The fact that you would even contemplate such a conundrum is quite disturbing....<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
The Kyosho is a accurate replica.
The Mattel is a overpriced joke...

And you say this with the authority of having both side-by-side to compare them and from being intimate with the 1:1? or do you base this on pictures you googled and pictures in a magazine?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
We seem to have a lot of Hotwheel apologists here...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Far from it! If you read my other posts you can see that I don't apologize for Hot Wheels or any manufacturer, but at least I don't resort to bashing other models so I can feel good about my purchases.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Maybe not for you, but for many here price is an issue. If you get 70 or 80% of the model for 60% of the price, yes, they can be compared and the Hot Wheels model will come out very well in that race.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
I don't 'shop' at Exoticar (why you make this assumption?).<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Do you get them for free?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
What???<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Why I cannot say that Hotwheels is crap?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Sourcing or finding a model is not a problem, as long as you have web access,so i don't think there's great relevance with that issue. Is $69 the regular price on the Kyosho? I haven't seen them that cheap but I have seen the Elite for 30 something. I say again, you get 80% of the car for half the price. Doing that math the Elite is better.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Thank you. 'Nuff said...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
So what are you doing here?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Usually, to have a debate two or more side need to make a point, which in my opinion, you have not. Please take the time to read my post above and point if you do not agree with any of it.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Enjoying diecasts generally! I cannot believe all the fuzz debating "Which is really the best"! The Kyosho is best, the Elite is good if you do not like the F40 enough to accept the price tag. Some of the nitpicking around models here are soon down to the level of "they use child laborers to produce the wheels", "the paint may be poisonous if the sunlight hits it in the right angle".<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
