This what I'm talking about...

After my previous post about the 1/43 scale Reventon, I was unsettled and keen to seek the 1/18 version of the super car. As usual, I tried my luck from the most popular buying and selling site in the world, ebay. Well as I thought, you can find nearly anything there including what I'm looking for, the 1/18 scale Lamborghini Reventon. There are few sellers in ebay selling it. From I see, there are two version of the 1/18 Reventon.

Our first choice: The cheaper good quality version Reventon, ranging from US$30 to US$50 made from Bburago...

...or another choice, which I personally prefer, the higher quality finished version, from MR collection, with pricetag starting from US$500 and comes with special packaging box as you can see below.

I did try my my luck and make an offer of US$150 to the sellers, but then...the seller did replied to my offer and...yea right...what do you expect :P like I am gonna be that lucky.

So I guess I am gonna to think about it again after Hari Raya.

The Lamborghini Reventon is a mid-engined sport car that debuted at the
2007 Frankfurt Auto Show.

It is currently the most powerful and expensive Lamborghini road car to date costing
around 1 million euros.

Handmade & limited to 100pcs only

I was shown this latest and very rare 1/43 Lamborghini Reventon yesterday from a friend. Well he's selling it for BND$399 actually. Wow! For me, its not worth the size. It is rare definetly and comes with a certificate like card saying that it is handmade and only 100 pieces avaiable worldwide. The model was kept in an exclusive made box as shown below. But then, if its on the 1/18 scale, I might think about adding it to my latest model collection.

Realistis, detailed and well crafted. Well painted and very collectable.

The exclusive black box and the display container comes with this model.
