chan: yeap. mod the intakes like the matte black. Lol.
But I didn't know about the issue with the yellow SV coz he didn't mention to me. I suppose I got lucky then. hehe. But I'm sure it's gonna be worth the wait because it does look incredible.

wkwebsite: even if you get the AA...the intakes wont stay up. If you see closely...my yellow SV's intake are up but the engine cover doesn't close shut. typical AA quality control. lol.

blu3hamm3r: the remaining colours are red, green, turquoise and orange. chobo: sorry bros! lol. I was really surprised when I heard from members here that there was only one yellow SV for this shipment. But i'm sure you won't regret waiting for it....especially the yellow one. anyway...a few more pics of the SV.

chan: hmm...I really think they won't truly "fix" the problem coz then I think it would require a whole new set of mechanism to be installed in. Coz from what I can see...they can't really fix the problem. But I really hope they fix it tho...super troublesome to take apart the SV everytime. lol.
blu3hamm3r: haha. lol. 5 kg...i think diecast average about...no more than 1kg.
aquila: congrats the wingless gull. hehe. Beautiful model! Would love to have the white coupe.....some day...possibly when Sky get's bored of his. LOL!!

I think with box and stuff is around 2kg but some members here used to weigh their diecast and found some to be quite lightweight...around 800g. But ofcourse not all the same la. lol. I'm sure the Bentley Mulsane that Kuro bought recently would easily exceed 1kg.

So far have not seen the China Edition SV yet over here. Mostly have the white. No one ordered the Chine Version?

blu3hamm3r: you got the China Edition? quickly get some photos up man!
nice MP4. I really like the base! The reason it's not as expensive as MR is because it's not limited to a certain amount. So I'm sure the quality would be on par with MR.

Got this from another forum Verde Sandag  Turquoise  I'm quite certain that these are the official photos from AA...so the colour should be final. Anyone abit disappointed with the turquoise?  Now that I look at it...I'm digging the green more than the blue. This post has been edited by geeamino: Nov 2 2011, 11:40 PM

Those pictures you see before were not AA's official picture. A member from a forum photoshop it to help "visualize" how the colour would look like. Lol. So that's why I'm sure alot of us were kinda waiting for the official pictures to decide how it'll actually look.

subaru22b: waaa! You must've enjoyed yourself until didn't even wanna buy diecast! Lol. Please tell us you actually took part in it man...that would be awesome.
lkwanz: hmmm...not sure. I highly doubt it tho. The 40th anniversary is artemis green. this is just some..random colour AA did themselves i think coz they don't even have the "official" name like Verde Sandag, Rosso Targa, Giallo Orion etc.

hacken: the met red looks really similar to the orange argos eh?  Would be really interesting to see the difference side by side. but both your bulls look excellent.

hacken: from photos it does look really similar but, like you said, it would be easily recognizable if I view the real thing.
blu3hamm3r: I'm pretty sure the 1/1 Aventador has more colours than white and orange. You can see what colour Lambo offer by checking out the LP700 Configurator...but I think the metallic red is an official colour.

haha. I like to mix diecast and resin. I'm a diecast collector because I really like opening features like for instance, I would never own a 1/1 Mclaren F1 and if i buy a resin version, I would never know that the rear has 3 openings and I wouldn't realize the side compartment open as well.
But I also love resin because the finish is just second to none and also the colours they offer are not the usual white, silver, black, red, yellow.
So I don't have a preference...I just see which one offer more for my money.
