just got my 1/18 Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari F50 in the mail, they only made 5000 so it's pretty rare

paid a pretty penny too


My California is 1 of 10000. The Elite ones aren't cheap.


Yeah they're not. they did the F50 run in 2006 so they've only gone up in price since then

heres just a few of my collection

Mini Cooper. No idea what scale this is, thats a normal 52mm lens hood and a 1/18 car behind it. It's all the way from Germany, don't remember what I paid for it

1/18 Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari F50. 1/5000, no exact build number on the outside of the box though. Paid well over $150, value has been going up substantially the last few years though

1/18 Hot Wheels Ferrari F40 60th Anniversary. Not a very expensive model, I think I only paid $35 or so

1/18 Hot Wheels Ferrari Enzo. No idea what this is worth, I've seen them go for anywhere from $44 to $75. I think I paid around $50 though

Ah, you leave yours in the box. I don't do that, even though I probably should.

my 458 model's faults:

1: exhaust pipes are different sizes
2: doors feel super cheap
3: interior sucks
4: not detailed at all
5: taillights suck

My only Maisto is a red Carrera GT that I got from Costco because it was like $7 LOL

As soon as I took it out of the box, the passenger door fell off -___- hahaha

I've never had that issue, but the price is why I have so many of them. I hate Jada. They make awful models.

I keep the box separately just in case I sell it or if I need to bike them to my friends house

I did a little editing on this to make it look like the taillights are lit and the turn signal is on

I've noticed that the ZR1 I have is sginificantly bigger than my Maisto C6. I mean in every way, shape, and form. The wheels don't turn either.

Signature models and Kyosho seem to give you the most bang for your buck from what I've seen.
