*Yah I picked up the vette at a better than reasonable price worth every penny.damnyouebay wrote:I like that Corvette too, I have one on watch on ebay in the same colour. They are cheap now, dunno why. Will be silly priced later for sure.
The Devil Z is rumored to be very limited btw, ala the Delorean.
And the tuned GT-R is a safe buy. I have two of the things in silver and will get the red and white too. They just look like Autoart tried, probably because they are based on the much older standard KPGC10, which secretly is a damn nice model car. The only "downgrade" I can see compared to the old one is plastic seatbelts, and the steering wheel is better on the old one. On the other hand the new one has a better looking engine, Watanabe wheels and great looking exhaust.
I think these old Skylines will be hilariously priced on ebay in a couple of years, considering they are the only high end diecast models available, and prices on the real Hakosukas are sky rocketing. Even non-GTR Skylines of this generation are expensive now. Japanese classics in general are gaining momentum.
*Excellent points...

Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
Good point about the japanese classics. I also really like the R32 but I think autoart is supposed to release a tuned version of that
Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
All the AUTOart Vettes have gone up as of late. I went on a Corvette hunt 3-4 years ago, acquired many for very cheap.I like that Corvette too, I have one on watch on ebay in the same colour. They are cheap now, dunno why. Will be silly priced later for sure.

Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
I like the colour. Would never buy the model though. Sealed, overpriced, overhyped.

Rare, scored crazy cheap.
Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
awesome...both have to be that green. Do you have the '68 to complete the set? Hoping Ford will make a Bullitt in the current gen at some point.HAROMASTER wrote:It's the highland green.

It's been too long since the last time I buy something.
This came in today. One down, five to go.

Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
that's a GREAT model. Owned one myself
Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase
Yes, it's my third favourite in my collection already (other two are next to it) But one of the bonnet screws is stuck in its place, gonna have a look to it tomorrow. Other than that, I'm loving it.

Nice add! Great model too. This one will become highly collectible, a great investment.Fulgura wrote:It's been too long since the last time I buy something.

Happened to mine too. On this model and the lancia S4. Unscrew it as much as you can of course, and then just yank it off.Fulgura wrote:Yes, it's my third favourite in my collection already (other two are next to it) But one of the bonnet screws is stuck in its place, gonna have a look to it tomorrow.

Thanks Kraftig!
@StratosWRC: That is probably the only solution, I'll give it a hard try tomorrow, today I'm just gonna watch its ugly functional design and beautiful color.
