Lol I actually was just gifted an IXO 1/43 190e. They shouldn't be too bad. Better then miasto and hotwheels for sure but expect to be under gt spirit.

so can you say it's about the same as otto mobile perhaps? i was looking at their vw lineup at wilkinson's and i thought they were pretty good resins but i can now see why gt spirit is noticeably better (and more expensive)...
i have to say that gt spirit has a great painter. i've seen pics online of the guy doing each model in a spray booth and then wet sand/polish by hand afterwards (unlike some like maisto which just go through a basic assembly line process) i have only four of their cars and all of them are really well done. even autoart isn't this good.

someone here has one of these but i have forgotten who: 
kyosho s30 fairlady (devil z from wangan midnight).
it's been discontinued for a long time, and almost never shows up for sale, but there is one that has gone up for auction. what is the going price for one of these on the open market?
(also would like to know how has it been holding up after all these years... i mentioned before i stopped buying kyosho because of bad paint from age)

question for you all... does anyone here have any experience with this place? ezToys - Diecast Models and Collectibles - Thousands of Diecast Commercial Airliners & Military Aircraft Models ezToys - Diecast Models and Collectibles
based out of san diego CA. not really finding any negative reviews of the business in general... but the prices listed online look decent compared to ebay. i'm a little choked that what i thought was a great price for my black r35 gtr autoart is actually cheaper at this place
also there is a coupon (appears to be still valid): 10% off everything. - Eztoys.com Coupon :: CouponMeUp.com ::
if you have a US address, they also offer free shipping within the US for orders over $99 for a limited time.
so if it does look good... you're welcome?
(and if i just ruined someone's intervention... sorry  )

what i am not sure is whether eztoys is actually set up for drop shipping directly from the manufacturer/distributor and does not actually have inventory, which could be an issue if something arrives broken/defective.
however, they do have a physical business (like wilkinson's) instead of just an online storefront...
