Have quality of minigts gone down?

I recently bought the latest posrche skeleton rexy and lamborghini ronin. This is my 2nd minigt purchase and I feel like there is a huge downgrade in its quality.

My first minigt was porsche dakar blue for price 1299. Honestly its a really good casting in terms of built quality. Then i bought a poprace which had far better built quality than the dakar.

But the newest model doesnt even come close to the dakar in terms of quality. The side mirrors are flimsy, the bottom panel is light plastic, the body feels light and fragile, the windshield is poor, other plastic parts feel very fragile. This doesnt match up to the price tag of 1399 (ronin), 1679 (rexy)

Has the quality really gone down ?

I dont think i will be buying minigts in future if the quality is going to go down further.

Doing custom build Need advice on decals & vinyl

I'm completely new to customizing MINI GT cars and I'm planning my first custom build. Before I start, I wanted to ask for some advice from people with more experience.

Few questions:

1:Where do you usually get your decals for MINI GT customs?

2:Do you buy pre-made decal sheets, print your own, or use custom services?

3:What type of decals do you recommend (water-slide decals, vinyl stickers, or something else)?

4:If you're using vinyl, what kind/brand works best for 1:64 scale?

5:Do you have any favorite websites, sellers, or stores for decals and vinyl?

One more thing-I don't plan on using a clear coat because I don't want to alter the factory paint finish. If I skip the clear coat, which type of decals or vinyl would hold up best and still look clean over time?

Any beginner tips would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!:)

State of the Display

How do you all display your Mini GTs?

What cases or displays are tried, tested and durable?

I love these box cases, but they aren’t easy to put together, and require a lot of patience. They are compact and don’t have screws, so that adds to the clean and crisp look. If you are someone who like to keep swapping the cars in the display, then you need to be careful while re-opening these case as the mechanism used is to click / snap into the rivets and not magnets.

The blister cases are from Made by Dots. Simply love it!Once you build the first one, then it’s a breeze to do the rest. The first one is a bit of a challenge. The magnetic open/close makes it very easy to switch out the blister pack inside.

Some tips for acrylic cases, if the paper doesn’t peel easily, use a wet cloth soaked in warm soap water to dab at the edges. They release the adhesive and the paper is easier to remove.

P.S. If someone wants to help me out with a Rexy 77, that would be great 🙏

Why is this happening ?

I've recently bought the LCD model's mclaren MP4/24 and when I seperated the car from the base, it has these spots on the base where the wheels sit. Why is this happening? I had the same problem with my new CM model pagani zonda reva barchetta as well. Is there anything I can do about it ?

KnD vs Krazy Caterpillar?

Hi guys,

I am fairly new to this hobby and would like to start off with 1:64 after collecting 1:43 F1 lineup from bburago. I know KnD are official distributors but given the recent posts about them being unresponsive or terrible customer service, I'm kinda conflicted whether I should order from them or not. I don't like to be paranoid after placing an order! If anyone can suggest the course of action here, I will really appreciate it. Is KC better in terms of customer service and updates? I will be ordering around 7 models at one go, if that helps! TIA
