You really have to wonder about quality control with no interior. Wow.

Very poor quality control, its this sort of thing that put me off HW and MB.

I still say they do it on purpose as it makes the hunt even stronger and more toys are sold. Sad but true and it cuts a job as who needs a qualilty control team when all these HW collectors LOVE The mistakes so much. I can hear it at the board meeting....."Did you see the latest posts of ...such and such a site...about the cars missing interiors. They are going nuts over them and the mixed up wheels etc. Lets eliminate the QC Dept and start up a Screw Up Dept. So many from each batch will have something wrong and they and others will be snatched up.
LOL Sad isn't it???

Maybe those new Chinese robots cannot see that good when they scan them wheel bins and they all start to look the same. Well maybe.

I continue to be amazed at the amount of factory errors, can someone tell me the normal price of one of these and the premium you would pay for one of the"factory errors" It must really simplify production when you ship everything.. I'm glad they don't make full size cars....

Niall, I know that they sell for about $1.98 here in Canada and you can add on 5% sales tax to that. Specials like the RoadRcr series, which are all metal are in the $7.00 range, again plus 5% tax. They do go on special from time to time at about $1.79 and sometimes as low as $1.29. If I want lower prices I have to go to the big box stores in the Okanagan, 2.5 hours away and there I can get them for $1.35 or less. I think in the USA most are sold for about $0.99 each. Real cheap and bang them out and be damned the torpedo's. Stock Control, We don't need any Stinking Stock Control.
