I thought some of you might be interested in these, 1:18th scale limited edition models.
Ive got the yellow RS4 and it is awesome in detail and quality!

These are well worth checking out if you are into scale models

I love their subject matter.

Have not got one yet , but been meaning to join the Otto-club.

Only 39 Euros per model if you are , which is a bargainb for a sealed resin model.

I got my RS4 via a group buy on S2forum.com, worked out even cheaper

[NismoGT]

I take it they discount group buys?

I'd love the RS4 Avant in Blue if it is planned for future release.

I guess so, the bloke on s2forum has a model shop so maybe he does it through that, Im not sure

Does he have an online shop? Can't find any UK sellers importing Otto's.

Ive sent him a message pointing him to this thread

Unfortunatly he is not looking to do normal importing of the models, as it was done for mates on the forum with no profits made (it only worked out cheaper due to bulk postage) but I would imagine it would be possible for someone on here to organise group buys

Cheers. Thanks for asking.

Almost all of the models sell out instantly then appear on ebay at 3 times the original price. Far too many of their customers seem to be in it for a quick buck only.

To a certain extent thats true. However there is a UK importer for Otto now and UK RRP on them is from around £80.00. Oddly, the Otto club members can buy them cheaper than UK retailers hence why they are relatively rare here.

postage from france on 2 cars is only a few euros more than 1, so it makes sense to get 2 and sell the other on to help cover your own costs

if others are too lazy to go direct then they have to pay ebay prices
