1. AutoArt Lamborghini Diablo 6.0
2. Kyosho F40
3. Hotwheels Elite FXX
4. Hotwheels Elite 333SP
5. AutoArt Porsche 917 Long Tail Martini #21 Le Mans

Yeah, I only have 15 or 20 1:18 models, I really want to expand it more soon. Robbie whats your top 5?

 

CMC 156 Sharknose
CMC 250 Testa Rossa
Kyosho Z4 Coupe
Kyosho 645Ci
Kyosho E92 M3

 

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.

 

If that's the case, then why don't we do this then -

Oh you're Martin Miura right?

 

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

 

That is very nice! Will definately be looking for that when it comes around.

 

Am I the only one desperately longing for the Koenigsegg ?

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

can someone confirm or deny it ?

 

6.0
Veyron
K'Segg

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