Die-cast cars, which one to get?

[Aquila DK]

So I've been thinking, and I've decided I'm gonna get a new Die-cast car, scale 1:18, and I've narrowed it down to four, that I'd like to have, but not sure, and I haven't made my mind up yet..

 

Hot Wheels Elite Range: Maserati MC12

http://www.idcow.com/hw2145.html

 

AutoArt: Porsche Carrera GT Silver.

http://www.idcow.com/aa2160.html

 

Hot Wheels Elite Range: Ferrari 430 Scuderia

http://www.idcow.com/hw2146.html

 

Hot Wheels Elite Range: Ferrari Enzo Ferrari

http://www.idcow.com/hw2108.html

 

By the way, not the site I'm gonna buy my car, it just has the best pictures..

 

Or maybe even another car? If you have another suggestion, which I am open for, but please, I don't want the crazily overpriced ones, but neither the insanely cheap ones, as they are usually crap.. Preferably, Hot Wheels Elite, AutoArt or Kyosho.. Or maybe another maker, that you KNOW is good quality.

Scuderia FTW!, In yellow with Silver stripes looks UBER awesome

[Aquila DK]

It's gonna be red with silver stripes Mike :D

[CarMadMike]

NO *slaps* Yellow! :D

 

Yeh whatever colour or car you want.

 

I quite like the:

 

Gallardo Superleggera : http://www.idcow.com/mst2186.html

Eleanor :D : http://www.idcow.com/sby2005.html

 

but my favourite:

 

250 GTO : http://www.idcow.com/hw2107.html

[Aquila DK]

@the Gallardo SL: That model is supposedly really bad.. The Maisto one, so I'm giving that a miss.. And the 250 GTO, try looking at the this Version: http://www.grandprixlegends.com/DieCastSite/D_RoadCars_I_Ferrari_Mattel%20Elite(DieCast)/HW8727%28GPL%5FBaseCatalog%29/DieCast.htm

[Andreas¹]

If I was to get one of those, I'd want the MC12. However, I hate to say it, the F430 looks like better quality etc to me :D

[Eudemon]

Kyosho or AutoArt are the best !

[Aquila DK]

I know Kyosho are extremely good, seeing as I just got a Kyosho F40 Light Weight which i adore, and I can see that AutoArt are really good aswell, but Hot Wheels have the advantage of a wider variety of cars..

[khevolution]

kyosho are awsome i have a £400 buggy

 

but our of that choice i would avoid hot wheels, as they have no where near the detail of Auto art i only have a couple of the autoart ones and they have everything spot on even to the pipes running to and from the radiator

[Guest RB26DETT]

lol^

 

i like the eleanor one. but from the poll, hmmm... Scuderia!

[HavockJoker]

I would get the Carrera GT. But the 430 looks stunning.

[CarMadMike]

They're all crap, get one of these models!

 

 

........But if you can't, get the Scuderia.

 

Do you have one? :oook:

[Aquila DK]

They're all crap, get one of these models!

 

 

........But if you can't, get the Scuderia.

 

Why am I not surprised? :D

[Loz]

Kyosho or AutoArt are the best !

 

QFT.

 

Minichamps are very good too. And CMC if you have the money.

[Aquila DK]

Aren't CMC wickedly expensive?

[Mb]

1/18 AutoArt Superleggera. Coming out this Summer :)

[Loz]

Aren't CMC wickedly expensive?

 

Yea. I only have one CMC, which was £150. There are more expensive 1:18's. I think Mattel has Ferrari's for £150+, i belive its their Super Elite range.

 

Exoto models are also very expensive.

[ShadowGT]

hehe escalade

[The Queen]

Kyosho or AutoArt are the best !

 

Amen to that. I know because I am a big collector of these ;)

[CarMadMike]

Amen to that. I know because I am a big collector of these ;)

 

And we know because you have showed us teh mahoosive collection!

 

:oook:

I quite like the BMW Z8 1:18's

[Andreas¹]

I likez Bburago http://www.bburago.com/

Don't tjhink you can buy from there though xD

[Eudemon]

I've been told the Kyosho Shelby Cobra 427 I have is quite rare, anyone know if that's so? It's Shelby blue with no stripe and is one smart model I gotta say !

[Nodz86]

Well I like the Autoart range, bburago and maisto used to be a bit toy like not sure if that is still the case as that was 4yrs ago.

 

Diablo, if its 1:43rd they are on ebay for a tenner but they have the stripes.

 

Edit:

If its 1:18th found a red one with no stripes at $84
