Picked this up on ebay, from Germany. Do not buy it locally, they are an absolute f****** rip off. This cost me $155 landed. They are trying to sell them here for $395. I can understand some markup, but that is ridiculous.

My opinion is that it isn't as good as the Sun Star...but....its still 1/12 and quite nice.

Thanks for sharing the pics. The price difference between here and the rest of the world is annoying. The local retailers want us to pay GST on imports to make us buy locally. If the price difference was only 10% I think most of us would buy locally but 250% seems to be the going rate.

The red 12" version was recently offered by modelisimo on the German ebay at a bargain price of 100€ / 155 $, that's probably where you got yours from. The normal price for them in Europe is just over 150€ / 185$ + postage, a bit more for the sportspackversions even. If I ever see a 13" version for 155 $ I'll go for it.

That's them. Highly recommend those guys. The model was dispatched the afternoon I bought it via DHL. It was packed REALLY well.

I wanted to grab the sportspack one aswell, but I couldn't justify spending the extra $30-$40......to my wife...lol
