^^ Saw the news about this on the another forum thread. Checked out the Automania website but it seems there's no option to buy the models through the website directly.

Spoke to Rakesh on Thursday and like he promised, he sent me an invite to the opening on Tuesday. I will be going to the shop mid November when I am back from Mangalore. Those trucks look mighty awesome in the pictures on the site.

No new stock at modelART yet. Creative Edu told my dad new stock possible after a month.

^^ Worse than that there seems to be a sudden lack of 1/18 Signature models everywhere I look for them. Have been inquiring about them from Modelart for the last about 4 months but everytime they say it will take time for new stock to come. I even asked Hasnain (owner of Toy Corner here in Indore) about this and he said he had a talk with Avinash of Modelart and it seems that Signature are not keen on selling their models here. He said Avinash had gone to Signature few times but each time their response was rather lukewarm. I really want to add another Signature vintage, been a long time since the last one, just love their amazing presence and chromework.

Yeah they are really impressive. I know of 4-5 Pierce arrows rotting here in Bangalore.

^^ Yeah, I called up both Modelart Delhi and Bangalore and both of them had only the Pierce Arrow. I bought that one last year. Amazing car!!! Check out my review in the vintages section.

Sure. ModelART Bangalore has 1 piece of another one, forgot the model, but its damaged. The 1 pierce arrow that's there is in a pitiable condition. There were 2 in Saphire toys.

Karan, the shop is in your backyard. Do get us lot of pics bro. My aunt stays just a hop, skip and jump away at Adarsh Nagar. Should walk down the next time I visit her. Big Grin

And if things are as good as they were at Modelart or Gift Centre, my aunt should wonder why her the frequency of her nephew's visits have increased from maybe like once in year.

I went to Automania today. He's got pretty much everything that's on his website on display at the store, and more. There are more Schuco miniatures at the store than there are on the web. Winston, his prices beat the crap outta Nikhil's ridiculously insane tags hands down. The Minichamps BMWs cost about a grand less here!

Edit: I lost my camera, so no pics for now Sad
