I paid 9 € for this one at a news stand in Italy. it's a weekly or monthly thing!! Next one will be a 959!! GREAT bang for the buck



This one costed slightly more , done by Red Line Models like my 1:43 Enzo (see above).. same price, but fucking gorgeous if you ask me!
LE 500 and mine is #490

Cool, TT. Red Line models seems very good. I think they're quite succesful in filling the gap between Minichamps/Ixo etc. and BBR/MR. I hope they'll be releasing other models soon! Look out for Looksmart models as well. They're in the same class. If I remember correctly, Looksmart is a sub-brand of MR.

Yes I agree, they are gorgeous! They also have a couple of race cars (550 and 360) and the Scaglietti here at "my" store... all priced as CS and Enzo... and sadly I never saw Looksmart models around...
but I saw a new Minichamps line that turned me on matte black cars!! They had a Z4, a Boxster, a Smart roadster and a couple more.. quite interesting!

Nope, the local store is pretty nice and I don't like to buy such items without first seeing them with my own eyes

Couldnt agree more with u m8. Especially models from RedLine, BBR etc, that cost quite a few euros/dollars, u have to see them from close first.

LookSmart has some very interesting models, among others a couple of great Lamborghinis. I think you'll like that orange Gallardo...

I love their Miura Jota SRV!! I already have it in both 1:43 and 1:18, but I feel the need for a new one

LOL, I thought you'd like that one... I have seen their Gallardo and Urraco at first hand and the build quality seems very good. What do you think about the 350 Spider, BTW? Looks a lot better even than the one Minichamps made a couple of years back.

I checked again and it is indeed a sub-brand of MR.
Another nice piece of info for those that didn't know already: the 'R' in BBR and MR stands for Reali, which is the surname of the owners of the model car factories. They are brothers.

BTW, MR is going to introduce two new collections. Looks rather amazing I'd say...
High tech collection in collaboration with Bosica (!!!)
Open&Close series
So don't buy that LookSmart Miura SVR just yet, TT. You might want to save up for this one!
