Hi guys, I want to buy the Ferrari F40 but still don't know which I should get, Hotwheels or Bburago or Tonka Polisti?. I know that Bburago's quality is poor, Hot Wheels's is kinda of toy like, but Tonka's headlamps look real, they pop up like Kyosho's 1/12. Please let me know the quality of the Tonka's F40 in 1/18, thanks alot.

Polisti aren't known for their quality and it's probally the worst of your three choices. I did have the Burago F40 but I ended up selling it when I bought my Hot Wheels version. I like the Hot Wheels's version more because it has side windows.

The Hot Wheels version is the one to get. If you want the pop-up lights, then get the Polistil, but it lacks the detail of the other 2.

The Polistil version is awfull, the proportions are just wrong. Avoid it by all means. Get the Hot Wheels. The Bburago is a bit worse than the Hot Wheels (worse paint, less detail and it's not the real F40, but the prototype F40).

Get the Hot Wheels.

But the Bburago F40 does have its merits though. For instance:
- the wheels on the Bburago are WAY better, I hate the Hot Wheels's bling-bling execution
- the locks (black strips) for the front and rear decks

And the side windows are nothing to brag about really, it looks so messy! I'd rather have these side windows...

i like my Bburago more then the Hot Wheels cos of the wheels.... but i guess when u are comparing the Hot Wheels/Bburago...nothing that much different about them.... i wish Kyosho wld do a 1:18

They all miss the black line running aroung the car, i have the Hot Wheels car and it has gone through a modding frenzy of better detail, when i have time, ill plumb the engine.

Oh, and i have the Kyosho 1:12 scale one as well, hurt the wallet abit though, but nthe more i look at it, the more i think that it was worth the extra hours at work to get it.

I just got the Hot Wheels F40 and it really is a mixed bag.

in my opinion I buy say the 550 or the 288 and you get a lot of money for your USD$30.

The Hot Wheels F40 looks like a $30 model!

Lots of really cheap points but until Exoto comes to the party, this is it.

If you really wanna cry, compare to the baby:

in my opinion, I say go for the Bburago because it is the most customizable. :mine :cheers

Yep, the Kyosho 1/12 F40 is worth saving your pennies for... I did have a Bburago F40 in yellow, but gave it away last year as my collection improved and I didn't have the space for it. I'd have to vote for the Hot Wheels...

 

[MockingBird]

LOL

You're funny!

I now have the F40, F50 and Enzo by Hot Wheels.

I need the 288GTO to finish off the modern "Super" Ferrari collection.

I'm keeping my eye out>

I wish that Hot Wheels will start the production line again because the demand certainly is there.
