Ill be honest with you, the price I paid 3 months ago in 2 different stores for them was exactly the same if not a tiny bit more in 1 stores case than the lowest price + shipping on eBay and amiami also has them cheaper depending if you want the stick ones or Type-R ones.

That's dope! You gotta share some pics of your collection




I think I'm going after this one. They finally have an E90 M3! Anyone have any experience with GT Spirit? I hope they make high quality models. For $200 my expectations are higher than a $30 Maisto.

the E90 M3 model is nice... but the rear tail light seems a bit off.

I have a Norev M1 (like the one pictured), quite happy with it for the price, nice and solid and pretty well detailed.
But I also have a 930 Turbo from them and the quality isn't quite there compared to the M1 for close to the same price.
Also for the 930, the scale seems to be a little off when compared to the AutoArt 930 I have

Spoiler!
