Karan, thats a nice start to your 1:18 collection. You can look forward to adding some nice Buragos too which have begun to appear in many stores now. Look out for their Dodge Viper and Bugatti EB110. Both worthy additions.

Hehehe......I wish i could have atleast one autoart.......but that's out of the question for now. As i told u i had quit my job, so running low on funds now. For the time being I will have to be satisfied with Maistos!!!!

Thanks man, and yes I do really want a couple of Bburagos in my collection, never seen them up close except some 1:24's but they didn't look at all impressive.
Aritrim told me I could find some in kolkata where i am going next month for a couple of days, so plan to buy a couple then.....if i am lucky, i might find the alpine renault and the mercedes gullwing or maybe even the morgan aero 8.
Plus I checked out Bburago's site.......NOTE - They seem to be one of the very few model manufacturers who have made the Porsche 959 in 1:18 scale......Now that would be a collector's item!!!!

Bburago does not make the 959 in 1:18. The only company that makes it is Motorbox which is an offshoot of Exoto. The Gullwing you will find in plenty. There are two types of packaging that Bburago has introduced for these cars. One comes in the regular window box and another comes in an enclosed fancy box which cost 200-300 Rs more for the same car.
Shiv is the right guy in Calcutta to help you get your cars. More power to him.

Oops. My bad. I meant Aritrim. Sorry for the confusion.

karansharma8783 · 12-15-2008, 03:14 AM

Diablo, also wanted to ask you what would be the approximate cost of a Bburago 1:18 merc gullwing, lambo countach, porsche 356??

karansharma8783 · 12-15-2008, 03:20 AM

Hey, Diablo, I also once tried to contact Bburago's official distributor in India which is in Delhi and whose details are mentioned on Bburago's website but got no reply.....I sent them a couple of emails but no use.
Did you ever try contacting them?
