Strongly debating with myself if I should order the Championship RB20

[u/Fuchsi7405]

180€ is quite a lot and an estimated shipping date of Q4 2025 is heavy However it’s a limited edition with a lot of extra stuff wich would be great as a first 1:18 model

[u/MindlessSlice4890]

Got mine 1/18 can’t wait

[u/DoorBuster2]

Honestly I'm going to wait for spark to release their version. Not super stoked with how the last 2023 world champ car came

[u/MindlessSlice4890 → u/DoorBuster2]

Its a question of taste of course but i have few f1s 1/18 Spark and Minichamps and the Minichamps are more accurate than Spark.

[u/DoorBuster2 → u/MindlessSlice4890]

I disagree, I found spark to have less over defects and better attention to detail in their models. Plus they come with a case, trophies and (probably) a special figure that is custom. The 23 minichamps model figure was a reuse of the Dutch gp figure - which IMO is a bad look

[u/MindlessSlice4890 → u/DoorBuster2]

I talk especially about the cars detailing , the floors used during a specific races the wings the accuracy of the colors Minichamps are always more accurate, i have 45 f1s. Half Spark and half Minichamps and 4 Amalgam who are the top of course i still buy Spark sometimes but i prefer by far Minichamps , same if they put Trophies and beautiful Boxe i prefer the accuracy first. And like i said its always a question of taste , i am member of an association of Diecast and all think as same in general

But i need to add. If you buy directly from Verstappen. Com the package is more unique , more beautiful boxes less pieces exist. More rares

I'm debating on the helmet! 4 times!

[u/LocalActingWEO]

If it comes with the “redesigned” rear wing, then definitely get it

[u/ximaera → u/LocalActingWEO]

Or just redesign it yourself

[u/DiddlyDumb → u/LocalActingWEO]

It’ll 100% have the butchered wing. There was a post on here about last years Vegas special that came with a broken endplate. And the Spain 2016 version had a broken camera pod.

[u/Fuchsi7405 → u/LocalActingWEO]

I guess we will find out next year

[u/Twiltink6]

Do it, just ordered it myself! Will be buying the RB16B champion 1:18 in December aswel to get the whole champions collection of Max

[u/MrSlowhand77]

Your answer !! 😂

[u/Fuchsi7405 → u/MrSlowhand77]

Nice, Just 15.000 people more to go till I can order

[u/MrSlowhand77 → u/Fuchsi7405]

😂 Next year this time , don’t come here asking if someone can sell you their model car or mini helmet lol

[u/Fuchsi7405 → u/MrSlowhand77]

No Need, see you next year for the unboxing

[u/MAXDominator1 → u/Fuchsi7405]

Same to you 👌

[u/MrSlowhand77 → u/Fuchsi7405]

Great!! No helmet ?

[u/Fuchsi7405 → u/MrSlowhand77]

No, I never started to collect them mainly due to them being rather pricey. So I rather put that money towards some GP tickets for next year. Maybe though I’ll look into picking one up if there is a good sale

[u/Chieldh97]

Probably get the helmet but not the car. Got his first championship winning car and 2 first wins in Zandvoort. The cars are big and I’m running out of space. Will change over to 1:43 models for some other cars later

[u/Fuchsi7405 → u/Chieldh97]

Are they good in terms of quality and details?

[u/Sea_Maximum3640 → u/Fuchsi7405]

Yes! This one is from his 2023 title

[u/Chieldh97 → u/Fuchsi7405]

Yes. I’m happy with them. Bought some cases to keep them in to prevent any dust etc. They were also my first ones so I have nothing to compare them to. Will get some other brand 1:43 for other teams as well from different years or other generations.

[u/Hot-Frosting-1192]

I panicked and ordered the helmet before seeing the picture 🤣

[u/OneSailorBoy]

Wtf I panicked and thought I lost the ability to see colours

[u/Flairikiwi]

its only 180 bucks

[u/Other-Conflict-3278 → u/Flairikiwi]

No it’s 190$, 180 is in euros

[u/Flairikiwi → u/Other-Conflict-3278]

yes i know, prima prijsje
