Picked Up '97 Bburago Yellow/Red Stripe RT/10, 1:18

[Vipuronr]

While I don't think there are many iterations left for me in 1:18 scale RT/10's, I was missing three that I was aware of - White w/Blue Stripe, the "McViper" and the Yellow w/Red Stripe.

I must say, I haven't seen any of these until recently, when I found two different Yellow w/Red Stripes. Luckily, one was actually on sale, so I bought it...so, soon to join the rest of my RT clan!

But, I do have a question....did Maisto make any 1:18 RT's? I know they made many different GTS versions in 1:18 and some RT's in 1:24 (pretty sure)?

Thanks.

 

[le66]

The RT-10 doesn't exist in 1/18 in Maïsto... only by Burago. So, a yellow/red stripes is in Burago...

 

[Vipuronr]

Thanks, that is what I thought...just wanted to confirm. The ones I already have are bolded.

So, as I see it, these are the only "accessible" RT's in 1:18:

Bburago:
Red
Red (silver stripes) Gen I wheels
Yellow
Yellow (red stripes) Gen I wheels or Gen II wheels
Black
Black (silver stripes) Gen I wheels or Gen II wheels
Green
White (blue stripes) Gen II wheels

Revell Creative Masters:
Red
This does not include the nearly impossible ones (out of my price range):

McViper
Rent a Car Systeme #40
Rent a Car Systeme #41

Any that I've missed? I know about the Anson 1:12 series, but they are way to expensive.

Thanks!

 

[markk]

Fortunately for me, there are only 3 Bburago 1:18 GTS models (at least that I know of).

Red (white stripes) - gold wheels
White (blue stripes)
Blue (white stripes)

All are fairly common too, so it was easy to collect them. I'm working on the RT/10 1:18 collection (4 so far) so thanks for the list.

 

[Vipuronr]

[Vipuronr]

Lee, yup, forgot the scale was different on the Creative Masters RT.

Because I become sort of obsessive about things like this, I intentionally do not try to own every iteration....that's because I will not rest until I find every single one...ugh! Not to mention, I just don't have the space to display them and storing them is a waste.

I still have most of my Porsche GT1 collection, including one I picked up in Tokyo...drove me nuts everytime I found there was another one! Don't ever want to do that again!

I also try not to overpay because I am normally impatient. I have found (in most cases), that if I wait there is usually the same car for less. Case in point, Chad found the black with silver stripes and I bought it immediately for $26 + ship. The next day, the same car (in the box) was on Ebay for $16.

Anyway, would love to see pics of collections...particularly RT's. Mine's just not big enough to take pics of...haha.

I think it was not others colors in Bburago for instance...

 

[InjectTheVenom]

Wait hold on did Burago release a 1992 Pace Car RT/10 at one point?? I am not a fan of the brand but for one of those I will make an exception!

ITV, I think it's not a real Bburago made but a Rt with some decals Chris.

Edit: A chrome RT was made by Bburago, I just missed that...

 

[Vipuronr]

For the Revell RT, I think two possible explanations for the blacked out headlights 1) there might have been some trademark issues between them and Bburago, or 2) didn't the RT concept car have blacked out headlights? Might just have been an interesting touch (they thought).

 

[Vipuronr]

Here's my small assortment of RT's:

Plus, not in the picture, is the Revell RT and a GT2, both stored in the closet.

 

[markk]

Where do you get the cases? I've been keeping mine in the boxes. Do you keep the boxes in case you decide to sell them someday?

 

[Vipuronr]

On the boxes, I went to lots of places (and Ebay) but too expensive. Then, I think Chad mentioned Michael's Crafts, so I stopped by there and they had them in different sizes. The larger one is about US$18, but they have had them on sale for $8 or $9, so I've been picking them up....and you don't have to pay the extra money for shipping as with Ebay.

Ebay:
1:18 diecast toy model car truck shelf display case box - eBay (item 120690433825 end time Mar-05-11 11:38:58 PST)

As to keeping the boxes, I got rid of them as they take up too much space. This time, unlike with the Porsches, I bought them to display and keep. Can't think of down the road, because the plan is to give the car to my son &/or daughter at some point.

But, I'm sure if I'm "gone", and my wife sells the RT that she would give them with the car or throw them out.

 

[Vipuronr]

Interesting...I much prefer to have 1:18 scale to that of 1:24 and the scarcity of certain colors in 1:18 demonstrate their greater desireability. That said, I do have a few 1:24 that I played with to come as close as I could to a '98. In doing that, I ruined my McViper so now I might actually look to get another as it is another factory variation of a red RT. But, my favorite 1:24 is my red RT with black wheels/black stripes!

You must be registered for see images attach

So, from quickly looking around, here's what I see is available in 1:24 scale RT/10's(bold is what I have):

White w/blue stripes
Yellow
Green
Black
Black w/silver stripes
Red Gen I
Red McViper
Red - custom Gen II w/blac stripes, black wheels
Red - custom, coverted Gen I to Gen IIBlue w/white stripes
Red (Ertl) don't like!

