Hey J,

Thanks for the link. Yeah I do know that Autoart is releasing it, but I'm more interested in the current version of the 86, specially with the carbon fiber bonnet and bucket seats...i do hope that they do make one...the HW version is nice, but u can open the doors, so it's a bit of a draw back...

So fingers crossed.

Cheers

Mike: walau! you got it already? from singapore? I just booked mine few days ago... should be available in few weeks time.... man! I'll bring in more models within these two months... next year I'll be changing my job... this time moving far away from home.... I gonna miss my ebbros.... minichamps... kyosho

does normal Kyosho 1/18 cost around RM350?
or less?
how much is the cheapest retail price can get in KL for a new set?
thanks

yeap...new Kyosho Rm350 and above... while new Autoart around RM400 and above. save for the best unless ur wallet is thick enuf

myke: wow... looks great from Hotwheels Elite! never know Hotwheels release their version of Reventon... perhaps 1/18 soon??? if like tat, i will definitely feel regret on buying the Bburago version last time... btw, juz check out Mondo Motors version of 1/43 scale, looks terrible if compared to Hotwheels Elite...




mkii: oh u mean the ae86 that can be mod??? izit the 1/24 scale from Hotworks? tat model can convert from a stock version to the tofu car version le...

J,

Yup thats the one...now if only autoart would do it in 1:18....that would be perfect.

Cheers

thx for the reply...

wow.. it's really so detail...
but the price is killing me...
im looking for price max to autoart standard oni...

usd599 cost my life edi... haha...

hi guys! i would like to share my small classic collection le...

jadatoys 1968 chevelle SS 572 1:64 and 1:24, 1:18 ertl 1971 motion baldwin chevelle SS 454


1:25 welly 1963 chevrolet SS impala

1:43 kyosho datsun 240ZG

Yea, its crazy for the MR Models one, but it can be gotten cheaper by bidding, which is around 3xxUS$. still not cheap.....

But I think the Mondo Motors version is good enough, and it cost quite cheap. Or if Jasonist is right about Mattel Elite would soon the 1/18 version, then it would be great.

I would like to buy the Mondo Motors Reventon, but the postage is even more expensive or just cost as much as the model itself....

hmm... im just aiming for more detail 1/18 of Reventon... cuz i saw the Bburago 1 really not that impressive to me...

will look for mondo motors version... but where can i get it locally instead of ebay?

Maisto has 1 reventon too rite? if im not mistaken, i saw it once in Jusco 1U... but im not sure whether i saw it wrongly or wut...

Oh my god! RM400 for AA 1/18 scaled... man! diecast collection is getting beyond reach.... as for the AA Reventon? I didn't saw any news AA will releasing it soon but good news for superleggera, it's confirmed AA will produce it soon.... Ok! I've one 1/24 BBurago Reventon.... I would call it a value model.... you get what you pay for (RM60) if compare to the HW 1/43 elite that cost about RM150 a piece... smaller scale but finely craft......
It's kidda sad, Kyosho drop the Ferrari models in their future release (source from diecastxchane)....

In fact I have tried to consider collecting Mondo 1/43 last time... if not mistaken below 10 pound (plus shipping)... but... drop it.... after seen this http://www.idcow.com/43mon2000.html... - look for mondo reventon.

but the jada LP640 isn't bad...
"2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 diecast model car 1:24 scale die cast by Jada Toys - Flat Black 92081"

Anyway will bring in more great stuff within these two months...

has anyone bought those high end kyoshos display at Toycity? Last time i saw there's F50, James Bond Aston. Really really detail but price is 1k...

Hmm, I dont think Maitso has the 1/18 version. But they have the 1/24 RC version of the Reventon. Im not sure even if Mondo Motors brand is sold locally.

well, i guess it was my mistake cuz normally jusco mixed up bburago n maisto together... so i oso kinda dizzy... haha...
i prefer collecting special 1/18 die-cast...
like convertible which the top can open n close... n stuff like that...

if AA release 1:18 + wif modify parts....
b ready 2 order......MORE PARTS!why???
sure some parts will missing during & after modify~

actually....

Maisto history

Maisto is a company that manufactures die-cast models of automobiles, aircraft, and a number of Tonka products. The company is based in California and their products are made in China and Thailand. Maisto creates 1:12, 1:18, 1:24, 1:25, 1:27, 1:43, and 1:64 scale models. The models are based on vehicles that are popular today. In 2005, Maisto acquired the assets of Bburago, another scale model manufacturer who went bankrupt.

thats why they put them together... like esso and mobil la...they are exxonmobil... to me their reventon is ok what.... MR models is beyond reach la....unless a rich enthusiast who's willing to spend....plus the melting prob of the tires.... aihh....

m happy with both maisto and burago...

Blaze Dragon_89: unfortunately there is no retailers of Mondo Motors here in Malaysia... i never heard of this brand before after the reventon model is introduced... they do have some interesting models such as the Maserati Gran Turismo coupe... too bad seems impossible to get in Malaysia, unless go for online purchase...

tkt: do u encounter this problem on Hot Works models ma???

mirage-rs: yea, since they now share the same quality of diecast, but try compare the quality of Murcielago of Maisto and Bburago, and Dodge Viper SRT-10 between the two makers... Maisto gains better quality than Bburago... on the other hand, the Range Rover Sports diecast have the same quality among the two makers, juz only colors are different...

Yea, I kinda thought like that.The Mondo Motors company should sell their models in Malaysia widely, like Maisto and BBurago. If they do, Im sure that a lot of people will buy its models even though it doesn't have a wide range of models yet... The prices for the models are also reasonable. The Problem to order online is always the postage price...
