1:18 model FR-S? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

cfusionpm · 03-29-2013, 02:34 PM

I have about 50 or so 1:18 and 1:24 scale cars I like collecting, usually exotics or just cars I like. Been searching around and can't seem to find any, or at least none available yet. I'm looking for a red one, preferably 1:18 and FR-S or GT86.

I've seen that, and I've seen lots of "coming soon" and "will be here."

Feel free to link me to a place where I can actually buy it! :P

Jebus! That model is $200 on ebay! I'd buy one for $20 but no way I'd part with $200 for a toy car.

For an AUTOart, I'd go as high as $100. They're quality products and I have a few of them myself. I find the best value though are in the Maisto and Bburago. They are usually around $15-25, with working suspensions and steering. Interior quality isn't as good, doors aren't as nice, but it's a pretty dang good package for the price. AUTOart are extremely detailed to every part inside and out, interior, engine bay and all. They are also a lot more fragile, but it's top notch detail.

its most likely gonna be about 130 for auto art. I have the auto art ducatti sport 1000 (one of my fave motorcycles of all time)
Ill probably split with my money for a black gt86 (hoping frs tho) if it goes on the market

my personal fave brand is jada. their models may lack the steering or suspension mentioned in the other post but they are the most visually appealing.

ooo
just found this but its only 1:36 scale

A hobby shop near me (Orlando) carries them so I know they exist with a little search

I need to get one as well, autoart is local as well for me. 10 minutes away i ll go take a peek soon

TOMIMOTO · 03-30-2013, 09:26 AM

Is that really the AUTOart model? I emailed them a couple months ago and they said they were working on it. They also don't have it listed on their website.

I've been waiting for this. They make some seriously good quality models. They're worth every penny I think.

Pretty sure those are much smaller than 1/18" scale. Unless that is a HUGE cup.
