Online is definitely the way to go for buying diecasts these days. Much better selection than local and it's not that hard to find the one you want for a decent price. I have tons of cars ranging from 1/64 to 1/18. Some really expensive ones I leave in the package or if I really like the car, I buy another one to open. I used to buy everything back in the day but due to lack of space, I mainly focus on my Mitsubishi collection now:

KYOSHO 8083 1990 Honda NSX silver RHD , Kyosho 20th Anniversary - Scale18 1/18 Scale Diecast Model Cars, Since 1997 :ahwow: did u see my link before lol? I'd say to get the kyosho verson opposed to the AutoArt since its 1/3rd the price with arguably better details and working suspension!

HONDA Acura NSX 1990 BERLINA Black diecast 1:18 AUTOART | eBay

I'm most likely going to go with the kyosho nsx given the price but the black autoart nsx is so sexy..

donjalapeno 10-16-2012 07:49 PM

the black has so much more character than the silver :sweetjesus:

tofu1413 10-16-2012 08:06 PM

I just called wilkonson's and they have it for $91. Looks like you got the hookup
Oh well, silver will do until I can have enough funds for another NSX. Really want a Type R or a 02+ in Imola Orange

For those who are interested, Bellingham Costco always carries Maisto 1:18 scale die-cast models for $13 in the fall season (close to Christmas). I went last week and they were already in-stock.

The assortment this year consists of the 300C, different variations of the Wrangler, different variations of the Mustang, as well as the 2013 Viper and a few other generic cars I may have missed.

I'll probably pick up a Viper.

Costco Canada always have them too. Not sure about the price though...probably a little more around $16.99 or $17.99, I remember they are under $20.

sas 10-17-2012 04:16 PM

The Maisto GTR I picked up was $13.99 @ Costco

itsnick 10-17-2012 05:28 PM

I mainly have Maisto too. Can't afford them nicer stuff haha

Like Hot Wheels, Maisto quality has gone downhill.

There's a store in Metro but it's $$$$$

Picked up these a few weeks back at Costco:
Lamborghini LP-640 Superleggera
Lamborghini LP-560 Gallardo I think? Forgot to be honest.
Lamborghini Diablo
2009 Nissan GTR (White)
Alfa Romea 8C
Porsche Cayman

Anyone got a McLaren F1 for sale :D?

Been looking for that one for awhile. Wilkinson only had the FD :(

Picked it up at a garage sale?

Here's my small collection, all made by Hot Works. I'm pretty happy with the quality. I bought these about 7 years ago:

Top Secret & Nismo 350Z's

Nismo R34 Z-Tune & Junction Produce LS430
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...uneJPls430.jpg

And my personal favourite of the bunch, a matte black 911 Turbo with matching TechArt kit. I'm not sure what scale it is, but it's bigger than the others.

Love the matte Porsche. This is a great link for anyone in my shoes

Time to start saving for the autoart

Like many of you, I also used to have a bunch of 1:18s when I was a kid. Most of them are dismantled at this point haha.

I don't have a ton of 1:24 or 1:18 models, but I do have quite a few 1:64s from my childhood. Mostly Mattel.

They're a little dusty.

How did you guys get your Hot Works? I got a yellow techart GT2, but i've been trying to find others with no success... Seems like their website is not updated too :okay:

I had a few of those Hot Works. I had the LS and the Zero Sports STI. Picked those up from Hong Kong for pretty cheap iirc.

All these Hot Works Japanese models are sick. Wonder if there's a place to get them locally without spending a shit load.
