Well below both, BUT their choices on subject matter have been very good. Most are quite rare and quite collectible today. I own two models from them:

Vector W8

Cadillac Sixteen Concept

Geez man, that's how supply and demand works I guess.

I'll also add, that Rickos are very hit or miss. Some models are very nicely done (though like KRAFTIG said, well below AA or KY...more like Welly or early Norev), others can be complete crap.

I have 2 as well: black Porsche 356 B (excellent) & white Ford RS200 street (decent).

Yup. I'd place the Lamborghini SV in this category

Don't think Ricko does a Lambo SV? They only did the Anniversary Countach & 350GT.

I bought a limited edition Verde Artemis Murcielago (autoart) for about 140 and sold it a year later on ebay for 380!
