Are there any good quality 1/18 scale models of the S2000? AP2, CR or anything nice? Haven't really been into diecasts since i was in elementary school so don't know what to look for or where to find them anymore.

Any help would be appreciated!

AutoArt made a stock AP1 way back when... there’s also a Maisto S2000 too... here’s a comparison between them: http://www.shewsbury.com/2011/04/com...-from.html?m=1

OneModel makes both stock and modified AP1... Pacman808 has them on his site here: https://cars79.com/collections/one-model?page=1

I could barely believe my own eyes but at Walmart in Richmond someone actually went through the trouble of buying all these rigs and removing the cars and replacing them with other ones of the same colour scheme before re-sealing the bubbles. Crazy. Could only see one minor rip on the bottom of the Porsche one. For the GReddy one in behind they even went through the trouble to replace the Skyline included with a GReddy Datsun lol!!!

I've been trying to find those transport trucks and cars since forever locally. I've always noticed this weird Asian guy(other than myself ofc) a few times at the Walmart in Richmond just looking at the cars and cards...One of the car culture series I bought there had a clean cut on the plastic cover too
