jchue: It's been a long time bro since you post your collection!! lol.

I also think R8 is the best model to do LED...the only other one I can think of is M3 or E89 Z4. I actually contacted another modder to mod for me a 458 but after we agree everything, he never reply me back...lol. so yea...and I did the garage myself but not really done yet la. still abit rough.

and how much did you get taxed for? coz mine also the seller didnt put invoice but the amount was clearly written on the box...but they didnt bother looking at the box so I just lied. Lol.

You're lucky lah the guy not so smart. With mine, he immediately looked at the shipping details that the seller put that is attached with the box and found the value. Not once, kena twice ! How much? Errr... After totalling up the CIF cost with shipping and after currency exchange... RM 160 ++ if I'm not wrong. Second time, it was about RM 80 plus from a different seller. Not to mention plus toll and petrol. The first time, it was embarrassing as i had not enough money with me. Had to walk to LCCT to withdraw.

Hi , I'm new here.
I wanted to buy a diecast car , but which size do you guys more like to suggest to me.?

1/18 is the ideal size bro

id go for 1/18 because u can enjoy its detail at an extra large scale!

Then what is the range of price of 1/18

well...1/18 can range from rm100 all the way up to rm3-4k. depending on details and exclusivity.

Ahhh icc..
I like 1/18 more because its not too big or not too small . jus moderate .
i m still thinking which car should i get for my 1st diecast car in my life


so.. what do you think.

Lol. Wahlau, 160?? is it diecast? but yea...that stupid kastam ACTUALLY cost me around...RM100 just for toll and petrol even tho i didn't kena tax.

RM100 just for toll and petrol? Need so much? KLIA right?

LovingYou: welcome..1:18 is better..but last time i'm start from 1:24 first and change to 1:18..start from maisto diecast and slowly collect the branded one..

hi , maisto diecast car is more cheaper compared to other branded ?
owhh.. but any differrence since there is a same car but different branded ?

Maisto is budget model,so less details...

lkwanz: well give or take 100 la. lol. but it's actually LCCT...which is even further than KLIA...imo.

lovingyou: i recommend you go straight to MR 1/18. Lol...joking. good place to start is Maisto....but ofcourse, it all depends on what kind of car you like.

for me,maisto is ok already but the detail not much better if compare with branded one like Autoart,kyosho or hotwheel..until now i'm still collect maisto,but at same time i also collect branded one..

lovingyou: Or u can get something from geeamino sales thread

loving you: most of us here collecting 1:18....but its depend on wat car u want,coz its not every brand produce the same car and quality

wah,so pandai~ this car is great,price and quality is not bad too...if u really like this model,thn go for it...coz for me among maisto,minichamps and hotwork that produce SLK...hotwork is da BEST!~

lkwanz: LOL!!

lovingyou: you should buy models that you fancy...whatever the price. we can only give you tips as to wether the model is good or bad. as for the hotworks SLK that you mention...it is obviously a great model for the price.
