    Is Paragon any good? And how are they compared to Kyosho's old BMW models?

    So I returned my G500 and it turned out that the LWB's out of stock, so I ended up getting the SWB. And to be honest I'm actually kinda liking it more than the long one, I'll post some pics soon.

    Returning the G500 for a broken mirror. Why do so many diecasts get damaged in shipping?

    Because handling packages on posts are really bad and it looks like poor packaging

    Poor packaging is the main one, probably. I recived 30-35 cars last year and 2 were damaged. Minichamps M3 GT2 was totally wrecked, the rear screws holding it to the base broke and turned the not-snug clam shell into a blender. The other was an Exoto XJR9, but that model breaks if I look at it so I blame Exoto.

    QC on the other hand, had several of those.

    What do you collect? Only Bentleys? Maybe you should try out a Kyosho Rolls-Royce!

    I mostly collect European cars (Bentley, Merc, BMW), but I also collect trucks, muscle cars, and some supercars too.

    been quite a while since I bought anything from Megamo but the few times that I did, they were really good. Secured packaging and quick shipping.

    Finally got a display case, unfortunately I could only fit like 7 of my diecasts in it since the shelves were too small for the rest of my models.

    Be careful with superglue as it can 'burn' the plastic & make it change colour.

    What's superglue in gel?

    Superglue dont burn thru plastic? How ever glue that you use while building plastic models, that glue does melt the plastic as it is intended. You can also read on the package what material the glue is suitable for. You would want superglue that is gel so you can use a toothpick and spread it nice and even, liquid glue is pos, it will get all wet and drippy all over.

    Why are resin models so expensive even though they don't have any moving/opening parts?

    Not all of them are expensive, OTTO for example (and even GT Spirit) are not much more money.

    Handmade, limited numbers, expensive molds,artificially inflated pricing, a la "premium" designation.

    Craig raises a very valid argument. Otto and GT Spirit are ⅓, ¼, or even less than the cost of MR and BBR resins, for not much less quality. I feel MR and BBR charge so much simply because people are willing to pay that kind of money for supercar models.

    Bugatti has a very rich racing history that dates as far back as the late 1930s (Le Mans). There's definitely more to Bugatti than just merely the Veyron or their other notable super cars.

    I just ordered Highway 61's C10. What should I get next, Autoart's Holden Commodore for $90 or their 850R for $150?

    I have the 850tr. I really dont think its that impressive. The Holden is cool since its like an Australian muscle car. But I recommend checking out Classic Carletables if you want Holdens as they are much superior quality compared to AUTOart and theyre an Australian company. Also you can get more HW61s, you wont be disappointed with them!
