Hi, I am new to diecast collecting. Is Mortormax a good brand to go with? Does it worth paying $80 for a 1:12 scale?

How is Motormax compare to Maisto?

Please advise

Thanks!

Leon

What do you mean "a good brand to go with"? If they make models that you like looking at, then it's a good brand. If you're looking to make money, you're probably in the wrong hobby. This is about having fun, so buy whatever you enjoy, as long as it's at a price you're comfortable paying.
As for the $80.00 1/12 scale, we need more details than that. Heck, I was looking at a beatiful 1/12 Shelby last night, and that one costs $500.00.

Motor Max and Maisto are both most famous for their small-scale toys, in several colors, with nice-looking metal bodies but often awful wheels and sometimes without interiors.

They're fun to collect and play with, I have several of these, as well as the planes.

If you are new to diecast collecting, 1/12 scale is a large scale to start collecting. Buy what makes you happy.

Happy collecting!............STUTZ :wave:

Leon...IMHO Maisto and Motormax make some very nice value oriented low to moderate range 1/18 scale replicas...but they mostly retail in the $10 - $15 range. The Ertl Authenics are pretty nice and they cost a little more. IMHO the Highway 61 diecast replicas are a great value with a huge tooling inventory for around $60. Autoart, GMP, CMC...they all make some higher end 1/18 replicas for $60 + ....and even Hot Wheels Elite make some nice Ferraris for a couple of hundred buckos...

Miasto 1:18 scales are an awesome value. Often at least half as good as a higher end model for much less than half the price.
