Review: $1000 CMC Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman (W100)  

You can buy this Mercedes model on eBay: ebay.us/Bm3wtb

This is a very historic automobile. Very exciting!

About 15 years ago, when Autoart first released their 600 Pullman, you could buy it for like 150 EUR. Those were awesome times

You missed a feature. In the trunk, there is a small trunk you will see the spare wheel there.

Dude, at 19:36 you were asking what those glass flaps behind rear windows were and I realized you did not know much (anything?) about this car (as a real car) - you probably should have done a little homework before bothering to review it. Yes, CMC models can be impressive at first sight, but they are hit or miss. I personally own about 12, and with at least two, I had to return and exchange them FOUR times before I got an exemplar that I was satisfied with. In fact, out of 12, I think only twice I kept the models I received the first time around! If you were to ever consider another CMC model, my suggestion would be not to bother with unboxing video, but to inspect it properly before deciding if to keep it or exchange it. Another problem that tend to afflict CMC models is - their parts fall off - not right away, but several months later, as the glue dries out and those "noble" materials they use - for example metal for window surround, those parts retain their "springness" property and can snap off suddenly on its own!. I love CMC when they are expertly made - which in my experience is about one-in-four, with inconsistent quality dependent on who assembled it. There is a perfect model, but the next one from the same batch, assembled by another person will be a shoddy botched one! So trying to buy a CMC model is like buying a lottery ticket - you may win or you may loose, never know. This model looks good but with so many parts to brake, and such a price, it will be in stores for awhile - no rush to purchase it as it will not get sold out for years. Glad that yours in (largely) problem-free. Cheers!

You have video proof of the rear door breaking, you can send it to them and get a replacement. These things shouldnt break if you pay $1000 for it

You have the best and most comprehensive 1:18th scale website in the world. And you explain the details in simple form with a selection that is universal. So, wear your badge proud "KING OF DIECAST" you've earned it. More importantly, ignore all the negative comments and keep producing your excellent videos.

Nice work as always Marek!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL THING!..CONGRATULATIONS!. GREAT BUY!..

Now you have it too! Congratulations. I already presented mine on my channel. :) It's still a great part! Best wishes!

Love your humour! Great review as always :)

I wish CMC goes much deeper with luxury sedans and limos. Worth every penny. Mine arrived 4-5 months ago.

Thank you for this video!!! This is nice!!

19:36 Those tiny Windows on the back doors on the model are on the real life versions they are used to stop the wind messing up the hair of the rear seat passengers when the window is fully down and the car is driving

Excuisit, the perfect model you have there, congrats!

Fantastic !! I have no words !

Those little hinged windows attached to the rear edge of the rear door window are adjustable wind deflectors, ie you could roll down the rear window even at speed and those hinged glass panels will deflect any strong breezes out of the cabin so as not to muss one’s hair up!

The small side windows inside the door is when the window are down you’re hair won’t get messy by the wind, it’s a real feature on all real Mercedes 600

From indonesia....just wanna say “woow” 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very nice. The Mercedes star ornament is also very oversized on the real 600. Beautiful model.

Hey Marek - very nice, thank you! It looks like this hinge was installed under some angle to begin with - I'd definitely touch base with manufacturer. I hope you did! Good luck and enjoy!

And you should check the menu before you check out the model. There should be a lock mechanism some where you have to press to open the trunk.

Absolutely Wonderful Car.

I have ever seen so mane detail on one model im very imprest CONGRATULACIONS 😄😄😄

Don't be so hard on yourself! You did nothing incorrect opening that trunk. Nothing to press or anything. It appears something wasn't right with it from the factory. The trunk on my CMC Pullman opens smooth and never had an issue. I hope you returned this for a replacement. I bought the "Elvis" version simply because IMO Its the best color combo of all versions issued and it has the working sunroof. I have no fondness for Elvis, just the model

its sooo cooool

Wawww. . I have the same but Sun Star. .. the CMC is a luxury. .. I did not a review in my channel yet.. but I will.. Nice video and Good job my friend

you finally got a cmc damn you king of diecast i need one now expensive but worth it they'll always command big bucks how did you comtain yourself without going ballistic when the trunk hinge broke i would send it back tell them it was defective

I feel sorry for you. That sound really hurts. Hope you have been able to fix it

Buy the Fiat Bartorelli by CMC . Its something extraordinary .

I honestly don't see how this can be 10/10. The hinge broke when you tried to open the trunk.. There were 2 loose screws in the box when you opened it. They could've bounced around during shipping, scratching the paint! I know CMC models are impressive (I own 4 myself), especially for someone getting their first.. But with these things in mind, this particular example you received, wouldn't be a 10/10 in my opinion. Thanks for showing though and being honest with the hinge breaking! Many people would've just scrapped the whole video when that happened.

Formidable Car !!!!!!!

what about dark blue limos?

there are more companies that do these insane scale models, more that i could imagine

We wanted also too view the: working sunroof, the tool Box in the trunk, the fold down armrest, the screw on flagpoles in the front maybe attach a flag. And how the seats work etc:) A view of the undercarriage and exhaust system etc. Are the window made of cloth material yes and can they adjust?

Beautiful model, and great review! Sorry yours arrived faulty, I would have definitely asked for a replacement or repairs... I got the landaulet version. Have you experienced the Bauer Bugatti Royale? IMHO, these two are the pinnacle of scale model cars, im glad to have both!

you are an insane crazy man. 1000 dollars my god

Great review and I think the tiny window is to block the wind when the window is rolled down. Did you solve the trunk hinge issue? The only flaw I can see and this is just me, is the scale of the leather. The scale of the markings seems out of scale to the size. It looks like it would be better on a 1:12 scale vehicle.

