1/64 Model Collectors Thread

You are kind of new, so you probably didn't know about the "Edit" button they added just many years ago. j/k



Dodge Van looks interesting. I might get that one!

It was a L case release but I got it for the M case.
Didn't the white M4 have a stripe or is that just for the card art?

Some Biante models...

Such a shame that these aren't made anymore...

I went back to the store... and I "dug" deep into those Kyoshos.

Loose Kyoshos and CM'S, for 8 USD each. All of them are still fine.

And I was close to buy this one:

Kyosho Toyota Soarer. 6 USD.


But here's what I bought instead:

I immediately removed the mudflaps, but the foglamps can be detached and reattched for photography purposes. It can either be a track racer or a rally car!

Here it is:

Pardon for the potato quality. Phone camera. The casting is rather versatile, as it can take on the look of either a race car or a rally car.

That's actually one of the lesser known Group B rally cars. Same class as the Ford RS200 and Peugeot 205 T16. Definitely not a track racer.

So I just realized something. A long time ago, I said that I either wished that they would or thought that they should make a Gran Turismo series, or at least something along those lines. And guess what we now have (at least in the UK since this is the first I've seen of this series)? Yep, that's right. A Gran Turismo series.

I managed to score that RX-7 off eBay a couple of years back. I had no idea at all that the foglamps were removable. Wow!

Awesome find. 👍

Oh don't worry we know. I've got all 8 (uk pegs) but if you can only get one, get the GT LM aka Ford GT Test Car Spec II, it's the nicest and most recognisable/iconic to the GT series.

Bear in mind there are gonna be two Gran Turismo sets by Hot Wheels. One of them is regular cars with GT Liveries and overpriced based solely on the card. The other is a Car Culture/Retro Entertainment set that'll feature new cars, metal/metal construction and rubber tyres, and it'll include the LM55 MAZDA VGT! 🤬 YEAH!

By the way, which is the most easy way to upload pictures from a mobile to this forum? I'm dying to share my 1/64 addiction with y'all!

Probably the "Upload a fire" button 👍

Where have you been, under a rock?

Actually, that one was cancelled.

 

[CarBastard]

Ok, this gonna git gud!

Here's the latest addition to my collection, a 2001 Final Run edition Ramp Truck. The details on it are AMAZING, it's even got detailed cubbyholes that read "Chains", "Tools" and "Spare Parts". Took it out of the blister in an instant and there it is with a Greenlight Hitch & Tow Chevy Van and the 510 Wagon from the Japan Historics set.

BTW, @R1600Turbo where did you see that? I had no idea about that and it still seems some sites are taking pre-orders for both the Retro GT & FM sets

Kyosho Toyota Soarer. 6 USD.

I've been wanting that Soarer. U.S. definitely sucks on Kyoshos.

Yep, that's right. A Gran Turismo series.

You've focused on bikes & trains too long. I'm glad that you are back with the good guys.

BTW, @R1600Turbo where did you see that?

I think just the Mazda was cancelled.

I guess my name must be Patrick then.

It's nice. But I'm glad Hot Wheels gives me the best of both worlds.

Correct. Here is what we are getting:

 

[Spacegoat]

Love that hitch & tow G20 van. Great set. 👍

 

[RCKakashi14]

For 8 USD... not bad:

However...


...this is what I got:

Because Porsche.

 

[VXR]

Love how it gets two cars that aren't even in Gran Turismo right now haha.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Oh, that's right. Biante stopped making 1/64's a little while ago didn't they? I'd completely forgotten.

When eBay sniper bails you out of bid you regret placing.

eBay notificatioin - "You've been outb....."

a6m5 - "Yesssss!!!!!"

 

[CodeRedR51]

Not a bad price on that, considering the free shipping will actually cost the seller like $5-6.

It was kind of a lose-lose, because I totally changed my mind on the set, and like you said, seller would've likely lost money on the sale.

Seller still lose, but at least by 50 cents less.

I share in that experience too.

Two times it has failed me and I ended up buying them. They were both Kyoshos.

 

[GroupB]

That's some good news right there. The previous TLV C10 had room for improvement.

 

[VXR]

I thought it looked so cool that I bought two of them. The open one is now on my computer desk.

 

[yabiggoose]

How disappointing is the door haha

 

[Johnny1996]

Lemme guess... metal body but plastic door? I have yet to see this car in person.

 

[yabiggoose]

Bingo.

Because of Mattel's limit on individual pieces per car, the door is part of the interior.
