I saw the same Vantage too, but shipping costs to Europe kept me away. Congrats!

Lame-o! :p


I'll show you some QC flaws I've noticed later. First of the 3 GT models I own where the flaws where there quite a number of imperfections.

No model is ever 100% perfect.

True but GTS is more of a gamble than other brands. Even on the good ones it is only a matter of time before the flimsy windows start to lift up a little there or there and next thing you know you need to glue it back. Since I don't own many resin models I am not quite sure if other brands are any better... But nothing compares with high end diecast.

I tend to disagree, I own many and maybe 10% had an issues, with most being minor issue at best.

You're probably right because your sample size is much larger than mine (I own only 7 GTS). But keep a close eye on these flimsy windows edges over time.

Picked up my Cayman GT4 yesterday and really happy with it!

Just picked up a few from a local seller today (some of which I traded from my others for sale, so wallet is okay :-)):

- Minichamps Porsche 918 Spyder DE
- GT Spirit Audi RS5 Cabriolet in black
- GT Spirit Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 in dark blue
- AUTOart Lamborghini Huracan in Orange

And also got a Minichamps Porsche 991 Turbo DE, and AUTOart Porsche 996 Turbo in silver earlier in the week from Local sellers.

I have this one on the way - for the 2nd time - The first one was a great deal but unfortunately got lost by Post Canada in the mail (yes it can happen). I was reimbursed by the seller and found another one (still a good deal but a bit more) and it should arrive next week. :fingercrossed:
