Yay! Another Ferrari video. I got that red one. Guess Jeans was for both men & women and it was all the rage during the 80's and 90's. Yeah, I'm that old.
@@Booster_Diecast I got their new 997 RWB just the other day and the roof was bent on one side lmao. The mold itself is great, probably the best 997 in 1/64, compared to Pop Race its way better
@qwerty975 Ah that sucks about the bent roof lol. I'm not a fan of RWB so I don't have any in my collection. I like my porsches to be licensed by porsche 😅
@@qwerty975 Minichamps is probably where you'll want to look for stock Porsches! If you're looking for race cars, check out Tarmac Works or Sparky 1/64.
Nice review! I have the BMW M4 GT3 in two other liveries, including the launch so I'm not sure I'll pick up the Super GT version, but I'm seriously contemplating picking up that BMW GTD/LMDh. I'm waiting on bated breath for the Porsche 963 LMDh!
There is a spare tire in the back, love how Mini GT's attention to detail. It is hard to see becausw of the massive spoiler of the WRC cars. Same goes to Ford Puma Mini GT's
Yeah I bought the Caddy and sadly I had a booster diecast moment and my rear wing is pretty bent, gonna ask for a replacement tomorrow 😢. Car looks amazing though!
Love the rally cars! I've got the Lancia Stratos and Deltas. Need to get these. Like the tread details on the Puma. Can't wait for the Sterrato and Porsche Rallye coming up. Just recently got the #698 LBWK Kenmeri recall,Kaido House NSX in yellow and the San Remo Rally Stratos in the mail. The flag on the windshield banner is so tiny you have to use a magnifying glass to see it. Great review, can't wait for the next one. 👍
Nice comparison. I totally agree with you : "One casting necessarily is not better than the other. It´s just like a little details...". I prefer the crisp tone of the wheels on MIN GT and also the white color of the casting against the cream tone on the Minichamps. But also the splitted wing on Minichamps as well as the details in the wing supports are truly nice. And the end collectors can choose between many brands and it´s good in my opinion
Me too, love rally cars. MiniGT has started with the Lancia Delta Integrale, let's hope they move onto other iconic rally cars like the Celica GT-Four!!
The only times I have damaged 1/43 scale cars was taking them off the bases, two I did for reviews, quite angry with myself. However, those were cases when I surgically directed the cars and discovered how amazing the interiors were. I bought the Rexy Porsche at Sebring from my favorite dealers. They were the first to have it and only brought a dozen to the race and knew that they would sell out their allotment and were only taking online pre orders. The Rexy review has been on my channel for 4 months and has just gotten 1000 views. The most popular of all of my cars. Mine was the TSM IMSA Pro-Am, did you get the Spark?😊
Spark 1/43 model boxes are track themed, ie. Daytona, US. I too started collecting 1/64, Tarmac Works. Then, now 300 1/43 Spark models, only Spark, TSM and Looksmart. You are correct about Andy Blackmore. Cool thing about the Spark model you have us that they only made 500 of them. Tarmac Works are 10,000 per model. Even the best 1/64 will never come close to a Spark 1/43 or even better 1/18. Oh, the livery by Andy Blackmore is called "POP ART". He came up with that in only 3 months including the wrap. As mentioned, I have almost 300 Spark 1/43 scale, only have (2) models with slight defects. Almost every late model Spark are perfect. The air jacks are "pneumatic". If you ever remove the body from the chassis, you will be amazed at the interior detail that would never otherwise see.
