1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[a6m5]

Thanks for the heads up, J-Money. 👍

I went with the silver & gray for the Skylines(or GT-Rs, whatever). All cars cost more now. Between the Skylines, this, Australian Crown(👍) + cool Choro-Q's they have coming out same exact months, my wallet will be much lighter in February~March of 2015!

Choro-Qs on preorder:

These premium Choro's are expensive, but man, I just couldn't say no.

Edit: Man, Tomica's really taking page from the Hot Wheels playbook. At a quick glance, it looks like another Seibu Keisatsu police car. This car is actually from another police drama(probably more popular, more grownup), Taiyo-ni-hoero. I'm certain they used an existing casting.

I actually liked this police show lot better than the Seibu Keisatsu, but I don't remember a single vehicle from this show, so I'm probably passing on this Toyota Crown.

You got into Choro-Qs too now? They make great dashboard decors. Or fridge magnets. Or cabinet knobs if you're into the kitschy stuff.

I just secured myself some more 911 GT1-98s and GT-R R32s. I just hope the seller is able to ship internationally.

 

[a6m5]

I have some Choro Q, but they are all old. All my "new" Choro Q orders are still pending(two will be shipped this month!).

How low can they go for, do you know?




(not so) edit: looks like my Minichamps from Malta, and my Fanta Promo Ford RS200 are at my post office. Giggity.

So I just checked the tracking on my Super Datsun. The estimated delivery date was sometime next week based on the snail shipping advertised in the listing. He shipped it on Tuesday. It's now sitting in my mail box. I wasn't expecting it so soon so I didn't check the mail after work tonight. Guess after V8 Supercar qualifying I'll walk over there and get it.

Thanks for the heads up, J-Money. 👍

Oh it's no problem, I've been checking AmiAmi everyday ever since Jason posted the pics of the Nissans. Was not expecting them so soon!

Definitely excited for the upcoming TLV. Japan Booster puts aside one of everything now for me. Hooray.

They just told me another package is coming. Seibu Keisatsu vol.15, LV-N95 a&b Toyota Mark II, and some that I don't know about...

I need to do another TLV feature. Datsun Roadster? I thought I had done the 117 put I haven't. That too.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Woot.

I just realized how much money is in this photo.

 

[a6m5]

@jtl46 Mark II, I had on preorder as soon as it was available. Feature on Toyota sedans might be interesting, too. In Japan, Toyota Sedans in white. That was the market standard. It'd probably bore the Americans to death.

How low can they go for, do you know?

I'm not sure. On Amiami, base models seem to go for $7~8, but nicer "zero" series are like $14-ish?

Giggity.

Family Guy rules!

Was not expecting them so soon!

Me neither. Fast!

Nice display rack! Maybe should place small price tag to remind yourself. Lolx.

I thought I was never going to be able to collect them all and to be frank I didn't even know that I will be collecting till date.

#3 Blue, #15 Blue, Unmarked Blue, #2 Green, #13 Green, #6 Red, #something Red, Unmarked Red. There's a LOT of them.

Everytime I browse the Choro Qs section I always say to myself they'd be great to have so I can turn them into pieces and reproduce their wheels/tires, then put them together again. Then I see the prices and I laugh at myself.

Kyosho Toyota Collection up on eBay. In case the link don't take you to kayanxdd's second page of 1/64s, that's where you'll want to look. The Truenos and 2000 GTs are getting a stack of bids already.

So the star wars cars are hitting Walmarts in Canada at the moment. I guess they are $6 each.

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

Also, a couple notes. First, there's a new Dollar Tree going in the shopping center next to my apartments. Patiently waiting for the grand opening. Also, been hitting Target all this week to see if they would get more Q case cars in. Walked in last night and the pegs were all full of Q stuff. No Datsun wagons to be found, and there was one peg where a single car appeared to be missing. I can probably guess what it was. There was a Cloak and Dagger (or whatever) treasure hunt hanging, I just glanced at it and walked out.

$6 a piece. That's a little steep.

 

[CodeRedR51]

$6 a piece. That's a little steep.

Well that is Canadian pesos, so they might be around $5 in the US.

 

[Dagger311]

$6 a piece. That's a little steep.

That's more than an M2!

By the way, I may have a job soon, which means I may be posting some M2s and more detailed models than hot wheels.

Not a single Datsun over here... yet. But there are reports that they are already hitting other parts of the country, a guy I have on CDM's Facebook recently found the $TH and regular version hangin' one behind the other, the sombich. He lives far away, though, so I'd guess it's just a matter of time. BUT I WANT DEM NOW DAMMIT.

Oi, dude, another thing, In the end, what was the loot for moi in your past saturday's Tucson rundown? :0

For you? Can't remember, maybe a couple cars I think? Kombi and a wagon?

Hey- I linked you to kayan's Kyosho 935s. You should've join the auction because they only ended around $26.

I went and looked all the way to Malta to find these Minichamps no one went for. They're on diecast-zone.com also for $26. Quality comparison? About the same. Proportions vary between the two based on a blog post you can google up on.
