well,for AE86,i had take a look for this car which i mentioned earlier.but i still dun know who is the manufacturer.but i'm sure tat is not from hotworks or Autoart.cos the packaging was showing Intial D.but wat i can say is the paint works is good.and with the Tofu livery too. The shop selling 2 scales of AE86,for 1:18 around RM200+ and for 1:24 is around RM120 if i'm not mistaken.feel wan to get tis car once i got the $$$..

Disappointed tat can't able to find any Safety car around.but was interested on this car


it comes with 2 cars in stead of 1 and selling around RM119-RM139.does anyone owned this car??

the ae86 u mean might be jada toys le... coz so far theres only 1 manufacturer produce inital d version ae86 in 1/18 scale... but if compared with aa, the difference is there le...

ur interested in smart? nice car and unique le, but don have interest to collect yet... hehe!

yeah Mclaren i saw jada initial d also mahalnye for such quality..... if 200 + i willing to get AA... and stick the decal myself then tat will be the best initial D AE86 u can ever find

hi there...i see that this is a diecast fan's thread. i need help and i think u guys can give me the best and most suitable info and pics. ^^

im doing an assignment on 3minutes advertising these diecast cars.. may i know things like the most popular company that produce these diecast and where can i get my source?

thanx guys!

jasonist: sorry lor atria only has Nikko and nothing else is nice over there..kinda quiet place..

butterflydarling: well well nice to see a girl in this thread haha..hmm let's start with the source 1st

For Klang Valley :

1) Nikko Toyshop ( Avenue K @ KLCC,Midvalley & Atria Complex @ DJ)
2) Times Square ( a few of them inside)
3) Toycity ( Most complexes like 1U,KLCC,MV..)
4) Jaya Jusco/Parkson
5) Tamiya Underground ( 1U)

These are the most popular sources to obtain numerous brands of die-cast models like AutoArt,Minichamps,Maisto,HotWheels & Tamiya

For brands,the most popular company depends on the level of the collector..some are die hard AutoArt fans that only collect AutoArt while some are a mixture (like myself) who collects various brands such as AutoArt,HotWheels,Tamiya,etc..

On the whole,the popular brands are (based on my research) :

1) AutoArt
2) Maisto
3) Bburago
4) HotWheels

Hope this helps

guys... don u forget another die cast manufacturer - kyosho? a fine and high quality die cast manufacturer from japan... but kyosho puts more focus on remote control vehicles... kyosho mostly produces western cars and japanese classic cars and the first gen skyline is the most popular among kyosho collectors... kyosho shop is available at bts if im not wrong...

ya..u're right,Jasonist.kyosho shop is at BTS as i went there yesterday.but they're closed.

jus have a chat with her regarding the diecast model car!

There is only one shop there.I find the choices there are damn limited.He only have Japan GT's 350Z and Supra,lots of Impreza but not the one i want ,2-3 Lancers and a few other cars.They really cost like a bomb but they look so damn nice.Kinda like that 350Z and MX5.

1U's U-Parkson has this car.It's in the toys section and it fits your description exactly.

new sale for my little car........sports and antique come have a look

Nice stuff....but how's the quality? If compared with maisto?

i assure u beeter than maisto.....as i last time got collect maisto and bburago......bow now i only selling 1/20,1/24,1/43 .............very detail......even 1/43 inside got brake pedal!!!!!heap lamp and back lamp made of plastic ,not by paint ........even maisto 1/24 lamp also painted

checked.No smart car at 1U's U-Parkson la..
