1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[a6m5]

Few cars in the mail. There is also one TLV sitting there at my post office since something like Monday, but they still haven't set the package out for me, and I haven't felt like standing in line to ask about it either...... Hopefully I can get it when the AmiAmi stuff show up.

Anywho, four cars from today:




Matchbox Premier Toyota Supra with deluxe scar on the hood, brown exhaust & super wide tires.



Matchbox Volkswagen Golf V GTI



Hot Wheels Clover Cars Lotus Esprit



Pop Culture Trix '62 Custom Chevy

Matchbox Premier Toyota Supra with deluxe scar on the hood, brown exhaust & super wide tires.

At first I thought the wheels were offset badly. Then I read "super wide tires"...oh boy.

That '62 is becoming more and more tempting.

Do you even JDM tuning, bro?

But seriously, that Supra is a bit too flash for my taste, I'd prefer it to be stock in lieu of looking like that. But hey, it's special, so it has some value.

Also, a decent haul, but nothing in there that really tickles my fancy, @a6m5. The Supra is kinda "eh", I feel nothing for Golfs, the Lotus is in the wrong colour. The '62 is quite quirky and original, so that might be my favourite of the lot.

And Trix are for kids.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I have that Golf, and 7 others.

Lime green is the killer bee you never see!

That looks to be a real nice casting but those wide tyres though. Why? The '62 and the Esprit look great. 👍

I was kidding, but I just check the bottom and............ it's little bit of both. No horsepower rating.

That '62 is becoming more and more tempting.

I'm still in disbelief that I couldn't get one of those in stores. I like these castings, too.

I have that Golf, and 7 others.

I only recently started liking them. It was $1.40(all 4 shipped together), so I took it. They seem to go for lot more than that, especially in other colors.

I have few Matchbox with real riders, and I also happen to be a Supra fanboy, so I had to add this to the lineup. I'm trying to drop the mainlines, but Golf comes from the right era(personal opinion) of Matchbox, Lotus Esprit....... I don't know what got into me, but I had to have that one, too.

If Trix for adult is wrong..... I don't want to be right.

I've never come across these real riders Matchbox Supra before, so like I told Niku, I had to add it to my collection of other MBX real riders cars have. Other three, I'm very happy with!

P.S. Very disappointed nobody touched on the brown exhaust. I said "touched". Harhar...

Edit: Forgot to mention these:

I've been waiting sometime for these, but......... I didn't think it was possible, but M2 ruined the anticipated release of their Ford Econoline vans. I'm gonna wait until they are released in stock colors(and different wheels!).

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Yeah, I don't mind the black, but bright purple!? Jesus M2, this ain't a backyard hot-rod meeting, knock it off.

 

[Spacegoat]

I touched a hot exhaust tailpipe tip with my right knee by accident when I was like, four? It didn't end well.

Also, I do quite like the black M2 Econoline. The purple one is quite horrid. And you need to get yourself to the post office Shinji, that poor TLV! Just imagine how lonely it feels.

 

[a6m5]

Spacedog's post of the day. 👍

I guess you guys don't mind the black M2 Econoline, but if I was forced to buy one, it would be the violet, or whatever color one. It don't matter, I'm not buying one. I also passed on the blue color, some trade show one, which was about $30. I think they had planned release of the Shelby one? That'll be a automatic buy I'm sure!

 

[CodeRedR51]

My N-Attack GT-R's shipped on Saturday, and they arrived in California on Monday. Craziness. (I didn't pay extra for expedited this time either)

Let's see how long customs decides to sit on them.

At least it'll do better than mine:

That AmiAmi package I've been whining about, it turns out it's been ready since Monday. USPS email service haven't given me update since the 12th(no, not in spam folder), and my local post office have failed to give me a pick up notice for this + the Plamoya package. I swing by there every 🤬 day to check my mail.

@Spacegoat - The good news is, that one package was never lonely, as it sat there the whole time with bunch other cars from Japan.

 

[CodeRedR51]

You get update emails?

I just check on it every couple days or so using the AmiAmi shipping confirmation email and their website.

I almost always go sign up for email notification. This is the first time they crapped out on me, and since all my other package tracking's been silent, it seems to be a ongoing trend as far as I can tell.

 

[AOS-]

I have a Japan Booster order and one form Spain that have sat somewhere in Canada for the past couple of days as well. Something must be going on right now.

I'm glad young me getting hurt is of such amusement.

Yes, good to hear. 👍 Now get yourself to the post office, quickly!

Two frigging days? Dodgammit. Cry me a river, Andy. Mine's been in the U.S. for over a week & a half!(Cali & our state are next door to each other)

I will be armed with the tracking information!!

P.S. It was only funny, because goats still have another right knee.

Edit: OK, email notification seem to be working after all...... at least on the domestic shipments. I may have third package to pick up tomorrow. 👍

 

[AOS-]

5 days at least. T'was a bad choice of words.

Also my February order form Jauce still has not set foot in Canada. This may be a problem. Is the ship like.. not moving or something?!

 

[Spacegoat]

Right, of course!

may have third package to pick up tomorrow. 👍

Cool beans. Just don't wait too long to post the pictures this time, okay?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

The chance of finding Hot Wheels at a toy show is high right?

 

[a6m5]

I'd imagine so......

Also my February order form Jauce still has not set foot in Canada. This may be a problem. Is the ship like.. not moving or something?!

I'm pretty sure the ship sunk.

Cool beans. Just don't wait too long to post the pictures this time, okay?

It will be immediate. Or by the weekend. I'm pretty sure.

 

[AOS-]

I'm pretty sure the ship sunk.

I'm calling Canada Post to mail your parcel back.
So I can drop a piece of turd in there first. :b

 

[Spacegoat]

I'm pretty sure the ship sunk.

Oh, that's a shame...

I'm calling Canada Post to mail your parcel back.

Just redirect it my way. a6 has enough cars already, he won't miss a couple more.

 

[a6m5]

It wasn't the Japanese Tsunami this time. I don't know what the big deal is.

Oh, that's a shame...

👍

 

[AOS-]

@Spacefloat Nah. I'll just sell it to him again. Crafty Business 101

 

[a6m5]

Good news, Andy. I think I found your Kyosho. Now I can go to bed. Good night fellas.

 

[jtl46]

I find when packages come by way of Japan EMS it is pretty consistent. My package left Monday and should be here tomorrow or Friday. Any other method and it is a total crapshoot.

 

[Nessy]

Everything iv'e bought from Japan, seems to take about 5-6 days delivery.

 

[Cano]

Yes, EMS is the only way to go, as John sez.

Also, more dirty cars for you! This one is for @a6m5, I know he likes this thing, but he sucks because he doesn't have an original. And I rule. Except when it's covered by an inch of dust.

Cleaning this thing was an absolute meltdown with all the creases and little places you can't reach but dust can. After an hour with two wetish rags and a couple of toothpicks, the damned thing looks awesome again:

If it wasn't for the random chips this thing has here and there, it would be freaking mint. Look at the chrome on those wheels.

And I rule again.
