1:18 Scale Engine Models, now that's new

Dunno how much... hopefully will be cheaper than RM100? 1:18 will be quite small for engine nia...

Edit: Alamak... looks like I'll be wrong... Just checked Enterbay's toys... all luxury-end wan Even their 1:43 models also USD50 (even tho they're new in makin car models)

Yup.
Enterbay stuffs won't be cheap.
They just get the Ferrari License therefore i think will have a wide range of Ferrari Model.
Haha their upcoming 1/6 Bruce Lee Action Figure cost around RM1k.

If anybody got Enterbay Garage models pls post some reviews Quite interested altho I very pain wanna part with USD50 (still got shipping I think) for a 1:43 model from a relatively new manufacturer of car models...

BTW, HW Elite how much ar and are they worth the price?

U can get Enterbay Garage at here.
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
Not sure when they will have it.

Well US$40, for 1/43 scaled model? BBR models can cost up to RM1.5K for the similar scale... it's a matter of personal interest... if you feel worthwhile then go ahead... diecast collection not a cheap hobby mate!

The game launch at November 18th!

both the game & die-cast cars are gonna be worth the wait!

What I saw from ebay... one pcs of HW elite should cost around US$80-US$120.. depends on model....

Pepperboy, let me share my collection experience with you. You got to collect with a direction. e.g. my fav. model is Ferrari then only focus collecting Ferrari, then look at the scale? do you have big space to house your collection... unlike HW basic, you can Sapu as much as you can.... these high end models propabbly cost you 30 time of a HW basic car (a pcs). Next look for reliable source, e.g. reputable ebay seller....

I'm actually a great fan of Ferrari but those 1/43 scaled (Kyosho/ Red line/ HW - very limited choice) are damm expensive to own... I'll rather collect racing car models e.g. Le Mans, Super GT, etc.... in less than 4 months I'd collected about 30 pcs (visit my posting here http://mydc.ipbfree.com/index.php?showtopic=37&st=0) of 1/43 models from around the world, US, UK, Germany, Japan, Australia, HK, China and Singapore (none from lousy Malaysia shop).... brands Includes AutoAtrs, Ebbro, IXO, Kyosho, MiniChamps and Spark... nearly an BBR models (but kena outbid).
As for the Enterbay models... well, I'll rather go for established brands that had proven track in sales (collector fav.) If you want super detail, go for 1/18 scaled.

Happy collecting mate....

Thanks for the heads up REALCollector... I am quite picky on the models I buy, that's y my collection grows very slowly (at least that limits my spending somehow)

Space not until so much problem... And I saw some of those Kyosho 1:43 Ferraris (beautiful finishing) at a local toy shop --> around RM200+!! And I hav def seen ur collections, beautiful and detailed! I guess prices also RM150+, but at least they're Ebbros mostly... I also saw some Tamiyas 1:64 Super GT models at RM45 --> worth it?

Guess I'll hav to put on hold the Enterbay cars and look around for the Elite version of the Scud...
