I was at TRU again.
Bought the NSX and Lancer.
Checked out the R8 after reading a thread over at HWC's forum and realized it's a plastic casting!!
RM14.90 for 100% plastic???

Are you sure it is 100% plastic? You held one in your hands? I find this very unlikely.

There was a thread on HWC Message Board which prompted me to check my own R8.
Apparently I never realized mine's plastic until now...
affraidaffraid

I did not open it of course since I did not buy it. Hehe~
But based on it's weight by comparing with the Reventon... scratchscratch
I had a thorough look at the surface finish too and find it to be very plasticky...

I hope I am wrong so any one out there who can verify this please do so thanks.

Here is the thread which prompted to check my own R8.
Perhaps you guys should check if your R8 is plastic too...

Anyway, back to topic.
I am quite convinced that the R8 I saw at TRU was plastic.
Hopefully, there will be metal variants too and hopefully they will phase out the plastic ones...

Thanks for the link.

But I just found a one-liner from somebody who mentioned - " ... and plastic body cars like the audi r8, i love the real car but, plastic body on an r8??? c'mon guys, what were you thinking"

Is there anything else that I missed?

I've checked my FE's and indeed that I find that the R8 body is plastic and the base is diecast. Never played with them before, straight from card to zip bag. So maybe, this is the same with the Speed Machines version.

Yup...FE R8 has plastic body and metal base. I wanted to custom it...but notice I can't rid off the black on body cos it's platic - it'll melt if you tried removing color even with slightest 'thinner/spirit' etc....

I'm just thinking is Mattel engineers trying a different approach, but then again they'll have to fill in color, and straight into mold...when they plan produce the R8 each time....? Like this time come out in white, last was black...

*wonder if Deadly Rush can help us understand this Smile...

I just got the porsche from MV. There are only 2 cars there. Porsche and the 599. But the porsche is probably the only car i'm interested in in this range.

I already got a Cadillac LMP. Its pretty. I think the rest of the cars are rip offs compared to Ferraris Racer series. I definitely would not get the other cars simply because the regular ones are good enough. So i have a Porsche GT1 & Caddy LMP. See what comes up later.

Cham2020, well i saw California and 599. There is nothing interesting there. If the cars were packaged in Racer backing, wouldn't it be Racer series? Erk!!!

C6R reputation..... cmon!!!!! You guys were getting every piece of it everywhere like it was DD! I saw many scales of that Compuware themed car since few years ago. Sure it looks ok. But i'm sure the carrying reputation is from the blue 09 mainline car. The Dodge SRT10 is also an actual track decalled race car. How come no one got that? Still see a few in TRU just this Sunday.

i am saying only about the C6R because it's the most detailed cars in terms of exterior so i say it's worth paying...............

some cars are worth paying
some cars are not

Well you are probably right. But then again so many cars in the range and only few is worth buying. So this range is is going to be a year only in Malaysia la i guess? Cannot sell, won't sell anymore. Good news to resellers. Limited range baby!

When they first premiered it as a mainline, the body was metal. Now if they cast this as plastic body, that would hint the car is going to appear in some track set i guess.

Apparently the Yellow C6R is the one which is slightly limited in production numbers. This it because it was expensive to make due to all the tampos.

Anyway.. I find em a little expensive to get here. In the US, these are sold for US$1.83 - US$2.25 depending on retailer..

It's great they are sold here though..
