1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[RCKakashi14]

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.

For $17, that's what I call a steal. For that money, you can buy a single red Ferrari 1:64 Kyosho here! Especially the Enzo GT Concept models!

Consider yourself lucky.

Ugh guys don't get me into Kyoshos. Some of the Japanese and Chinese stores in LA that sell random crap have them but they're super overpriced (like $20+ each), but seeing what they go for online it's really hard to resist them...

Guys, Milezone got R5, Hakosuka & 510 wagon in stock. I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking.....

And Taku, don't. Don't resist.

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

I've yet to own one, but it's only a matter of time. They sure seem nice in the pictures!

All are in good condition and have been sterilized using rubbing alcohol. See one you like let me know.

Nice selection of cars. 👍

Well done!

Ha, this is awesome.

Here we go again! It's cute!

It's best to get them online. Plus, in HK, 1:64 Kyoshos are affordable.

Kyosho 1:64s are like a drug, buy one, and you crave for more until you get so addicted to it. Though it can be a very expensive investment...

Well, that was 🤬 up....... So I'm checking out with three Boulevard cars at Milezone.com: R5, Hakosuka & 510 wagon. During the checkout, they can actually just swipe the car off of your cart. 510 sold out as I'm trying to figure out their check out system.

By the time I got to the order submit button, number of items in the cart indicated goes from 3 to 2. I go back, 510 listing is completely erased. I canceled the whole order. I should be able to find Boulevard cars in stores anyway. 👎

I'm still pondering the three F40 GTEs for the same price as well.
Now I just wait four...



...months to get my three BBs.

You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you this, but I very nearly called that Roadster cute as well, albeit in this fashion:
Awh, it's so cute!

I was wondering why I didn't see the 510 Wagon on that page.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ditto. No Datsun, no order.

Yes, Kyosho does some amazing stuff. Here are the Kyosho posts we have done so far at Lamley, and we will be doing a lot more. The 599XX's and Toyota 86's were a couple of my faves.

Daboxtoys has become the exclusive Hong Kong dealer for Kyosho, and has a really good relationship with them. They are a Lamley partner so we are working on ways to make them more accessible to North American collectors.

I'm not gonna lie, I feel betrayed..... Once you put the frigging thing in the cart, unless it times out or something, they shouldn't be able to just nab it out of your cart at the checkout!

Boulevards are easier to find though. I hope I find at least couple of each. Is it just me, or Hakosuka's meh? 510's color IMO is a disaster, but casting looks nice. R5, again, why that color? God bless Hot Wheels people. I don't get it.

I would like to get Wheel Collectors to lower their prices just a bit, but apparently they sell a ton at that price point. You can buy the whole set for $41 which includes shipping, and they will give you 10% off if you mention Lamley...

I find it convenient that the Fiero is $3.99 in their store, but the "hot" cars are $9.99. I'd rather wait.

-----------------------------

Couple things, first: Someone might be interested in THIS bad boy.

Second: I know where a couple of the black, Ferrari 599XX Speed Machines are if anyone wants them. $5 each.

Where?

 

[McZachenF1138]

I want one. It's the only color of that Speed Machine I like.

 

[a6m5]

Us two got dibs.

God dammit. A cliffhanger, then he takes off.

Auto parts store across the street. They have a Mars Rover too.

If you can get me one, toss it into the pile???? I can send PayPal, trade, or both, whatever works.

I don't even remember what you have set aside for me, or if you still do.

I think you have a few cars. Once I get this car I'll throw everything in and get you a total.

You had some things for me, right? Can't remember.

 

[a6m5]

Awesome. Thanks Jason. 👍

P.S. That Super Treasure Hunt 599XX you have on eBay? Some dude outbid me by 9 cents. Watch me 🤬 with him.

*Edit - I was gonna bid 1 cent more, but it wouldn't let me.

 

[McZachenF1138]

For you Jason, I currently have:

Metallic grey Dropstars R32 Skyline
Holiday Hot Rods 240Z
Team Hot Wheels Fiesta
Blue multi-pack TR6

Ordered the R5 and Hakosuka. I hope they don't get left out while I'm gone this weekend but USPS is usually pretty good about that.

 

[CodeRedR51]

For you Jason, I currently have:

Holiday Hot Rods 240Z

Blue multi-pack TR6

That's all I need. In fact, I bought the Fiesta because I forgot you had it.

But I'll take it off your hands so you're not stuck with it.

 

[AOS-]

Can I get one of those 599xx Speed Machines as well?

edit: If Jason doesn't want that TR6, I'll take it.

 

[Cano]

I just spent the last two hours taking pictures of stuff. Hyper-posts coming up.

You can arm wrestle one of the other two for one.

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.

Yep the car is beautiful. The targa makes it a harder choice when you look at the Countash and Mirua, who are hardtops, but that wing on the LP500 👍.

And yep, I need some luck on finding these cars myself. One day I'll get one.

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

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

Hearing you guys working with Daboxtoys to bring Kyoshos to North America is going to make collectors and new Kyosho collectors (like myself) very happy. But I hope it's not a small selection like Tomicas, because there's alot of cars that I want in my collection from Kyosho.

I'd maybe even pay to see that :0 YouTube please.

 

[AOS-]

It could if you add sparkle to the paint.

What kind of man wants a sparkly gun?

But-but-but...I got you a red truck!

Forget AOS, Jason, he's a foreigner! Yeah, I'm a foreigner too, but I live here!

P.S. Can I use two arms?
