yah... it is Amalgam Aventador. can see the door shutline is openable. Damn nice

that guy who owned the amalgam aventador is not lao ban! he is tycoon!

Just checking, is Hotwheels Elite same standard as Autoart and Kyosho? If so, is Ferrari licensed to them as I cannot find any under AA and Kyosho.

It's hard to compare standard as all have their good and bad points. AA always has excellent paint but sometimes, their model feels light and the interior isnt very good. HWE's paint isn't that good(sometimes) but their interior is excellent! Really heavy as well.

And yes, HW(Mattel) are the ONLY licensed manufacturer for Ferrari models at that price range. Kyosho actually has Ferrari license as well, but they have to package it under BBR so that they don't compete in the HWE segment. That's also the reason why the "newer" F-car from Kyosho are under their High-End range.

Ic ok. Thx for the info, Geeamino. I was thinking of future prancing horses in my collection after the charging bulls so did a bit of looking up. So HW or HWE will only be brand that carries the Ferrari makes then.

blu3hamm3r: LOL! Tht E-Coupe? No lah.

hacken: Agree!

Btw,

Wow!! Nissan GTR?? Ur 1:1 haul?

aquila: yeap. If you're into classic Ferrari's then you can always get Kyosho as well like the F40 and 512 Testarossa. But for the modern ones, only HW and HWE.

bryant: I like that "Sumo" GTR alot! Any idea on the release date?

oic, jay chou got so many cars~ even the batman mobile...

COOOOOOOOL AVENTADOR~~!!! u guys keep talking about R8, makes me wanna buy back my R8 liao...

blu3hamm3r: If i really haul this in 1:1 scale.........

geeamino: No idea on the release date, but its a sure thing for me. But need to wait till i complete my 1:1 things first.

Don't! Straight buy R8 GT!

Yep.

Guys, can i close the facebook page ah?

Guys, have you seen this in Speedhunters.com???

awesome stuff!
Diecast on speedhunters

Hah.. 90% of my cars are ferrari.. let me see..

Hmm it depends lo, for those early release models (year 2008 release and before), some of them are pretty bad the QC and details.. But they have a few which are pretty good in quality like:

F430 Challenge
575 Superamerica
125S
mondial 8

It's from 2008 year onwards which suddenly some models with significant improvement (for e.g no dog-leg doors, better detailings, perforated grills), some examples are:

F430 Scud (nope the F430 had dog-leg doors )
California
Dino 246gt


And.. come year 2010, the "breakthrough" period for HW elite.. They FINALLY acquired some Precision-detailed modelling skills, impressing the Dc world with the following:

599 XX
599 GTO
250 California
458 Italia


There's still some doubts over their final touch (for e.g 599XX's incorrect headlamps & 458's Exhaust and oversize front wheel) but generally from 2010 onwards, they can be said to be making DECENT models already.

And with the 250 GT SWB recently out, details are looking for it.. Some New ferrari by HW elite to look out for:

348TB (previously only made by maisto and burago) *1-2 mths time*
Ferrari FF *2mths onwards*
355 (previously only made by Ut models and Hot wheels regular)
And more..


In short: Many of Hw elite models do have certain flaws in them, but these are the models you should AVOID if u are not a very avid Ferrari collector..

HW Elite's 360 series and the F50.. one word: Horrible! If anyone of u keen, i can create a list of what HW elite to buy and what not..
