Hmmmmm I preordered the blue 911 form AutoArt having no idea which blue it was going to be since they only ever showed silver and red in sample pics... I'm not so sure how I feel about my choice... Especially if the interior is tan like it seems to be in the picture??

i posted before a local collector who is liquidating everything he has. he has (or had) a lot of F1's from all model manufacturers. if you are interested pm me and i will ask if he has anything left because everything has been going on ebay:

edit: this is what's left

i don't think autoart wants to undercut their retailers, so the prices aren't that great...

having said that, there is a toy fair going on in essen germany right now and the prices are :censored:

I'm looking for anything DC2 ITR or EK9 CTR related. Looked on Auto Art but nothing came up. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to die cast models in terms of who sells them.

Any other suggestions of where I can look? If anyone is travelling to HK or where ever I can certainly pay you for you time to grab something for me.

Any help is greatly appreciated

When I first got back to HK from my flight from Taiwan. I went over to Olympian City right after I landed to try and get myself a 1/18 VLT Aston Martin from a local Vancouver driver.





But I missed out on getting was because they only had 20 availible for sale and they let people in line buy 3 at a time. So knowing it's Hong Kong. The first 7 people inline after hearing that ofcourse bought all of them. Good thing when I went to watch the Macau GP, they had more stock so I got myself one.


Couple days after landing in HK, I went over to CS Models and Toyzone. Went to check out the 1/18 OneModel DC2 and EG6 and FD2 they had on display.













And these is a new custom DC5r that they had displayed







Here is Tarmac Works EG6 at Daboxtoys





Sadly they didn't had the 1/18 EF civic on display. I am still waiting for mine after paying for one an year ago -__-




This time back I was only able to buy the 1/18 VLT Aston Martin and a bunch of old 1/43 gt500 NSX from toyzone. Finding myself collecting more 1/43 now since 1/18 prices are getting rediculous.
