Default Models online shop

What online shops are you using and why (what is the best feature of the site)? i.e. why should I try it out also

All recommendations are awaited.

EDIT: talking about models shops apparently.

what is the best brand for scale models? so far i've purchased bugaro and maisto. i'm not sure if this applies only to me, but my maisto models have have broken down (the wheels). i don't keep my scale models in the box -- does that cause quick depreciation? *ignorant*

Of 1:18 scale models i'd say either Minichamps or Autoarts are the best, however be prepared to pay $100 or more.


The wheels and i know because it's happened to me can start to bend outwards, although it usually only happens to the cheaper models. I personally have 105 1:18 scale models and not one of them remains in a box.

Exoto, Autoart, GMP AND CMC are the best IMO..
