which McLaren? If AA Mclaren F1 ... only 1 color

@Jackygwh: The website is toronto motorsports, which can be accessed here. There's one catch though, and I feel stupid for not checking before, the shipping rate is almost the same as the price of the model itself...

@Vallexlea: I understand it's difficult, I heard that they don't take responsibility for their models, which means the sellers have to replace defected ones at their own expenses. Still, good luck

@Advocado: Three colour choices, one confirmed, two pending. They are as follow: Metallic Silver, Metallic Grey, Metallic black.

Hey guys. Anyone else going to order/bulk order the AA McLaren F1? Please kindly let me know the details like price to land it here and deposit to pay and location.

I'll go for Metallic Silver.

Thank you

Added on May 23, 2010, 8:13 pmThis is also the one I wanna get and can be seen in various shops but too bad Kyosho only release them together with functional RC Car(RM7xx) instead of just the bodyshell only.

Added on May 23, 2010, 9:32 pmAnd this one looks like a model cars fair in Japan where one AA McLaren F1 was also displayed and reviewed in the link below. Doesn't look as good as what AA advertised though.

@Edwardc: You're quite the Mclaren enthusiast apparently The Zonda R was announced together with the Mclaren and the NSX some time ago (around April), I personally like the Zonda F better. The 1:8 replica is from Amalgam and quite frankly is the best scaled down model of a Mclaren F1 in the market. You can see the details on their website (google "Amalgam"), they even have the headphones present in the cockpit. Getting one, however, will set most people back one month's worth of loan payments

Hehehe. Yes I am. Felt in love with how it stands on the ground and seduced me at first sight. But have not spotted one 1:1 scale just yet. Heard Sultan Johor has one yellow colour lo.

Okie. Checking the Amalgam 1:8 now!

Bugatti too make replica of their Veyron in various colour combination, can't remember the size, but it was huge. And I remember the price tag was 5 figure. hehe
Just checked Amalgam. I think those Veyron at Bugatti were made by Amalgam too.
And I spotted the headphones that you mentioned in this pic!

Added on May 23, 2010, 11:37 pmThose pictures of the AA McLaren F1 displayed at modeling fair surrounded the net don't look as good as the one AA displayed on their official site though. The paint look fake/funny, like Maisto. Is it because they are just a prototype for display? or rumour that the AA quality has dropped is true? Or because what advertised always look better than the actual stuff? Just like McD?

howard, u r right, thats why this business is nice to see, but not good to do. I got a Black Reventon which comes with defects, so all the loses i have to cover it by my own........

woh tat site ........ bro the shipping kills lah..i bought some of it b4... slow shipping n exp

Hi this is by UT, scale is 1:18, u can find one at ebay. Happy searching

Seems like Mclaren F1 is the car of the month........

@Edwardc: I think it's a prototype, Autoart's quality is still the same, the difference is that it is not consistent anymore and they are not really standing behind their products.

@Valexllea: What are the defects? I feel sorry for you man..

@Jackygwh: I almost pre-ordered it. Lucky me Thing is, I'm worried that once it gets to the shelves it will be sold out before I'm able to get my hands on it...

@Lkwanz: Give in and succumb to the beast that is Mclaren F1

Thanks khsj!

Anyone getting the AA McLaren F1 please let me know ya. Shrinking my stomach now. hehehe

the front boots joint is broken...... so consider it cant open lah,
the steering is not "lock" into the wheels shaft, means cant steer the wheels.....
other than that, everything is just perfect~

This mclaren will need to wait till it is officially out, then can know what is the price like, i'm planning to bring it in too, as well R35 JGTC, etc etc.

Preordered the Mclaren F1 much cheaper than the recommended retail price from HLJ It was 18200 yen when I ordered. Go now guys, before it ends!

Howard:Hope that ur Mclaren F1 comes in 1 piece

Har why??? You had bad delivery experience before?

No .....just that AA QC is very poor....so hope that Howard can get a Mclaren F1 he deserved for the money he had to pay.....

many defects on AA recently. thats why i recenly get only kyosho

Har. What the heck. We deserved for good quality product since we are paying over USD2xx. And why are we willing to pay a premium price is because we want the premium quality AA make ma... aiya...

What kind of defects you guys had? definately not caused by delivery lo?

I still don't have a single road version of McLaren F1 lo, all are the race version... ai...
