68style: do you think they will make a series out of this model? eg. an initial-d car like they did with the ae86?

I'd love to see that... but I'd have to guess no since it would paint them into a corner of having to do ones of every Initial-D car like the Lancer, Skyline and a few AA doesn't have moulds for like the 2nd gen RX7 or MR2...
On that note, I've never been able to figure out why there's no 1:18 of a MR2 NA/Turbo ever been made... it's almost bizarre.

Since you guys are the experts - what do you recommend for high-quality motorbike diecasts?
I have a decent sized collection of AutoArt Japanese cars ... but don't know a thing about bike diecasts.

IXO also makes a lot in a really small scale (slips my mind right now) and those are very nice, I have a couple of those...
The rest are all the Maisto-type that were filling up Superstore a couple years back... passable... cheap price... but certainly not nice or high-quality.

I mean... Jada didn't stay in the Initial-D business very long with its 1:64/1:43 lineup... they're only worth a lot now because of how short the production run ended up being.

If you guys are interested, this guy posts up awesome photos of pretty much every upcoming AutoArt model (and some other brands too if you're interested)... some of the exotics coming this year are crazy... 177, EB110, etc. etc. etc.... it's going to be a tough year on the ol' bank account!
