    Wtf? How are those things as expensive as Ferraris? Sure they are limited production, etc. but still - $250,000?

    Wasn't this also from a Naked Gunn movie? I know they featured something similar as a Captain Hazelwood joke.

    For the final course in the test, they should have midgets speed up across their bow and take siege.

    Is Mattel planning on releasing a Silver Fox Ken doll? Or maybe a Don Draper GI Joe figure with authentic bastard action?

    Not sure about this one - since the most popular miniature models are made by Vitra Miniature - it usually runs from $200 up to $600+ each. I wonder how the quality of the $6 piece compare with Vitra's...

    @achung123: I'm a bit wary of seat replica prices being in the range of $200+. I can find examples of great looking seat replicas inside of diecast model cars that come to about $100. I suppose it depends on the material, but any good cheaper material that can be molded and textured to look like the real thing (but not necessarily feel like it) for cheap would be a great deal better. I mean, really, it's not like you're going to actually sit in it.

    If they're 1:18 scale, maybe I can make a little Porsche or Ferrari dealership diorama. Shuddup.

    Wow.

    I used to work for a company where I took care of these machines.


    I don't need to see the movie Dottie.