I must say, on the subject of 1:18's for a second, that I prefer to collect Vipers that existed in the real world. Example is the yellow w/red stripes and red w/silver stripes...both not offered by the factory, just something that Bburago (or the later company that took over) wanted to leverage. Yes, I bought the yellow w/red stripes, but am hesitating buying the red. Would rather wait for something I am missing that was really built like the white w/blue stripes, McViper, etc.

 

[markk]

In 1:24, I have a Bburago solid red GTS with gold wheels, a Bburago white/blue RT/10, and the AMT/ERTL 3-packs (McViper, white/blue, black/silver). These are plastic and I'm guessing about the 1:24 size. I purchased several packs from a guy just to have them.

I primarily focus on the 1:18 size, and I sometimes pick up small sizes, especially if I'm buying on ebay and the seller has other sizes and will combine shipping.

I have the cars in bold and all the ones under "Others". I keep the list in Excel, which doesn't transfer well to the forum.

[Vipuronr]

I have one Ertl Gen I in red, don't like it but put it out since I have it.

At this point, I pick up what I find if I'm in the mood. As I said, don't have much display room and don't want to buy just to stick in closet.

Nice group you have there!

As I said in earlier thread, Amazon has the yellow and black GT2 if you're interested.

Apparently Bburago also has a solid white RT/10 in 1:24 size. There is one on ebay for $20 + s/h. I'm skipping it for now and will probably regret it since that's the only white one I've seen.

 

[Vipuronr]

So, this is what I've added in the last few days:

1:24 Yellow RT Gen I
1:24 RT "McViper

I also saw the all white, but the RT was not made in all white and I really don't like buying something that wasn't in the real world...though I did buy the yellow w/red stripe 1:18 RT.

Will only buy if cheap, and got the McViper for $2.75! Will not pay $15 for one, just need to be patient.

 

[markk]

I added the following this past week:

A strange one. Description/box says GTS, but the car is an RT/10 and seller swears it was never removed from box. I bought it just in case there was a factory mess-up. MOPAR 1:18 DODGE VIPER GTS COUPE 1996 RED BURAGO - eBay (item 110654352474 end time Mar-05-11 08:35:52 PST)

1:18 Red/White Maisto GTS
5 different 1:64 GTS models

I am watching a few others. I'm really tempted to start collecting the Autoart 1:18's, especially the competition coupes, but they are a bit pricey.

I wish there was a list of all Bburago cars made in the various sizes and colors. Then I could pick out the Vipers and be certain when my collection was complete.

 

[Kurt]

Here is a list of most of the Vipers produced in 1/18 scale. It includes quite a few custom models, but also covers most of the standard releases:

Search - Scale18 1/18 Scale Diecast Model Cars, Since 1997

 

[markk]

Thanks for the link. I picked up:
yellow/red RT/10 with Gen I wheels
silver/blue GTS
red, silver, and yellow SRT/10's

By the way, this place has great customer service. I just received a personal email from them about my order (late Sunday night). He answered a question I asked, so I know it is from a human and not an automated email.

I'm kinda glad they didn't have all the different ones in stock. Some of the airbrushed ones are very nice.

If anyone comes across a Bburago 1:24 (solid) Red GTS with gold wheels, please let me know. The one I purchased arrived with broken seats and a missing gas cap.

 

[Vipuronr]

Not to be redundant, but I have limited space. That said, I am trying to have a nice "representative" collection of RT's to brighten up my garage. At some point, though, the cost of die casts gets to the point of impacting doing stuff to my real RT. At that point, I have to stop.

The few I am interested in are harder to find and therefore way overpriced. Since my goal is not to have every one that was produced, its easier for me to pass on certain ones.

The two 1:18's that I would like to add at some point are white/blue stripes, McViper (like Chads) and, if they made in 1:18, the blue & white...maybe red w/silver stripes.

In 1:24, only a few left I am interested in - B&W, green and silver.

Eventually, I will find what I need as long as I am patient!

 

[Vipuronr]

I am a bit amazed at how much some people are asking for a used piece, vs new. I guess they can ask what they want, but bet many never sell. Every once in awhile, you do come across a new piece that is priced really cheap and can grab it...as I did with the Revell Creative Masters RT I picked up for $29!

For me, its easier, as I am not a true collector and am not looking for a complete collection. Just want a decent showing of RT's and, because of that, I will not go after a particular car "at all costs"! I used to do that when I was collecting 1:18 Porsche GT1's and paid lots for some of the more rare pieces... only to be stuck with many and having to sell them at quite a bit less years later. I now only have two left and will try to sell my "prize" one and hope I can get some of my investment back (bought from the UK).

Oh well, just rambling....

Here's my newest addition:

Car in mint, box a little beat up but I am throwing out the box anyway....

 

[Vipuronr]

So, went over to Michael's Crafts to pick up a few more of the clear plastic display cases and wouldn't you know it...SOLD OUT!

Funny, my obsessive nature tells me I have to have all the same display cases....ugh! But, saved...there is another Michael's in the next town, so ran over and they still had some...whew!!!
