Ya. I'm awared of that as a good buddy over the other thread mentioned it. It's not an issue. I'm taking it as an investment. hehehe Plus I believe not many will continue to the end when they realized it will cost over 2k in the end. hehehe. I wanna complete it! that's why I already went all out and met the supplier to have them give me the assurance that I'll get what I want. This post has been edited by edwardc: Nov 19 2010, 08:29 AM

To all you guys who collect this, actually RM2k is not that much considering you how much u spend annually on diecast. RM2k...can buy you...2 unit 1:18 BBR...1.6 unit 1:18 MR Collections...5.2 units 1:18 Minichamps F1....or 3.8 units 1:18 Autoart McLaren F1. I called the centre of subscription and they said they want to see how the market reacts on this products and if its good...they will launched it on Jan 2011 and full commitment will on the way but if its bad..then they will discontinue . So it might be WIP for this McLaren. But what I heard from this guy, he has been receiving lots of calls regarding this DeAgostini McLaren things and its seems positive, although I have friends in UK they are not all commit into it as DeAgostini previously have such marketing strategy but in the end it discontinue half way plus some ill-fittings part! So, its just a little gamble for this collections, who know by end of 2011 or early 2012.....when it really completes, then we should have 1 set complete 1:18 detailed McLaren Mercedes. Mind you......a 1:8 Amalgam could cost you around RM16k +-. Also heard some reliable source that got someone who is a former "very high" ranking government people who also collect this models and his Secretary often buys for him when released. Added on November 27, 2010, 11:12 am Basically showcars are like this dude......no point to buy. Better buy JB Australia 1st win with McLaren. This Allscript guy told me that they are waiting for the CEO decision whether to give the free gift or not and will call me within 20 days, he promised that Issue 2 will not be available at bookstore. I'm not sure how many days had passed since I met and talked to him but I still have not received a call and saw Popular already had Issue 4! Damn it. I don't wanna misssed any issue! Will call tomorrow! This post has been edited by edwardc: Nov 28 2010, 03:43 PM

Getting Started Junior Member 175 posts Joined: Aug 2007	Hahaha. Got a lot of parts already. But only the 1st issue is assemble-able. Even got pictures also don't look impressive lo. Plus my front wing kinda screwed up. Gonna buy again if I came across any. haha Or perhaps show u the difference between a 1/8 rim and tire with a 1/18 rim and tire. hehehe
