S550 diecast collectibles

[Twin Turbo]

Could be old news by now, but I first saw this yesterday:

THANK YOU!!!!!

I've been searching for '18MY ones for ages, so this must have hit the market in the last few weeks!! Not available in the UK yet, so I've just paid $27 postage on a $15 model

Oh well, it can be an early Christmas present to myself

Just found it on Amazon. Shipping may have been cheaper there for you guys across the pond. It was like $12 +$12 shipping.

Thank you, but that calculates to $59 to get it to the UK

Anyone purchased? I would pick one up for so cheap, as long as it isn't really poor quality.

I just got mine in yesterday, and it's not bad. The doors will easily open, and I have to carefully push against them to make sure they don't open when I release it. The colors don't exactly match a specific Ford color, with the blue being somewhere between Kona Blue and Lightning Blue.

No vert?

No vert?

It's at home. The S550 and the Camaro Fifty coupe are both 1:18. The only vert Camaro Fifty I've been able to find is a 1:24

Revell also sells a 2018 snap-on plastic model. I bought it to customize it and make it look as close to my 2018 as possible (Kona blue, Red interior (although not recaros), silver wheels). It came originally as Orange Fury with black wheels and interior. Would really like to find an exact die-cast replica of my car though

Finding "exact" replicas is a slippery slope, let me tell you. This link will show where my idea of collecting a 1:43 version of all the cars I've owned—or that have been in the immediate family—led. I haven't updated the page since the 2006 advent of a Toyota RAV 4, and the first of six Mustangs—also in 2006. Tiny cars on the premises must be more than 1,700 by now. I've got to the point where I realize my heirs will regard them as junk, so my next move is to repack the ones in display cases, and sell them all off.

Costco is selling Maisto 1:18 diecasts for $14.99. The one near me has 2015 Mustangs. I already have one of those on my desk at work, or I would have snapped one up.

I haven't updated the page since the 2006 advent of a Toyota RAV 4 and the first of six Mustangs, in 1996. Tiny cars on the premises must be more than 1,700 by now.

That's a pretty nice collection there!

Luckily, I don't really forsee myself falling down the slope too far. I've owned very few cars, nor will I ever own many, that have as much personal significance to me as my S550. The only other one that comes close is my first car, a 2003 Ford ZX2... now that's a car that I KNOW I will never find a model of haha

I'd just like to have one exact replica of my mustang, and it'll probably just stay with the car... whether I sell it or end up passing it down to my kids

BTW, here's the Revell snap-on model that I customized

I'm really hoping Maisto are not going to cheap out and not give us an '18MY version. Producing the '15 in Orange Fury is disappointing......it needs to be an '18!!!!!

I also really want an '18 in Need For Green!