@markzebr6463 Thanks for the info! I'm still only sitting at 5 Spark 1/43s in my collection, and I have the 1/43 TSM Rexy on the way. Trying to limit myself to only Huracan GT3s since 1/64 is my main collection. But the detail on 1/43 is hard to resist lol. I want to get some of the Evo2s that Spark and TSM are doing Also I would be too scared to even take these off their wooden plinths, so I'm not sure about taking them about. I'm sure the interior detail is amazing
BMW Hybrid M v8, cadillac #02(dark blue), cadillac #01(gold), acura arx -60 (white, magenta), and acura arx-#10(blue) bought them all pretty happy with the collection every car together looks awesome, ehehe
on the acura, the whole front part is a decal (the minolta logo) you can see the air under it, on the casting lines. it is difficult to see because it is the whole thing. it is unnecessary as well, which makes it worse. the gray parts that you mentioned are also decals
@@cornelstrutu1866 yeah after looking at it closer I did come to the conclusion that the gray parts were decals. Sometimes it is very difficult to tell. I just hope that Mini gt doesn't end up like Sparky 1/64 with all these decals 😩
Thats why i dont buy lots of minit gt. my last minigt was the black gtr r35. kaido house has good production but i stop getting it as its only colour changes and milking all the r33, r34s so its repetitive. I went to get detailed versions like miniDREAM, carlounge(resin), u2, cm model is great too, lcd model is fine, microturbo etc
Yeah man I've noticed all the QC failures with mini GT as well. saddly I've been noticing it with PopRace this year in particular. Ohh and yeah the very first BBR Maserati I got was missing a headlight 😢 feels like the more popular a company gets the more they don't care
Thank you for reviewing these bmws. I am a big fan of the bmw hypercar, but quality control for #709 bmw is absolutely disastrous😅It seems that minigt's factories have lost the abilities to drill the wheel axle into the centroids of the wheels. This made the car jump up and down when pushing it. Or worse the wheels would just get stuck in the wheel arches. This happened on 3 of 4 #709 cars I have opened. Another common issue is redundant glue came out of the headlight covers. Not to mention broken white paint and carbon……
Faulty details about the models: Trans-americas: The rear seat in the real car is single seat (for one person). In the model it is a full width backseat. Camel Trophy: The rear bumper should be black, not chrome /metal. The metal bumper is from the stock car. I camel trophy versions it is black. In addition, that chrome looks so irrelevant and ugly in the design…
I’ve always trusted Mini gt, I don’t think there’s a lot of brands that can match mini gt’s detail to price ratio. Most mini gt’s are only $15… that’s just a steal imo.
@whopey999 The minichamps right? These 911 GT3 RS models usually go for about $30 plus shipping, but you can find small deals for around $25. That's how much I paid for this one
@whopey999 yesh I have a good friend in the UK and he said that those minichamps go from £35-40, crazy! Mini GT is pretty expensive from what I hear as well
I just don’t get why the minichamps is so expensive. The wing is the only upgrade. The wheels are horrible, especially with how amazing the mini gt wheels are. It doesn’t look like it’s anywhere near the quality of other brands in that price tier like Inno64, LCD or tomica limited vintage either and those are even $5-$10 less expensive usually.
You must look closely. The interior on Minichamps more detailed, dashboard more detailed. Rear light more accurate very fine detail whereas Mini GT has much bulkier rear light. Metal spoilers does not come cheap. If you are into 1/64 custom, you would know even if you buy in bulk they are pretty expensive. Don't forget Minichamps comes in a acrylic base and cover. so I think it is justified. The wheel rims..yeah its really too bad. I would custom and try to wheelswap it with Mini GT wheels
@KillerChihuahua387 Have you watched my review of the forest green one with the silver wheels? That one is actually amazing! And I'm also planning on getting the minichamps weissach package variants that have carbon fiber. I think this white/red one is kind of the odd one out of the bunch that just didn't translate well. If the wheels were anodized I think it would be nearly perfect
@valconir1619 I agree with you. There are a lot of little details that go into the Minichamps that are lacking on the Mini GT. But at the same time the wheels are really hard to look past. I think thats my only main problem with the Minichamps. But all the other colors seem much better
just my personal opinion, if a diecast doesn't roll it fails to achieve the first single most important details its trying to replicate of the original The excuse of having non-rolling wheels to maintain the ride height accuracy is too lame, and both from engeneering perspective and artistic perspective it completely fails to make that premium and proper impression
@Ryknex I completely respect your take on that! For me, it doesn't really matter either way, especially on the models that come in the acrylic cases as I usually only take them out for videos akd photos. But then the models that come out more frequently like Mini GT, BBR, Pop Race, etc; it's nice that those roll. I also look at other scales when the rolling thing comes into play, (and I know larger scales are usually resin), but most 1/43 and 1/18 scale models don't roll either, which I feel is perfectly fine
