Cheapest Fujimi 1:43 Aventador I see on Ebay is ~60.00+
I've recently started buying 1:43 scale models. Have a few... Will post pictures in the future ;p

look up on google...there's E-mail of AA reps on diecastxchange that are pretty helpful when it comes to missing/broken parts...worth a try if you're anal about these little things

Emailed them saying I am missing a lambo logo on the front of my SV and they replied the next day telling me to give them my address. They said they will send me a new replacement one. Now I haven't received it yet. Its been a week and a bit. Will update if it comes in, ever. LOL

Regular price. $93.95. I paid $73.65 (price includes tax).

yes another r34 GT-R (Z2), but my excuse is that this came as a package deal with the nsx and was was "damaged" (ie. scuff on rear bumper, missing fog light lens, one rear wheel was detached)... but for $45 extra i wasn't complaining. i've fixed the rear wheel for now but hope to find something aftermarket online, and i'm still polishing out the scuff:

Does anyone have any experience with Otto brand 1:18 models? I have my eyes on an E39 M5 that's from Otto and they're fairly pricy... not as much as an AutoArt Signature, but getting up there... any comments on detail level? Looks decent in the photos but maybe worth asking with all the German car aficionados on here!

the gti and corrado i posted a few pages back are otto mobile. the early ones do not have crisp masking lines and there are some paint runs, which i have been able to correct easily. the detail is good up top, but the underside is minimal at best.
not sure why but both models came with spare decals...

White regamasters would look pretty wicked as well.
