How can this be so expensive (resin Veneno)?

Post by Emil_SWE » Wed Dec 30, 2015 12:52 pm

649 EUR for a 1:18 resin model? I don't see why it's so expensive...

Not sure if this is the same but it seems to be much cheaper on eBay.

No, that's their "Diecast" version LOL.

Honestly if anyone is stupid enough to buy one, shame on them :poke:

If I was Kyosho I would be embarrassed :oops:

Also I wanted to say if the above pricing is a prelude to their 2016 "resin" Ferrari released they are totally out to lunch! :crazy:

Apparently this is made by Fronti-Art. Even so, I can't justify anything above half of the stated price

boy, I was afraid of this.....

I was really looking forward to the new high end Resin Ferrari F40 and Testarossa by Kyosho. If the rumors are true about the 288 GTO, then I was REALLY looking forward to these three models but the unknown price did have me a little concerned. Unfortunately if the Lamborghini Veneno is that expensive then I bring to think of what the Ferrari models will be.

Might have to shit or get off the pot when the time comes because I LOVE FERRARI..........and Porsche hahah

Even MR models were 200€ less!
So the Ferrari will be even more expensive due to license...
easy pass! I have a lot of resin cars, but diecast's F40 and Testarossa are more than enough for 99% collectors!
