    Top 5 to get:

    1. CMC 156 Sharknose
    2. CMC 250 TR
    3. CMC 500 F2
    4. Hotwheels Elite 512M (if it ever comes out)
    5. Hotwheels Scuderia Spider 16M Elite (surely they're going to make one - I've got all the other models of the F430 range)
    Hotwheels California Elite (assuming they don't make the above car - which they probably will)

    Top 5 to own (for me Ferrari, as that's all I collect now - all of which are in my collection today...)

    1. CMC 250 SWB
    2. Exoto 641/2
    3. BBR 375 Plus Le Mans
    4. GMP 330 P4
    5. Kyosho 250 GTO (not on the same level as the other 4, but a superb model for the money, IMO)

    I should rephrase the title, by MUST GET I meant what are your top five models that are essential for the serious collector, not necessarily the top 5 you personally need to get to add to your collection.

    Top 5, not in any order:

    1. Exoto Sauber Mercedes C9 - with the level of details, i am glad i grabbed mine from ebay for $140!
    2. Autoart Gallardo - Perfect proportions; as photogenic as one model can get
    3. UT Mclaren F1 (any version) - just for the fact that almost every collector has one :)
    4. Kyosho F40
    5. Kyosho 575 GTC

    Am I the only one desperately longing for the Koenigsegg ?:confused:

    also I heard they (Mattel HW ) are planning a 1950's SuperAmerica

    can someone confirm or deny it ?

    If I wasn't currently buying Ferrari's I would be interested in the Koenigsegg.

    The only other 1:18's I do have in my collection

    GMP Edelbrock/Brizio 1932 Ford Deuce Roadster - Signed by Christie & Vic Edelbrock
    Hot Wheels Classics 1968 Camaro - Signed by Chip Foose

    I also have a couple of AUTOart Lambos.
