I got the other 7 today. Ben showed them in his showroom so I won't show the pics here.

Plus:
Red, pretty nice shade and quality.
Ferrari castings
cheap

Con:
large, Maisto All-Stars size
so-so casting design
Not a Kyosho

These cars are the sweet spot for the collector who wants some Ferrari cars but can't afford the Kyosho castings. Having the same cars from Kyosho sitting on my shelves I am a bit jaded in my impressions.


edit: found some of the rims be different after looking closer

I think you are spot on with your assessment. Since Ferrari's are the main focus of my collection, as long as new stuff keeps coming out, I'll be buying it, but for casual Ferrari collectors, if you can get them easily and cheaply enough go for it, but don't go out of your way. The F12 and 599 GTO are the best of the group, and I'm actually really impressed by them. The F40 GTE is easily the worst of the group and grossly misproportioned, and the others are decent enough but still on the cheaper end quality wise. I'm still looking forward to what else they can come up with though, if this deal ends up being a financial success for them, maybe it means we can get some cars that haven't been done before.

And please do post pictures when you are able. Not everyone looks at my thread, and it will eventually be buried so having them here will be a good reference!

And the worst for last F40 Competitizone Posted Image

As Ben mentioned, the worse of the bunch. Not sure how this one was approved after looking at the others.

The F12 looks ok but the other just look atrocious. Also what really bothers me are the wheel offsets. I'll just stay away..
