Evening everyone.Just been having a look on ebay at the little bike models.Thought these would be good to collect and sell in a few years.
Does anyone collect these.What would be a good size? I quite like the 1:12.
Pics would be Cool to.

Thanks

I've got a few of them. The quality/detail of them compared to other models is absolutely stunning. Apart from the obvious expense the only drawback is that the new models are always delayed. I have some in work on my desk and some at home and they always gets lots of comments.

Can't see them being worth any money in time but I collect them purely for aesthetic reasons.

Quick picture from my phone...

If you want to keep them to sell in the future make sure you keep the box and everything Thumbs Up I collect the cars or used to anyway, gets a bit expensive Laughing

Are you sure the 1098 is a Minichamps model? IIRC I'm almost certain they don't do a 1098 yet. Good choice on the Rossi model... Cool

Yeah, i've got loads.

Don't really collect them anymore though. Have lots of 996/998's and a few moto gp bikes, and Rossi's 250cc bike(Limited run, forget how many). You've given me the idea to get somemore now. Laughing

Just pre-ordered the Rossi Arbarth M1 from Phillip Island last year. Cool
