1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Edit: Why are there rubber tire Gran Turismo cars on eBay? Are they the ones that leaked from factory early?

Anything listed on eBay from Malaysia is potential stolen goods IMO. Avoid like the plague.

 

[Spacegoat]

You won't be saying that for long if you let the car gather as much as one speck of dust...

Dust?

Oh, that's not really an issue with Kyosho's.

Spoiler

I'd hate to be cleaning the thing anyway, I'd be so scared of accidentally catching the wing and breaking it or something.

No, no, red is clearly the best because mine is red.

155 buddies! :tup:

White still rules tho....J/k

 

[CodeRedR51]

So might be buying a whole box of the Gran Turismo cars. Best I have found on eBay is $34.88 shipped which translates to $4.36 per car. Anyone else found better?

Boys. Boys. Do not fight over this. Both red and white are the best.


But red and white together is bestest.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the Mystery Machine?

Got it for $9.50 (free shipping)

@Ken lives man! He lives!

I didn't think it was released yet. Thanks!

Good job using the protection, Jarrod. You don't want bunch of 1/87 scale Alfa/Nissan mix or something running around.

I pulled the trigger on four car set. I don't even know what other two cars are, but it had the Ford GT & Skyline. I think I paid..... $16 shipped? *checks email* Yeah, $16. I submitted offer for $15, he countered with $16. I'm pleased with the guarantee that I'll at least have one of each now. I bet you I will never see those two cars at my stores, let alone any GT series. Just unlimited supply of Star Wars & Pop Culture rejects. 👎

But red and white together is bestest.

Andy wins again.

Starting to wonder if the earlier Ecto models from Retro Entertainment had whitewalls. Starting to wonder if I actually even have any Retro Entertainment Ectos.

 

[CodeRedR51]

@a6m5 the complete set is 8 cars.

Hello! Sorry guys. A lots being on. I'm in the middle of a move to Wyoming. I haven't had much time to post. One thing though, Wyoming's selection on 1/64's is MUCH better than Colorado's!

I believe they were going by the pic below. Tho after looking at all the variations of this cast I liked this one on the right the most so I pulled the trigger. Very impressed with the details of these entertainment series so now I'm waiting for the re-release of the Knight Rider and the A-team van

 

[a6m5]

How's this for sniping. What a lowlife. It was sort of a game, but it really was what I was willing to pay(TLV Civic).

Spoiler

I could've cut it closer timewise, but my heart wasn't set on it absolutely 100%.

Yeah, I knew it was around there, but my only targets were just Skyline & Ford GT. Two other cars are bonus, I figured I paid $8 a car.

Will they have internet there? I hope your move go smoothly!

If I do have it, it's the one on the left. I like yours better. Sweet. 👍

Bought the last two UCC Mercedes 190E's from Japan Booster the other day. Got them yesterday (along with a few UCC R31 Skylines). Exceptionally good detail for being given away with coffee. Very impressed.

I might take some photos if I can be arsed, lol.

Touche. 👍

Which Civic was it?

 

[a6m5]

Which Civic was it?

I forgot to mention it, but you are one person who should've known. Only TLV Civic I didn't have in my collection = Yellow.

 

[Spacegoat]

but you are one person who should've known.

I probably should have but I couldn't recall which one you were missing. Sweet score! 👍

 

[a6m5]

Thank you! I think now I have every one of the high profile mainline TLVs I've wanted.

 

[Speedracer8218]

The HW gods were smiling upon me today. Fresh J case at Target with these hiding in the pegs, also got a CRX (finally!) and the silver Outlaw 356. No Batmobile super of course but that would be pushing my luck

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I found some j case cars yesterday at Walmart, only missed the Firebird, Camaro cop car, Honda monkey, and BMW 3.0 csl.

 

[Speedracer8218]

I guess it's time to go nuts for those of us in the US as there are photos popping up on Instagram that Japan Historics have finally hit Walmart pegs

I still can't believe these two are mainlines. They're so much better than the BMW long cards, which are, quite frankly, pants.

Given their popularity I think it's just a matter of time until real riders of these casts come out

 

[MedigoFlame]

Seen J case cars, but no 3.0CSL. The new Matchbox 300 looks good.

 

[a6m5]

Is it even possible to beat MBX bang-for-buck? Wow.

Very glad to hear that Japan Historics are finally hitting pegs. I didn't check today, but you can bet I will check again tomorrow.

I just saw this RLC Silverado ad. Checked on eBay, and carded RLC Silverados are reaching $300 territory. RLC BRE 510's are breaking the $200 barrier. Vintage Racing BRE 510? I think $180 range. RLC Super Nova gasser was over $100.... *checks eBay records* I paid $23 & change on eBay. August 2013 2014. I wish all hot wheels cars jumped in value like these guys.

eBay record also showed TLV red Civic which I paid $62 & change. That wouldn't happen today.

And you wanted me to open mine. Not happening.

Wow. Cash in on that Silverado! You can get yourself a high-end AutoART.

I had sold that and two other boulevards for $5 together last month. Why and how? Well... let's just say there wasn't enoguh demand.

Well I only bought it cause I like it and I'm not to serious about collecting the most desirable ones really, if I see it and I like it I buy it. Not into making money off them I just like having them.

I get that. What I'm trying to say is I have stuff you may want.
