3. Autoart and Kyosho seem very similiar.. Is there a definitive answer which one is actually better or is this a personal preference?
4. I'm assuming ebay, amazon are the best places to buy? Can't imagine there being a large enough demand for a local store to sell at decent price
5. Finally, for you guys that are serious collectors, do you take them out of the box?
I'm looking for my XMAS present already.. A NSX-R. Actually, any NSX lol
Or a FD RX7

1: I would say Autoart would be the upper mid level in. The higher ups would be CMC and BBR
2: With 1/18 prices increasing so much I actually started with 1/43. I find it having a way bigger selection of cars I like more.
4: You can always check out Wilkinson's by Ontario and Broadway. I personally usually buy from Hong Kong and just bring them back myself.
5: I would only take them outta the box if I was to put them on display in a clear box.
Here are some pics to my collection.

Autoart will be coming out with the NSX-R in 2013
