Getting a bit tiring all these 4x4...

Me too, still waiting for their Zonda models

 

[naughtymontrealers]

Same here. I hope 2021 will change.

This company proves why it is a bad idea to announce a model and never release it. The Zonda is one of the MOST beloved of ALL supercars ever. And oddly, it has been largely ignored by the 1/18 hobby industry. Four Years ago this company ALmost real comes along and says " We have heard your petitions and we are doing the Zonda and many wonderful versions no less!"

Instead they release a steady torrent of SUVS, which for the most part, supercar enthusiasts could care less about. Almost Real has annoyed many of the collectors in this hobby to a great degree, myself included, and have hardly even released ANY models outside of the 6 or so different SUV models they are milking endlessly and of course the AMG GT R. Consider how many new toolings AUTOart has done just in the past few years. I know Almost Real are first indebted to make the models that OTHER companies are using their factory for, but Geez just do the ONE thing you promised on like 4 years ago!

Exactly my thoughts!! I also tried to contact them. Once by email and the second time by FB messenger, but no replies. Bad customer service!
Whatever reason they have for the delay, it should not be this long but who knows. They remind me of High Performance Diecast years ago, which announced an Agera then took a couple year break without news then came back to ask for opinion about color choice then disappeared forever hahaha 🤪

I think consistency is the key word.

Yep im in full agreement with those comments. Also I fear when they do release the model.they are going to do it with fancy bases, display cases and stupid brief case style boxes majority of us dont want due to space yet force you to pay a premium for.... AR are no longer my collecting saviour brand, LCD are superb models at a crazy good price point isnt that what we all want!!!

I gave up on the AR LR Defender 110 Camel Trophy and got myself a pair of floor standing speakers. Now boys and I can listen to some good music and I don't have buyers remorse. Will get an amp with the money saved in getting the 90 as well.

Yea its silly to pay a premium for the packaging only to be put away for storage. The packaging to me is just for resale value and protection when we ship the model to a buyer. I am hoping LCD will take note of what we collectors discussed and make one.

OK, 46 pages of Almost Real news? Can we just get a 2021 thread.

 

[Craig]

Sure.

It's like watching schuco's endless parade of vw minibus releases. Autoart is releasing models at a more than 50-1 rate to AR.
