Yentl Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Hey i came across the first part of the mustang and me as a huge mustang guy really want it but i'm 16 it will cost 1000 and i have to wait 2 long years till complete? Is it really worth it?
LDO Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Heck no. If you can write a check for it and never notice that the money is gone, then hey go for it. If that's expensive for you, then don't do it. There are so many other good ways to spend $1000+
Yentl Posted August 9, 2014 Author Posted August 9, 2014 That's my idea i love mustang and i have a nice diecast collection but 1 grand is just to much i'd rather save it and maybe can buy my first car with that money...
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 ... and me as a huge mustang guy... Well, it is a huge Mustang, so that's a match. Cool kit. I didn't know it existed.
cobraman Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 I don't like the whole idea of buying a kit piece meal. Is it possible something could happen and they company will not be able to supply you the parts you need to finish it ? I myself would not do it.
Yentl Posted August 9, 2014 Author Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) true i could buy 10 1:18 gt500 from autoart who are masterpieces instead (not going to lol ) maybe later over 2 years someone sells it on ebay for half the price then maybe ... and i'm not sure how the pieces would fit together and have a bad quality car Edited August 9, 2014 by Yentl
Cien1986 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) I love the car but i don't like how they sell it.... they feed you piece by piece and will make you starving for 2 years.... two possibilities... first... survive building this masterpiece over 2 years with starving mode and spent over 1000 bucks... and one thing you must really consider is the fitting of this kit since this thing is pre painted and if it not fit well it will make you suffer..... two... you will die on process... and make all the part become junk if you already partial assemble it.... it will worth more than the money you spent... if you have complete the collection in mint condition..... i see it on ebay the same kind with yours but f1 kit... sale for more than 2.000 uss... i rather not doing this..... but this is personal.... sure this things is extremely rare.....

Yentl Posted August 9, 2014 Author Posted August 9, 2014 But the ting is i started collecting at around 7 years old with hotwheels i grew and started collecting 1:18 but now i'm 16 i don't have the need annymore for collecting diecast and models so i decided to focus on rare / special cars , so i saw someone who posted this one before but it was not so interested till i came across one and immediatly bought it (just 1 euro ) then i did some research and found out this piece would cost between 1000 and 2000 then i started to doubt if i really want to give that much of money on a car i have noting to . And when it is complete i'm 18 and maybe not in to these tings ... it kills me knowing that i can have such a beauty but i think i'll pass :/
heinz74 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Yentl.. is this thing available in Belgium?..the magazine and the kit? i don't mind building this in 2 years..if it's a 1000 euro kit in 2 years its doable.. i visit Antwerp often (25 minute drive) ik ben van net buiten Essen weet u? i would really like a big scale '67 GT500.. and i also have both 1/18 Autoart '67 GT500's the red AND the bleu ones...das wa anders hee 1/8 would really be something...if done nicely..
Mike Kucaba Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Hmmm... I thought that the idea behind this subscription buying was to alleviate the pain of the high cost at one time, and that the parts were already made,cast,whatever. This is risky if a principal in the mix suddenly checks out.
Yentl Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 @ heiz i got this model in france (onderweg naar parijs tegengekomen) but you can order the collection on altaya.fr. When you order from the first magazine you get a hat of shelpy(pet) and a display case for your shelby. You can also pay 1 euro per magazine extra so you have 2 1:18 diecast during the 2 years a shelby cobra in magazine 11 and a gt350R #70 in 19. The feaures of the car are engine sounds and horn ( geluid van de motor en klaxon) Opening windows doors trunk and hood, working lights , turning wheels ... http://www.altaya.fr/coleccionable/montez-votre-ford-mustang.html
kingstrider Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 I'm a huge Mustang fan but no thanks, for 1k I can buy parts for my real 2014 GT.
