Thumbs down ToysandHobbies.com

So I stumbled on to this website while searching die cast Lambos and noticed something very wrong. Can you guess?

At least to me it seems crazy. I don't have that kind of play $$$

It's a 1:12 scale model, thats relatively cheap for that quality. Not a big surprise. See how much you have to pay for a 1:12 Exoto of BBR (if they make them).

I love cars and collecting anything that has to do with cars but, I set my budget at no more than $150 for a single die-cast. I love the GMP stuff and own two Buick Grand Nationals that were $80-$90 a piece. Something like this 1:12 Lambo would probably never make it into my collection though, at least not till I'm much older and financially better off.

I'd actually like to see it though just to witness how good the detail really is. If anybody has a 1:12 die cast like that please e-mail me with pictures or post them.

Re: ToysandHobbies.com

I set my budget for a diecast at $20 (including build supplies), unless I really get interested.

My plastic model budget on the other hand...no wonder all my money is gone.

WOW!! I'm loving the F40. Maybe it is money well invested, those are absolutely gorgeous.
