I actually ended up purchasing a sealed Holden Racing Team V8 Supercar from 2013. Only paid $100 bucks for it, but it's not that bad...Nah, the sealed Super GTs are cheap because AA overly produced these models, when the whole sealed models concept was NOT popular back then(funny, we are so used to it now). The road car is based on a totally different mold, I will post my G'Zox Mugen NSX here so you be the judge.

I knew I shoulda waited. CK Modelcars has a blue 2.8 RSR and I think I like it better than the orange one I have. Ugh. I'm too poor to have both though. I spent all my money on a Spark 991 GT3 RS dealer edition.

At this time, the only models available in the colors I wanted are the Spark dealer editions for the 991 RS. GT Spirit will be making the same model (at a fraction of the price) that I will exchange for the one I got if the color is what I want.
Yeah, kinda silly to base a purchase on just the color, but the price was good on the dealer version of the model, so I grabbed it.

Oh, I agree with you. However, in my case, the dealer edition is significantly more expensive than the non-dealer version just because of color. The Ultraviolet and Lava Orange colors are in the thousands now (with a $2000 Lava orange one on ebay now), the white and birch green ones (dealer editions) are about $500-600, whereas the non-dealer silver one is about $300ish at least according to ebay. If GT Spirit made one, it would be even less than that.Nonsense. The red 964 RWB is still <<< green 964 RWB.
I got a birch green one (#217/911) for a lot less than it should have been. Then again I bought it on ebay about 3 weeks ago and it's not arrived yet. Perhaps it was a scam!

The hobby edition in silver that I preordered costed me about $200, but I haven't heard anything from the store yet, meanwhile people who bought from other retailers have received theirs already.
If things don't go well I may end up with the GTS version too.

Made by Apex, right? I wanted the Volvo S60, but couldn't stand the cheap looking antennas on the roof.

I probably will end up with the GT Spirit 991 GT3 RS too, depending on what colors they release. If I do, I will be sure to post comparison pics of the two.

Thanks for the info. It does look like one of those Apex models though.

I wonder if the Jetta will have brakes...

That does look pretty hot in dark green. I just wish these were easier to pre-order, since often Amiami doesn't have pics of many IG pre-orders...
They also sell out too fast <___>

I want a decent F40 in 1:43 for around $50 CAD. Is the FERRARI F40 1987 Rouge by IXO FER007 any good?
Here's what it looks like http://www.ebay.ca/itm/FERRARI-F40-...293566?hash=item23603a5f3e:g:cMoAAOSwcu5UQs6p
Any other suggestions?

Amiami had pics of this green a while ago actually, but yes I know what you're getting at. I'm surprised many people blindly preorder some of these.

Seems pretty decent. The couple Ixo models I have are comparable with your typical Minichamps in detail. The only other F40 that I know of for a somewhat affordable price is the Kyosho, which runs around $70 USD or so.
I really do want one of these IG S30's though, but between the rarity and price, I dunno. I already have a Kyosho one, and I have the AA Devil Z pre-ordered. Might get one of the IG ones some day though to make a nice trio.
*EDIT*
Seems Amiami still has order slots for the dark green Z. If it is still around in 2 weeks I will get one, otherwise I might try to get another color that they have in stock.
Also the other day I was looking at my GTS Nismo R35 and felt I could fix the rear wing, which has a negative angle of attack (seems to have affected most all of them from what I have seen). So I popped the wing off (not much glue held it on), then filed away a bit of the support, along with using my Dremel to lengthen the slots in the bottom of the airfoil section itself. Here is the result:

Nothing wrong in calling the R35 a Gundam. Nissan's Chief Designer Nakamura did say the R35 design was inspired by Gundam:

I want to get it to but a few days ago my brother ordered an autoart 1:43 nismo r34 z-tune as a gift
I'm going to have to hold back for a month or 2.
Thanks
