hurstg01: welcome to the club of AutoBarn McLaren F1 GTR collectors! And good way to start it with the AM005, if it was your first!
Even though IXO makes some of the GTRs cheaper, for me they are not real things as they use always the same base molds: LM'95 winner for all short tails and Gulf #41 for all long tails. And now is really a good time to grab on to those better ones (AutoBarn, Minichamps) as they have come down considerably in prices from the high prices of 2006, when people really paid insane amounts of money for some of the popular ones (Marlboros, Larks, Davidoffs, etc.). This year I have almost completed my Minichamps Le Mans 1/43 collection (1995-98) as there hasn't been new AB's GTRs since last year.
