1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Nvrrespected]

Been looking at the news about the Alfa Romeo 4C. Didn't realize it was already out! Also, didn't realize there was a 3rd gen MR2 model by HW. Picked up the 240Z and BRAT CC's. No 510 though...

Good grabs! Where'd you find the Alfa? Must have it! Try toys r us for the cool classics. I have had awesome luck there with the premier lines. Found the supreme hero's line today

My local TRU carries nearly zero Cool Classics... I found the Alfa at a Walmart...about an hour away from home. Although I was working out of town, so I had a reason to drive that far.

Yes, nice. 👍

Also, not entirely sure why but I'm digging on this Matchbox as well.

This is what I love about Matchbox, they come out with some really interesting quirky utility vehicles. A year or so back I picked up a crop sowing machine, I mean who at Mattel thought of doing that one!

 

[Nvrrespected]

Matchbox - Morgan (can't remember which one currently) and Ford F100 panel.

I love the Morgan. Just for the fact that it's such an unexpected car. I think they're gorgeous and unique.
The Panel is super cool too, and the regular pick up was iconic.

Hot wheels -
Mini Cooper Challenge - I don't love minis, unless they're rally minis, which this is. It's awesome.
"Custom Mustang" - it's really cool and gold and obvs a mustang. But weirdly I can't find any info about it on a wiki or anything. Also it's oddly heavy. Feels like a metal base.
Camaro Police - this car looks so much better as a police car.
06 Civic - it's weirdly cool. Not my favorite civic, but I oddly like the purple. Flames are whatever, but the detailing is Good. Even has speakers in the back window.

And finally

I found the Matchbox Supreme Heroes!
I only got this one today, because it's the one i really wanted. The others didn't interest me before, but seeing them, I want them now. This one is still my favorite. I can't wait for more cop cars now.. and I'm not even a fan of cop cars.

Took this in the rainy parking lot when I bought it. I think it's a cool picture.

Those things are not worth the price they ask for them.

Why so?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Why so?

Because they are only a few minor decals and some rubber tires away from being a mainline.

They're only 3 bucks. And I didn't much care for them tiill I actually saw them. The explorer was the only one I was super hyped on until then. The tires are weird though. The rubber isn't quite as nice as rr rubber

GIVE ME THAT ALFA!!!!

If the rubber tires were decent, maybe. But those things are impossibly bad.

And if it had a metal base.

Eh, I'd make do with just decent tires, but I can wholy see your point 👍

Some of you might be interested in this.

These Heritage series cars look quite good. Sort of a return to the Garage/Boulevard cars.

 

[Spacegoat]

I went for the white Town Ace myself but in does look great in blue too. Sweet model. 👍

Pics of the rest of the stuff?

Off T-Hunted. The only other thing was this:

The releases will alternate. Like batch A will be Real Riders, then batch B will be redlines, etc, etc.

 

[AOS-]

That is the most Hot Wheelest thing I've seen in a long time.

Isn't it just? I like the hare splitter, but that one I'm not sure ill get.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I'm gonna assume the heritage series will be Walmart exclusives?

 

[Nvrrespected]

Doubtful. I'm expecting they'll be like the cool classics, which I've found at Wal-Mart, target, Kroger, and TRU. There's not been a single thing about them being store exclusive

 

[Cano]

Dear God I want that Greenbrier thing.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Dear God I want that Greenbrier thing.

Yes!

I already like these FAR better than the Cool Classics.

I went to my Walmart this morning and for the first time in months the pegs were full. I figure that I was lucky and got there shortly after they put them out. I finally got one of the Ford Transit.

I also got a Fast Gassin' Treasure Hunt and I got my very first Super Treasure Hunt the Pass'n Gasser.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Damn you guys and your Transits.

Seen way too many of those Fast Gassin's to count, left them all behind. Even found a couple in a bin at the store near my work that had been well picked through.

Trade me a fast gassin. I'll give you like 10 transits. Lol

A good one too. Congrats on that. 👍

 

[Apok]

Got more stuff today.

Kyosho Miura P400 SV

Not gonna lie, the lines are all sorts of wrong.


And another thing. A bit out of character for me, but I got an Isuzu Bellett

It's actually a kit by Dydo. I've never seen one of these before.

Neat!

 

[yabiggoose]

@Apok I think @a6m5 got one of those DyDo kits...

That Miura... I love Miuras, but that just looks way off, for some reason. Not Kyosho's finest effort, it has to be said.

As for that DyDo kit, it's really interesting! It's like one of those Bburago kits, where you can build a car from the ground up and such. Never though that Japan also had things like that, and it is pretty neat that they do. And the Bellett is lovely, which helps a lot with the kit's charm. That Mazda R360 Coupe that can be seen on the list in the last picture really interests me...

@Apok I think @a6m5 got one of those DyDo kits...

Really? I never saw it, but it is curious to know that someone else owns a kit like that...
