Here are pictures of the W220 S Class I bought. Finishing from Maito is average on this one but at 900 bucks couldnt ask for more.

Looks Neat. Is the Back Wheel on the Left Side Damaged? Take extreme care of the Mercedes Logo on the Bonnet! They tend to break really quickly.

Wow, Dipps lovely merc. Do they have any more left at the mall ? I'm going that side day after, will pick it up.

I have the bling bling S55 AMG. Your Merc looks classier anyday.

Guys, this is the latest addition to my collection.
1:18 Merc S55 AMG ... by Maisto (Playerz)

Dippy · 22nd January 2009, 19:16

@Cyrus: Nope the wheel is just fine

@salilpawar: Your Merc looks nice but I'm not a fan of the Bling Bling cars. I like to collect only stock cars. That's why I stay away from the Playerz editions.

@Superselect: Yes they still have a couple of S Classes and a few Murcis at low prices. The CGT is for 1195/- MRP around 1500/-

As I mentioned in my earlier post, since I have most of the Ferraris now (more than 25 in my 1:18 collection are Ferraris), I am now concentrating on collecting Mercedes Benz cars in 1:18. Dont have too many at the moment

W220 S Class Maisto
R230 SL500 Maisto
R230 SL55 AMG F1 Safety car Maisto
CLK LM Maisto
CLK DTM Maisto
CL500 Lorinser Autoart

Rs.1800/- A bit overpriced. It must be much cheaper now if you manage to find one.

Cyrus43 · 23rd January 2009, 00:37

Nope. Its Still the Same Price. Also Lifestyle still has two CLS Playerz and an SL500. And its been there since AGES!!
