FYI, -heard the owners say that the landlord of the store, is gonna make quite a bit of coin from selling the building. $2 million.
If you don't mind sharing, how much that aventador costs? I was looking into 1:43 aventador on Ebay, and depending on the brand, their costs are so crazy o___o

Cheapest Fujimi 1:43 Aventador I see on Ebay is ~60.00+

I've recently started buying 1:43 scale models. Have a few... Will post pictures in the future ;p

I mean I don't really expect them to do anything, but even just a recognition of the error/apology would be nice, it's a bit disappointing considering they are peddling what amounts to being a luxury item for most people and customer service expectations are usually pretty high in that realm.
yeah dont bother with the general AA email
look up on google...there's E-mail of AA reps on diecastxchange that are pretty helpful when it comes to missing/broken parts...worth a try if you're anal about these little things

I actually had a good experience with the general AA email. Emailed them saying I am missing a lambo logo on the front of my SV and they replied the next day telling me to give them my address. They said they will send me a new replacement one. Now I haven't received it yet. Its been a week and a bit. Will update if it comes in, ever. LOL

I like it, the quality is good and paint is metallic so I can see sparkles on it. I would have preferred red but green was the only color available. I got it as part of a package deal with a purple R34 GTR for my friend.

I bought that Aventador 1:43, Fujimi, from Wilkinson's at 30% off.

Regular price. $93.95. I paid $73.65 (price includes tax).

Just scroll up, it's on this same posting page :)

That person said they had good success with a missing logo from the email on autoartmodels.com which would be info@aa-collection.com

so here it is... Autoart Nissan GT-R R35 FIA-GT1, but missing the roof antenna :(

i am slightly disappointed in this model. it's barely a diecast? there is a lot of detail, but the trunk lid does not open, and there are more plastic parts than there are in metal :confused:

yes another r34 GT-R (Z2), but my excuse is that this came as a package deal with the nsx and was was "damaged" (ie. scuff on rear bumper, missing fog light lens, one rear wheel was detached)... but for $45 extra i wasn't complaining. i've fixed the rear wheel for now but hope to find something aftermarket online, and i'm still polishing out the scuff:

Does anyone have any experience with Otto brand 1:18 models? I have my eyes on an E39 M5 that's from Otto and they're fairly pricy... not as much as an AutoArt Signature, but getting up there... any comments on detail level? Looks decent in the photos but maybe worth asking with all the German car aficionados on here!

thumper 02-19-2015 05:02 PM
the gti and corrado i posted a few pages back are otto mobile. the early ones do not have crisp masking lines and there are some paint runs, which i have been able to correct easily. the detail is good up top, but the underside is minimal at best.

not sure why but both models came with spare decals...

I contacted them through the general autoart email. Mind you, I still haven't got my lamborghini logo yet. LOL. Maybe they forgot to send it. Will wait another week and contact them again.

does AA NSX and NSX-R share identical taillight? I am in contact from someone from Gateway Europe and she has to actually pull the part off an existing model...i haven't asked how much it'll cost yet...

they never did answer back, but what i ordered showed up in the mail today. box looked like it fell out of a plane getting here, but the diorama survived thank god...

Hey guys, I'm new to the hobby, but not that new either hahaha, been in it for about 2 years. Really into Japanese cars and some lambos.
