You have got to be Falcon kidding me! It is about Falcon time! What the Falcon! Ok, that is all I have.

And still there is this belief that those of us outside OZ/NZ couldn't possibly be interested in an easier source for such models.
GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

For those interested, I have updated the image of my Dan Gurney McLaren above....

Yep, Carlectables seems to be content with AU only. I am not sure why they wouldn’t want to expand their niche in the market (even though it is not a huge market, but there must be a distributor in other parts of the world that would handle distribution for not a huge cost). Unless they have done those calculations and it is too costly for their low production runs.

It is the “can you hear me now"

Nice Pioneer Falcon, that one can be a bit pricey!

yep, this thing goes for crazy prices

I buy this 2 cars

@ws6_22: I love the 917! Is it the Minichamps or Exoto version?

 

[preisman]

First model of the year. Norev GT3 Touring

I can see it's the Exoto model - the Minichamps has a poor seat and moulded seatbelts, whereas the Exoto has a superb detailed seat and harness. I have the white Exoto version and the Sunoco Minichamps. The Exoto is amazing and quite an old model now

Plus the Exoto boxes under it....

I got something I've been chasing literally for years, the Minichamps Porsche Carrera 6 (906) that won the 1966 Targa Florio overall driven by "Wild Willy" Mairesse (his 2nd win in the race) and Herbert Müller (his 1st of two wins). It's a bit worse for wear, with a repaired mirror and a missing right front spoiler, but still is a catch (seller's pic):

 

[GnatGoSplat]

Hongqi H9. Wasn't on my list, but it's just such an interesting looking car, with the mishmash of styles: boxy, formal, upright front end, but sporty, fastback-shape from windshield on back. Like the automotive equivalent of a mullet: business up front, party in the rear. Plus with the reasonable price, I couldn't resist. I was quite surprised by the weight, it just might be my heaviest model. The bottom is all metal.

This top one’s hood (bonnet) shows what I give for Biante post 2017 paint jobs. CC Commodore.

2017 Biante, so paint is good (I wonder if new ones are wraps). I am sticking to pre-2017 Biante only I think.

I'm not a Supercars follower, but those models look gorgeous! Are they resin or - dare I ask? - diecast?

These are diecast; only resin for me is either Tecnomodel or BBR. Everything opens on the Classic Carlectables Commodore and the Biante has all opening parts except the trunk (boot). I will snap a couple photos tomorrow.

First F-Type in my Jaguar lineup, the Project 7, Top Speed resin. Won it for only $50, and it's pretty good for a resin 😄

A rescue - some issues, but price was right and it shined up well. CC Ford Falcon Bathurst

Great purchase, which makes me very jealous.
No less than Jacky Ickx was the co-driver with Moffat in this car, which makes him a real rarity in OZ - a 100% winning record.

exoto off course

They were nearly giving these away at one point.

I often considered one, but by the time I decided I wanted one, the prices had climbed...

I have never, ever, heard or seen this car before. Interesting purchase, congrats.
