Default Is Minichamps Diecast of good quality

I'm planning on purchasing the McClaren F1 from the makers of Minichamps but the car sells for $450.00. I've never seen this makers cars before, any thoughts on their quality of workmanship would be greated appreciated.

I have purchased several Minichamps 1/43rd scale cars and have been very pleased. They have been around for many years and have generally led the way in the diecast industry for details and quality.

Here is a web site that has a lot of Minichamps news: http://www.angelfire.com/mi/allishan/

Good luck,
David

For $450 it better be a highly limited piece, or made with rare materials. I've got a few 1:43 cars (C5-R's mainly), detail is very nice, cost was about $40.

For $450, what size is it? :confused:

I really love the Mclaren F1, and Royalediecast.com has them available in the minichamps 1/12 scale for $450.00 If any of you have this car in your collection let me know how well you like it. I would really love to have this car but $450.00 is kinda high for me.
