Die Cast Limited Editions
-
I just happened to see the Limited Edition Die Cast model of the Mercedes Maclaren SLR in a shop at Harbourfront today...
When I inquired about the price, I nearly fainted... $500!!! Although I have to admit the the details are really good... but still... it's $500!! Normal ones are about $115 to $130.... this is like 3 times the price!!
Hai~... I asked if they could book one for me... then they asked me when I wanted it... I told them I'd have to save up the money first... hehe... Looks like I really have to find a job this hols...
Anyone willing to buy something that costs so much, just cos it's limited edition?? -
nah show u my latest toy.

the workman ship is execellent and extremely detailed. look at the engine cover and hinges.. even the interior inside is made exactly of the same leather of the real SLR. -
This particular model is manufactuer by CMC - designed in Germany and produced in China. It is in 1:18 scale and, as mentioned is very high in detail. The interior contains seats and steering wheel covered in genuine leather. However the wheels on the model are a little under-scaled as complained by several people who have bought the model, looking more like 17 to 17 1/2 inch to scale rather than the actual 18 inch items.
Its a very nice model, but to tell you the truth the 500$ price is way above what it should retail for locally. They are selling in the states for 185$ US, which is around 300$ Singapore. The mark up, as you might note, is 200$ - I would say shipping makes up only 15% of that so you do the math to see if its worth that price
Nikko tends to drive up the prices for these so called exclusive models, I guess its a matter of supply and demand! -
