No, not women... Perhaps almost as good if you collect die cast...

Enjoyed your post, especially all the photos. If you ever travel to Huntington drop me a line.

Has anyone found a red 1:43 NOREV Coupe? I think that is the only red one I am missing.

Thanks for the pics. James

 

I'm looking for an SSB SRT-6 model....

 

There's also a cheap doll car made in the form of a pink Roadster... Haven't found that one yet.

 

nice collection do you have the BBurago 1:18? always the nicest one i thought...

 

I do not have the Bburago.

I could never tell from the photos if it was a different casting/build than the Maisto.

I know that Solido for example is pretty much a badge name for models made by other companies.

I didn't know if Bburago had fallen to the same fate or not.

Is the Bburago different from the Maisto? If so...

Here I go again...

i know i had another 1:18 (might have been a Maisto?)... the BBurago is much nicer than that one.

 

ppro,

I have both the Maisto and Bburago. They are the same exact castings but do have a few suttle differences. The Maisto was produced for US markets and the Bburago was produced for European markets I am told. I know some Bburagos made it here.

The two red coupes I have are slightly different color red. The Bburago looks more red than the real one. The Maisto has a heavy metallic in the paint - too much. The Bburago has silver colored wheels where as the Maisto has chrome wheels.

The Bburago is made in Italy, the Maisto is made in Thailand.

I just recently purchased the Bburago from Europe so I have no pics to show the comparisons.

Here is the 1:18 Maisto I have:





Then my co-worker added the difussers and I printed a tag for it.



I also own the Motormax Brand 1:18, not worth photographing...

Got a link to the BBurago?!
That's the nicest I've seen!

 

Thanks James. It looked like from the pictures I have seen of the Bburago that the main difference was the finish of the wheels and body paint. Thanks for confirming that.

I think the Motor Max is interesting though would benefit from a lot of touch up work to get the fit and finish right. Worth photographing for records-sake.

It looks from your images you dabble in photography and die cast...

 

You guys are nuts!!!

 

maybe it was a Motor Max...

 

 

Oops, wrong kinda model....

 

Hey............where the hell are you guys getting these from??? I bought 2 from costco, but haven't see the ones you guys have....?

 

Antonio,

I just ordered a red Maisto from here. http://www.scale18.com/cgi-bin/page/...e_red_metallic_

They have some good deals right now.

 

Collecting die cast is one of my side-interests so I have developed some habits that help find the models. I go to lots of regular stores - like Wal*Mart (DUB CITY), Target and Sams (Maisto), Toys R Us (small-scale Motor Max sold under TRU House Brand), Amazon.com (I have links to several of these on my web site), Family Dollar (New Ray), and .... eBay.

With eBay, I have had to be very patient because many of the sellers have these models overpriced or have them priced right with very overpriced shipping. None of these models with the exception of the Sharper Image CD-Clock-Radio should sell for more than $20 shipped.

But they are asking between $30 and $50 to your door. I ignore those sellers. Every once in a while somebody puts something up that's priced right and then I will bid (if the other bidders don't go crazy...)

I drive my family crazy because a big part of all my travels is to visit these stores and any others that might sell die cast vehicles, and try to find stuff I am looking for...

 

Anyone know where to get a good firepower model?

 

Where can I get a 1:18 or larger ROADSTER?? I have never seen the xfire rdstr diecast except for the really small model.
