1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[AOS-]

Only these two have my fancy this time:

 

[a6m5]

The full set of Civic's would have looked real cool with it. 👍

I will pay for shipping, let me borrow it for couple of days? You can trust me Jarrod. You can trust me. I'm a trustworthy moth@#%@$^^&

Does AmiAmi still have it in stock? Just a quick thought...

Good price on that HW GT set.

Only problem is, postage to Australia costs more than the bloody item.

True that.

Oh, it's soo cute... That yellow is lovely.
Shame on the cast though, it's not one of the best TLV's, is it? I'd still buy it though. That interior...

I dunno. To me, that cast looks spot-on. 👍

I think it looks good too, but it's been brought up in this thread before. I like it. *shrug*

@a5m6 I had no idea you lied to me. We can't be friends anymore now.

I have some feeling BugZee is just behind schedule in general. Ignition is pushing out a Trueno, but there is still no coloured version of an NSX.

Yeah, I just went by the on-schedule release of the Calsonic IMPUL R35 from April, which was on time. How do you eff up my name & I still get notification? How does this work!?

@a6m5 here's your Skyline.

So fine.... Supra, too. Must-haves. Ford GT's a game time decision.

Why oh why have they made the Supra with that orange windscreen?
Well all three cars are good, can't wait to get my hands on them!

I don't know if you are kidding, but I like orange, too. I thought I was alone in that though.

let me borrow it for couple of days?

Funny, I was going to ask you if I could borrow all the Civic's.

Spoiler: Pretty please?

What the hell? 👍!!

 

[a6m5]

I was checking out the Yellow Submarine in this vid. I am in love.

Funny, I was going to ask you if I could borrow all the Civic's.

God Jarrod, you are getting really good at this.

What the hell? 👍!!

I got carried away mang.

 

[Spacegoat]

God Jarrod, you are getting really good at this.

So, that's a yes?

 

[Apok]

These Kyosho Alfas look pretty spiffy.

They're quite tasteful too, especially that red 1750 (?). That Montreal looks nice enough to the point where I could pass it as being a 1/43 model like my black Minichamps model. Yes, I think it looks that nice.

How much did those lovely snakes cost ya, if you don't mind me asking?

I was late to the party because I totally forgot when those things came out so had to pay a premium.

$10 for the Montreal and $16 for the 1750.
Probably could have gotten them cheaper if I looked around for good bidding opportunities, but I went with the easy route with buy it now listings. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

8 Euros for the Montreal, 14 for the 1750, huh...? Ok, not the cheapest prices for a 1/64 model, but it's not quite brand new TLV pricing either. Still, it pays to buy them new if you want them in pristine condition, that way you can earn more dough when you feel like getting said dough...

...if you ever want to let such pretty snakes loose, that is.

 

[Apok]

I'll tell you this much, the lot I paid for today is a better deal by at least a factor of 10. To Andy's misfortune.

Ooh, shots clearly fired towards Canada's border, can't wait to see what will bring misfortune to Andy now that you've said that... Any teaser tips?

Also, I think at this point, you can come grab the rest of my CM's off me. I'll even pitch some Norevs. Down for it? Up for it?

Seeing that post Like, somebody clearly hates me so much I feel sorry for them.

These Kyosho Alfas look pretty spiffy.

I've been watching several 1750s, but then I backed off when I found out Autoart has a white one coming.


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

Anyway, some random person bought one of my MBX Tesla. I was hoping to generate some money from it and I did.

After all the shipping and seller fees accounted for, I profited $1.28. And that was only because I charged more on shipping. The final shipping fee cost twice the profit margin on the item itself. I waited 2 months just to make $1.28. That's a mighty fine wage.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Funny story about eBay shipping, Of the 4 things you get ranked on for selling, my account is ranked lowest on shipping costs which boggles my mind because I very rarely charge more than what the USPS charges me to ship an item. Cheapskates out there I tell ya.

 

[AOS-]

Everything on mine appear to be 5 start. Communication is like 4.9/5.0 because I priced the shipping incorrectly and refused to fork out $50 out of my own pocket to ship something. I'll gladly hold one red negative rating proudly if I could save $50.

 

[a6m5]

I totally support @R1600Turbo 's argument on his shipping. If any cheaper, he'll likely be losing money on many packages he ships.

