If you blow the tyre with hairdryer, not very good move since rubber and heat doesn't mix. Rubber need some moisture to keep lively.

Also if the car sits on 4 tyres suggest you change the tyre position frequently or else all the weight will lie on the same point it might change the tyre shape.

Why not apply some tyre polisher or leather protector instead? And actual car polisher on the metallic paints?

I tried car polisher on diecast toys before. Seems to look great. Just don't apply on non metal parts.

Tyre & leather protector i never use, but i assume if the tyre protector works on real tyres it should work on toy car tyres.

Canw e bulk order the initial d ae86? i can clearly see the pedals from the pictures.

Would like to know where to buy charcoal?

Can those charcoal pills sold in pharmacy be used to reduce odor & humidity since they are small and well shaped.

I saw these in ToyCity it's packed in cardboard box don't know if it's the same, but i think quality wasn't that nice for the ones i saw in midvalley.

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...

The bubbles occur in factory or after you display them?

it would be cheaper to buy a dehumidifier machine instead of hippos in the long run...

I'm thinking it might be more of heat issue, since it's easy to understand heat makes things expand and contract, while humid is more on external issues. Bubbles seems to have it's problem rooted from the inside.

Camera drybox so dark cannot see the car inside la.

Toycity at KLCC is having 20% sales on cars.

Parkson also having 20% sales at KLCC.

Bukit Bintang is some distance from KLCC wo... look for Metrojaya lo.

Can some guys give a general pro & cons from different manufacturer of different scales maybe starting with:

1.Maisto
2.Auto Art
3.Kyosho
4.Burago
5.Hot Wheels
6.Tomica
7.Nikko
etc etc etc?

Coz some are priced higher than others while sometimes they don't look as accurate/nice.

But I know nothing about brand vs product, just know Kyosho are usually more expensive.


And Mirage-RS, becareful when you wipe those dust off coz you might be welcoming scratches if you do it improperly.

Was wondering what's the price difference between Maisto and Auto Art. Coz i always see them together in super markets but i know Auto Art is more expensive.

Other than the accuracy, what about those lights, windshields? I'm quite picky about lights as some give plastic looks. And windshield, it's just about the light scratches.


What about Maisto higher end i think it's rm20-30 more than normal Maisto.

Anyone bought the "My Old Friend" cars. I see Beetle & Ninja Turtle Van. Weathering looks quite nice and the way they wear the car down.
