Anyone into model car collection?

[Flagg]

You haven't watched the movie?

You're missing 1/2 of your life

Uh, sorry sir... nope.

I'm pretty happy with the 1/2 I do have, though...

Nice collection sir BHANE! That AT-AT driver is probably worth 3 or 4 of the cars, though.

[empy]

hey bhane...that collection is completely SICK :drool:

i'm looking for a challenge stradale and f40 as well - may i ask you where you got those?

[the_wildthing]

Wow ang ganda ng mga collections ninyo! Parang gusto ko tuloy mag-kolekta, kaso wala akong paglalagyan.

Meron akong 1:18 Maisto na 911 kaso puti, tsaka regalo lang ng misis ko. May plastic na 1:24 from Tamiya na binuo ko kaso nabali ang isang side mirror GRRR. At may remote control na VW, 1:24 din yata yun. Iniwan ko lahat sa Pilipinas.

And then of course the Matchbox from the old days...nothing special.

[Helios]

Very sick sir Bhane, very sick. And yet I don't see any Macca in there, or Bugattis, and even Astons. What's the deal, man? My prize possession will always be the MacF1 even if I also have the GT, and I'm prowling and hunting currently for any Zondas down here in the Manila. I should've bought that Motormax made I found in a NY shop last year. Any shops I can go to fellow tsikoteers?

[bunge]

sir Bhane ilan na lahat ang collections mo? magkano na ang nagagastos mo? i assume, na karamihan dyan ay Autoart.

[bunge]

*Helios, I think merong mga Motormax sa Festival Mall. Baka maka jackpot ka ng hinahanap mo. In fact, halos puro Motormax yong brand nila. Meron pa ngang DMC (Back to the Future) akong nakita. di ko lang po type ang Motormax, di ako napupuliduhan sa gawa, unlike Autoart, Kyosho.

[bunge]

ooopss.. Welly at Sunstar lang yata yong nandoon sa Festival. I don't think that you would like them.

[BHANE]

Maraming salamat sa inyo lahat po hehe... My first 1:18 was a gift, a Porsche 911 Roadster, this is where my interest in 1:18s started. I found myself countless hours browsing thru Ebay and few online diecast store. I knew then I caught "the bug", I went on a collection frenzy. However, I didnt realize there are many different brands, price range, and quality build. I started collecting Maistos, HW, and Bburago. Later on AutoArt and other brands. To me its not about the brand, I simply wanted a particular model in my line up. Thru my collection, I found several warehouses and hobby shops in my area. I called to see if I could purchase direct, once im there I pick out the cars I want, then offer a deal. Im gradualy working my way to collecting the quality brands, kaya lang I need to save some $$ Its been 3 months since my last purchase, recoop muna hehe. Last night I checked Ebay, lumabas na pala F430 in Blue and Black. Also the SuperAmerica is out as well!


*M54Powered, I have 3 Challenge Stradales, kaya lang one I sent to Pinas, one I have here on display, the other will be sent out for custom paint. I can check the warehouse where I got it from kong meron pa. The CS cost about $32-$40, I got mine for $14 each depende on the deal. Also, naging member ako sa Mattel, may malaki Mattel distribution warehouse in my area, prices are marked down, sealed in box. All models in their inventory vary, depends on whatever they have over stocked for that week. Last time I was there, 612 Scaglietti for $8 lang. PM lang kita on any info.

*Helios, Yeah, I know.. I should've at least have a F1 McLaren. I just checked my shelves, May isa pala akong AM-DB9, I forgot about that, lost track hehe. I can give you info where I got my cars from, possibly work out a deal. As of Pinas, wala akong contact dyan. During my vacation dyan, I saw several 1:18s AutoArt, price is almost and about the same dito sa US. You mentioned GT, you reffering GT Ford ba?


*Bunge, kamusta! I dont know how many, lost count. Iba nasa storage, iba sa other office, just last month I found 2 Porsche in my cars trunk, so busy nalimutan ko. Most cars are spent with my company funds. I use these 1:18 cars as refference before I work on the real cars, just to get that 3D visual.

Salamat ulit po! Nice to know fellow Tsikoters into 1:18s God Bless.

:insomnia: :jawdrop:



wow. you can buy a real car with all those! nice collection!

[Monseratto]

Anyone looking for 1:18 diecast like Kyosho, Minichamps and Autoart, go to Classic Scale 18, Blue Lane, Shoppesville.

[Helios]

yup, it's Ford alright. the only car I shipped with me from Sydney was the F1, the rest has to stay back tucked inside their nifty lil boxes. I placed the F1 along with my champion wine inside a special crate and paid a premium price for it, while I just shipped my samurai swords in an ordinary box

sir Bunge where can I find Autoart pieces locally? I saw one in ebay, oks kaya yun?

TIA

[bunge]

Helios, as Monseratto said, maraming Autoart sa CLASSIC SCALE 18, Blue Lane, Shoppesville. Kelan ka punta? Bukas kami punta ni esmi. Okay naman yong mga nasa Ebay. saka goodnews, merong ng paypal dito sa pinas. hehehehe.. kaya marami na tayong mahahakot na 1:18 mula Ebay, har har har.

Meron din kay Uncle Johnnie sa MegaMall (in front Greenwich Pizzas) at SM North EDSA mga AutoArt at DUB cars. Sa SM Toy Kingdom meron din DUB at Hotwheels. NOTE: Hotwheels holds the absolute franchise to Ferrari Diecasts kaya suwertihan lang kung may makitang kang Ferrari na ibang brand.

[quiksie]

meron ba na nissan frontier na toy?

[mbeige]

Bhane, where do you get yours? I remember you're in SoCal. May store sa Beach Blvd here in Anaheim that has a store, Hobby City--lots of nice 1:18 cars. They even have a 1:18 scale F40 that's $300!

Here are some of my toy cars that i've been collecting for 28 yrs now. Half of my collections were either destroyed or given by my son to his friends. Buti nalang may natira pa kahit papaano... I'm more inclined to collect vintage or toy cars that are more than 20 yrs old.

guys, help naman sa advice.. i saw sa SM kanina na sale ang DUB City na car models scales 1:24.. from P1000, naging 500 pesos nlang.. balak ko mag collect kaso isang color lang ang iko-collect ko.. for example, all orange na dub city cars, but same model regardless of the car model.. parang ganun ang gusto kong collection.. i saw some old school models na same ang colors.. what do you think? ok ba ito for a newbie like me sa car collection?

saka mahal ba tlaga ang price ng dub city sa malls compare sa mga ibang shops kagaya ng uncle toby's? pati ba yung mga toy car collection shops nagsasale din gaya ng sa SM? ( i mean kung sale ngayon ang dubcity, sale din ba sila?) could you give me some advice, where i can find great deals on toycars? may outlet store ba ito na mura ang benta?

sorry kung puro tanong.. hehehe.. thanks in advance!

[space invader]

extended pa daw yung dub city 50 % off until the end of january..
