1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Sonygamer455]

Lol at you, and at everyone that reference that crap. It was SO obvious that Pascal was just there as an invite and to show off the car. He would never take that thing to a pawn shop.

Aside from that rather obvious fact (Come on, it's an American TV show, 9 times out of 10 there will always be a thing just to add flair and/or drama), it is a pretty crazy for someone to bring a $100,000 scale model car to a pawn shop. Such an investiment won't just go anywhere without some serious consideration...

Indeed, I thought it was a little crazy too.

Still, thanks for sharing that, @Sonygamer455. It makes for an interesting watch, if anything.

You're welcome! I rarely watch Pawnstars, but when I found out that Beach Bomb was going to be on there, I set my DVR.

Well someone at my church gave me one of there 100 hundred car cases and I got a few vehicles with it too!

A few Speed Racer vehicles. I wish I had bought these when I had the chance, I seen a bunch at Dollar Tree once and I have no idea why I didn't get them. I really wish I had done that now, but I am just glad I have some now in decent condition.


1986 Crack-Ups Blind Sider. Another unusual one for me. Never seen or heard of this casting before, I had to look this one up just find out what it is, and I usually already know. Has some chips here and there, but the wheels are surprisingly good. There are some spots on it that I need to clean as well. The door is supposed to move and it is dented on one side and untouched on the other. However I can't get it to move properly.


Quite happy to own these cars!

This. I must have it. Hot wheels jaguar project 7

Not for me. Large rear wheels and that spoiler. Horrid.

Ran across a J case bin at my local Walmart. Went through the whole thing and found a single Escort, and just one Zamac EF Civic. Then went to Target and found the new HW Star Wars ships, bought all 5 in the first release. 👍

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Picked up a matchbox blue Impreza police, blacked out fisker, and a purple dodge a100.

Oh, jeez. That's a quite a looker. Very tempting.

Tomorrow. Have to get into work early and heading to bed right now.

Cool. Thanks. Seeing as I still can't find the zamacs, or the escort. Lol. But I found other good things over the past couple days. Also, hw 3 packs are awesome.

HW mustang, '10 GT 500, 12 custom, GT
Nice. Love the green on the first, reminds me of Bulllet. Falken livery kills it.

Ford Falcon race car-
Both came as basically little bonuses in 3 packs. Not the car I bought the packs for, but still nice.

Camaro, 63 Vette grand sport.
Fine, nice color on the Camaro. Vette sits alittle high in my opinion.

Mercury Cyclone, 57 thunderbird.
Mercury is nice, really like the color. Never seen that shade before. 57 feels like it's lacking something.

32 Ford, triumph Tr6
Love this Ford way better than the other I have. The triumph is amazing in British green.

S2000, Skyline R34, EF Civic
May possibly already have that s2k color.
Cool finding the then and now skyline. Cause I have the then skyline that goes with it. Ef civic looks way better in stock guise than the newer racing one.

New Beetle and SP2
Kinda like the new beetle, it's cooler than most have been for a long time. Sp2 is pretty but I don't know anything about it.

Chevy SS, Chevelle wagon, Chevelle SS.
Didn't have an SS at all, so that's cool. Wagon goes with my mooneyes wagon, both awesome. Chevelle ss looks great, believe I have a nother color of it.

Matchbox Jeep wrangler superlift, Cliffhanger and mbx 4x4
Just cool off roaders. The 2 fantasies are jurrasic world cars.

Best finds

3rd -

Hw infinity G37-
Always been on the fence on if I like this car or not. It's a great casting, spot on. Love the dark red, and the simple tampos.

2nd-

Matchbox meter maid-
It's quirky and interesting. Love it. Grabbed one for customs too.

1st -

Matchbox Alfa Romero 4c-
Really not a lot to say. This is one of my favorite vehicles in the history of cars. Sits right up there with the Miura and Kenmeri for me.

Customs fodder

Very nice set of cars. That RSR looks insane, the matte black just adds up to the badass level. Kyosho is firing on all cylinders!

I have to say, that is the highlight of your post for me. I already love the 4C as a real-life car, but MBX did the incredible job of actually making it look good as a 1/64 scale model as well. It's just done the right way, you know? Between this and the Tesla Model S, Matchbox has gotten some really impressive models as of late...

FINALLY Greenlight comes out with an all white '70 Challenger R/T similar to the one in Vanishing Point. Problem is, it's 1:43 scale.

 

[yabiggoose]

Buy a 1:64 in whatever colour.
Buy a can of spray paint.
????
Prophet.

Already done that, car is in pieces in a box somewhere because I moved on to something else and then never finished it. Just don't have much motivation anymore to do customs outside of wheel swaps & details.

Actually, I have a white Hot Wheels Challenger.

That does look pretty good, too bad about the size, really. I do also buy 1:43 models from time to time, and that one would make for a very good purchase.

People might be interested, lots of Hot Wheels from the past 20 years or so, all $0.99USD buy it now. I haven't bought any as I can't see postage so I assume they won't ship here....

 

[Apok]

@yabiggoose
It's worth sending the seller a message about shipping. Maybe I am lucky, but every seller I've contacted (mostly from germany and france) said they do in fact ship internationally.

Happy birthday to me.
