No bro, have not tried buying diecast model car but i have tried buying other stuff (clothes, toys) from Amazon even if the seller dont ship to malaysia, coz i got a friend provide service buying from Amazon.. he's also a forummer, but he did not advertise his service here.. just do it for friends and regular customers..

Let me try get one of the cars from Amazon, if everything turns out well, then maybe you guys can use his services in the future

Months are only estimations. God knows they are accurate or not

If compared to Kyosho, not as good.

Just as aquilaTE said. It's much more worth it investing money in manufacturers like Kyosho and AutoArt.
You should get one Kyosho and then one Maisto, compare, and probably you'd never go back to Maisto.

Hehe... that I agreed unless you dun really want to part too much money. How's Paragon? I've not seen one up close.

noted. the Z4 / Z4M will cost 400-500 each if buy from US.. is it cheaper here in msia?

Spam old pic..

I'm not very sure of the prices but here's one of popular local sellers:

Gee: Got more pics of the veyron SS? Hows the details on the interior? The dudes price on this fella is tempting.

yup i bought from them twice its definitely cheaper to buy from them than to import from US:lol:

Hello guys...

Nice collection by you all.

For Kyosho, I hear from the sifus here that Berjaya Time Square has a shop for it.

If you dun mind importing and if the shipping price is right, you can try HK... I only heard/know of New Ace and Model Car Expo.

Hmmmm, actually I regret getting the Maisto SLS and Aventador. Now I wanna sell it and buy Minichamps/AA version, although it cost a few times of Maisto.
I've never had a Paragon, but I heard good reviews about it though.

The Kyosho shop is quite interesting, and I think they receive new stocks faster. Their price point is almost the same as DE. Plus they also sell Maisto and Burago.

Don't know should get the LP570 or not. Worry later AA will release a corrected version just like LP670.

More LP570 shots..

I've gotten both the roadster and coupe versions of the Minichamps SLS and roughly know that it's better than Maisto's version. But I've heard the GT Auto version can compete with Minichamps. The QC on the later SLS I've got was pretty bad... peeled rear sticker and detached(not broken) one side mirror.

nice! recently many ppl get this green lp570! whats wrong with the veyron ss spoiler?

woah! nice shot! the veyron ss look like a real car!

sp: The only picture I have on the interior is this...



The interior is actually quite good. Its carpeted and also has different application like CF etc.

lkwanz: Love the LP570. The green is really beautiful but I already have the Balboni in that colour...so can't really get that for the LP570.

There's a thread in DiecastXChange that compared the GT Auto with Minichamps. GT Auto ... actually not really as good. The thread posted various minus points.
Bad QC on SLS, minichamps?

geeamino: Jus wonder the SS front grill is netting or jus a piece of plastic look alike grill like HW Elite Ferrari front grill? I m so tempting to get one from him since the price he offer is much more cheaper compare to DE.
