Amalgam extends its 1:18 series of replica cars with this stunning Jaguar E-Type Roadster. Completed in resin with sealed-body design, the price is excessive at $740 US for a static piece. That is north of $1000 CND. If interested, the team is accepting deposits on pre-orders now. Oh, and the deposit on pre-order is the full $740.
Product# TBD
Amalgam must be on crack or something. I’d rather pay half that for the AutoArt.
LOL, we were thinking the same! And it opens too!
Amalgam just target the elite with their over the top prices, I mean, who can pay more than 10K for a 1/8 model, and now they think they can compete in the 1/18 market? Not with those prices!
Agreed with above comments- but at LEAST you get the correct chromed 72 spoke wire wheels. I tried removing my AutoArt wheels (white conv.) to send them out for chroming – but they (wheels) don’t separate from hubs in one complete piece – so nixed that idea.
Great looking and very accurate model, BUT… with a Very stupid price. The only two things better about this than the AutoArt model are the wheels and tires, which unfortunately AA got wrong. Amalgam is also Not limiting these and will to try to sell as many as they can make, nothing exclusive here. I’ll spend a lot on a model if it is great and exclusive, but this one is not exclusive, and the final kicker is requiring the full price as a “deposit” to pre-order. That is idiotic.
