A good place to shop for diecasts in Singapore
-
Hi,
I'll be visiting Singapore early next month and I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best place to buy diecast models. I am particularly interested in Auto Art 1:43 diecast cars since I am looking to expand my collection. So the shop name and location will be very helpful to me.
Are there any diecast model shops on Orchard Road? I though there as one in Wisma Atria, but couldn't find it last time I was in Singapore in November '06.
Thanks in advance. -

You can call them at 6333 6786... They've got quite a lot of 1:43 AA models...
Btw... just curious, do you have any 1/18 as well? -

There is another one (3rd floor) in Mandarin hotel gallary, near cineleisure. -
LH83, I had one 1:18. My favourite one. I bought it from KL malaysia (from Mega Mall). I took it to the US with me since I was studying there. When it was time for me to leave I had to throw it away. It broke my heart. I had not place to put it.
It was an orange Auto Art Lamborghini Diablo GTR.
After that, I decided not to buy 1:18s anymore.
Here is a pic of it.
Is Wheelock place just opposite Shaw Center Isetan? and does it have an Apple showroom there as well? -
Aww... pity about the Diablo GTR...Originally posted by lambodiablo777:LH83, I had one 1:18. My favourite one. I bought it from KL malaysia (from Mega Mall).

It'll be the first time I'll be buying quite a few 1:43 AA diecast models from Singapore. However, I have no idea about the price. Can someone tell me the range of prices for 1:43 AA diecast models please? is it more for the WRC models or the CLK DTM racing models, for example?
Please let me know soon. Thanks in advance!! -
