Hi guys,

for all of you who didn't notice, yet:

TOP Marques Collectibles has opened their very own Online Store:

https://www.tmcollectibles.com

They will release some "Special Editions" with nice leather base and high quality acrylic case for a reasonable (Pre-Sale-)Price of 249,90 EUR:
https://www.tmcollec...pecial-editions

Lykan matt black and blue Maserati Bora are available for Pre-Order, now. If you pre-order you can choose from different base colors (leather / stitching).

Good news, I think ...

Greetings
Andy

I can only laugh about their prices

That Maserati Grancabrio looks sweeeeet!!!!!!!!

I can only laugh about their prices

I think 249,90 EUR for a complete package with leather base and acrylic box is a very good price compared with Frontiart, BBR and MR. It's also nice to choose the base color.

I'm also not too happy, what started a short while ago as a BBR budget brand with prices of around 150 - 200 euros is now rapidly becoming a parallel BBR line. I see the prices becoming 299 euros mid 2016...shame

I just won't buy them anymore. To be honest though, as nice as they are, they are not worth the suggested price. I only have them as no one else had made them

(I got them all on auctions for way less than usual)

 

[Josh]

pass.

Special Editions are just an option ... usual price stays at 200 EUR as before.
For the people who ask for a leather base and a display case they offer the Special Editions.

I just want the model thats all lol! To me a model only worths the price increase if all the vents are perforated and more details but charging 50 euros more because it has a leather base and acrylic case alone doesnot do it. But I understand they gotta make profit. I am not complaining since its an option.
I would still buy their "non-special edition" model like the dodge viper though. So far no ones have made a high end of the car.

Prices are 227.19 EUR (USD 257.66) for a Special Edition on pre-sale. That's fair for a high quality model on leather base with acrylic box...

Unfortunately those aren't really high quality models. They're pretty much GT Spirit level. Solid grills instead of real mesh on a lot of their models, visible glue residue and other small imperfections, plastic exhaust tips ect. Looks like an insane price nowadays dictates what "high quality model" is and what's really sad, people are truly tricked. TM can't even be compared to an Autoart model and price from just over a year ago or when you even think you can now get a CMC on a discount for 220E which is truly a high end model can you really justify paying more than 80-100 euros MAX for TM?

Exactly, I love that announced Bora, but it looks really rough in execution, worse than GTSpirit, so 80 euros would be reasonable to me. They can leave the mounting plank, or the fake leather base

 

[Craig]

In my opinion, the pre order price is way too high on these, but there will always be auctions for them, so we will get to see what people really want to pay for them.

On the product page of the Bora it says:
"Attention: Photos don't show the final product. They just give an impression what the model will look like. The final model will comply our high quality standards."

So we should wait before we complain about the quality. The birth of a perfect high quality model is a long process...

For me the top marques dodge viper looks great. They currently give away a 10% off coupon for buying the vipers in their new webstore.

been a while since i've posted here but curious about anyone's experience ordering directly from LS Collectibles. I have an issue: paid for two models in early september.....and STILL not received them. I look up my invoice and it is still listed as "processing". We have passed the 3 month mark now and my previous email 3 weeks ago went unanswered. I sent another tonight demanding a response within a week. at any rate, it will likely be the last time i ever buy from them directly as I have found their customer service and lack of response completely unacceptable.

Has anyone else here dealt with them in the past? I am curious if this is a fluke experience or common practice for them.

the ML63 AMG and cl600 7.0 amg in white. When i look, it still lists the cl600 as a "preorder available september 2018". The real kicker here though is they now have the cl600 in two new colors (silver and black) for January 2019 preorder. HOW DO they offer more of the same model in a different color for preorder when they havent even fulfilled previous orders that were due out in september and then blatantly ignore a PAID customer's email inquiry?!?! The ML63 is supposedly out and available to purchase in their online store. Either way, while the wait time sucks, i'm far more pissed off about the lack of response to emails. I just dont see how a company can have such terrible customer service. If i dont hear back from them with this last email, i may just go to the credit card company and see if I have any recourse.

at any rate, it will be the first and last time i order from them directly...just shoddy customer service in my opinion. I was more curious if anyone else has had similar experiences or if my case is just a "fluke".
