Motor Max are now making a New SLK55 AMG 1:18 scale model but i think it is only available in the US at the moment. As far as i know this is the only company making an SLK55 version. It is available in Black & Silver.

Have to get one of those. I can paint the interior black I guess. The wheels aren't quite right, but they're closer than the multispokes would be.

I found a Dutch website selling it, but only the black one, not silver. Apart from that, just one US website, which claims it is due in October.

Have you got one already? If so, where from?

aquascape, thanks for the info. I've been waiting.

I checked all the diecast dealers (on the internet) in US and could only find (so far as this is a new item for MotorMax):

1. Exoticar - http://www.exoticar.com/pages/search_products_2.cfm $29.95 + $8.95 shipping - SILVER ONLY

2. Diecastmuscle - http://www.diecastmuscle.com/store/Search?searchQuery=73162&x=13&y=10 $20 + $8.50 shipping, but PREORDER - due in Oct, Black or Silver is orderable

I ordered from Diecastmuscle as I wanted black. I'll post back when it comes in.

P.S. The pic on the MotorMax site (http://www.motormaxtoys.com, look under New Releases second page, it's NOT in the product catalog yet) does look like the US AMG wheels, but not the pic on Exoticar. DiecastMuscle did NOT have a pic, yet.

That's a pic of a _REAL_ SLK 55. The actual scale toy has the 5-spoke rims, as you can see here:

http://www.exoticar.com/pages/search_products_2.cfm (click on the 2nd item)

It's item # 73162, which I've had on back-order from Exoticar since June 4th. So don't hold your breath. [V]

Cool, I want!

Too bad for the rims tho'. You can always change them if you buy an SL 55 that comes with the multispokes. And the seats are not dual color like in the real one...

I wonder if there's gonna be an update to correct these bugs?

I should leave it in my office so that I can play with it when bored [:D]

Scale Model? Huh?

The seats are wrong.
The antenna is wrong.
Those aren't the standard wheels.
The tailights don't look smoked.

I dunno. If I was going to buy a scale model of my car, I would want one that actually looks like my car.

www.r171.co.uk has developed a reputation for taking their customer's money and not delivering. So much so that their name has now become an adjective that can be used to describe other companies that exhibit the same pattern of behavior. Personally I think it't too early to get on Exoticar's case. But time will tell...

I have a Garmin c340 GPS on backorder for several weeks, but, unlike www.r171.co.uk, the supplier has not taken my money prior to receiving their inventory.

Motzkoman, what does Exoticar have to do with www.r171.co.uk ? Are they the same company?
