Just wondering, how much were they and where did you get them?


Depends on the brand and exclusivity. Most of the ones I have were around $100, some a little more and some a little less, depending on how many were made and by who. The one I have coming is probably my craziest one yet and was about $200. I find them on eBay and sometimes Amazon.

Finally a pic of my whole collection, or at least the collection I have at my apartment (I have more at my actual house but none better than these). Not sure if there's anything out there I want to add at the moment, pretty content currently.

Jon, I really envy your LFA. That has always been a model that's always eluded me.
I had a chance to buy one off my local diecast store for $150, but sadly two days later when I got my money together, it was gone. Haven't seen ANY online with a reasonable price. You're lucky to pick one up. That models a great investment to have. However, I myself have a LFA Nurburgring, which isn't nearly as special as the regular version to me.

Wow, I had no idea the LFA was sold out/discontinued. I would never ever sell, the LFA means too much to me. I've had the model for years, since it first came out really. It was my first Aa and it's what sold me on the brand. Now I'm quite glad I have it! I thought about having it customized actually.

About a year ago, the store near me had a yellow LFA, brand new, but since they were discontinued and is widely considered one of Aa's highest sought after model, it was on sale for $450. Which is absolutely ridiculous.
Glad I provides some information for you too

The ones pictured are:

1/18
AUTOart GT3 RS 4.0, CCX (sold out), LFA (sold out)

1/43
LookSmart R8 GT (#10/30), Peako Zonda F (#07/30), LookSmart Diablo GT (sold out in silver), FrontiArt Agera R (#102/150), Minichamps GT2 RS (#424/500), HPi Racing F1 GTR (sold out in white)

I'd have a hard time parting with any of these, but I'd also be silly to not even consider turning a profit with them. My advice would be to definitely jump at the opportunity if you find a model you really like, because like Howard said, you never know when they'll fall off the radar!

I've been thinking about expanding my 1/43 collection since I've only got 3. I love that GT2RS!

Today I bought a 1/18 Ferrari 458 Spider by Hotwheels from the ferrari store in NYC. I was extremely satisfied with the quality considering it wasn't an elite or super elite.
