Mclaren: yup... but if u got for hotworks ae86, theres only 1 type of scale available, which is 1/24... if u prefer collecting 1/18 scale, the only selection is from jada toys, which the quality is poorer compared to hotworks... for hotworks, do expect in changing the parts...

Jackygwh: 1/18 - SLK and 911 Turrbo, looks like hotworks focuses on 1/24 scale de... juz now i happen to find out tat hotworks gonna release the Mazda RX7 FC, but juz coming soon, dono when it release... oso 1/24 scale...

yea... make the comparison... tell us more wat u find... but do take note tat, hotworks provides real japanese plate number for the ae86 featured in the manga, while jada toys doesnt, they juz only put "Initial D" as number plate... for me, i personally feel tat the car looks authentic with real japanese number plates, though its a 1/24 scale (no choice mah... hehe)...

myke: RM459 for an aa model is too high lor, unless its made of carbon finishes or millennium limited edition, then nth to say le... maybe u try to go nikko atria ask mr. tommy there to check out whether they will restock the evo9 ralliart? if he comes out with a positive answer, its better to wait for the restock... according to aa, the model is still available... our frens here say it right, doesnt worth so much to purchase the evo9 ralliart , wonder y the toycity tauke so not honest in doing business...

carjack18: do they offer discount... i think its better to get some discount from them...

Jackygwh: yea prce increases from time to time... i wonder how much will a die cast model cost for the next 3 years... RM500???

carjack18: gosh... wat company policy is tat? wat if u tell them using cash payment? last time i oso manage to less RM9 for my Super GT model, which is kinda less, but at least better than nth mah... but for discounts, there is no receipt given, one skinny chinese dude working in Nikko MV seems kinda sucks...

carjack18: well the ford gt costs me RM 350 and above, the most expensive aa model i ever collect lor... since its under Millennium Edition range...

Andy0625: ermm... well nice shot on ur shell ferrai model... have u finished collecting the models?

Ka Ken: sure... waiting for ur shots soon...

alvinsim_cy: got it from a hobby shop in kch here... cost about RM2XX, cheaper than aa models...

lek_e30: have u try ur luck in BTS kyosho?

mine was RM500 for a limited edition model...

notyboysn: have u ever counted the total amount u spend on ur collection?

how bout u guys then? how much do u spend roughly on ur collection?

Ka Ken, i have waited for ur BMW post till my neck turn long lor... where are u???

haha... no prob but finally! how much u got ur safety car? this one looks nice le!

Dor43mon: superb 1/24 scale models are from hotworks price around RM160 and above... but choice is quite limited... other than tat, other normal quality are maisto n jada toys... im sure Toy City does sell quite a lot of 1/24 models...

notyboysn: so any plan for new models?

Mclaren: ah? i tot u juz purchase the model? so fast wana let go?

myke: yeap ur rite, they hq in hk... and hongkong oso is china, so if u see the underneath of the aa models, they will write "CRAFTED IN CHINA" instead of "MADE IN CHINA"...

yea and we cant deny their built quality on these die cast models too... they actually make high quality die cast for sure for hi end brand like aa, hotworks, minichamps, hotwheels etc... juz only i dono where kyosho models are made, though its from japan...

haha no more liao... its time for me to start save up some $$$ le lar...

Ka Ken: since u got the motogp safety car, i can suggest to get the motogp bikes (1/18 scale) from maisto to complete ur motogp collection... sure looks cool if u display all of them together, especially getting position before the race starts...

Ka Ken: yeap... im sure the bikes are more easily found there... especially on the repsol honda, rossi's yamaha etc... complete ur motogp collection man!

Jackygwh: i think the price should be affordable, but maisto has quite lots of packaging for their bikes ya? some are like a box, some got transparency so u can see through one.. some is semi assemble, some is full die cast model...

notyboysn: haha me oso lar... only can see cant buy liao... btw, last time u post ur new cabinet with ur die cast models in it de, i suddenly realized where is ur tokyo drift 350z???

Jackygwh: well i can say is quite not bad... juz only the window area looks a bit fake due to the lack of black trimings... since its self assemble like model kit, i think its quite an interesting collection le... but the price is a bit expensive lor... and its a 1/24 scale...

hey the cmc slr so detail huh? even got real leather interior and look at the engine!!! superb fine detail...!!! no wonder it cost RM800 lar, and impossible to get it COD here lar...

Ka Ken: haha im not forcing u to buy ah... but ur a motogp fan???

Ka Ken: man... superb ford GT40... but they seem to be focusing on classical cars more huh?

Jackygwh: cool le... so many parts to assemble... maybe harder than model kits huh?

guys, kyosho will be releasing the R8 model which i post the real car pic last time! this should be a good news as the quality will not be a problem anymore... however, according to biante, this model is still under production status... expect to be released end of this year or 2008... the price??? from aus$ to RM - RM405.1 excluding shipping fee...

Jackygwh: kyosho price is higher than aa huh? few models spot in the web cost RM400 above after converted to RM... but kch here is very few of kyosho... not like KL got kyosho shop in BTS...

notyboysn: haha no lar, it took me so long time baru got notice lar... hey tat ferrari is a rare model ya? u got it in melbourne one? how much it cost??? hope here got oso...

Ka Ken: last time where u got ur M6 safety car??? how much the kyosho cost u??? its hard to get one M6 here le...

i saw an F430 model here le... but in yellow color de... however the packaging is different from any ordinary hotwheels models, its in a tube-shape transparent plastic case... very nice as u juz leave the car mint-in-the-box... the place is tun jugah... price i dono le...

Jackygwh: yea the only model shop in tun jugah... if ur interested, u gotta find the tauke named Ah Jung, if the model is not there, he might keep it somewhere in the store, or even worse, sold out... but last time (bout 3 weeks ago) i still manage to see the model le... located at the glass cabinet beside the cashier there de...

Ka Ken: toy city - moneysucker
