Akid: No, no, no... I'm not rich.... I have planned budget for my collection.... pick up models that I want only... make every penny count!!! Any new haul from you tai ko ???

Jason: Yeap! it's an ebbro 1:43.... just released towards the end of December 2008. In fact I should have purchased one SC430 earlier... cause I was in dilemma to choose between the Zent Cerumo SC430 and Petronas Tom's SC430.... I'm a great fan of Yuji Tachikawa and I already have these cars in my cabinet ...

Kyosho 1:64:


Ebbro 1:43:


kidda redundant if I get another Zent Cerumo... after 3 weeks of serious thinking, I've decided to get the Petronas Tom's (won the 2008 GT500 Team title) to compliment my 2008 Xanavi Nismo GT-R (won the 2008 GT500 Driver title) ....
and all my models are kept in the original box... need to carry out periodic check to ensure the rubber in good condition .

Myke: Great work! Your new look F50 looks sportier than before. You and Jason are good in photo shooting & editing...
Just one question, I wonder if Ferrari F50 GT even exist in 1:18 scaled? It would be nice if you can have one in your cabinet .
Regarding the maintenance pure white models... it's kidda difficult to keep the paint in tip top condition after sometime... no matter how you
clean them... the paint will turn into yellowish... I'm still ok with that, as long as the sponsors logo are recognizable.

Jason: Can you post the hippo product that you used to such the heat... I've no idea how it looks like... thank you.

Since the thread is flooded by GT-R for quite sometime.... let's me show something different....

Aurion: Walau! you are Ferrari die hard fan don't you? Aiyoo, you back from OZ land, should pick up some V8 cars... either Holden Commodore or Ford Falcon... you shouldn't missed their V8 supercar models.





Jason: Hope to see your Aussie outdoor shooting soon.... "watch out for the redback spider there"... Aussie spiders are extremely poisonous.....

Myke: Thank you. Here's the EVO9 as you asked me to pair with the EVO X.... Looking forward to see your Kyosho GT-R photos...




Ericmaxman: You really a Maisto freak... happy diecasting...

Anyway I'll not post here so often as most of you guys are 1:18 collectors.... do visit my blog and drop me some comments. Thank you.

Aurion: Good! hope you found a treasure hunt there...
Ericmaxman: As far as WTCC is concern, BMW models are made by Spark and Minichamps... Norev only produce few models of WTCC/ BTCC cars... these models are super rare in Asia, I'm afraid you need to get it from Europe or US...

Since the 2009 Super GT season opening is around let me spam some photos...

ericmaxman: £25 - £29 is quite common if you buy from UK. That's the price I normally paid for 1:43 models...

Close to RM200 including shipping...

Aurion: Another great model you got there.... In fact I'm looking for the M3 GTR... hope minichamps produce it next year....


<My next target is building up my BMW race car collection.... might pick up a handful in months to come....>

Jason: Nice to hear from you again. Yeap! those V8 Supercars were bought from the Aussie last year with the help of my bro...
The V8 Supercar is as BIG as following race competitions in the respective country.
e.g. 1. Nascar in the US
2. LeMans 24 hr in France
3. DTM in Germany
4. Super GT in Japan
5. BTCC in UK.

You can't afford to miss it when you are there !!! Do keep us updates on your life there ....

Jason: Wah! That's place remind me of so much memories.... Melbourne City... Tai Ko, there is a diecast shop - "HobbyPlace" situated somewhere in Swanston Street... not exactly opposite the Melbourne State Library but close... perhaps you can go there cuci mata!!!

Aurion: That's a real M3 GTR - it's confirmed Minichamps gonna produce it in December this year... I'm waiting to grap one....

Mike: I only checked the 1/43.... you may check it on minichamps site....
Due to recent hike in US dollar I'm stopping getting models from HK
and other Asian region... furthermore Asian seller are too profit
minded.... Now I rather spend more to get from Europe or US....

Walau! what have happened to this thread recently?... like haunted house... no one at all....

Where is all the tai ko? MYKE any news on your Kyosho GTR??? the 1:43 already landed in SPore ages ago...

Jason... any update from the Aussie land???

Well, got some new arrival today... but only post on my blog...

Jason: I saw one (1:18 MC12 - HW elite) in tai ko spikey collection before. I guess the model was released for quite some time already. That AUD$169 (RM420 ++) price tag might be too high for HW class (AA maybe worthwhile)... Nice R8 photo...

Myke: I know where you source that BBR F430 ... that's a good deal.
I notice that 1/43 scaled BBR ferrari ain't cheap at all... it cost tripple the price of the red line version...

Jason: come show us any great stuff from aussie?? I kena your CL63 venom .... now it's all in my blood... I've been searching high and low for it (1/43)... finally found one... you and mike really kicking me into the road car collection.... should have few new arrival in next few weeks... sorry, I'm lazy to post at so many place do visit my blog for latest collection updates...

Raging bulls....


The challengers...

This post has been edited by REALCollector: Apr 26 2009, 12:01 PM

Myke: Yeap! AA do have the 1:18 scaled Z4... But not my prefer scaled (collect 1:43 only )... waiting for Minichamps' Z4 instead.
I'm planning to get the Red Line Ferrari F360 Jim Gardner (SuperGT)... but the price... over kill .... cost nearly RM480 for one 1:43 model..


Jason: Please keep us update with your new additions with Aussie theme... outback (with Abo chasing around) ???

Aurion: Great BMW cars there ...

Ok! since I've chance to post here, let me spam my 1/43 collection...

Myke: Yeap! on average one pcs of RedLine Ferrari cost about US$100 ++. That's about RM400 ++ (including shipping) in RM. HPI do make great detail model but no Ferrari in their line up... Picked up a parcel from POS yesterday.... something surprise to show you later.... clue: "Road car"

Ok! my boring part 2 continue...
