Good! Based on the age, its exceptional. And diecast is always better than sealed resin

Not to me, not always. I would rather have a GTS than a Norev, Minichamps, Solido, Bburago, etc. If there is a high quality model available in diecast/plastic/whatever with opening parts, I would pay more to have that over a good resin.
Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
Agreed to a certain extent. In this example the diecast exceeds that of the resin. Also for a Volkswagen fan like myself, and one with personal connection to the VR6 motor, I like the fact that I can open the hood and see that classic block.damnyouebay wrote:Not to me, not always.

Oh I am with you there. Sealing off high performance motors should be punishable. Autoart Nismo Juke, cough, cough. The ugliest Nissan ever made, with a awesome engine that you cant see, lol. Its like a porno where you can only watch the "story" at the beginning.

Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
My local guy made me another deal I could not resist for 20 cars. Half are flips. but some like the red Elite 288 GTO are a long time holy grail for me.
