1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Cano]

Mr. Turbo Cano,
Do you have/need one of the Holiday 240Z? Although this picture is older, I should still have two of them left in package. (I know I've opened one and traded another)

Why yes, now that you mention it, I do need one.

 

[commodoreben]

Sure will, but I've been really busy... Send me a list of anything you're looking for, got no time to make up a list of stuff I can offer. Still need to get out on sending my trade stuff for Ben and Cano.

Dont worry about it Medigo. I've still got to box up your cars and send them off for you.

I think this was my first post:

Hai guyz, I'm not about to start collecting or anything, but here is the 200 cars I got from eBay last week......

Seems about right. !

Another tuner JDM is added to my collection:

530 HP at maximum turbo boost of 1.6 kg/cm... with torque of 64 kgm.

Now that's a lot from an enlarged 3S-GTE motor...

 

[photonrider]

A 530 HP Diecast? I need that.

a6m5 - your first post says it all, chum. Not collecting is the best way to acquire cars - judging by the cars you've not collected so far.

Is that the D1 Drift HKS Genki Altrezza (IS300) that I'm viewing?!

🤬!!! I NEED IT.... NAO!!!

Dude, seriously who makes this, Airoshima, Koyosho?

The name of the car is HKS Genki IS220-R...


It's made by Hotworks.

I also have 2 S15s and the RE Amemiya FD3S from the same brand. (which I've posted here before).

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Oh ok. Thanks for the info dude, I'm gonna look it up later. 👍

 

[Cano]

There's been nothing new in recent times. Flea markets run dry and all the other stores have only updated their mainlines. Sorry

don't worry dude, search around. Remember, you live in the land of not-available-in-mexico diecast. You should be able to find something!

It's made by Hotworks.

Hot works rule. I have the Revolver AE86 drift car from them and it has steerable front wheels (Volk TE37s no less) to show it as if it was drifting around. Theya re amazingly well done too, but they are amazingly difficult to find, at least around here

Mr. Turbo,

I think Zach has one saved for me already?

 

[McZachenF1138]

I do. I'm just waiting on more cars to add to your box to make it worth shipping.

 

[Cano]

So, on a coin flip, I won and got the Greenwood Corvette instead of the Porsche 935 from the Road Racer series Andy sent over. Ahmed kept the Porsche. The Vette is already in my shelf gathering dust

 

[Anathema]

*Altezza*

So THAT's what the thing is... I remember it from the PS2 game Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2, but never bothered to look the real-life counterpart up. Excellent.

 

[AOS-]

Come on, Cano... The Greenwood is MILES better than the 935. No contest.

 

[Cano]

Yeah, that's why we flipped it, both of us wanted the Vette. Now to chase down the Porsche and the blue Vette. Wallet hurting here we go.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I do. I'm just waiting on more cars to add to your box to make it worth shipping.

What's it like 3-4 cars? a First Class package shouldn't be any more than $5 at most. I'm ready whenever.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Two carded cars and one loose one.
I'll have a picture of my carded trade/sell cars up this weekend hopefully. Maybe you'll find something.
If not, I'll send it out Monday.

And if you're reading this Andy, I'll get your's out Monday.
You too Shinji, same deal.

 

[CodeRedR51]

It was the 240Z, Fire Rods Civic, and? Sorry, bad memory.

 

[McZachenF1138]

That purple R32.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ah yeah, gonna mark that on my list as having it so I don't buy it on accident...

 

[RCKakashi14]

In 2006, there were lots and lots of 1:64 Hotworks drift cars on sale in small diecast model stores I usually visit.

Now, there is just one store that sells them. And they are running out of stocks real soon. Replenishing them can be a problem, since they are hard to find, plus Hotworks have stopped doing those...

I plan on buying Nomuken's ER34 if I have a spare in my wallet.

Another tuner JDM is added to my collection:

Not normally a fan of tuner cars, but that is sweet. 👍

 

[a6m5]

I like that one, too. What a beauty. 👍

Cars I got in the mail today.

Four cars + two extra detail shots of the GT40.

And if you're reading this Andy, I'll get your's out Monday.
You too Shinji, same deal.

Where were we on that? What I remember last is Two Boulevards(Hakosuka & 510) for two 240Zs, Kool Kombi + ??? to sweeten the deal?

Sure will, but I've been really busy... Send me a list of anything you're looking for, got no time to make up a list of stuff I can offer.

Sorry, I am no good at making lists. We can go ahead with the original trade(Smokey & Bandit for R5 + Gallardo), or just kill it altogether. Let me know!

a6m5 - your first post says it all, chum. Not collecting is the best way to acquire cars - judging by the cars you've not collected so far.

 

[Spacegoat]

Damn you. Who makes the GT40?

 

[a6m5]

It's Hot Wheels, but I have no idea which series it's from(got them loose).

 

[CodeRedR51]

It's one of the HW Racing series cars that's ~$3-5.

Got suckered into a 3-pack tonight. Pics after dinner.

 

[Spacegoat]

It's Hot Wheels, but I have no idea which series it's from(got them loose).

Cool beans. Looks great. 👍

 

[a6m5]

I was sold on the gold wheels! Thanks for the info Jason. 👍

It's been bothering me since I bought the darn thing. You guys know I don't open cars very lightly, but 1) Retro Entertainment A-Team Van looks much better than stock(accurate two-tone paint job for starters) 2) I could swear I see bullet holes(bottom-right pic).

Are they bullet holes, or shoddy paint job? Either way, I take back everything. This van is awesome and I'm very glad I got it. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

This sucked me into a 3-pack. Rear tampos suck though.

 

[Doth1s]

It looks to me like bad paint.
