Diecast 1/18 Ottomobile w124 E60 AMG

[diaconovic]

Release due in October 2014 , it's not the best diecast maker but who cares since it's the very first 036 to be done in 1/18 .

Note : the doors , trunk , bonnet are sealed thus the cheap price .

Some minor modification will be done (bigger amg badge , color of the rear light .... )

This is not the final product .

I already reserved mine , you can pre order yours here on the official otto-club website

39 euros for shipping?!?

I'll have to wait for them to come stateside first.

They may never come to the U.S. because these models seem to be made in limited quantities. Also, I don't think they are die-cast metal, I believe they are high quality resin but with very good detail. This will be one of those things that if you want one, be prepared to pay semi-dearly for it.

I'm going to order one and have it shipped to my friend near Munich.

Gerry coming back w/ a suitcase full of models....??;-)

 

[Maui]

Looks nice. I have several 500E die cast.

Gerry, I didn't know you were a collector.

 

[J-Sauce]

60€ for the model, and another 40 for shipping? A little too rich for my blood. But still a very great looking replica. Ill sit by the sidelines and just be jealous.

FYI Ottomobile is a french based company

They only sell thru their webshop , no retailer whatsoever .

It's not the best ( i would kill for a CMC made "036" ) but basically their goal is simple , customer ask a specific model and if possible they bless us with rarely seen models .

So props to them , note that this E60 is the first Mercedes done by this company , that's a great start , the 500E in 1/18 will follow for sure

 

[036]

Thanks! Awaiting their answer.

 

[bullet]

Thanks Guys, just ordered 2x!

 

[036]

We just got 2 cars
Haven´t seen them in the flash yet.
Nothing opens, but detalisation should be good.

 

[jhodg5ck]

No one on that side of the pond (with reasonable shipping?) Willing to do a group by and/or help some other forum members out...???

 

[modzona]

All sold out.

 

[jhodg5ck]

Well that was quick!

 

[036]

Well that was quick!

Actually no.. couple of month on sale, and only 2000 pieces.

 

[036]

I take better one.

 

[036]

Finally i have it in my hands. Heavy, quite good made. Worth 49 Euro, but not more
Some details are here

Next ....E500 Limited ...September 2015...available for preorder next week on the ottomobile club website

 

[diaconovic]

http://club-ottomobile.com/fr/20-Octobre

It's up for pre order , they even had the Peugeot from the Taxi film but i'll pass on these ... too ricy for my taste

 

[Glen]

Ack...a moment of weakness. I couldn't resist, just placed my order.

Any one willing to perhaps take delivery and send them over as a Lot..?? IIRC, the shipping over seas from Ottomobile was..um..a bit brutal!

jono

 

[Glen]

39 euro for shipping is definitely brutal...but due to the limited availability, I didn't want to wait and possibly not get one at all.

 

[nocfn]

I already paid for mine...

 

[gerryvz]

Just be happy that the dollar is stronger than it was a year ago ... it's a better deal for us on this side of the pond. I'm going to have mine sent to Germany.

Now on eBay:

[Glen]

I ordered directly from Otto back in August. Supposedly it's on it's way

Same here. Apparently mine is somewhere in the US already. Hopefully receive it by next week, latest.

 

[nocfn]

Me too!

 

[500ESpain]

Mine arrived today

 

[nocfn]

mine came today as well. Very heavy, like some Franklin Mint 1/18 scale. Spot on match, but unlike the Franklin Mint models, the doors do not open, the steering wheel does not turn the wheels and the undercarriage is molded rather than multiple replicas of the undercarriage.

Very nice model, I am glad I have it. I will hold off buying another until a C126 comes available.

 

[diaconovic]

Got mine but the driver side mirror came unglued ... it's fixable so it's ok

 

[Maui]

Mine arrived today as well after the post office called me and said the address was missing my house number.

 

[Roma_500E]

sold out now so have to buy off ebay.

PS looks like it has amg gen II side skirt (rocker panel).

 

[Glen]

Mine was delivered today! Very high quality with a very nice finish. If I'm being picky, I'd say they should have flared the wheel wells just a tiny bit more. Overall, I'm very impressed and now I have to decide if I want the 190 Evo they are offering in December [emoji3]

[Glen]

Here's mine...

 

[AMG5PT4]

Got mine yesterday. Opened it up, noticed no hood star, but found two small wrapped "baggies" on the floor. I assume one contains the hood star. Not sure what is in the other little package. Car is heavy and solid. Wish the doors opened -can see a little piece of paper lint in the interior. Now my 94 E500 is supported by the excellent 94 drawing print and a 94/95 Limited Ottomobile model 1/18. All have the EVO II wheels. Nice.

Yes, very nice indeed. Mine shipped with a hood gun-sight installed and then I think I was provided two spares in some tiny little packages. I wish it had come with an avant-garde grill. Seems as if it left the factory with the manual HVAC system. Otherwise, pretty hard to tell what option were "intalled". Agree with Glen that the fenders should have more flare.

Hi guys,

While walking inside a mall, happened to drop by a store that sells diecast cars...they had 3 of the OTTO brand, 1:18 500E in silver.

If there are any members interested, I can go back, ask for price and even take pictures. Shipping can be done via FedEx or UPS ( but I don't know prices, will have to bring the box to them) or if not in a rush, my son and grandson will be going to Calif, USA this May and can bring the models with them and ship to continental USA address.

I'm not making any money on these, only doing it since we are all enthusiasts. I actually have a collection of about 100 of MB's in 1:18...and really know the frustration of tracking a particular item...like the 1:18 MB F1 car of Lewis...

Let me know.

 

[jhodg5ck]

I'm interested

Check your pm jono

 

[J-Sauce]

Chicky, I'm interested. Thanks for the offer! I'd be willing to meet your family here in California and even ship the remaining models to the other folks stateside.

 

[chicky]

Hi,

Ok, will drop by the mall in a few hours (it's 3:30 am Monday morning as I type this). Will take pictures and try to get a good price for you guys.

Regards,

 

[chicky]

Hello Neil/M104AMG, Jono/jhodg5ck and J-Sauce,

Here are pictures that I took of the die cast E500. The last picture shows that it comes with an extra hood emblem (the Star emblem) and a sticker.

The price is P5000.00 for model, based on todays exchange rate + bank charges, works out to US$101.00, excluding shipping charges (to be based on buyer's request). PayPal to my account is welcome, please state that it is a gift, so there will be no charges. Please note that I will not profit from this transactions, just wanting to satisfy a fellow members' "urgent need" for the model...

There are 3 sets available, 2 located in the shop where I went, and another 1 in another branch...but no issues with me to have them picked up by my company messenger.

 

[chicky]

Hi guys,

May I request the members to please confirm their interest on the E500 1:18 diecast OTTO, as I am given only till Friday (Manila time) for them to reserve these for me.

Regards,
