| @amit V8:Thanks.Actually,only the 340tb in the upper left-hand corner is a Bburago.All the others are Hotwheels including the yellow 308 GTB Quattrovalvole,which is a joint product from Hotwheels and Kyosho.The 1:43 FXX in the middle of the lower half is from an Italian company called LookSmart(funny name,that). @Cyrus43:Thanks man!And no,I'm not Vincent. @RPMPKDMFF,AltoHoncho and agspins:Thanks guys!Almost all the models are in 1:18 scale except the 1:12 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish(from 'Die Another Day'),1:24 Rolls Royce Corniche IV,1:43 Rolls Royce 100EX,1:43 Rolls Royce Silver Seraph and 1:24 Lincoln X-100 Presidential Limo(JFK's parade car) in the first picture and the 1:43 Ferrari FXX in the second.I know they're not very clearly visible.Better pictures will come in a couple months. As far as makes go,you'll find a bit of everything.Right from AutoArt,Maisto,a few Bburagos,Kyosho,UT Models,Franklin Mint,Hotwheels,Signature,Yatming,Jada Toys and many more.Most of them came from good-old Gift Centre. Also,what you see in these pictures is little more than half the collection.I just got some Minichamps,too. Last edited by Jaggu : 10th February 2010 at 20:38.

| BANNED | Nope. The UT's I cleaned out, and there is not a single Jada with him. Which Minichamps did you get? |

| @Cyrus43:My UTs, I've had for quite a while.That includes 2 McLaren F1 LMs(both in Gulf livery).My Jadas(I've got just 3-4) are from Dubai.As for the Minichamps,I got the Bentley Continental GT and an Azure,both identical to the ones in your picture of the stock at Gift Centre,and also a Bentley State Limousine,the Queen's bespoke ride.I would have loved the new Mercs and the Morris Minor Cabriolet but the Bentleys,I got last month have dried up my funds:-( |

| BANNED | The Minor is already gone. Got Sold out the First day I believe. The Mercs are good, but somehow even though I wanted the GL first, now I dont. |

| 1:48 Rolls Royce Phantom V - Dinky #198 One of my latest acquisitions. A 1:48 Rolls Royce Phantom V manufactured by Dinky Toys/Meccano. This was the first Dinky to feature opening windows... it also features independent four wheel suspension with rubber tires and also a driver. This model was released in 1962, it is a pre-owned vehicle. |

| BHPian |  1:18 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 (TL Models) 1:18 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 (TL Models) Got this Merc from my friend. This car was gathering dust for the last 4-5 years or so at his place. Seeing my interest in scale models, he decided to give this car to me. Some pics:     |
