Murcielago models (Burago&AutoArt)

CharlieTuna · 11-10-2001, 08:30 PM

Is anyone familiar with these companies? Is one better or more accurate than another? I can't afford a real Murcielago so I was thinking I may pick one of these up. However I know very little about these 2 companies and don't want to be BS'd by a salesman. This is a link to the AutoArt model: http://wildcollections.zoovy.com/product/AR74511 I don't currently have a link to a Burago model, though I'm sure they are available. Any opinions would help me out. Thanks.

I'm actually getting those. I'm getting the orange and black one though. There is a company in New York and they have a website. If you wanna check it out click here.

I'm not trying to be cheap or anything but did you notice that the Wildcollection place had the same item listed for $5 less? Maybe they have higher shipping prices, I don't know. I just want ot point that out.
I priced one out at each place. The Exoticar place ended up being 58.99. The Wildcollection place was 52.98.

Edit- I also received some responses to the question I had at the top of this thread and it would seem that AutoArt is held in higher regard over Burago in terms of quality and accuracy.

More pics?

Visit ebay and search for murcielago and you'll see a few other pics of the same models from different vendors.

Edit- Incidentally, I'll probably order the yellow and the black in 1/18 scale tonight. When they arrive I could tell you if these are worth the price. If I can steal my friend's camera maybe I'll even be able to post a few pics.

Well, I think I'll get one for myself as an early christmas present to myself. Then I'll tkae a picture of it, photoshop it and show you guys the Murcielago on my driveway. (With a foot of snow on the ground!)

Autoart is a better quality product than Burago. I personally don't like Burago. My two first cars were from them and to be honest, those are the only ones that I have. Even Maisto makes better ones than Burago. Autoart and UT are some of the better ones. They lack in some detail, whereas, Maisto picks those details up. Like working suspension. But that's just my .02.

Yeah, but it is worth it. I collect from Maisto, Ertl(Muscle cars), UT, Mattel, and some others. By far Maisto, UT and AutoArt have the best detail.

These are the cars that I have now.

Well, I got the yellow and the black Murcielago made by AutoArt in 1/18 scale today. All I can say is holy smokes! The detail that these cars have is astounding. Well worth the $. I don't have a camera or anything so I can't take pictures to show you anything. Everywhere I looked on these cars was an incredible amount and attention to detail. About the only place where I could say there is anything wrong is on the bottom. But that seems like nitpicking to me. If anyone is considering a choice like I stated at the beginning of this thread, choose the AutoArt model. You won't be disappointed.
