Lol just one. I inspected it but came home to find the letter "F" of the Ferrari logo on the engine lifted a little, but that's fine.

Lucky13 wrote:Guys, I am telling you. Every person who got a Hot Wheels Elite LaFerrari from a reputable store/distributor has no issues with their model. Or if there are any, they are very minor stuff that is within the acceptable margin. Every "horror" laFerrari came from Asian e-bay sellers. Those were back door models that were not supposed to hit the market. Up until few years back the same ones used to be "mint without box" on e-bay. And now they are "mint in box", but the same shit.
I had five of these models and not one of them had any issues.
I agree with you Micheal.

Reputable store or not, both LaFerraris had quality issues. The yellow came from NewAce and the red from CK Modelcars.

Glad I had some GT Spirits to cheer me up...

Me too, I wanted to add it, but decided against it. I'm hoping someone else will make it some day.

Got my hands on one of my holy grails:

The 1:43 Spark Mercedes CLR #5, Le-Mans 1999.
This is car that made the famous flip during the race. (not the only one that flipped that weekend, but def the most known one)

Also got 1 Aston Martin DBR9 (Le-Mans 2007) and a Lotus Elise GT1 (FIA 1997)

The AA 1:18 Mercedes CLK-GTR i have for 2 weeks now. Great model with great engine details!Image

Rounding out January diecast purchases, I scooped up this pair. When it comes to buying diecasts my motto is if you can't pick one get both.
