Hi Admin

Will there be any further XU1 releases in 1/18 ? Would really like a Gunmetal Grey or Strike me Pink Road Version.

Same Question regarding LX SLR5000 ,the Red one is nice ,But a Black one would be nicer.any other Colors would do.

And I'd be interested to know what colours the A9X 2 door and 4 door came in, and which colours they're going to be modelled in. I missed the white 2 door, but fancy the red one when it's released. As for the 4 door, I like them in red, but there must be knowledgable people out there who can tell me what other colours they came in.

Apart from a Cyan Metallic coloured XU-1 (same as mine) soon from Biante , I'd love to see the XU-1 come with steel road wheels and chrome dress rims. This would make a nice departure from the Globe alloy rims.

What about these Torana/Holden colours
Pharoah Gold , Plum Dinger , Lina Mint , San Remo Gold , The Lone O'Ranger , Lettuce Alone , Preston Anniversary Beige metallic , Purr Pull and there was another which I think was called Barney's Shirt. As the story goes a guy in the styling studio wore in a wild coloured shirt one day and they made it a colour option. Remember it was the late '60's / early '70's. Far out man.

Curious to how Colors are Chosen for the Models,do you survey or have another method of Selection.
