That Falcon at the end of the list above looks familiar....
I know it's not quite the same version, but I'd be willing to bet they come from the same factory.

Apex Replicas was bought by Biante's holding company not too long ago so some products do appear similar.

Well actually the above is a BF Falcon, the list is FG Falcons which are the later series.

 

I'm probably in for the Sierra RS500.

Have you seen this?
https://carmodel.com/apex-replicas/127624/1-18/ford-usa/fpv-gt-f-police-highway-patrol-2014/127624

 

I have, I've got one

 

During one of their regular 10% discount promotions I assume?

Did the model meet your expectations, allowing for the usual sealed resin drawbacks?

 

I got it off of eBay in HK
It's a nice model, exactly what I was expecting I would have liked it to open, but I'm used to sealed resins models now

 

Was it a dealer who specialises in Apex models?
Were you stung for import charges?

 

No, some random toy seller, no none

Thanks for the info.
Prices listed seem to be all over the place - a fully opening diecast Holden costs less than a sealed resin alternative.
I must be missing something (not that I will be buying any of these - it's way too expensive to import them).

 

I find the pricing puzzling too. The only model I am getting is the Sandman. Jungle Green seems to be the nth color variant for the VFII casting.

 

The Senator's lovely! I really like it!
