Well, I just came back from my local supplier and I placed a pre-order for a Aston Martin GTE in 1:43 scale. ^^



Up next, it’s the Porsche 919, but it may have to wait until my birthday.  (That is, if I DO get some money from my parents. I just have to wait / be patient. They ALWAYS give me money on my birthday / as a Christmas present ‘cuz they dunno what to get XD. I mean, it's only 3 months away :3) I was surprised to find out that:

A. even tho the listing has been taken down from the main site (…and I thought it was pre-sold out), it is STILL up for pre-order in Australia (…and I was REALLY surprised to find out that the company that ships all the diecasts from Europe is Apex Replicas. Now, I have A LOT of their products in my collection. Before the Pandemic, they had the cheapest diecasts. The only downside is, they don’t have any opening parts and it's just one solid piece. Now that might seem like a bad thing, but it's not. You have NO idea just how EXPENSIVE their competitors are I'll give you guys an example. A 1:18 of a V8 Supercar made by Apex Replicas would be $180. A Biante (with opening doors, etc.) would be $195. Well, because of the pandemic, it's now a whopping $215. Yeah, NO thanks ...and if you thought THAT was expensive? Authentic Collectibles is selling those for $250. Yeah, they are asking for WAY too much...and for what it is, Apex Replicas makes some pretty-good looking diecasts ^^) 

B. I can get a Porsche 919. O.O Now, this one is a bit of a novelty, but I still want to get it. This car is…actually faster than a Formula 1 car. Now, you might think I’m crazy, but go and look it up. Not only that, Porsche has had a MASSIVE amount of success in the 24 hours of Le Mans :3 and...





C. These models are really cheap. Like, I can get these highly detailed Spark models for $100.  now these might be a little more expensive than your average 1:43 scale model, but not by much. Most of the 1:43 scale model diecasts here in Australia are $70 - $85. 

Right now, I want to save as much as I can, cuz there’s a couple of Star Wars figurines I want to get.  *sighs* 2020 is after my wallet, that's for sure XP I'm just gonna go ahead say this: When you're a collector, you're NEVER satisfied XD
