REALCollector: thanks for the link there! gosh i think the collector seems to have endless photoshoot session on the models...

myke: time to join in le!

joewin: nice post! got lights one ya? keep them coming!

iman_210: wats drybox??? mind to explain more or show some pictars on how u keep the models?

lolzzz... tats serious business! the cabinet looks high tech... but i think i will juz stick to hippo suckers...

seems tat autoart really produces Initial D version of AE86!!! and it secretly sells the model in Japan ONLY! damn u Autoart!!!

http://dunstopshopping.blogspot.com/2008/0...dy1-status.html

myke: wow... the price... expect RM600 including all the shipment fees... don think worth it for a AE86, even more expensive than the Veyron model... looks like better stick back to the Hotworks 1/24 ok le...

cham2020: tats not good for us, only good for the Japanese...

REALCollector: thanks for sharing...!

advocado: well, tats aa quality... but i don think bulk order is worth the move since the price per one model is considered too much...

guys... have u ever wondered on using charcoal to suck the humidity besides the chemical usage such as Hippo suckers? Charcoal seems to be another alternative not only to reduce odour but i think it oso can reduce humidity too, juz pop out from my mind juz now... wat u guys think?

v26davk: FXX u might as well visit Parkson or Jusco and take a look, 360 Modena i fear for no stock available le... unless u can try ur luck at Graffiti Toys BTS... otherwise the other way is through online purchase - ebay... all these Ferrari models are from Hotwheels

iman_210: yup... as myke said, the coverage is limited lor... other than tat, Hippo is the current way to reduce humidity... but dono charcoal idea will work onot...

myke: nop... it simply juz pop out from my mind... coz previously i was listening to a radio station, they say charcoal can reduce smell in shoe cabinet, then i was thinking since charcoal is a dried wood, it should not only suck smell but perhaps humidity... of coz, we might need to change them from time to time... we might as well let it dry under the sun and reuse it over and over again... save money and save environment too... but this is juz my thought lar...

i got it from a hobby shop here in Kuching... the tauke there sometimes got order some rare car models but most of the time not many stock due to poor market here...

its from Minichamps... well, if online purchase is ok for u, u can try tat... but do expect the price to be dear coz its no longer available in the market le...

iman_210: yea... nth much we can do le... despite the spoilt view, as long as it can prevent the cars from bubbling then should be ok le... and talking bout DBS, here u go


its the version from Casino Royale... produced by ERTL (the one tat produces movie cars such as the Fast & the Furious), however the quality is so-so but the model is now no longer available in the market le...







last time i managed to find this model in Amcorp Mall hobby shop tat sells a lot of figures... too bad the hobby shop always closes when i visit there... it seems tat the hobby shop only opens in certain time... it was last year's Jan when i saw it, dono now still got stock onot... u can try take a look there...

REALCollector: sweet GTR there... im sure both these makers will make tonnes of money in producing this model le... for me, 1/18 autoart FTW!!!

advocado: oh got this charcoal ma? sounds great too... maybe can try but i dono whether they will work onot...

wow... so many ppl are interested in DBS eh??? perhaps currently the best offer is from Shell kua... affordable too!

cham2020: how u gonna mod the DBS??? u plan to blacken the wheels ma? perhaps it might look cool... btw the rims still look ok kua, although the rim patterns on 1/64 are similar among each other... they share one thing in common, those wheels are low-profile, which make the cars look nicer!

Grajindo: aiksss... sad scene of diecast there eh... maybe u need to spend more effort on sweeping off the dust eh...

xcrue: great initial d collection there... btw perhaps u can get a customized case to store all the cars together... tat might look better i guess...

mkii: hi mkii! thanks for the valuable advices and stay here! i never know smoking can cause bad effect to the models too... n im glad to hear tat the Hippos are ok and don bring any side effects to the model... and yea, too bad Malaysia weather is humid... its kinda sad tat there is nth much we can do to prevent the cars from deteriorate but only to reduce the speed of deterioration... how bout ur collection now? do u still keep them or sell them off le?

REALCollector: sweet Impreza!!! everytime when i see ur Super GT collection, i was hoping AA will juz release them asap... the CUSCO Impreza is one model tat i wish to have in 1/18 other than the GTR... Yamano is a very lucky guy i can say...

yshiuan: well, u can check this out... http://www.grandprixlegends.com/Info/Scale_Guide.html#other

guys, since the DBS fever is here, perhaps u can go online purchase for the Minichamps version...quality is no doubt, its the price that u willing to pay for a 1/43 scale...

http://www.grandprixlegends.com/diecast-le...-2008-1-43.html

and btw, got the parcel from tkt yesterday... heee

great packaging from tkt!

Blaze Dragon_89: hihi i saw ur models are displayed juz beside the window... have u been displayed them there for a long time oredi? coz the heat may transfer from the window to the car models and may cause damage to the paint... perhaps if possible, u might wana place the models distance away from the window...

my latest diecast acquisition from tkt - 2006 & 2007 D1GP Blitz ER34 Twinpack... superb detail liveries despite the 1/64 scale size... thanks tkt!

Autoart does produce the AE86 Initial D version, but restrict the availability in Japan only... the model does not come with carbon fiber bonnet...
http://dunstopshopping.blogspot.com/2008/0...dy1-status.html

one of our forumers has the link to Play-Asia where u may be interested to get it through online purchase...
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-8x-77-...en-70-2w6q.html
however after calculation of shipment expenses all those, the price is much expensive than the Bugatti Veyron model...

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...

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...

JtuneD: great pics there... thanks for info! never know Maisto is super fast to produce the 2010 Mustang already... juz saw some official pics of the 2010 Mustang in the web few days ago then whaa-laa, oredi got the diecast version...

tkt: aiksss... the FC!!! this really makes me regret of purchasing the Jada Toys version last time le... the hotworks 1/24 scale FC will definitely fit with the tofu car and FD Initial D collection but not the Jada Toys version...

haha let me consider first lar...

fuiyoh... did i miss sth??? talking bout the Celica, i don think there is any diecast models of it available le... however the GTS version is available from Autoart... btw check this out, this is somewhere release in Europe...


http://www.xanga.com/toyotageek/594877132/new-stuff.html

and bout the 370z, i don think i will get it if its released in diecast model... not a fan of the design since it shares the gene of 350z... n i got after-effect oredi from the aa 350z s-tune melting tyres...

superb quality there despite the 1/43 scale... i like the shiny wheels the most... btw, the rear lights seem to be a bit imbalance between each other eh, one look up one look down... wat maker is tat?

twtang: wow if i don have a mustang now, i might be interested in tat Saleen version...

cham2020: interesting collection there! this should be the newer version of NSX by looking at the headlights... and yea, since its an acura, it should be a left hand drive eh...

demonicle:
tats sounds scary eh...
