how are their prices these days?

Finally set up the collection after it spent years in storage but still need one more bookcase to add the VWs (not pictured). My two young kids constantly want to "play" with the cars, but that usually means demolition derby style driving  image.jpg

i keep looking at that mclaren f1 and wonder if autoart took anything from the UT version from years past when autoart bought out UT and closed them down... it was really detailed for it's time and roughly 1/3 the price of what the autoart version costs today.

Don't think I'll be buying anymore models for a while lol. Quote:
