Really surprise, actually if follow TW ver. is this one below.



Actually I not interest on TW ver #24. But seen they change to JP ver. #24 then I want it.



One of the famous rally car in history even it appear on some rally gaming so it was popular. But the design not so beautiful is real, haha...

Same here. That Focus wasn't on my 'want' list but for some reason I just popped by at my regular Popular y'day and snapped the only Renault there.

May i know the reason why Pansing keeps swapping issues from Taiwanese to the Japanese version?

Have been following this thread since day 1 of the release. I was actually waiting for the iconic Mini from Taiwan Vol 9 and the distributor made it as a gifts without prior notice. Then the Vol 10 classic Impreza 555 was swapped after that and now it happened again on Vol 24.

As i know, usually overseas distributors only use special models as subscription gifts and would not turn regular issues into exclusive / contest giveaway.

My biggest worry is by now that it's getting harder and harder to get the collection in my place (East Malaysia). The last release that I got was vol. 21. That also available only in selected popular bookstore and very limited.

What I guess is, the series at TW of #9~10 sold out fast, so Pansing decide to use JP ver to replace somehow.
So now all the issues actually import directly at TW & some from JP, some issues is limited can be know reason below;
1. We actually get the magazine models is the remain stock from TW & JP, it won't reproduction for sure.
2. Not much Collectors in this series, so Pansing decide to reduce the import of the magazine models.
3. After the survey last time, Pansing know what models is popular (except Issue#9~10), so decide to change Issue#24 to something else.
That what conclusion I get so far. But still hope Pansing do their best on importing, don't give up on this series.

One of the savage autos of the short-lived Group B category.

Cars in this area include the: Renault 5 Maxi Turbo, Ford RS200, Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, Lancia 037, MG Metro 6R4, Citroen BX4TC and the most savage of the lot: the Lancia Delta S4.

Off topic, but looks like the Ferrari collection is here already. Saw someone posted a picture of it, but didn't disclose where it was found. First issue is a 458 Italia and priced at RM14.90. There's an exhaustive list out there with all cars in the series and from those pictures it seems the car build quality is rather cheap.. Some are good but most are very toy like.

It must be AllScript done the import somehow not Pansing do, I think...
Cuz last time AllScript failed our request to import this series.
BTW, this collection didn't have acrylic case to cover... is a hard collectible to beware dust...
Will see collect some if appear at my place, but mostly won't arrive at my place.

OK off-topic done here. Back to our RCC.

TW latest Issue#50, any Skoda fans?

Finally arrived...
Hope the Issues#25 will appear soon and follow TW ver.

Saw #25 Sebastian Loeb's Citroen C4 WRC last night. Very similar to the earlier Kimi Raikonen's car sans some decal changes.

Kimi and Sebastien's C4 WRX side by side

After skipping Kimi's C4, I will get Sebastien's C4 WRX.
Wish will appear soon at my place.

TW latest issues#51...

that rearlight cluster!

they should've gone with silver paint instead?

U mean tat Peugeot 208 T16 rite?
Don't know why it like this, but not my target anyway.

yeah. not following the rally car series but this rearlight cluster really made me facepalm

Yeah... actually can't complain too much on magazine model collection.
Only RM56+ every issues, with acrylic case cover, nice base stand, car model and yes magazine indeed.
But the only problem is models itself not so detail for sure, such like Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16v (1989) front wheel rims at Issues#22,
can see the rims finished with so so making...
If compared with the other well known brands or IXO marketing models the prices is up for sure, but detail anyway.
But anyway this series collection some car is worth to collect especially popular models.
So I skip the non popular n unwanted one always...
