Added on December 27, 2011, 9:34 amVery nice collection u have in 2011. Those 1/43 cost how much each normally? Is fully sealed or can open like 1:18 diecast? Some look like nicer than 1:18.

1:43 scale generally very cheap. Less than USD 20 for normal subjects but can be more expensive than 1:18 or 1:12 if it's highly desirable. Just google 1:43 Benetton B195 France Schumacher. Prices are around USD 3,500.

Sauron76: Hehehe........good to know you got poison.....want to see your 1/43 growing too..........hehehehe...

Guys........1/43 is depend too the price and detail (diecast or resin)......range is RM150-RM450 or more.......looking for any model just buzz me

i always wanted to start 1/43 but the price sometimes is quite expensive..now only have few 1/43

Lkwanz90: You should start 1/43 too make it grow........more choice than 1/18

subaru: i know but buying 2-3 pcs of 1/43 can buy 1 1/18...lol

Lkwanz90: Yeah....but 1/18 release damn slow and less choice.

blu3hamm3r: yea. I remember you got post. But I can't find it in Ace or any hardware shop. Lol. Let me try to find it again, if cannot, then I'll PM you to help me get. Lol.

sauron: That's a very nice haul man!

subaru: haha..money oso coming in slow for me..so nvm lo

Managed to get the volcano MP4-12C back last Saturday morning just in time before Christmas. LOL I must say it again that the colour looks really awesome and sits very well next to the frost white One-77. I think the MP4-12C is my best model yet for this year.

Lkwanz90: Hehehee.....nice haul.......wht scale?

jchue73: Waiting for ur photo!!

whao... even higher rating than tecnomodel one-77 huh...

Haiya... Hacken already did an excellent job of it.

Don't get me wrong. The Tecnomodel is really excellent. Just that the volcano / copper colour of the MP4-12C Frontiart is simply outstanding. If you glance through a group of models, the Mp4-12C will surely catch your eye. That's how good it is. It's very difficult to replicate the colour and shade of the real car and Frontiart did an excellent job of it.

Oh, kudos to Laoda for the fast and fuss free exchange.

Received an execlusive special resin model from HK today!!! Limited to 22 units in the world. Why is it so special?? Bcos this unit is non from the 22 units from the world but from the factory display set it self. It is not 01/22 or 22/22 but is 00/22. Special right? Helping a fren grabing this sexy moster! Really excited when received it! Stay tune!!! Will post up and share the happiness with all of u here!

blu3hamm3r: Wow...that is great.....cannot wait to see wht type of monster you have......

Lao Pan, with USD20 hard to find a descent one nowadays. I started off picking IXO models at USD25~USD35 exl shipping (assume USD10) so it's descent price USD40 abt 3 years ago.

Now refering to EBBRO new release USD40 + USD10 for shipping = USD50 a pcs...
Spark, if you get the latest release say USD60 + USD10 for shipping = USD 70 a pcs.. or

if you want hardcore BBR/MR prepare to splash USD200~USD380 + shipping = possibly cost up to USD400 a pcs.

jchue: all these MP4-12C is really contagious man! Really tempted to add one....but can't at the moment!

blu3hamm3r: cool. 0/22...that's really special and certainly worth alot more than the other 22 pcs. Can't wait to see what is it!