Random Story Warning:
I've had very smooth transactions with Global Shipping Service on eBay. First one was bit glitchy, but everybody got through it just fine. That was to Germany.

This last one was with German member also, but over a week later, I'm still waiting for payment.

Auction Ends(1st day), eBay sends buyer link to pay for the item. It's stated in my auction that I ask payments made within one week after end of auction.

Couple days later, I give buyer heads up that due to Memorial Day weekend here in the U.S., if they paid me within 12 hours, I can ship it before the three day break. After 12 hours, I won't be able to ship for three days straight. No reply.

Six days later, I email them that payment is due tomorrow, please don't forget. No response.

Eight days later, I file claim with eBay. I get response in one day. Exact quote:

"Hello,
I Told you that there is a Problem with the payment.when i try to Pay i get the Information"before you can Pay please ask the buyer for postage payable.please send me a Bill with the Price for all together..i Need to Pay but what should i Do more?"

I told them that on international shipping(global shipping), eBay handles shipping & checkout. I have zero control over this postage situation, also checkout.

Maybe it's a glitch, but I think it's suspicious that first person who claims that he can't checkout due to a checkout error also claims that he's been contact me when I don't have anything from him in the inbox in the email, or eBay.

As for the star rating system *checks eBay*

Looks like all 5.0 except 4.9 in communication. For the record, I do reply all messages & questions, even weird ones. While as a buyer, I wouldn't want any unnecessary emails for something I bought on eBay, I have started sending out "Thank you", "Your item will ship on XXXday" emails. I didn't think I cared about having "4.9" stars out of 5, but clearly I do. lol

So, that's a yes?

*Koala Statham gif, your house in the background* jk

 

[CodeRedR51]

You're nicer than me. I had an international one recently that I asked for payment twice within a week and when I still got no reply, I just cancelled the order and re-listed it. Don't have time for flakes.

 

[AOS-]

Nani- Carp Streamer sold for $37 USD?! Should I be cashing in?

 

[Speedracer8218]

Upcoming Bluebird from the Track Series, it was mentioned by t-hunted that these are not the production wheels

 

[yabiggoose]

So bloody sick of all the JDM, especially the Datsun.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Don't think it's gonna change anytime soon. There's obviously other releases, they're just not shared here as often.

I just follow eBay procedures. By following through, they end up paying in the end, and/or get marked by eBay for non-paying. I have people with non-paying on their record blocked from my listings.

Nani- Carp Streamer sold for $37 USD?! Should I be cashing in?

I told goat this story, but I had a guy ask me to let him buy it, he'll pay 4 weeks later. I decline, and tell him that I had it listed forever, it'll still be there in four weeks. It sold the next day. He wanted to buy it for the lesser price though, $37 was "Buy it now".

I like the wheels, but I'm weird.

So bloody sick of all the JDM, especially the Datsun.

Don't get sick of stuff you won't see anyway, yabi. I've been able to find the 180SXs from time to time, but they are never there next time I look. 510, they don't last more than few hours on the pegs around here.

Traveled sone 15 minutes after class to a Walmart I've never been to, found a blue Tesla, the real kind- not Hot Wheels, paid with a prepaid credit card I got from a rebate. Zero dollar purchase.

 

[a6m5]

I did pick up one car for myself. It's that blue 2015 Mustang that has eluded me. This Mustang, also the blue NSX, did Hot Wheels finally start using the Matchbox tampo machine? Placements are actually precise.

 

[AOS-]

did Hot Wheels finally start using the Matchbox tampo machine?

ooooh you hot wheels fan gon' take that!?



JKJK.


To be fair, Hot wheels can only screw up so many times, right?

oooooh

 

[CodeRedR51]

I might be getting rid of more Greenlight stuff including some Malibu's, Chevelle's, maybe some GTO's and possibly some old school police cars. If anyone is interested let me know, then I'll put together a PM convo with some pics on Sunday.

 

[a6m5]

Dibs on Talladega Nights Chevelle. If you actually have it.

ooooh you hot wheels fan gon' take that!?



JKJK.

oooooh

It's the truth though, right? You expect Matchbox tampos to be right on the money. With Hot Wheels, it can be a shock to see all tampos placed correctly depending on the casting.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I only have good stuff.

Got this a few days ago:

And yesterday afternoon, got these:
