bib), even if it wouldn't look quite as good as the 1/64 Kyosho.

Cool Accord BTW. 👍

[McZachenF1138]

Thanks to Kakashi and his words of wisdom, I just purchased not one - not even two - but three 512BB LMs for the microscopic price of $17 shipped.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

A surprisingly inexpensive Bulgarian Matchbox

I've thought about collecting these (Bulgarian matchbox) but they are impossible to find in displayable loose condition and the mark ups for carded are usually silly. (Just like Leos)

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ha, this is awesome.
