I said I never would but...

Post by [KRAFTIG] » Fri Dec 27, 2013 11:26 pm

I'm contemplating collecting the GMP Street Fighter Series cars. How many are there? Are there other companies that produce the same theme in 1:18? Does anypne here collect them, what are your thoughts? TIA!

I too have thought about adding a couple. If you do go this route get the Hot Rod Magazine yellow Camaro. Just don't out bid me!!!!

I would stick with Camaros myself. But the Fords are nice. I am just not a Ford fan.

I wouldn't do it. I'd rather collect the authentic muscle cars without any sort of tacky chrome mods, but then thats me and I'm an anal collector haha. If you dig it, do it. Check the online retailers posted under "Links" on the main page. Some retailers might still have a couple.

I like modernizing of classic cars. Love watching the show Overhaulin' too :D To collect the cars from the era will open up another can of worms, once that I can't afford or have the space for :shame:

That's the dark side of this hobby... You need certain amount of discipline otherwise you'll go broke and insane :money: :money:

While I really like the execution of these models (& resto-mods in general), I do prefer original looking cars.

That being said, I've always really liked the GTX-based Streetfighter X or Hammer.
