althought i prefer white, i think the black one is going for more $$$ on the open market because it is the first release for the bodystyle (someone correct me if i am wrong).

Matte black itself is nice but I wanted to change it up. Plus the second release of Murcielago's SV they removed the coloured calipers and painted them black so that was boring to me.

Yellow was the only second release that still had coloured calipers so I had to go with that.

Plus the yellow looks beautiful!

First thing V_tec, your links don't work, all the they show are the regular price from amazon. It seems like you are really new at collecting diecast. You can always find cheaper models on ebay or online instead of buying locally. But the thing with buying online is that you can never see the actual model that you are buying. Every time I am buying a new model from a store. I would ask them to atleast open 3 of them before choosing one because every model is different and the finish can be quite far off or even damaged.

If you like to take the chance, then you can always buy cheaper ones or fly back to Asia and buy a whole bunch back.

I think the links do work.. so maybe its just you, and if you already know you want a model then ordering online from a site like amazon should not be an issue. Seeing a model '3' times in person is if youre on the fence about a model.

i'm not sure where you are going with these examples. i'm just going to use this one as an example:

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00CSET...=SS115&simLd=1

Price: CDN$ 185.18
+ CDN$ 12.19 shipping

which means $197.37 before duties and taxes.

wilkinsons is $184.85 before taxes:

Search results for 'auto art ae86' - eAutomobilia

i don't see the savings. maybe you'll get lucky and customs will let it slide but otherwise
