1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[AerodyManiac]

Is this a 635CSi? MiniGT os something else?

Looks like inno64

A quick Google search on ”BMW 6 Series 1/64 wide body” suggests this to me.

Yes that is correct.

Edit: The eBay page you've linked shows the E34 Touring I bought with an opening bonnet and sure enough, it does. Just like the real thing! Wow wee! Who needs to buy 1:18s?

Quite like those Mini GTs especially for the price they go for... P34, FL5 and Bentleys were local Marketplace pickups, the others from a semi-local hobby shop which will financially ruin me.

Lovely 1:64 F1s for today:

Wrong car but the McL gives me 2005 Germany Kimi tyre fail vibes looking at the rubber 🙃

Had I known Hot Wheels were making these I still wouldn't expect to find any in the wild, so today was a good day in that regard:

Other finds from over the past few months - a mix of Hot Wheels and Matchbox:

Best bargain was the Toyota Team Transport, the last one on the shelf and reduced from £18 to £8, until the barcode wouldn't scan. After the till operator had a brief conversation with her manager and found it had already been removed from the system I was told "just have it". Didn't need telling twice.

Having a 4Runner pull a Supra is pretty amusing. The towing capacity at most is 5,000lbs. Still, I need to find that since I have all the other 4Runners they've released.

I’ve accumulated quite a few models since I posted last. Hopefully I can get photos in a small enough size and posted in the course of this week.

 

[lilcat89]

Here is everything that was in the bag that I previewed last week. I will do individual pics at some point as well as a couple of other additions from this week. With the exception of a very few models, I really don’t grab Hot Wheels that often anymore. I usually stick to MiniGT, TW, and Auto World now.

@lilcat89 is that a Sauber C9/C11 on top of the purple MiniGT 911GT3R in the 2nd picture? And if so, who makes that, because I need it.

 

[CMGMS]

If I try to buy this place, it costs us 800 dollars here.
How are the prices there?

Sauber C9, yes. Hot Wheels Team Transport series. The engine cover comes off as well. It’s actually one of their best imo.

@CMGMS Most of them ran between 10-25 USD. A few like the 037 and Pilot Escort were more. This is also been over a span of 12 months. I’m lucky that I have a very good Diecast shop close that I check twice a week as well.

Managed to get myself a 911 Rallye Dakar today, not the Super Treasure Hunt, unfortunately. (The 911 Dakar Treasure Hunt has a brighter green)

It doesn't really matter, the 911 Dakar is one of my favorite Porsche's of recent history.

Just got the Matchbox MC12 a few hours ago. I assume the shop I got it from was fresh in stock because I did see a MB 911 Cabriolet there too (which I didn't bought). Scale wise, it's slightly smaller than the Tomica Enzo which is at 1/62 scale. Yet, it's actually fun to put them side-to-side:

However, the MC12 itself felt very light, and the the stock rims are screaming for it to be replaced with something larger. Although they did a good job on the decal budget for the front and rear.

I have the old HW one slightly used.

I keep seeing Hotwheels at the 7 Elevens across the land. Most of them I have no interest in. Recently I saw a Lotus Cosworth Cortina and I almost bought it. However, I’m not a collector and these have no value to me other then sentimental value because my mum drove a Ford Cortina

I’m sure I should start buying these models for prosperity, and maybe a possibly financial gain.

As promised, the first part of my photo dump. Starting with Poprace and MiniGT race and road cars.

I am by no means a collector. I really only buy the cars I like. There are some people that have to get every single car, no matter what though. I’ve also pretty much stopped getting any Hot Wheels ones.

I’m sure I should start buying these models for prosperity, and maybe a possibly financial gain.

There is very little money in them, unless you find the special ones and those are very rare. It’s a giant rabbit hole to go down.

I only recently started collecting model cars, and have settled on Mini GT 1/64 as what I want to mainly collect.

I got some Amazon Basics Organisers, which are great for storage, you can get 19 in each one:

I have collected the occasional other brand, here's a photo of a Pop Race Eva RT NSX GT3 alongside a couple of Mini GT Silvias for a chrome paint trio, with them in a little 1/64 diorama.

Recently got this AO Racing double pack which was slightly expensive but so, so worth it in the end because those cars are more and more desirable/hard to find in recent years.

 

[toastet]

Had a Roxy in my delivery too!

 

[Spacegoat]

This thing arrived in the mail a couple of days back. Bit on the pricey side but couldn't resist.

And some Hot Wheels for a change. Been a long while since I bought any.

I was contemplating whether to get the AMG during the Super GT round back in June. When I saw the price being sold, in which the JLOC Mini GT was slightly higher than the AMG, I went for the latter. Then I watched that red JLOC get overtaken by the Goodsmile AMG later in the race..

Been meaning to post this for a while now, but I got this from my brother a few weeks ago:

He had bought it and was looking to resell it, so I bought it off of him since I liked it. It's not very often I get something like this, so it's nice to get another!

 

[ScottPuss20]

I finally found the 300ZX Team Transport set!

I also found these:

My ideal modern silhouette pair finally realized.

Thought I'd share a pic of my favourite 3 Mini GT GT3 cars that I have. The Bentley is #284, which is getting very hard to get now, I got the last reasonably priced brand new copy that was available to me on ebay (there are quite often copies in the US that the seller won't ship to the UK). The Lambo is #645, again it's getting rarer, but I was able to get a brand new copy at a reasonable price. The Corvette is the recently released #854.
