Dicast model cars

[suburban]

does anyone have any of these?

ive been lookin at a few and ive seen a few biante's with a large price tag with them but the autoart ones look just as good

opinions ?

1:18 scale...

[summoner]

I have the Biante 1:18 scale models, I collect them now pretty much

fantastic models, limited builds so should go up in value if thats your thing

[suburban]

yeh i was sussing out a sierra cosworth (moffat) at a model shop, but shit $160

i was mainly thinking about a collection just for asthetics, not value

i shelled out 90 bucks for an autoart R34. lots of money but just had to have it :P the winfield R32 GTR is like 300 dollars when ive seen it available :\, oh and i have a hotwheels $30 350Z haha mmm cheap and nasty

I've got a few.. but been building plastic ones instead lately as it's more fun and easier to customise them... got lots half finished including scratchbuilt mazdaspeed rx-8

[summoner]

u'll find that biante models are generally around $160 point when they 1st come out.

Yesterday I bought the win percy VL Walkinshaw and vermillion fire XY GTHO Phase III.. the walkinshaw was 160 the gtho was $200. Almost bought the white GTHO but the previous owner wanted $400 for it as it is the rarest of that release.

I buy them for both asthetics and value as I love the detail in them but being a limited run and collectable they should also hold their value should i get bored of them in the future

[Lancey_B]

yeah but they increase in value (or should do) if their not taken out of the box ect ect..

i collect them but i dunno what ones i got theres a few :/ gotta start buying more...

[suburban]

[dattoman]

Mine stay in the boxes till I buy myself a house and can lay them out in the "pool room"

[suburban]
