AA今次玩完! 架458 LB好大機會冇得出啦! 原來個版權只值3000歐羅?
如果是真的，那真的是超便宜!
"TRUE story. AA had a Ferrari 458 on show. Well, it DID have a 458 on show. They had a visit in the morning from Maranello (ie, Ferrari). They marched into the stand. Placed a demand for 3000 Euro to be paid on demand or face a 5 MILLION Euro fine for producing the model should they not pay the 3000 Euro fine now. The model was of a Japanese modified 458. The tuner had granted a license but Ferrari had not. The model was gone by lunchtime! The mafia at work it seems. Again I heard the '25 year rule' mentioned. AutoArt ... do not come in here, you are not welcome"

I watched a video from the Lamelygroup BlogSpot (They feature mostly Hotwheels) and Kyosho makes Ferrari models through a loophole - basically no one is allowed to make Ferrari MODELS except for licenses (I think Hot Wheels has that license now) but Kyosho works around that because the Ferrari "models" they sell are not pre-built, they're sold as "model kits"

I'm surprised that the LB458 is stopped.

what may have happened is that one of the other model manufacturers who paid for a ferrari license complained so maranello unleashed the lawyers/sharks.

all that leaves now is gt spirit. not only do they also have an unlicensed LB458, but they also have an LB aventador that is legally in question as well (at least publically). but GT-S has already presold their LB458 and shipped them all out and is no longer in stock, so i don't know what ferrari has to say about that.

is it wrong that i want to go to the nuremburg toy fair more than the tokyo auto salon???

no...because these are toys that are somewhat palatable

does Mark only make sealed resins? I'm waiting for autoart to restock some of their models...so that red 2KGT looks enticing

This caught my eyes..from a brand called make up
