Ka Ken: wow looks like the stock baru arrive ya??? would be interested if the price is right...

garagesell: wat is the model le???

Ka Ken: hehe thanks ya!

notyboysn: hey tats nice le... carbon bodywork???

cam5229: nice collection!!! btw, i found tat u have lots of models for the sales on zerotohundred.com, even sunstar models u oso have... i really interested to get a 1/18 2007 Citroen C4 WRC of Loeb from Sunstar but im doubtful if we can get this model here... other tat tat, i found tat a company name Solido oso makes WRC cars... preferably 1/18... nice models u sell there...

Mclaren: yea... last time i saw a yellow Ferari F430 model in kch here is in this kinda package de... its a transparent plastic tube... very nice packaging though, wonder if its any special edition or wat de...

gye325: the maker of this model i think is directly from toyota factory... this model is so detailed tat even the gas door can be opened... price is of coz stunning... u found this model sold in malaysia???

haha... and welcome to the thread... juz share ur experience with die cast collection... any ideas are most appreciated! but die cast hobby is quite expensive in malaysia here ah? from wat u guys mentioned for the price from sg really a huge difference... no wonder i oso found tat most collectors from foreign countries have huge collection in their cabinets... its juz endless to count their 1/18 models!!! haih... different countries different life...

hariray: welcome to the thread...!!! would be nice if u show us the pics here... thanks!

Mclaren: my estimated price for this packaged model will be RM2XX kua... even the tauke oso didnt dare to stick on the price tag for the model... haha!

gye325: nice one... how much u got ur f50 last time?

hokuan: welcome! im sure u can post anything regarding die cast metal no matter are bikes or cars... hey nice bike collection u got there... wat are the brands for this bikes? Jackygwh should be pleased by now...

gye325: eh cool le... u mean like assembly kit? juz like the model kit one?

AssKicker: nice one! u start ur collection on american muscles? how much u got the mustang and ford gt? where u got them? nice combination of american machines...

Cheesenium: hmm... how bout the version 8 one le? maybe the version 9 is more expensive lor...

hokuan: tesco? haha i tot is the hypermarket... are they diecast??? can show us then?

gye325: yea assembly models are nice as we manage to learn a bit from the car... but seldom got diecast assembly kit le... hotworks, maisto are the only diecast model kit i know so far...

AssKicker: aiksss! y they wana raise price again? materials increase perhaps... how long do u wait for ur model to arrive since u order from ebay... the ford gt on RM300 consider very reasonable to me...

have u guys ever wonder if we display our precious car models on cabinet for a long period, the rubber tyres might get FLAT??? by then the tyres wont look so nice since it got flat izit? and have u ever wonder y the models oways being screwed on a plastic tray which the tyres are never being 'landed' on the plastic tray, instead they will leave a little gap between the tyres and the tray... should be some reason y they wont let the tyres touch the tray rite???

according to wat i got from a car model collector, he wont let his models tyres touch the 'ground' coz he fears the tyres might get flat one day since the display is for long term... which is a serious issue for us die cast collectors... so he recommend me to use sth to jack up the models to prevent the tyres from touching the floor... so wat i got is this - THE FLOATING DISPLAY, i did it on my every 1/18 car model...


the materials used to jack up the models


juz stick somewhere underneath the car


after the model being jack up, no worries for the tyres got flatten (in case)


whaa-laa this is wat i call "floating display"

hope to share this idea with u... its ur choice whether to believe o not lar, coz juz in case i don wan my models tyres got flatten nia...

i have no idea le... tats wat i heard from a collector told me de... but i wont take the risk lor... but juz imagine a diecast metal body only got four rubber tyres to support the weight, sometimes this thing is hard to say de...

maybe oso le... anyway, juz now i saw this ferrari model in a tube box from hotwheels in tun jugah tat mclaren post it on the thread last time... the price is RM229! and the yellow F430 is there le... very nice quality compared to mine, oso mint in the tube box... price is not found...

Ka Ken: welcome... do tell us the progress there after ur visit to BTS... thanks!

notyboysn: as for me, i use eraser cut into square shapes, then wrap them with black sticker, as u can see from the pic of my previous post lor...

yup, the 250 GTO but in silver color got sell there... and oso a yellow F430... all in tube package... amazing!

well its juz eraser being cut into cubes and wrap in black stickers... u can use ur own idea to jack up ur models if u wish to do so... coz i have no proof tat the models' tyres will get flat for long term display...

AssKicker: nice mustang... and the v8 vantage... i think aston should look in dark colors like this one, then baru look supercool... don u think so? btw, wats the maker for the carrera gt? quality looks much better compared to my maisto one le...

Jackygwh: here the ae86 sold for RM3XX...

AssKicker: yea... supercool lar... wonder here got sell transformers die cast robots from the movies one hoh?

Jackygwh: yup... too bad its from the original version... and too bad aa cant get the license of initial d, instead the license being grabbed by jada toys... but do take note tat the aa ae86 is under Millennium Edition...
