nice shots jason !

i think people who collects 1/18 F1 cars will have limited choices in the future. lets wait for minichamps announcement

Planning to get it too..
But I never buy online, any problem with the custom?
Any guideline to buy it online? hmm...

from my experience buying DVDs and videogames from oversea, the safe limit is around Rm 300++. I mostly do my purchasing by using credit card

thanks! yup n tats a very bad news for collectors... but i don fear for other collectors from foreign countries, but for malaysia, i really doubt for the stock available from some makers which are not so familiar in the country like Solido, Norev n even minichamps since its not so widely available in the country...

Total shame, since I recently convinced mum to get me another F1 car for birthday! I guess have to settle for Kimi's Ferrari only this year!

About buying stuff online, I think that electrical appliances are among the items that get taxed. I spent RM2500+, no problem with custom[Don't mind that under-declaring value of item ]

I'm going to Singapore this May to buy F1 Minichamps!




Also, Norev who recently won the rights to produce Renault F1 team in 1:18 has confirmed that they'll be producing Alonso's model only. What a shame there won't be Piquet's model

Here is the link to pre-order

Renault 1:18 F. Alonso-2008

wah...ur mum really sayang u alot...buy so much thing/toys for u......my mum will scold me everytime i got new model...hahhaha.....

same...lolz...btw...anybody trust ebay...cuz got 1 fella selling a f2007 full livery for so cheap

My brother go... . He said that I should be collecting Barbie dolls like my cousins. You should have seen the look on the cashiers and salesperson face when they saw me standing there for 20minutes trying to look for Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts/Tomicas/Bburagos I love cars. I found one super T-hunt 2 months ago, no luck lately.

Do you mean the ebay Malaysia? I think that guy is a collector trying to offload his collection on eBay

Kimi Raikkonen F2007 Full Liveries
Currently going at RM140, however he has placed a reserve on the car. So if the amount of bidding does not meet his 'reserve', he has the choice of not selling it. Very cunning to do so!

140 is very cheap leh....feel like bidding...but scare he cheats...>.<...sumore no soft tire mark....

He could probably cheat, who knows if he placed a reserve price of rm400++? Then he can easily choose not to honour the highest bidder since the highest bidder fails to meet his reserve price.
Plus he has no obligations to sell his item to anyone so long the reserve price isn't met!
At RM140, the reserve is not met yet.

PS.I'm not accusing anyone.

I feel like bidding too... but I don't endorse smoking so it's yours if you want to bid!

IINM, all f1 07 car model does not comes with the white line in tyre mark since the white line rule was introduced in Malaysia GP and not at Melbourne where the 1st race was.

Regardless, there are models on eBay that have the white soft markings. The uber expensive Amalgam 1:8 model has it! I think the white line is neat, purely for aesthetic reasons.

ebay??it depends...ur luck.sometime u have to be aware of their feedback/reputation.this model i saw before in ebay.Ya..if not mistaken,RM400..i do believe this model got some problem....

is there any 1/18 minichamps mp4/22?

Yes, definitely there are! Minichamps owns the right to produce Mclarens in 1:43 and also 1:18. BMW is the only other car that Minichamps also produces in 1:43 and 1:18. Since Mattel had decided to renew their license to produce Ferraris only this year, people are expecting Minichamps to buy a few more license to produce in 1:18.

However, Minichamps 1:18 is pricey, about RM370+

Here
to purchase Lewis' MP4-22 in 1:18 by Minichamps from Mclaren Mercedes Official Store.

wah,PearlyLPU...u're uite familiar now with where and how to get f1 car...........
but do surprise tat u're a girl.....cos seldom got girl so familiar and interested on this kind of model collection.

Oh,really? I'm super-pissed off with my sis, this is the second time we had to postpone our trip since the company won't let her take holiday.
To console my broken heart, mum's getting me another model. [Taking advantage LOL] Cannot decide between Nico Rosberg or Massa? I wonder to those that own the Hot Wheels Ferrari, worth getting Massa's model? I didn't pay close attention to the model when I was at the shop but his helmet looked funny. I cannot find pictures of Massa's F2007 model on Flickr. The Williams are said to be decent

Is anyone watching F1 testings? Because I have problem finding the channel[Using a streaming player ]. I've been clicking on all channel for countless times. But all I get is golf, or some news channel!

By the way TVUplayer is great for you to watch F1 races live on your laptop using broadband connection. I have problem when dad wants to watch football. No lagging in the pictures too. Astro must be mad at anyone using the player
