  1. im just gonna ignore this comment..
  2. sweeeeet!
  3. dang it! I don't think I have 4 of any one type.. oh well.. guess that means I can still buy and collect cars then eh!
  4. looks pretty good as it is! and I kinda doubt that they would do any renewals for stuff these days.. but if it does come with a clear replacement canopy that will be the first thing I change that's for sure!
  5. I know I know!!! but I just cant help it! Even right this minute im negotiating with a seller for another car! I guess the good thing is the Delta Valks won't require payment till the end of the year and beyond so I've got a few months to save for them.. but I do have bike rego coming up end of next month and haven't saved a cent towards it! LOL!
  6. well I have just hit 40 so im sure periodic checks will be in order soon..
  7. I love those wall mounted displays! How do you find the build quality & detail of the Hot Wheels Elite compared to Autoart models? I wouldn't mind a LaFerrari but im just a little concerned about their quality.. I'd even love a F12 Berlinetta! do they even exist as a model? And even though im not much a fan of those Pagani Huayra but those Autoart Signature series models are very nice! Great collection you have mate!
  8. yeah kinda like that prostate examination..
  9. the yellow Autoart C7 Corvette Z06 I have is one of the new plastic/resin builds but its actually really nice! And even though it's not diecast it still has a reasonable weight to it and doesn't look or feel cheap at all. And I think they can make the panel tolerances tighter and sharper with plastic more so than with metal. The Corvette does indeed look superb!
  10. And so the madness continues!!! Found a white Autoart Lamborghini Aventador (74663) for a bargain price on Mandarake! Including postage (DHL) for about 1/3 cheaper than the orange one I had previously.. yep I think im hooked again! LOL! I sold off that orange one I originally got as it was rather expensive and although it was good I didn't feel it deserved the "signature" status (especially compared to other Signature models) but considering this white one is quite a bit cheaper means I won't be complaining this time round.. ebay! there's heaps on there for sale! just check the sellers feedback before deciding on one is all I can recommend.. oh and don't forget to buy the optional Autobot logo!
  11. oh.. probably just be easier for you to buy one out of China.

    yeah even though they are much more expensive but getting a v2 VF-1 is a better option. They are a vastly superior product!
  13. I've been thinking of selling mine actually! for the right money of course.. I suppose you could always make me an offer on it! what country are you in? hehe! ok so I know this isn't the display thread but at one point in time I did buy them so think of this as a delayed or a purchase re-post! apologies for that last pic being on its side.. I too have been eyeballing that particular RX-7! its pretty sweet eh! and not badly priced at ami.. and those other models you mentioned are very purchase worthy too! plus others on my want list! oh snap! I think I have been re-bitten by the model car collecting bug! I also have the standard McLaren F1 in black.. I did have the Gran Turismo stealth edition but didn't really like the GT markings on it and thought the big wing didn't suit the stand body so I sold it off..
  14. yes please do! im always keen to see what cars others have in their collections!
  15. Yes! love it! there is just something special about seeing a whole bunch of Valkyrie parked together in fighter mode like this!
  16. well done mate! a holy grail item indeed! some cost this much! other even more..
  17. awesome! loving that Audi Quattro!! Might see for one myself.. and the 959 looks sweet too!

    for v.1 Valks you could always use one of these!? hehe! im just joking relax.. but yeah as far as I remember from my old v.1's I don't think they did come with any.
  19. yeah yeah I know I shouldn't be spending money on model cars blah blah blah but these were cheap so I couldn't resist! Porsche 997 911 GT3 RS 4.0 by AUTOart.. Never thought very much of these but got it for cheaper than anywhere else listed for sale and the detail/build quality is very good indeed! 1980 Holden Commodore VC SLE (the SLE is the top model luxury version) by Biante.. I usually shy away from buying anything from Biante including these particular Commodore models as I am skeptical about their build accuracy and quality but after seeing this one in the flesh it actually really impressed me! The details are many and fantastic! Reclining front seats & sun visors, movable transmission shifter & hand brake, working suspension all round, drive shaft turns when you spin the rear wheels, opening fuel filler door.. just to mention a few. And at the price I got it for it was just too good to resist! geez I gotta be careful as I don't wanna catch the model car bug again!
  20. to be honest I can't even bring myself to watch the last two episodes.. the whole series has been kinda blah.. I guess im only in it for the Valkyrie toys!
  21. so.. this Friday 4pm Japan time for pre-orders yes? here we go again..
  22. FMD!!! the flames shooting from the exhaust are ballistic!!! and that V12 sound is simply underwear soiling!
