I think it will be out in Sept or so...for about $115

You can get the more affordable model by Maisto but it doesn't have a working top....but its very good none the less.

i usually buy mine for like $15 CDN at costco! hahaha
one time they had a ton of new models. I got a Z8, S2000, Hummer, and Audi TT the same day. My collection includes ML320, 190E, 560SEC, 2x SL500's, S600, countless Ferraris, Lambos, Jaguars, even Volvos! I have like 40 in all ^_^ but that's ok because I'm young

yeah u have the Maisto version....they usually go for $25

I would love to find an SL @ KayBee Toys or even Toy R US but where I live all there are muscle cars so that blows

I had a fair amount of diecasts

of the Benz road cars...I have the 55 SL, CL55..soon the new E-Class
of the racing Benz...I have the C-Class DTM (K Ludwig), CLK-GTRs of the mid 90s, McLaren F1 (98 & 99), CLK-DTM...soon the Sauber C9

good luck and happy collecting...check out scale18.com 's forum....great info

yeah I got the CLK-GTR too but I paid like $90 USD for that one. You should check out costco for maisto cars. they're only $15 cdn for 1/18 models! The ones at malls are like $90 usd (for my CLK-GTR and Porsche GT1)
