haha seems hard to find the hotwheels we win hoh......... we know many model for hotwheels..... but the problem is finding it

hmmm....so far,i didn't found any hotwheel F430 or F430 elite version...just saw F430 challenge at toy R us and cost RM100++,feel not really worth...because i intend to collect this car also..

Hi all, I'm also a big car fan...

Spent a couple of days readin this interesting thread, and wow... u guys made me realise that the die-cast world is not just about Maisto and burago... The Autoart and Hotworks models look very detailed!!

My 1st die-cast is a BMW318i (1981?) 1:18 from Maisto. I subsequently bought a Jaguar XJ220 (1:18 by Maisto) and a 1989 Merc 500SL (also 1:18 by Maisto).

I've a few pics of some other cars in my tiny collection to share wif u fellas...

Honda S2000 (made by Tesco!!)


A Porsche, also by Tesco would u believe it (dunno wat model, I'm bad at recognizing Porcshe models)


The 2 dwarfs (dunno wat scale le)


Renault F1 car R25 driven by Giancarlo Fisichella (1:18 I think, by Hotwheels)

Aiming to buy my 1st Autoart or Hotworks car soon... also targetting the Hotwheels F430 (quality not bad) / Maisto DIY 1:24 F430 (that day went Melaka Jusco cannot find )

For Autoart/Hotworks, my budget not more than RM250 ---> anyone can recommend 1:18 cars within the price?
Aaargghh... kena poison liao!

Normal hotwheel cost bout Rm200 in Malaysia but for those latest/popular AutoArt it's easily above Rm300(YOu can try ToyCity, even worse that they price Autoart stuff at Rm450 ). Unless some old models like the Subaru Ver 7(Bug eye) which i once saw going for bout RM159.90.

Finally,i got myself 2 more new models.I got 1 Khoysho Lamborghini Miura P400 and an AA Aston Martin DBR9.

Will be posting up the pics soon.

welcome to the thread! ur a big fan of f1 too? btw, its nice to see ur collection here... collecting diecast is nice as long as u have to the passion on it... slowly u can see ur collection grow larger and larger and u will feel satisfied... bearbear says it rite, nowadays aa models are more expensive especially the newly released... the bad news is tat u cant expect those new ones cost below RM260 anymore... maybe the cost to produce these models has increased...

btw, i kinda worry the price of new f1 models would be increased as well... and i have no idea either we will get 2007 f1 models this year onot since mattel itself has lots of issues regarding the safety of their products, which hotwheels is affected as well...

I stopped following F1 after Schumi retired Nowadays I believe the race is much more open with a lot of talented youngsters/rookies... I used to support the Sauber team (patriotik ) when they had Kimi, Heidfield...

RM260 I still can tahan and consider... but RM270+ will onli spend if special occasion (birthday, Christmas ), and of course if special car... I don't mind old models though (like Evo IV - VI, old Lambos)...

If go Sg leh... can get AA around RM250 there? How bout Hotworks 1:18 scale at RM250... possible, no?

pepperboy: welcome welcome to this thread!! Yes most of us are die hard collectors of scale models.. SG of course you can get AA around 250 onwards ..like what bearbear say Toycity just go and see the model u want but source somewhere else..the price is killing seriously ..RM500 for a kyosho..my god..i got mine 1/2 price only

btw..welcome to this forum and share with us your models

i want picture, price and location!!!

okayy.. there's this Kyosho i want to buy. a 575GTC. but it's a friggin RM499.00.

oh well. back to reality.

My AA Aston Martin DBR9 cost about RM 340 or $120 Aus Dollar before discount.I bought it from a shop along the Gold Coast Highway.

Pictures,i'll post them up when im free.

Australia sumore, reach malaysian mai reach Rm400 mark?

Pepperboy : welcome to this thread.....wat a nice model u had

Cheesenium : mind i know which part of gold coast u found the car??surfer paradise??

haha the price !!! btw, izit matt black or normal red or yellow de ah?

no shop in KL selling AA????.....

I carry back myself so it's free.No shipping.My Kyosho Miura cost 99 Aus Dollar before discount.

It's in a place call Palm Beach,south of Surfer Paradise and Mermaid Beach or Nobby Beach.The shop has a blue sign board called Model Cars Pit Stop,located beside the Gold Coast Highway.Looks pretty old and it's ran by an old man.He's quite friendly but i cant really understand what he says due to the Aus accent.

The price of the model cars in Surfer Paradise is ridiculous.A Jadatoys 1:24 car cost RM100+.

it's a normal red one. i'd bet the price of a matt black one would easily reach twice the price of that..
