jasonist: of course i will take the shots ...later i will post some shots of my FXX ..i'm ok with jap cars..last time used to favor european league but now i am into JGTC and WRC..so I really like the Jap versions esp the Skyline and the Impreza..but I think the new Subaru 2006 WRC would be $$ haha..I might plan to get the 307 WRC ..

thanks a lot jasonist hehe..i might be ordering it from SG.. ok here are some of my photos of the Ferrari FXX by HotWheels Elite edition..




Love the engine and the seatbelts ( made of nylon and the belt buckle is chrome )

jasonist: actually i have heard of this brand..it is one step more advance than AutoArt ( higher detail than AA & even more accurate) and of course the price is even $$ haha..

my colleague just bought this at SG (same place we order the models in SG)..price? a whopping SGD 500+ ...wow

It's actually the Maserati MC12 Test car used by M. Schumacher..




Rare and havent even seen one before

wishing everyone a very happy CNY! may this new yr will bring us more luck,health,wealth and lots more AA/scale model collections!

haha i got it Naka7a..i reedit my post di haha...true true..havent seen this here..if they have..it would be the best combination on it..

gundaman: try nikko at Damansara Jaya (Atria Complex).There's a guy manning the shop called Tommy.Quite friendly and helpful..I think he has more choices than MV.Other than that,you can try Times Square for D1 models & Initial D cars including hotworks racing editions...

Other than that,some collectors here also order online..or source from neighbouring countries like Singapore..(F1 Motorsports @ Orchard Road,Meritus Mandarin Hotel) ..

cheesenium: haha it's a v.nice car and the details is A++ but the price is.. hehe..

jasonist: thanks a lot for the info..guess i might be hunting for the hotworks one now..haha.really like the way Jay Chow drive the car leh in the movie..damn..(like the gal too hehe )

jackygwh: ok man we go hunting mission for AE86 now hehee....

oh yea... i would like to ask... where is actually WISMA ATRIA located? issit a shopping complex? are there any convenience transport to go there such as LRT??? izit far far away from the city centre? or izit located near the 1 utama???

[/quote]

jasonist: ya la still rmb the part Jay Chow drive one hand and relaxing ..damn cool eh..and also the part the girl kiss him in the AE86 hahahaaha..

ok ok..Wisma Atria..it's actually called Atria Shopping Complex in DJ(Damansara Jaya) nearest LRT would be the last stop (Kelana Jaya lrt )From there you take a taxi..about RM5 to go there..most taxi fella would know Atria complex..it's also quite near 1U but not as busy or happening as 1U laa..

Once u arrive in Atria,the shop is 3rd floor or 2nd .cant rmb..a guy called Tommy (>middle age guy) quite friendly and helpful..u take a look there and see which model interest u cos he also has catalogues of AA & Minichamps etc...

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

jacky..u got no comment meh..put some of ur idea/comments here la..haha

wow..just 2 days off from the scene and so many new happenings haha...

butterflydarling: no prob..u're most welcome..hope u'll get good marks for your assignments hehe

so now the debate is gallardo eh? ...hmmm maisto..forget it la..quality is bad leh.. anyone got the gallardo spyder? is it out?

jyi: nice pics..esp the CSL..

jasonist: our advice is just be careful lor nowadays..but rmb the taxi fare should be around RM5+ scared later if taxi cut throat then ur AA model would be more expensive later..haha

jasonit: speaking of wrc models,went to Jusco 1U and found them selling BBurago again hehe after a long time missing in action..they have the 1:32 scale die cast & tuners collection but the wrc is nicer..quite ok for this scale..details are ok with bucket seats,seat belts etc..

have a look :



but i am targeting the Subaru WRC..cant find..only have the ford and citroen..

they come in a transparent casing with the name and base to protect from dust..Price?? dunno worth it or not..RM59.90...
