Could you mail me that brochure please. Or you could upload it here directly.

abhishek_bmw · 12th July 2009, 01:53

Just download and see the them.I also got Bburago Brochure-just I cant find them.Actually,the chineese guy was crying to sell,but I didnt find the market to sell such top class models,so just asured him,I will contact him later

The problem we are facing tight now is shortage of models due to that ban on chinese toys. Hope it gets removed soon.

This is the car i was talking about. Gift Centre is quoting 42,000 INR for it.

EDIT: Upload the Bburago brochure too please. I am really interested in the Abarth 500 by Bburago.

abhishek_bmw · 12th July 2009, 12:40

Actually,the ban has been removed,knowing that I made contact with the person.

This is good news. As I met the Gift Centre fellow yesterday and he said that none of the shipments were coming in.

Try keeping ypur camera at a distance of 2.5 to 3 feet from the car, which gives a good result.

And further here i post pictures of 1950 Porchse 356 (1:18 Signature model)

This is because,people like me,who want to import them,are,actually rejected by retail person(s),for the reason,they are stating these high end pieces have very little end market crunch,they simply does not want to dump it.Their conversation statement goes like this"Oh! sir,Those Chineese Resin models?Sorry,None will buy them".I think you got your answer.
These cars has exploited the European market very well.But,as far as I know,I was the first person to contact to the company from India,directly and legally.So,that is why,you can see the end price is 42K,it should be 32-34K range if imported legally directly.Correct me if I am wrong.
Regarding Bburago catalogue,sorry,I can post it here,as it they holds copyright for that(they sells for customer)-it will be copyright violation.

You can email me to know more.

Ahhh!! I see!!! Very Interesting!!
Could you email the Bburago manual to me? I dont think that will be included as copyright infringement as it is regarded as a personal transfer.
