Default Maisto 350Z 1:18 scale diecast problem

Any one else notice that the cruise controls are on the wrong side of the steering wheel? Ticks me off that they can't pay attention to details...j/k.

P.S. Picked up a 1:32 Super Drift 350Z R/C car at walmart marked down to $7.

Well at least you got it. I ordered a silver AutoArt 1:18 from freshalloy and never got it. I am waiting for the charge to show up on my account.



btw..I went out to Radio Shack and bought 5 more of those 35th's for $1.47 ea. They were marked to sell at $4.99...great deal for those little buggers.

Got my 1:18 Silver Z from Costco. They also have the NISMO version for only $9.99. I also have the 1:24 and the Radio Shack version with the engine sounds.

kisses,

ps. I like to collect miniatures. One of my collections is that of a one of a kind 10,000+/- piece factory (machinery made of lead and wood) in 1/4"=1'-0" scale. It is valued at roughly $100,000. Of course, I wouldn't want to let anyone play with that.

How can one have a mental picture when it is obvious that they don't have an imagination?

I have the AutoArt 1:18, AutoArt 1:64, Maisto 1:18, 1:24, Some unknown brand 1:43s, an Xmods 1:26 RC, and a 1:10 RC

The AutoArt is by far the most accurate, and for the price it should be. Even has fuzzy carpet.

The Maisto 1:24 has many problems as well, including the B-Pillar being attached to the door when it opens

I ordered an AutoArt 1:18 LH drive silver Z. I ordered it directly through them, and I hope I will finally get to have one. I have a Road Signature 1:18. It is very accurate, however it lacks a lot of detail. I bought it at BJ's for $9.88. That was a good price. My son give me a 1:34 a Kinsmart black Fairlady, and an RS 1:72 (with display case). The RS model has great detail and accuracy for such a small metal diecast.

I have several Radio Shack 35th's w/ sound. I will probably only keep a couple for myself.

I have been looking for a 1:18 black 35th so I could have a replica of my full size, but they may not come out. I am waiting for the 2006's to come out. They have the 35th's wheels. If the 2006's become popular that may give AutoArt the incentive to make them. If I had a black 2006 that would be close enough for me.

I am also looking for a '72 Mercedes 280SE4.5 sedan. I have the full size. If you know of a place that would have them please let me know. Once I get the miniature it might give me the inspiration to sell the full size. I don't have enough garage space here at home.
