Again, I have zero affiliation with Amiami, but they also have the "normal" street version as well, the Kawasaki Ninja H2

AmiAmi [Character & Hobby Shop] | 1/12 Complete Motorcycle Model Kawasaki Ninja H2(Pre-order)

About 1700Yen for the sale pre-order. IMO pretty good deal

yup. I bought it already from another vendor. I wanted all of the other colors so I ordered the ones above. Sellers picture. Pre-ordering a Tarmac EG, a couple Spoon EK's and shopping for NSX's now.

Geesh, model cars are so much fun to collect and much cheaper than the 2 heaps that sit in my garage :P

one of the side mirrors of a AA Signature just popped off when I very lightly bumped it with a finger. I know it's a simple super glue job for it to be 100% again but I shouldn't be having these kinda problems on a midrange diecast.

anyone here own Norev models? They look like pretty good value. Came across this great diorama

Spoiler!

I found a different HK guy on facebook. Dabox is a bit pricey and never responded to my emails. I did order the champ white DB8R(Hi-Story I think) but they refunded my money saying that it was damaged.

Once my order arrives safe and sound I'll share where I got them from. If he fucks me, I'll also share.

@68style: I'd be interested and would make it worth your time. Mostly due to the language barrier. Pretty much anything NSX or E30 M3 related I'd be interested in.

I'm white too if that matters hahaha I bought all the Mark 1:43 NSX models when I was there 3 months ago

I don't think I've been to hung hing toys based on what I see on google street view

i've only seen norevs in the box at wilkinson's. best if you check it out in person against other brands in the store especially if it's the same car, both in quality and price.
