Hey, don't I know you from the hot wheels thread? I'm certain you've seen the pic of my Loti before.

So since a week or so a new seller (Dutch guy) put up some model cars on evil bay, his score is 0 (no sales yet). Had a CMC Fiat Ferrari transporter and the xxxx maserati transporter, 2 firetrucks and 20-30 norev cars on there. Now all the cars have disappeared except for the 4 trucks. When I looked at the "ferrari' again from my watch list it had been removed and replaced by same transporter but he now has 6 of them for sale.
He's selling at eur 470 and all the other sellers are asking for the same object 590 to well over 600 euro.
At a fair recently in NL I was quoted 570.
Currently this object has 13 followers. Am I (going to be) stupid to be the first to bite?
Your advice / thoughts.

Nice! Kinsmart's really been the only decent brand that I can find locally without having to purchase online. Glad they didn't get lazy as they did with the Aventador model which has the same exact wheels as the Murcielago LP640. 👎
Also, has anyone had a look at the Maisto catalog? They updated it with the upcoming 2015 Mustang! I've kind of grown to like the new Mustang, so I may look for one. And the new Lamborghini Huarcan!

Hey, don't I know you from the hot wheels thread? I'm certain you've seen the pic of my Loti before.
Which one? And now you will probably slam them in the Customising thread. I love to see them in the Diorama discussion, though, all covered in gravel, some grass, grease, oil . . . . would be so realistic. How about it?
I'm looking for some Loti (are we really murdering the Queen now?
) in 1:43 for a Diorama, myself, but more in the $30.00 - $50:00 range. Any ideas?Have to say the recent spate of 1:43s posted here are stunning. You guys are lucky to have what you want.
I shot some pics of two rather rare models yesterday - models actually used in sales presentations - 1:18 Toyota Forklifts. Will upload some pics soon.

Well I want to post my other Micro Machines collection, with fighters this time!
Uploaded via facebook, so the quality is not super excellent...
Russian figher jets, a MiG-15, two MiG-29 and a couple of Tu-22, those are pretty rare in this colour variation, I'm only collecting 'official' liveries, I don't like fictional ones (later, the company decided to produce freedom force units with a red ribbon with a star insignia and terror troops with a skull logo).
A-10, one of my favourite pieces!
B1 Bomber and a F-15, the 'Eagle' looks stunning on this little airbase, but the runway is too short for take off
The big aircraft carrier with AV-8, F-14 and a coupe of F-18, I know F-16 should not be there, I just wanted to make it a bit more crowded!
I got this from a German seller, pretty cheap since some pieces were missing, luckly I had enough lego pieces to make at least a decent control tower.
Can you spot the 'real' intruder on this ship?
A quick example of bad proportions, MM soldiers (or figures) are good for 1:64 or 1:87 scale, more on the 1:64 side, those planes are about 1:250, while MM cars are around 1:120 scale.
A quick comparison between scales, this is a quite bad photo but it gives you an idea.
1:18 Hot Wheels
1:24 Bburago
1:43 Brumm
1:64 Minichamps
1:72 Cararama (Hongwell)
1:100 Kyosho (unopened, need the plastic blister because it will be a gift)
1:120 (approx) Micro Machines
Hope you guys enjoy those Micros, I also have a MiG-21 and a F-14 squadron (unopened), and other blisterpacks with racing cars, If some of you is curious I can make some photos.

Fantastic
Thanks
It wasn't cheap, but since how I love Gran Turismo and Tomica, I couldn't resist
. The seller even gave me a 2014 Tomica car catalogue/magazine as wellThere is still one up for sale here, but it isn't cheap either-it would have ended up for me being another $30AUD more expensive.
Awwww, so cute!

Awesome stuff.👍 I got myself the GT2 Tomica set off of e-Bay a while back and no it wasn't cheap either.
Totally worth every cent though. Actually it might have been from the same seller as yours.

Aargh decisions, decisions. The 1:8 is 55.6 cm and the 1:100 is 4.45 cm in length and still looks like a 'proper' car. These although cute look too toy-ish.... so I'm not sure if I will go and find one.
Some e-bayers sell items for 2 dollars but charge a gazillion for postage,
How long is one of these and what brand - is it Micro Models. There seem to be many brands that fall in to this scale according to Wikipedia.
evilbay 40063337807 and 390766802882 are prime examples of rip offs.

All my micro models are original Micro Machines, I'm pretty much an expert on this field,
http://m2museum.com/Cars/Ferrari/Ferrari F40.htm
here you can see all the F40 models made by the company, I own the red deluxe one and the 'standard' red one with the emblem on the hood (from a special unopened package sold only here in Italy, 2 collections of Ferrari only, I will post the package(s) soon). The standard looks better, the material is more solid overall.
There are even micro minis but I think you can pass those one
A price for a brand new package goes from 10 to 50 USD (military are much more requested and expensive, very very detailed for that scale), depends on the seller and on how much the pack is rare, usually if the price is around 15 dollars is a good deal.
You should find that Ferrari for around 3/5 USD, the 'stock' price for an 'opened' Micro.
I can link two eBay profiles, reliable Micro Machines sellers if you need to buy the car.
I have 3 race tracks and some playsets as well, when I was a child I loved them so much because they were extremely versatile, my old collection traveled from my home to my grandparents house so many times!
I've even built some cardboard tracks back then, 7/8 years ago.
