But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

Originally Posted by Pacman808 Hi Everyone,
It's been a while since I posted up a review. Well today I would like to share with you my thoughts on the new 1/18 2016 Ford Focus RS by Ottomobile.
For those who are not familiar about Ottomobile, they are the sister company of GT Spirit. Otto makes models that most manufacturer's don't produce. ie: BMW Alpina B7 biTurbo 
And also models of European cars that are not available in the North American market. ie: VW Passat r36 
When the New Ford Focus was revealed way back in Cologne Germany, where the cars was designed; many of us living in NA wished that Ford will bring the RS to North America. And that wish came true. Although the new Focus RS was initially released in Europe first, many Ford dealers started to take orders for the new RS in NA. There is a waiting list, for the RS. And if you had $50k to burn in your pocket and love hot hatches, the new RS is definitely one of the cars on your list. But... not all of us have $50K to burn. So, when Otto announced that they will be making a 1/18 RS this past summer, I was very excited. After looking at the pre production pics, I knew this is a must have model in my collection. Otto has already made the MK l Focus, and this model will complement it well.
Well the wait is finally over. When the FedEx driver dropped of the model at my office, I quickly opened the package. My first reaction was... WOW! It looks sweet! The nitrous blue paint, head lights, disk brakes with Brembo calipers, black wheels are perfectly captured. As with all other resins models, panel lines look great. 
After studying Pics of the real car and comparing to the model, Otto did a very fine job of capturing the look and shape of the car. 
Real Focus RS 
Ottomobile Focus RS
There was a QC deficiency, the rear license plate of my model is placed crooked. And upon further inspection, the rear windshield wiper is curved. I wonder is this a mistake on Otto's part? 
The interior is nicely captured, and the seats have the RS badging decal. I am very happy that Otto did not tint the back passenger windows. Everything is visible. I wish Otto had placed seat belts. Minor detail.  
The only thing that bothered me about this model, is that the B-pillars for this car are painted on the thin plastic clear piece. Why??? They added B-pillars for their Nismo 400r and r33 LM models...why couldn't they incorporate this detail to the model? This is also the same issue for other their higher brand GT Spirit models. 
Other than a few minor issues, I think Otto, has produced another nice quality model. If you lobe hot hatches like I do but don't have $50k to burn, this model should be in your collection. Otto only made 2000 pieces of the RS in Nitrious Blue, and it is completely sold out.  
Comments are welcomed.
Happy collecting
William | Thanks for such an awesome review of the RS, can't wait to pick mine up!

Are there any brands that make a diecast of a 99-04 or 05-10 Jeep Grand Cherokee? Nothing fancy, it'll be a toy for a young child.

the above is just an example search to show you what's out there, but don't buy from this place because i always hear/read complaints about their poor business practices.

^ Sometimes you hit a lucky break like your Alfa   (seriously congrats on find the last piece of the set. That means I can open it now  ).
Walmart seems to take it really slow in loading up their pegs. The new Walmart in Richmond? Yeah they sorta loaded up some pegs last Sunday (nothing spectacular) and then I watched some lady buy 10+ packs of the 5 set. I guess she was buying it for the family back at home or for children's gift for Christmas.

I've found two Alfa's in the past couple days haha.
I live in abbotsford. Dollaramas out here are unreal for hotwheels. I find that Walmart is always picked clean and only the generic crap is left. Did find a couple treasure hunts at one the other day though

someone cleaned out the walmart here in central city surrey. there isn't much left of value except for these... 
are hw motorcycles a new thing, or has it been a thing for awhile now? 
also wondering about the integra... is this the only version? i've seen a half-card plain white one but someone trashed both the car and packaging so it wasn't worth getting.

^ Nice finds Thumper! I think HW has been making motorcycles for a while but the nicest ones are the Ducati and the Honda Monkey Z50. As for the Integra, yes this is the newest one they produced thus far. I prefer the solid colours than the ones with prints.
Fouund this guy sitting in the front of the pegs.   Now I just have to find the Mystery Machine...

i blame this on you
i should have been paying more attention to the crx... only the rear wheels are red. both front wheels are black. that's not how it's supposed to be, is it?
and the m4 packaging shows a racing stripe, but the car is just plain white... misprint?
