Thanks for the replys.

I'll give Greenlight a chance since the price is low and I'll see it for myself. I know they are new to the market at least for 1:43 models.
For EBBRO, I have a J-Collection alterantive so I'll go for it at similar price. I know those are fine.

I get occasional emails of new releases - this one caused me to raise an eyebrow and say "a what?!"
1979 Rolls Royce delivery van

This was commissioned by Krug champagne in 1984 to 'properly' deliver their product... has a couple of fridges in back to keep the bubbly cold.
Was sold by the company and later re-acquired for their museum.

Pretty neat.

Couldn't pass up an M5 when I was in Costco today. I kicked myself when I saw it last year but didn't grab one.

This looks frigging awesome.  Assume this is a pre-production and would hope the door mis-alignment gets fixed.

Door alignment on a model car..?  First world problems.  :rofl2:

But, on a near $400 model you shouldn't see an obvious issue like that

Good eye, Weels.

Indeed, Snowballs, what IS up with the Subie brochure?  Is Junior ready for a car already?
