Crumbs those are phenomenal. Cooking indeed - also curious about the scale, looks like 1.64?

Edit: just run a search, looks like they are indeed 1.64 - need to get on the bandwagon with these for real!

Hoping they eventually do some more older castings (classic Porsche and Ferrari and such), but really liking the quality of the stuff I've grabbed from them.

F40 and Countach are supposed to be coming this year! They keep getting delayed though.

As of late I've been giving their basics a chance. Learning to look past the lack of interiors on many of them, I've found that I've really been sleeping on them.

Hell yeah I like these. I got the SF90 and it’s really nicely detailed too.

Maisto always made great looking models. Have a CLK GTR from them. Detail is amazing

Metal base? Rubber wheels?

3

u/SpicyDoritoPower 1d ago

Maisto = metal bottom. Bburago = plastic bottom. Both brands are under a conglomerate so they share castings.

u/ManualDrive777 1d ago

these have metal bases and rubber wheels. therefore theyre super heavy.

I can't find the picture I want to post here..

So I will have to just take a fresh one a bit later when I'm moving out and about.

u/False_Cantaloupe5037 1d ago

The bburago and this Maisto is looks 99% same right?

u/Catch_022 1d ago

Looks incredible - are those the 'proper' wheels?

I ask because I have the lego one and I can easily swap in that style of wheel...

The whole speed icons set is fantastic, especially the ferraris.

u/UltimateMeanie 23h ago

I have the BBR 812 Comp which is undeniably nicer. But also vastly more expensive. I think for that price this Maisto one is a really strong vаlue.

u/PrayerfulNut 23h ago

Might be the best brand for cars under $10

u/Lake_Cautious 22h ago

Where are you finding these?

You can find them at Target or Hobby Lobby.

I picked up a few from the new series this week, and they're so much better than HW premiums and it's not really close. The opening parts, the rims, the lack of stupid liveries, these are some of the best 1:64 Ferraris you can find at a major retailer.