Wow beautiful 😍😍 But you get always models with mistakes😞 Very nice review😊 Where are you from?

Congrats for your achivement! It's a big deal! As a comment, but not malitious, for example, Autoart Signature it's full of detailes ,wires, pipes ..shock absorbers, springs, they have removable wheels and hoods, and it have also a brochure, it is made also from hundreds of pieces hand asembled, and it have also serial numbers and certificate, and so on, for half of that price,and is not a toy! You are the king of diecast! you should know more! For example one of the CMC features is the opening fuel cap. Your model must have it, as well.

Are those screws in the box are the extra screws for the wheels

The car is an absolute work of art but realistically I can get 4 Kyoshos or Autoarts for that price. The interior features are amazing but the Phantom VII is similar for 1/4-1/3 of the price. Exterior-wise it looks like a stretched version of my $100 Norev 280 SE. Maybe one day I'll get it but not anytime soon. Congrats though.

The cmc door opening tool, they literally just got the tip of a nerf gun bullet and glued it to a weird key chain

Those vents on the rear windows are to prevent people being in a draft when the window is opened. Very posh indeed.

We know you love gas tank doors that open...so did you discover that the cover opens on this model? Just to right of license plate. Enjoy!

I hope your millions subscribers

Hi external star what about the almost real bentley Mulsanne grand limousine black it is realased and I think you would like it very much because I am getting one

WoW! So you rated the model 10/10 all the way down! That's got to be a first, as there is always something not right however small. So $1000 well spent then, no disappointments in any areas of the Pullman. 👍 Cool, I'm glad to type this, well done CMC for attention to detail.

Where do you get the suction cup door opener?

That is a shame the trunk hinge broke the first time you tried to open it! That should not happen on a $100 model let alone on a $1,000 one. I would definitely return it for a replacement. I wonder how this one compares to the 600 Pullman released by AutoArt back in the early part of the 2000's. They now sell for similar money.

Will you still buy the kengfai version of pullman?

I would want it if it was a short wheel base. Front MB emblem is too large.

Not really. There ws a truck accident and many units, 90% stock of M200 ws destroyed in the fire. Hence very few shops got stock in Dec.

Shame you forced the boot open! If something doesn't want to open easily there is often a reason! Good warning for us all!

Kenfai now makes this same Mercedes model for about $350. Is it worth it?

The reason for that front license plate “0” is narrow smaller than other numbers is because they want to distinguish from letter “O”.

It's really cool classic limousine I wouldn't pay no 1,000 for it. Becareful next time when opening the tuck

You need a 1/18 Pablo Escobar figure by ScalesFigures to complete that scene! Sweet review dude!

Keine lust!!

Did you find out what you did wrong that you broke the model, or it is the factory defect. Please let me know, and I will make sure not to break it when I received mine

I dont like the subject much but they are fantastic models.

PERFEKT 100%

The small window is a wind deflector when you have the main window rolled down so the wind doesn't mess up your hair.🙄

Thirty four minutes to take a model out of a box !!!! Thankfully I can slide my finger along to the last one minute .

My ist in outside in goldmetallic, and inside in congnacbrown

who's better? this model or autoart?

I am the same like you jusy want to collect state cars or limos, and hopefully if you happened to be in Manila the Philippines want to visit my collection please say so. Coz I’d loved to show them to you.

13:26 😂😂

I was this car

I've seen only two videos of you and I don't know whether to think that you have bad luck with scale models. In the 2 videos you had problems, the other one was the one who fell a wheel like that by itself without you even touching it. Both models are expensive and supposedly high-end. I would like to know if you made the pertinent claims and where it all ended.

what if $1,000,000 diecast exist? BBR cost RP7,000,000

Aa old W100 is better and better. A good model doen't mean must have more details. I still vote Aa W100 for sure.

Lol you said ' this big box' I was wtf you recieved so small box for such big modelcar ? I wouldn't be happy with that small amount of protection for the transport. thats the protection I would put just to carry it around in the streets.

1000$ 900$ of which went into assembly labor. cool tho

I have buyed this model. It IS very nice and so phatastic

i don't understand how can you idolize a model with wrong headlight, wrong steering wheel, wrong proportions, wrong shape because it's cmc and it cost 1000$, do you ever saw in real life pullman ?

HURTS

Only 2 minutes and he jumps to the unboxing. This is how others should do an unboxing video instead of talking nonstop for half the length of the video. I learned something from this model, customers had an option of whether to get the middle row seats as front facing foldaways or permanently fixed rear facing seats so passengers could hold meetings while the limo was moving. 19:00 - A quick explanation: the tilting panel behind the window is a noise deflector. This allowed the passengers to roll the windows down halfway and they tilted the panel so wind didn't blow into the cabin. It makes it easier for them to hear each other talk.

You say autoart w100 is a toy???? You need to get more experience boy

I could have taken that car out of the box in less than a minute . I’m bored now so switching off .

Yeah you ruined the car already there!

I don't interested in that kind of car I like only Lamborghini

Chinese hinge, not a German hinge 🙄

Everytime you start opening a box of a model Im scared AF, so stressfull, Its like you want it to be broke to get the views LOl (Im kidding) And don't worry : We all love destroying things ! i think you forced it a bit, its the fault to about quality control, thats what CMC has become, its more about money now than the love for modelcars they showing. The reason I have a bunch of older CMC's and don't want to aquire the newer ones. The big previous boss of CMC was a nice modelcar lover, now ITS DEAD and sad

Im sure why cmc produced such a boring model, autoart is not a toy compared to the one you are reviewing, auto art are great models

Such a #FrustratingVideo!!!

ripoff

Nice car but I think you should work on your English a little bit more? LOL. Take pronunciation classes.
