I can't believe how much the price of die-cast models has gone up over the past few years! Obviously the detail and quality of these models now is brilliant and they have come a long way since Onyx started with the F1 and Le Mans cars.
But we are paying the same price now for a 1:43 scale car, as we were paying for a 1:24 scale car a few years ago? In comparison the price of 1:43 scale kits has not gone up so much, but the quality has. I suppose the difference between the two is the man hours for someone to build a car at a factory has gone up too. |

1/43rd is now a rip off. I've swithed to 1/18th scale.
Just bought the Minichamps Porsche 956 Kenwood for £47.99. Next up is the BMW M3 GTR and more expensive Sauber Mercedes C9 and Porsche 935. |

I can afford the occasional 1/43rd model at £25-£35, but the Exotos are now retailing for £200+. Plus I've focused my collection to just Group C/IMSA GTP and LMP1/2 Coupes. |

The CLK-GTR and CLK-LM were both done in 1:18 by Maisto. There's even some 1:12 versions out there.
