Default 1:18 xy gtho

Looking for a XY GT HO diecast model.

Not green, blue, red. Would prefer wild violet or a yellow.

No rush and not looking at $300+ like the dreamers on ebay. Cash ready to go.

I am sure they were $300 when new, so good luck in finding one now for less than that!

Not sure if to your liking, but others available on that site as pre-order

If going for a $300+ price tag, I've bought off this mob before:

Talk about limiting your options!

I don't think you understand, these are not toys but collectables when you look at Biante, Auto Art and Classic Collectables in 1:18! Unless they are stolen and/ or missing box and certificates, then you will be hard pressed to get any less than the purchase price. Wild Violet and Yellow Ochre would have to be one of the rarest after the Track Red and Twin Mirror White.

If your happy to have something that does not look as good or in correct proportions, then there are a few Chinese knock offs, but mainly not 1:18 for a reason!

This broken one is a bargain

This one is re-boxed or exdisplay and missing straps to hold the bonnet and boot lid

Sorry to bust your bubbles lads but I already have 15+ 1:18's and about 60+ 1:43's..I know the values and how it works...and how you never buy them new and wait a few months and then you buy a BF GT on ebay for $150...or a XW GT for $120 when someone needs to sell.

So yeah, ill find a XY sub $300 and I was just seeing her if someone had some excess they might want to let go.

And I want those colours because I already have GT's in others and dont want to repeat.

The bloke with the damaged one is dreaming and I have put in offers for the other one but sub $300, will see what happens.

Seems the owners or the models are as delusional as most of the real thing.

Found a yellow orche, $225 inc delivery. Thread can be closed.

There are some diecast owners out there thinking the model they have has been forged from a genuine P3 bumper..

I was about to post one I found for $175 in Tas.

Does look like some owners are dreamers out there just like some selling 1:1 scale cars

The XB I am not sure, I have 2 red and 1 white GT's in other makes already. Now with the yellow XY I think I will have to wait until Biante releases another colour.

The GTF, im thinking the gold or orange. They are out there on ebay (I dont mind the APEX models), but I need to be weary of the purchase rate for the sake of my marriage.
