Finally got my hands on an Autoart Pagani Huayra and also picked up a GT Spirit LB Performance BMW M3.

Not diecast, but I picked up a plush version of the Renault Twingo.

if you only have a budget for one of the following? which one would you choose? and would one have a higher chance to resale compare to others?

MR Matte White Laferrari #05 of 26 PCs
BBR Full Carbon Laferrari #11 of 49 PCs (Comes with a full CF case lol)
BBR Black with Red Accent Laferrari Aperta #02 of 99 PCs

any opinions/thoughts?

Stole the photos of my seller's wechat but he is hold all 3 for me at the moment...

do you get to display your non-BMWs at work?

matte white by MR would be more sought-after me thinks...although I can't comment on the quality

the aperta...just no

then you can argue matte white isn't a factory colour. Is the 1:1 CF from factory? or custom

For sure the full CF. The Aperta, imo, like twitchyzero mentioned above, just no...

Resale value wise, it'll be high, but not locally imo. You would have to sell it on ebay if u do decide to resell later.

resale is more of an after thought.... lol who knows... I thought about letting go of my black Zonda R.. but I couldn't let any of them go... fail fail fail

I always tell my wife that haha... lolol... "if I cheap out... they lose value... if you buy higher end, they retain value? lol"

This is the re-release kyosho F40 lightweight in 1:18, personally I love it, but I am on the hunt for a road car version as well, and don't feel like paying ebay prices...

Yeah that one is nice. I see a ton of those in my search. I'd like a road going one though. I'd be willing to do a 1:12 scale one if I could find a really good qualty/detailed one. On that note; are hotwheels models decent quality? On par with Autoart and Kyosho etc.?

hotwheels elite series is the one to go for if you want better quality. not autoart levels of build quality, but dosen't have kyosho paint issues.

which is why i said have/had up top. even though they are discontinued you can still find them new for sale if you shop around, but they won't be cheap. eg:

Some old pics of my Tamiya masterworks NSXs, btw they are for sale if anyone wants them. They are all brand new in box, just opened once or twice for photos. Don't have room for them anymore
