As a forty-year collector of model vehicles, primarily 1/18 scale resin and diecast, numbering into…read morethe thousands, I have had only one other occasion to purchase from Mint Models. The first transaction was totally without drama. My reason for limited patronage is due to the fact that Mint Models carries some of the best, and sometimes expensive, offerings from a variety of manufacturers and unfortunately most are out of my budget. Still, it is fun to visit their beautiful, comprehensive website and dream. On occasion I will treat myself to a model a little more than my usual price range as I like to sample one or two examples from different manufacturers to scrutinize their detail. I have a handful of Exoto, CMC, BBR, MR, etc. but most of my large collection is moderately priced. I was interested in the Mclaren Speedtail as it was featured at Mecum Monterey this year and I had been looking at a future Top Speed release. In my search, I found Mint Models offering a Tecnomodel version, in stock, and in my color preference. This model is normally about twice as much as the Top Speed but Mint Models had it on sale at a HUUUUUGE discount. Almost too good to be true. Having never owned a Tecnomodel, I decided to go ahead and purchase the model. Although I had trouble having my account identified in their system, likely because I hadn't purchased from them in such a long time, once in, my order was received. I placed my order in the midnight hour on the West Coast and Mint Models had it on its way within a few hours of their morning opening on the East Coast. I only paid for standard shipping but the model arrived far earlier than expected. I have to admit to having anxiety about all my model orders arriving safely when coming cross country and have received boxes that looked like they had been dropped from a five story building probably embarrassing the delivery driver who had to deliver them. Not in this case. Mint Models double boxed and double "popcorned" my model and it arrived in absolutely perfect shape. Once I unboxed the model, it did not disappoint as it was beautifully finished, detailed and even came in a display case that I was not aware of. As nice as the model was, Mint Model's service was even better. I have to admit, in my reconnecting with Mint Models, I was a little concerned with some of the negative reviews but took a chance anyway. I am in the habit of never giving bad reviews in favor of giving no review at all. If you have an ugly baby I won't stretch the truth and say it's cute, I'll say nothing. Fortunately, with this purchase I'm not in that position and felt inspired to write this "short novel." I'm sorry some people felt they had a bad experience but I can only speak of mine and in forty years of collecting and sourcing my models from dozens of vendors, this is one of the best if not "the best" transaction I have participated in. If I can find it in my budget, I won't hesitate to purchase from Mint Models again.
