Thanks for the welcome back! I remember well your photos of mostly numbered cars on that white window sill near great natural lighting. Must have been wrong about Russelsheim, which is where I think Opel has a plant?

Maybe I'm in my own reality regarding sealed 1:18? I was thinking they're very well received for there is an ever increasing number of new moulds etc and figured the demand was there? As a 1:43 collector, I've had a very hard time justifying the purchase of cars over $60 USD and that threshold has been passed with Spark, GLM, Matrix etc. So when I can get an Otto for $90 or a GT Spirit for $100, they really seem more car and detail for the money. That coupled with low production runs, I'm guessing they're going to be a fair investment too? Well, maybe ;)

I've noted some of the brands you've mentioned, a few that I wasn't following!

Thanks again, GT
