If anyone collect diecast cars, it looks like this one will blow away the Autoart 1/18. I found it on http://www.ewacars.com.
Runs a cool $100. It will definitely be in my diecast collection.


Part of my collection!

I think they are "average"... but still pretty good.

I've got three here... two 1:24 and 1 1:18... I am looking for a yellow 1:18 though... I leave mine in the box. The paint just looks good and on the larger, 1:18, cars, the detail is pretty good too. The build is not bad either.

Maisto's are low end usually around 20 bucks. I bought one for my desk at the office. Don't care if people pick it up. Not very detailed. AutoArt is alot more detailed around $55.

I actually just bought a Maisto silver S2000 (1:18). I thought it'd be fun to have in the office. And I agree, I won't care who picks it up, who opens the hood, who turns the steering wheel, etc.

I had no idea about value for it, and it's nice to see I didn't get screwed (I paid $22.)

AutoArt has been promising a Spa Yellow version for months, but none of the retailers I know has seen one yet. Has anyone here actually laid hands on one?

I have a 1/18 Maisto S2000 in silver/red. Its not bad for $24 CAD. I have one for home and office (and someone's always posed it differently for me every morning...)

That 1/24 looks amazing, especially considering its quite a bit SMALLER than the 1/18 Maisto.

Whoever gets one and has digital camera, could you post some larger pics?

$100 bucks is a bit steep for a 1/24th scale but it does look pretty good. I am still waiting for my yellow 1/18 AutoArt and Maisto.

I have two silver 1/18 scale Maisto's, one red one and one black one and then I have a few various smaller scale S2000's as well.

I mostly collect 1/18 scale but I do have some 1/24th and a few 1/12th scales.
