1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Gotbeefboy564]

Well it was one that's on my top 5 like the Packard. So it's special to me.

 

[AOS-]

It was in my top 10 back in 2013, so I've been through that phase before. You'll see what I mean in 2 years.

 

[yabiggoose]

Dunno if this is the right thread, decided to buy this as it's an Aston Martin ripoff.



It's got the wrong character's name haha. An error surely?


Edit: I bought it from a supermarket, I did not buy the one that was on gumtree.

More dirty cars from my shelf, this time we truly break the vintage car streak with this Vintage Racing Sox & Martin Duster, which wasn't as dirty because it's one of those cars that I'd occasionaly grab and clean a bit with my shirt:

And here it is all shined up, this thing is perfect, from the casting itself -the stance, the wheels, the late-70s-perfect Pro Stock scoop, and the details of the Duster in itself- to the racing livery, it's freaking awesome.

 

[Spacegoat]

So looking forward to this being released. Damn it looks good.

2007 Norev Street Racer
Mercedes C-Class DTM



Sits too high (has suspensions though), paint chips e'erywhere (might be the seller's fault).
#quality




Yes, the Norevs arrived.​

 

[CodeRedR51]

I don't know about you, but when I buy cars online I like to be able to look at them thoroughly first. That's why I almost always buy off ebay, and the listing must have large enough photos that I can zoom in and see if there are any imperfections.

 

[AOS-]

I took a chance with a $4 Norev. The photos were decent, but by no means high quality.

Only a select few weren't in the mintiest condition. Wait until I get to the retro rally cars.

I'm not gonna lie, I've posted a few. Scion xB/Toyota bB police car, also vintage 240z police car, they were too cool & I could not resist!

Change of pace from the usual Kyosho:

If anybody's been interested in the TLV Hino flatbed truck, it's under $50 here(shipped). I saw Japan Booster list it for about the same price, too. I see these sudden price drop with TLVs sometimes. It's rare, but it happens. I was lukewarm on this truck, but for $45 shipped(had coupon), I jumped on it.

Edit: Maybe something @R1600Turbo would be interested in, I dunno. Not "vintage", but regular Tomica Limited. Still kinda cool.

Nah, too goofy looking.

@RCKakashi14 - photo size man!

No, I'm not interested in flatbeds, but please continue to tip us off with TLV price drops so I can set benchmark price tags in the future. Appreciate it.

When do Zamacs come in cases? Or do they have there own separate case?

Dump bins only.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Dump bins only.

That's the problem. The dump bin I got two days ago had none.

 

[CodeRedR51]

That's the problem. The dump bin I got two days ago had none.

I don't even know if they are supposed to be out yet. They don't come in every bin.

Is the Mooneyes dodge van hard to come by? Will definitely keep an eye out for that. Also yet to see any pictures of the new Simpsons car anywhere

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

The van and the surfboard chevy pickup were difficult to find at my K day. I only got the van. The surfboard chevy will be in the G case too.

Treasure hunt yes, normal no.

Antoine's sharing a video of a video DemLamleyGroupz shared. Enjoy.



Makes me think Mattel should have a small separate line to sell raw parts (unpainted bodies, loose wheels, etc.) to tailor to customizers. They could sell kits as an educational toy to teach kids to build stuff. They've already started doing this with trucks but they're not even the cool trucks, so they're goofing up on that note.

I imagine the sales in the regular basic cars would show signs of a drop, but it's not like they're profiting from all the unwanted cars that stay peg/bin fillers for life.

Finally got my hands on a 240Z. I know, I'm late.

[CodeRedR51]

Are the rims orange? They look like it, which is a variation. They are supposed to be a copper color, I found some half/half cars, but none full orange.

 

[Nessy]

They look copper to me. Maybe the colours slightly out on your screen.

 

[CodeRedR51]

The error is a chrome orange, and the copper it supposed to be is a very bland copper, slightly gold look. Just did a google search and a lot of the photos look orange, so I guess it depends on the lighting when the photo was taken.

 

[Nessy]

Oh right. In the first pic i'd definitely say copper, but looking at the other two, maybe it is chrome orange.

 

[a6m5]

You guys know this stuff doesn't fascinate me, but for what it's worth, it looks copper.

Finally got my hands on a 240Z. I know, I'm late.​

But it's never looked this good. I'll be looking at mine in a new light for sure. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Waiting for the 370Z to hit the pegs so I can do a Then & Now custom setup.

 

[a6m5]

Waiting for anything remotely close to current release, so I can rejoin 2015.
