1/64 Model Collectors Thread

@a6m5. Have I told you how much I hate you? Geez.

I'm amazing!

Guessing that's what the "A" in AOS stands for?

@a6m5. Have I told you how much I hate you? Geez.

Don't h8 the collector, h8 the game.

P.S. How do you tag people? Just add "@" in front of name?

 

[AOS-]

Close. The A literally stands for Andy.

Sore Hoser? Sounds like a blister. Have some fake planes:

 

[a6m5]

I still prefer cars, but damn..... amazing photos. 👍

P.S. Can anybody tell me which series or set that S'Cool Bus is from? I did a quick search on eBay, but couldn't find one like it.

Yes but it never notifies me when someone does it.

In any case, I got a note in my mailbox that I have a package but the apartment office is closed this weekend so I can't get my 917k until Monday.

Yep. 👍

Figured as much.

 

[a6m5]

@Spacegoat: I hope this works!

Yes but it never notifies me when someone does it.

Weird. It's working for me, as far as I'm aware.

In any case, I got a note in my mailbox that I have a package but the apartment office is closed this weekend so I can't get my 917k until Monday.

You only waited I think over three months, what's another three days.

 

[Spacegoat]

@a6m5. It sure did. 👍

 

[AOS-]

Closed for the weekend? Someone here could possibly steal the bronze medal!


Also, check that you didn't uncheck the corresponding notification via Alert Preferences.

As others have confirmed - Yes. As soon as you type in the @ sign there will be a whole bunch of names suggested depending on the letters you type after the sign. Try the @ and type 'ph' after it, and you will see.

The member will be immediately alerted (unless they're pretending to not notice for some reason or as AOS pointed out have disabled the Alerts.)

Also do kindly check your hate mail about recent showing off. Please and Thank you and all.

Some great photo work there, Andy! Nice wing machines, too.

See how hard some models work?

You need little construction workers to go with the vehicles.

I opened my RLC SS Express.




Along with my Custom Mustang, it has instantly become one of my favorite hot wheels. I love these little cars, but very few actually puts a smile on my face.

@a6m5 wait, you got 2 of the Porsche 917s?

 

[a6m5]

I got two of everything, except the Drag Beetle, which I had no interest in at the time....... before I knew how much they were going to be worth. Oh, well. I hadn't yet joined RLC at the time anyway(they sold out instantly I believe).

See I thought you had to be a part of RLC to buy any cars from them, so when I found out you could without being a member I jumped on the GT40 but missed the Porsche. Honestly have never seen a drag bus in person, but that would have been a nice one to have.

I didn't care much for Drag Bus when I first entered this hobby, but it has grown on me to become one of my favorite castings.

These are the only two of mine I can find pics of:



I have couple more really cool ones & highly recommend this casting.

I'd like to use this opportunity to rant about photobucket again. Their search capability has been just useless for weeks now. I tag my photos for quick retrieval, but search no longer works. Thanks, glitchbucket. 👎

What a week.

To start off, I don't think I put a pic of this up, but my last reward car came in:

Next, Wednesday night I swung by the store to get some food for the (then upcoming) winter storm. They happened to have a new dump bin out, got some goodies. The Alfa and Porsche look pretty nice, I was able to get the "mud tire" rover that I passed on last week, and found a couple Kombis, they are definitely my favorite now, very colorful.

After the storm hit and having a day off, I was finally able to get out today. Roads still not desirable for driving, but I had to pick up GT6! Swung by the post office, got these (had the GT-40s monday, other two were there today)

Gulfs look GREAT in person. Anyway, then went across the street to Wal-Mart to pick up a couple things. Wasn't planning on it, but boy am I glad I did! Here's the haul:

And this little beauty.

And after getting Friday off work, it's been a stellar weekend. All smiles here. Hope it's been as great for the rest of you!

OK, I have a question: How much is AutoArt Bugatti Veyron worth?(1/64, of course).

