Kentt, you can't get a perfect conditions model rarely. Sometime there are tiny flaws on the diecast, even a expensive model like BBR or MR, too has a small flaws that one needs very good observations only can be seen. But as long as you dont be too picky, then you will be happy with the cars. After all.....all are human assembled models, so human errors are expected.

The seller accepted to refund $200 for me.

Is it ok that a CMC mlaren with broken front light, paint defects on rear part and not working steering cost me $250?

One thing I can tell you is that this money will help me troughout my life. It will help me buy a house and raise a family. I will try my best to use this money for positive things only.

I too need to make priorities now and be selective in what I like to collect. Or perhaps switch to 1/43 scale. Running out of space too. Releases like Autoart's LP670-4 SV is not helping the situation.

Anything below 1:18, I cannot appreciate the car details enough. Atm, space is not a problem since I have only about 4-6 diecasts of various sizes.

I also sometimes got no time to open the box when i bought it. not because i am laopan..but dont u think so, that buying diecast is like hunting hunting and hunting....once u get your desired model, you will hunt for next target, the one u just hunted put aside coz u hunger for next model. just like u hunt a lambo 670-4...once u get it...u really have to hunt for next target like one-77, and when u received that lambo, u just put aside and u dont care to look at it coz its yours already, just that u will look at it when u got spare time.

TOTALLY LAOPAN!

Want save space buy 1:64s. Some more got more car variety.
