Has anyone got any of the ONYX 1:24 scale bikes?
Ive got a few of these including,
3 Differant Foggy bikes,
Chili and Corser Team Virgino Ferarri
Corser test bike (black)
Doriano Romboni world and Italian SBK
A Gobert AMA SBK

Some of them have riders aboard,others have replica helmets on the tank.I cant remember the full list as they are still packed somewhere after moving house.
Also got a few of the IXO bikes,Hodgy,Bayliss,Foggy,Chili,.etc,etc:yaw n:

Am I right in saying the Minichamps are the top models to collect?

Just getting into collecting these, how do i find out what is the right/fair price to pay for some of the rare ones. What are the rare ones in case I come across one in a shop some where?

IMHO minichamps are the best!

Good value for money & good detailing on the models!

I can only advise you on the rare Ducati 996/998 range!!

Very rare - Bostrom 00
Bayliss 00
Corser 99

Quite rare- Foggy 00
Hodgson 00
Reynolds 00 WSB wildcard (number 47)
I do know that the Katoh moviestar RCV is also very rare!!

Is the scale 1:6 the sets to go for then? Or the 1:12?

[adam]

I have been going for the 1:12 type,was tempted to get a 1:6 Bayliss imola but thought it would look out of place so didnt get it.

[deej]

minichamps are the 1's to collect and 1:12 is the scale to go for, the 1:6 scale doesnt seem as finely detailed for my liking,more remote control looking than a model

the hislop 02 title bike is rare as heck as they pulled it form production after his death, fetching £200+ on ebay, same story with kato

the older models are the 1's to collect thats why i have all 3 2000 models, didnt want the roberts 1 but it completes the set that could now be worth upto £500, the same reason i want the reynolds gsxr as that keeps my run of bsb champs going, similair story with the rossi set



the foggy 00 model isnt that rare as it was re-released for wdw so theres loads of those around

i use a company called trax models, get a monthly release sheet in the post and will hold your special orders, im still waiting for a couple but i trust them to send it me when theyre out, no payment and none of the crap i had dealing with grand prix legends

happy hunting guys, use your judgement on value and future demand before you pay silly money for say example a rutter rep, if you see the hislop grab it

[Twinfan]

I got my Hislop rep for £70 on eBay. I must have struck lucky as every other one seems to go for well over £100. £200 is a bit optimistic...

[deej]

ive seen the hislop 1 clear 200 notes before

there was a 2000 rossi rep going for over 250 the other day

its just the luck of the ebay draw im afraid

[adam]

its very addictive collecting these minichamps, finding myself on the net every night looking for the rare ones. Just bought the Rossi test bike in black, very nice bike. i can see my collection growing very fast.

[adam]

just bought a Hislop for £79.00 and have just been called mad by my wife.
Hummm, she just does'nt understand.

Luck she didnt know me when I would blow £1500 on one book
