Iirc Chaparral threatened to sue Exoto due to licensing issues. I know licensing is why Exoto calls their Ferrari models "Tipo".

That's no store, it's a freakin' gold mine! AUTOarts, Kyoshos, Hi-Stories... If you love JDM scale model brands, that store has you covered 120%, unbelievable stuff.
The prices, however, may be way over the top considering all the quality brands...

I'm more worried about the car breaking off the base when I buy cars online especially internationally. Though it wasn't Autoart, I had a Norev 1/18 car break off from the base during shipping from Germany. The car was completely destroyed. But I think Norev used 2 screws to secure it, Autoart would have 4. Even still, you never know how poorly the packages are being handled, no matter how many "fragile" stickers the sender slaps on.

There are two types of boxes that AA models can come in. One is the one for their Signature models, packed in a negative 2- part styrofoam casing. The other ones are for their more basic models as Holdenhsvgtsr mentioned.
And I'm thinking of getting me one of these:

There are two stores selling those in that mall. Thank goodness they're nearby.
However, I just find shopping for diecasts in either HK or Japan a little more exciting. Can't wait for April to see the cherry blossoms and of course...
...Akihabara and Yodobashi stores.

My Autoart 911 Turbo 3.0 with Martini stripes arrived today. I love it, but I plan to buy a second 930 without the stripes sometime in the future. Please forgive the poor pictures, my room isn't the most well lit area ever, but one of these days I'll get good pics of all my 911s.

It's borderline obsession.
What started out as 1/43 scale, strictly RS models...
...upgraded to 1/18 before I lost control and started collecting any 911 I wanted.

Despite being semi-retired from collecting, I'm receiving one for Christmas. The Corgi Vanguard Vauxhall Carlton GSI 3000, a car I've always liked. It'll go nicely with the Cavaliers I already have.
One day I might get some pictures of all my Opel/Vauxhalls together. It must be 30 plus.

Just ship me one of every make and model. That reminds me of Pastiners in Detroit. I got these from when I visited them.

I do have to say, Corgi makes some lovely 1:43 Vauxhall/Opel models; I've been eyeing their Carlton release for quite sometime now, especially after buying a Peugeot 309 GTI from the Vanguards line as well. Even their old Nova/Corsa Swing is surprisingly good-looking, and I wouldn't mind having that for myself either...

May I ask, online purchase or local retailer?
