    I did lol @ asking if it was a good deal etc, after buying it.

    They are very hard to find now. I think the deal was ok.

    I can imagine you did. tbh I'm not a diehard collector like most here, just wondered if I was going in the right direction. I wanted the 2 models anyway but not at 12-1700 asking price :)

    Sometimes the set goes for less and sometimes it goes for more on auction, but it definitely wasn't a bad price. It will be incredibly hard to find another set for less than that in the future, I've seen people asking 6~900€ without even having the boxes. Yes you got a good deal, now go enjoy them, mine is on display too ;)

    Congrats! I'm wondering what the problem was about having to delay shipments.

    Dang, GT Spirit has QC issues - My model is now delayed by another 3 weeks - already waited 6-8 weeks. Ugh, luxury problems.

    GT Spirit is a top-notch company. I am seriously thinking about selling a lot of my die-cast models so I can use that $ for whatever GT Spirit has in store. I love their German cars, and now it looks like they are going to slowly expand the brands they offer, too. I'll take delays in exchange for great QC and service. They have my loyalty at a time when no other model maker does.

    Not happy with Modelissimo, order an Aston Martin limited 1 of 25 pieces, receive a racing livery AM instead, and the article I ordered/want is no longer on their website.

    From everything I've heard, everybody likes Modelissimo, until something goes wrong, then nobody likes them.

    Well I guess all Aston's look the same ;) Sorry to hear, hope they sort you out. I have bought a lot from them and whilst they are the best online shop I've dealt with, there have been small issues from time to time. Strange to hear about the stock issues, usually they remove sold out models from their site until they get more stock.

    They very rarely sell for under 290 EUR & if they do they are likely to be imperfect.

    Update on "Found a HWE red Ferrari F430 for Eur 79 with box mint." Seller decided to keep it - due to rarity - but now he offered it for Eur 100 incl shipping. Happy me, poorer me!

    Just found 3 out of 4 wheels on my FrontiArt Mclaren MP4-12C have cracked heart - darn. Does FrontiArt have a 'spare parts' organisation? If so what's the process? Did not buy from a vendor but fellow collector a while back.

    Have Maisto MB SLS - not happy because of colour mismatch between metal body and plastic front bumper. What brand does a better job of it?
