Mattel elite 60th Anniversary releases (due 2007)

instead of the P4/5 mattel will release the Ferrari Zagato 575GTZ in scale 1:18. both the silver and black versions

(still would rather have seen the p4/5....)

 

I agree with Mattel being below par but but respectfully disagree about the rights going to BBR exclusively.First of all I believe that the car deserves the right of full-detail-model.Second I believe that Us-the collectors deserve to have it also in something else than 1:43 scale (I don't believe BBR would go 1:18 with it).Third I believe that such a model should be available for everyone (wealth-wise) and not only to the people who can shell out $350 for a limited BBR model.
There fore I really hope it gets produced by Kyosho.THey have licensing from Ferrari (Mattel).Also they have the base Enzo in 1:12 to (dare I dream it) produce the model in large scale and they have a 1:43 scale Enzo to produce a model for all the small scale collectors.Best of all they have reasonable prices.
Either way,Jim, if you are reading this,only one thing we are all sure about
IT NEEDS TO BE MADE!!!

 

i just hope jim has whoever do the special limited edition f-chat member only version!

 

Good choices. I'm also looking forward to seeing what they do with their 166MM in upgrading to Elite.

 

If you want detail, all the more reason to go for 1:43 handbuild, i.c. BBR. Let's just hope it will not be limited to a limited series of Feeling43 kits. I can't afford $ 3.500 for a single 1:43 model.

 

Agreed.

 

This will all be sorted soon.

Best

 

By detail I mean that BBR are most likely to make it in limited edition in 1:43 and no opening parts.No opening parts means no engine detail.Or opening parts from them means big$$$$.Me personally, I would buy one if it comes in 1:18 no matter what the price.However I can not say the same about paying $200 for a 1:43 model just because it is made by certain company.

 

I can't wait for the 1:18 P4/5!!!!
Anybody knows if will be produced the 2005 Pininfarina Maserati Birdcage, and if in the future we'll can find a decent 1:18 model of the Pagani Zonda (the exhisting one is not so good...)?
