I wanted a miniature version of my car, so my wife got me another thing to obsessively detail

[shadax]

At least she got it for MSRP!

It's from: https://otto-models.com/

• It's RHD / JDM, I mirrored the photos to appear LHD.
• It's completely static. Nothing moves including the wheels. But it is very nicely detailed.
• The $5 license plates are not worth it. They are faded and I could have made better ones for less.
• Yes, I already snapped the mirror off if you noticed...

I don't blame the build quality, this thing is quite heavy and while setting it down I was gripping with my thumb and forefinger just below the mirrors. The car slid down a bit to where the weight was put on that joint, pulling the mirror off the door. I'll need to figure out what kind of glue to re attach it.

That’s pretty sweet! They are out of the boost blue and now it’s in rally red

I have a hunch there is a thin profit margin on these. They may have to wait for interest in a product, for example they start with boost blue which I preordered. Once they have enough preorder revenue, they can secure profit and the cost of production in one go. It's a form of a group buy.

Otherwise they won't know how many to produce to make it worth it, so they either sellout (low profit ceiling/not worth it) or end up with stock collecting dust. This is the case for basically anything but when that margin is thin enough, this is the only way to feasibly operate (usually niche products).

MassDrop, or I guess it's known as Drop now, does sort of the same thing with artisan keycaps. Someone has a product idea but its too expensive to produce. Once they get enough preorders to afford to make it, they fulfill the orders.

Anyway just a guess. If you hold out long enough they will likely do another run of boost blue.
