Post Would you buy a high quality 1:18 scale 924/944/951/968?

If so, how much would you be willing to pay, assuming it's high quality? ( I mean Exoto/Motorbox 959 or AutoArt 996TT quality.)

Please post one reply, with a yes or no, a preference(s) and a price range.

I am trying to get this in motion, and I need a basic figure as to how many people want this, just on rennlist. I'm thinking of something along the lines of at least 100 people pre-ordering a model, and around $75 each. That should be enough to entice Gate(AutoArt) or Exoto or MiniChamps to manufacture the model.

Please try to keep it to one reply, so I can more easily keep track of the amount of supporters. And post if you'd be willing to pre-order/pre pay.

I really want a big 1:18 Guards Red 951 with a nice working suspension and such, sitting atop my computer. Do you?

EDIT: I've begun email contact with Gateway/AutoArt and Exoto/Motorbox. Minichamps is next... I'm hoping we can really overwhem them with a demand base. Details of which models/colours/prices to offer will be based primarily upon THIS thread, so feel free to edit your message!

I would buy a black S2 (or 951 I guess it would look the same) and $75 isn't a bad price at all.

Make mine a black/black 951 with any wheels but phone dials. Cool idea.

I'm in for a Turbo. I would want a Stone Grey Metallic one, but I suppose I could repaint whatever it comes out to be! <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />

I certainly have no problem going $75 (or higher if the quality is AutoArt/Motorbox/Exoto caliber!) and a nice 944 Turbo would be great.

I'm thinking Guards Red (the classic 944 colour) or silver (the classic German racing colour!). Wheels should be phone dials but the Design 90 would suffice as well. See if they'll put out a racing version with authentic late-80's Turbo Cup graphics! I have pics!!!

Now that I think about it, a white N/A 944 with white Fuch's would be even better!

I'd prepay as well, and I'm sure you'd get a lot of orders from the gang at 968.net if you crossposted.

I'd pay also, probably higher if in silver 951/S2 form

I am afraid what the MOQ on this will be. Might need ALOT more than 100 firm commits @ $75 unless the price goes way up.

Cheers

Yes, for a Guards Red 951, would pay $75.
