I'd suspect that AutoArt owns the molds and design and that Biante just paid them for the work. Otherwise why wouldn't Biante take those old molds and give them to another manufacturer to build for them? There is still strong demand for older Holdens and Fords based on Classic Carlectibles constant output and they've essentially ceded the entire market to them except for the lone XB sedans.Me too!
Those models are highly detailed, and would probably be far more expensive to rerun.
To the point where they would be more than the average buyer would be prepared to pay.
We've seen similar subjects made outside China that have major QC issues.
This one was from one of the members on an AU Facebook group. i was in the right place at the right time as I know there were lots of folks pinging him once he listed it.
Yes I'd say so. Autoart would be holding them in storage. I was waiting for the molds to pop up somewhere else one day - just like the Schuco Cooper T51, that model was developed by Biante but the factory they were using went into receivership and they couldn't get the molds back, only for the model to pop up internationally under the Schuco branding some time later......anyway sorry for the thread hijack, back to topic.I'd suspect that AutoArt owns the molds and design and that Biante just paid them for the work.

I saw this listing, it was a good pickup - not cheap, but try and find another one!!This one was from one of the members on an AU Facebook group. i was in the right place at the right time as I know there were lots of folks pinging him once he listed it.