I payed $22 for mine at a local store (same as the one Space showed I think) so for $29.95 you've got an alright deal there mate and its a nice colour combo as well, I'll have to try and get one myself:tup:

Grabbed some stuff yesterday, was pumped to find the black Falcon in a 3-pack

@Space:Had a look mate, box on the Initial D Tomica is the same I just flipped it over for the pic

 

[a6m5]

@DwightSchrute12 Did you did you did you actually find a $uper!? Ditto on the Gulf cars. Beautiful finish on those cars.

I was hoping it was the same one(just saw the "showcar" name on the stand in your pic). 👍 I looked around some, and I don't think I saw one below $59 at this point...... if you can find one that is. I'm really looking forward to this AutoArt. Thanks for the info & also for posting the pic. 👍

Now I really like the 2nd one as Camo is my favorite color combination on anything and WWII based paint jobs have a soft spot to me. I do like the casting, I just never owned one and I'm not one who throws around big money for some of the ones I do see (granted I'm usually late to the party on new releases before they sell out).

I did pick up a new lot of Kombi's of ebay for $12 bucks (6 of them and easier for than searching locally), I needed the new red/white variations. I am hopefully going to do a custom of the Brumos Porsche/VW bus I saw in Daytona this year. Now I'm trying to win some of the Holden Ute's off ebay...I keep forgetting TTP.

Anytime mate:tup:
When I was over the Diecast store last week he did have another one the same as mine, I might have to grab it now that I've seen how much they're going for

 

[DwightSchrute12]

@DwightSchrute12 Did you did you did you actually find a $uper!? Ditto on the Gulf cars. Beautiful finish on those cars.

Yes! The first $uper I have found in my hometown! Probably because most people weren't traveling today with the bad roads but I had to get out to pick up GT6 lol. On the pegs I only found the Matchbox. Which, by the way, is the new 2014 packaging I guess. They had probably two dozen pegs full of the new ones scattered throughout the toy car aisle. I kinda liked the more solid orange ones more, they stuck out better.

But after I came up dry in the toy section, I was walking around the story and found a new dump bin in boys clothing! lol And once I found the STH camaro I knew it'd be a nice haul. Then found the two Herbies below. At the time I had no idea what the regular treasure hunt was for this bunch, but after coming home and looking it up I guess it was the "Fangster"? If so, ugh, don't even want it a little bit.

And yeah, can't wait to crack these Gulf cars open. Only ordered one of the Drag Bus though. Didn't want to get cocky going for 2 and end up with 0.

 

[a6m5]

In the boy's clothing area....... You are the man. Bit random of a location.

They do have cheaper one for maybe under $10 + shipping? I also have HW Garage series one, pop culture Flash Gordon one & Garage box set one. As long as you don't rush, you should be able to find one cheap.....er.

I might have to grab it now that I've seen how much they're going for

You bet. I think Kakashi said they were like $20 where he lives as well. It would make a nice trading piece, or eBay item for you guys!

@Space:Had a look mate, box on the Initial D Tomica is the same I just flipped it over for the pic

Figured as much after I made that post. I like the other side of the box better. Hopefully it will arrive sometime this week.

And nice find with the Black Falcon. Never normally pay attention to the three packs, going to have to keep an eye out now. 👍

Hot Wheels Legends Hirohata '51 Mercury

Pure class right there. Still chasing it.

I had never even heard of the car until just last week? Came up on TTP, "Hirohata" sounded Japanese, so I googled it. Learned a bit about "customs" that night. 👍

Haha, arguably the most infliential and famous custom in history. Glad you read about the car.

You guys know what sucks? I had this car on backorder since September. I logged in tonight to see if there was anything new, there was. It went from 'backorder' to 'discontinued'.

That Falcon reminds me of Craig Lowndes's Falcons paintjob when he first went to ford.
Here is a pic of my Auto Art Veyron mine cost me $35 from a shop so for $29.95 I go for it A6.

That does suck. Also, switch to Flickr already.
