Okay! I just got a AA LP670-4 SV today and here are some comparison between the Very Expensive SV and the half price SV by Norev!
To be honest, i'm not very satisfied after i did the comparison..:'(

enjoy!:D


the battle begins! haha:D

Firstly will be the Rims!
Norev: Printed logo with orange calliper!


AA: An very accurate badge with yellow calliper(?)


Bonnet!
Norev: Unable to open but fit perfectly onto and really nice badge!


AA: Can be open, really nice badge but Pops out..


Well fitted doors?
Norev: not really..


AA: perfect!:D


Thats it for round 1! haha:D

Just for your information, Orange SV is suppose to have Orange callipers..hehe:)
here is some actual car shots..


(This is from an Orange SV )

Norev seems so have more accurate details compare to AA do you agree?

blu3hamm3r: Nice Countach there. Now you have alternate yellow & orange Bulls.

subaru22b: Nice scooby you got there. I still wonder when they will make more of the 1:18 Scoobies.

Sauron76: Thanks bro.....no cert...only stated on the plastic base.
blu3hamm3r: Thanks bro......you should try start collecting 1/43 it's worth it.....somemore many choice and detail too.
aquilaTE:Thanks bro.....yeah the whole world is waiting for the release 1/18 scale ............and we all still waiting....hehehe

The seller told me the cost of Air mail is about $130USD..tat y he went for Sea Mail.....==!!!
y the Airmail from canada so expensive?
Any1 has parcel from canada by Air mail b4?

OR2NG7: very nice review... ahhh reallywasted the caliper wrong color for AA.. but to details AA stilll better.. and the carbon fibre prints on the spoiler part also nicer right?

good comparison... thanks for the part 1 info and sharing for fellow collectors...

Standard air mail from Canada to Malaysia for 1:18 model is around USD30-50. Sea mail should be much more cheaper than that.

blu3hamm3r: awesome haul! Can't even imagine having that sort of quality in my collection after a few months!!!

OR2NG: Nice review! I too think the Norev is good value. Definitely adding the China Edition. No point paying AA price for the same thing. Lol.

Yup, that's a classic. It handles better than the Ferrari 348. Gordon Murray when making the McLaren F1 says that he dreams of making the McLaren F1 handle as good as the NSX. The great Ayrton Senna owned one and Jeremy Clarkson praised it as one of the best cars ever made at that time.


Wahlau... Total 7 cars came in one day? Must be durian runtuh.

I believe that is probably seamail with insurance.

For Canada, I rather have airmail without insurance which cost around the same but it's much faster.

Thanks for the comparison pics. Now I'm undecided.

Agree partly. The thing that I do not like is the sparkle from the metallic paint in your example is too big compared to the size of the car. It is almost like using paint 1:1 and using it on a 1:43. Oh well, 1:18 also suffers the same thing but it's more obvious on 1:43 scale. Those 1:43 scale that have perfect paint job is ultra expensive. Likewise for 1:18 too.

Yes, they are comparitively more expensive than USPS from US. No idea why. The USD 130 price may be the price of EMS or airmail with insurance. Next time try air mail without insurance. Anyway, I have received items before from Canada. Actually waiting on one item at the moment but I think that one may have gone sea mail as the seller just sent it out without consulting me.

OR2NG7: Great comparison for Part 1! Thanks for ur effort on this!!! It really bring out the point for those who wan to grab LP-670 but with low budget. Personally i think AA not worth for tat price. ( even own the AA too)

blu3hamm3r: LAOBAN~! 2 KONEIGSEGG 1 F1~~! U R LAOBAN~!

OR2NG7 : NICE REVIEW~!

Everyone here become lao ban ard except me..

jchue73: hw long u have been waiting for ? Sea mail may takes 2-3 months to reach Malaysia.

bluehammer...now many 1:18 u have now in 2 months period of start collections? u really kena racun ar???
