I've bought 3 Tarmac Works models in my life. Just 3. And the 3 of them came with problems.

Well, the 1st 2 cars were not that of a big deal tbh. But the 3rd one...

This is the last one I ever buy.
That sucks 😥
So far my experience has been generally good with Tarmac, I have several and non were missing parts or had any significant imperfections.

I remember the very first models I bought from Tarmac and they weren't very good. Thankfully, the quality of the models have improved dramatically in the last 8 years and NOT ONCE have I encountered any problems.
 
Found these at Sandown

I finally found the Teku Deora II and I think it's great, but the Maserati MC12 is incredible. Model of the year by far for me. The details are crazy, the price is reasonable compared to TLV and the mirrors aren't made of rubber. Even the interior has been done properly with some carbon on the dash and blue leather seats just like the real thing. It's right up there with my TLV Ferrari F40 in terms of favourite models. The Beemer and the Countach are also neat.

368Yen???? That's a lot different from what I remember seeing on these boxes.
It's a 2024 release from what I can find. I didn't know they were still in the game!

Thought they were done after they had switche to the window-box lottery system.

If you wanted these sort of models in the past, you'd have to buy them in 1:43 scale. Not anymore.

More detailed pics of that i20N please!

Excuse my ignorance, but I have no idea what this means. I just found a seller on ebay and bought it 😅

Currently available MiniGT. It’s Neuville’s 2023 Monte Carlo winner.

I’ve purchased a bunch of new cars in the last few months that I haven’t been had a chance to post yet.

They are done. The model is an old one as far as I'm aware.

I'll try.

Surprised I didn't see anything about the 911 GT1, Koenigsegg, or Vanquish mentioned in the Lamley livestream at the convention. Looking forward to seeing those and the rest of the new stuff like the Land Cruiser (Prado) J250.


It's been a while since I've gone out to stores and here's a couple from the past few weeks/month or more. Seen remnants of the 2024 N case with zero 911 Dakars, but at least found the Huracan Sterrato. Same goes for the more recent case of Matchbox, not a single GR Supra or Morgan Plus Four after searching several stores in one day.... Did find the newer 1:43 scale cars (even though this is the wrong thread, I grouped them in the same photo)

My brother was working in Florida and found a local diecast store that was....mostly asking too much for recent release stuff. But he did find some older tuner Muscle Machines and the Jada DUB Lexus.
