1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[AOS-]

Nuuu! Someone wanted that green Focus more than I did.

Also waited too long to grab a handful of cars.

edit: oh hey, Redline collectors, how much would you reckon a neo-classic RLC car goes for? I've got my eye on this spectraflame red Shelby Cobra... because I'm going completionist on said casting.

That's a unique looking one, in a good way. I finally ordered the "Hall of Fame" Shelby Cobra last night.

Any fans of Siku are going to need a moving truck to haul all the jelly in store for them. On vacation in Colorado...noticed a massive flea market

where 95% of people where hispanic and selling tools, produce or sports stuff. Was a bit discouraged, but then in the "garage sale" section, I came across this guy.

I thought I talked him down, but he hoodwinked me and actually charged more than his posted price! Perhaps he spoke with Cano beforehand

Either way, the last laugh is mine when you see what I bought.

Been wanting one of these for a while, so happy to find it in store, and such nice detail

That is very cool. Nice grab!

On vacation in Colorado...noticed a massive flea market.

Hope you're enjoying it! I just got back from a two week vacation. Took an extra suitcase, empty, for any cars I would buy. Yeah...filled it up after like 4 days. I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow.

I stopped by my magical antique mall today and he had a whole bin full of 2000s THs including several 2005 black-hubbed '57 Chevys.

I'm definitely going back when I go back home this mid-week, but this is what I got in the mean time:

$13. Actually, all his THs are $5, but I only had $13 on me and luckily that was fine with him.
My girlfriend got the Bug and IndyCar.

Just lucky you stopped collecting...

Kyosho 1:64 TVR Tuscan S:

Quick question: how many Kyoshos do you own? It must be a huge collection, and each one looks good

Man, I love that Kyosho TVR Tuscan. Looking at it makes my Matchbox TVR of the same model look like nothing!

After buying that Kyosho TVR, I saw these before I head out from the mall:

Needs more Pagani

I have forgotten to list my green Huayra

Post fixed.

Still needs more Pagani

It's quite a good garage though

So, I've trough my boxes of Hot Wheels cars and this is the sitrep:

Now I've got around 20 models (I had 150 models or so). Most of them are lost, wrecked, in my grandma's house or stolen by my friends (we were 6 or younger)

Of these 20 I've got 10 in one piece and I mean in one piece (the Z3M Coupe is crushed with a door missing, the Jeep has missing doors so as my Defender, without counting the missing wheels.

And there is some nail polish on them like my Enzo or the Z8 or the Porsche 911 Carrera 996 or the C3 'Vette convertible, others have cement on them like the CL600 or the broken wheels (not missing) like the F1 or the 288 GTO.

In fairly good condition (just a few lacks of paint) is the Ferrari 360, a '35 Caddy', a Ford Thurderbolt (that's what is written in it) a Ferrari 550, a Porsche 959, a PT Crusier mint, a Porsche 356 and two Beetles and one of them is mint.

It appears my favourite car has disapeared and I wonder the ugliest cars endured the most.

Note: countings may not be correct

Needs more Pagani Subaru

FIFY.

FIFY.

Maybe a nice Justy is in order

The Alfa Romeo 8C is a new model for 2014:

 

[RCKakashi14]

Well, the only Subaru that Kyosho released is the BRZ set. I found it in the store but costs a whopping 40 USD


Oh, finally... the Alfa 8C is out. I thought it was cancelled especially that it was listed in the Speed Machines once.

Absolutely gorgeous! Not as nice as Kyosho but .

Thanks for sharing, R1600. 👍

I got a Toyota GT86 for free from Toyota GB's Facebook page

I was looking for the BRZ too, but as you said. The price was steep.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Nice to see that Alfa will debut with the best color combination that has ever appeared on a car.

 

[SVX]

Maybe a nice Justy is in order

Am I the only one who would actually buy that?

 

[a6m5]

Love Justy. That police Land Cruiser, I've passed up on eBay. I can't justify another TL Vintage purchase of the same cast.

Just lucky you stopped collecting...

That Alfa Romeo Jason posted is going to be the last one I'd buy.

My detour took me to Toys R Us on the way home, I'm glad it did. Too bad the restock of the Boulevard(what I really wanted) were the same old stuff.

 

[AOS-]

I'm going to release an Illustrious of the Alfa before they even make a white recolour. Just so I can say I had a white one before it was ever made.

 

[a6m5]

White? How about the red!?

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

The Alfa Romeo 8C is a new model for 2014:

Well, he's officially on my HW 2014 list right about now. 👍

But wasn't the Alfa 8C in a mainline series around 2008 or 2009 in yellow?

The 8C was pulled out at the last minute due to licensing issues. It was intended to debut in the first batch of Speed Machines line.

Awesome, great colour too. 👍
