Action and the C5Rs

[Illini Steve]

Anyone else notice that the Action sponsorship wasn't on the cars at Sebring? Wonder what impact that will have on future diecasts.

[Goody]

Good point. Hopefully it means they wont be making anymore POS reditions of the C5-R. Let Auto Art do it since they get it much better. Not perfect, but real good looking. :seeya

[Zora]

Good :smash: I hope Auto Art takes over too. :D

auto art is much lighter & uses more plastic! action is better in my opionion.maybe because i sell action diecast . :crazy:

Sell them all you want but the fact is that AUTOart builds a "near musem"
quality "Reproduction" where as Action Racing produces "Toys".

Sorry but I will take "Light & Detailed" over "Heavy & Toylike" any day!

if they were toylike they would be in walmart or toys r us! action will in the long run be worth more! :yesnod: try selling your autoart on ebay in 3 years! :lol: you will be lucky to get $20.00! :D

You are so kidding yourself if you believe what you just said about the
Action C5-R's being collectible. Infact if Dale E Sr. had not passed on, And
had Action not taken advantage of a mans death. Then you would never
have seen any of the Action C5-R's sell for more than thier original price.

I can find tons of "in demand" Action cars, Especialy RCCA NHRA cars for
far less than thier fair market value.

JMHO... :)

YOU ARE RIGHT ...THAT IS WHY I SOLD $60,000 (WHOLESALE) WORTH OF ACTION DIECASTS LAST YEAR! :rolleyes: BTW...THATS PART TIME. :yesnod:

I won't be selling my AutoArt's in the future because they are such great looking models. And I won't care how much the Actions are selling for because anything above an Ertl-like price of $25 is way more than they are worth IMO given their poor quality!

My Action c5R fell apart, not that the various pieces on it fit together, anyway.

I wish I had spent the money on an auto art.
I have an Auto Art lamborghini, Auto Art Callaway.. both eclipse the Action easily in quality and accuracy.

I've been looking for an Auto-Art c5, so I can bury the action c5 in the back yard.

/<ale,

Just tie your dog to the Action C5-R, It's heavy so he won't be able to move!

:D

I heard the Mafia uses used action models to drown people now.
Evidently with the economy being what it is, it's cheaper than
concrete shoes.
