This arrived yesterday.

It goes well with my other Daytonas & replaces a pretty horrid HW version.
I have that in my TV/Movie section with the Miami Vice Testarossa. Can't beat it for the price.

Almost Real Brabus Rocket 900. Destination Moon.

You can't see it from this angle, but unfortunately, the right rear taillight lens came off, so it will need fixing before blast-off. It doesn't look like a hard fix, but this is the fourth Almost Real model (out of seven) to arrive at my doorstep with something loose or broken. All four were brand new. It is rather irritating.

I'm not at all surprised about parts falling off these cars so easily, even with the higher priced brands. I've noticed that the quality of the glue used nowadays is extremely poor. I can't believe how many cars I've received that needed parts glued back on right out of the box. I've gotten to the point that I hold my breath every time I unpack a model that I receive, expecting it to be poorly constructed in some way regardless of whether it is an expensive or inexpensive brand! :x

Missed out on the initial release and then they were all gone and too expensive. Seems local classifieds diecast sales are slow lately. I found the same, barely any buyers for some rare models I post. Got this one for $260 CAD, which is very reasonable In my opinion. Had the yellow one but it's just not as nice

I went to Motorsport track day last fall... To be honest I was scared in the passenger seat. The car is extremely capable at high speeds. :o

Own these both, each unique and each well done. My Exoto is the Laguna Blue (sp?)

Yes, I decided long ago that I wanted that model in yellow or blue.

Anyway, my latest addition, the AUTOart Veyron Sang Noir, takes its rightful place next to my other Bugatti:
