      +YuanGS GS I completely agree and I came here to post the same thing. AutoArt models are extremely nice, on a CZcams video you'd hardly notice the difference between those and these "1%er" models. If you ask me, these Amalgam models are simply "look how much money I have to p*** away."

    Considering the hours worked and material costs to make one of those, it actually is a fair price. That's the annoying thing about being an artist of any kind... good art takes so long to make that even if you charge a fortune for each piece, you're still only making just enough money to live on.

  • @littleBIGrobots
    @littleBIGrobots Před 8 lety +12

    If people are upset about the price, it's important to remember that these are not Hot Wheels; these are pieces of art. Artists often sell their works at a price point that reflects the time or energy put into the piece. 7-12 grand seems steep if you compare it to a 300 dollar remote-control car at your local hobby shop, but these are completely different. As an artist who has had to worry about pricing multiple times (people -- especially younger people -- seem to think everything is or should be free these days) so I can see the amount of work that goes into these. The only missing from these is a miniature human to drive them.

    • @littleBIGrobots

      Tim Dev Next time you're at an art show or taking a professional photo with your family, just tell them you're only willing to pay for the materials used.

    • @motorrecon200
      @motorrecon200 Před 8 lety +3

      +Beau Handyman I get your point these cars are worth the money just based on the time spent making them and the craft but its certainly better than actual art. Especially modern art which has had no time, effort of thought put into it especially not material cosy as there usually scrap parts and odds and ends so they are actually worthless. You have to be a special kind of moron to spend millions on art. Even the old Art that took days if not weeks to paint are not worth $100million in any time and materials its just a painting but people pay obscene amounts for it. Your comparison to a photographer is also silly as they don't spend anytime doing it, once the lighting rigs are setup which isn't hard you just take the picture. I have an SLA camera and just messing with shutter speed and light balance and things have taken better photos than any family photographer I've seen.

  • @stevenswm9844

  • @Jia1337
    @Jia1337 Před 7 lety +49

    "Who would possibly buy these?!" Dude, I'll be straight with you. If I had the money to buy a LaFerrari or even a goddamn BMW M4, I would probably spend an extra grand or two to make a wonderful replica and put it on my display shelf. Why? Because when the actual car is in the garage, I cannot see it. So the solution to that is simply turn my head and look at the stunning replica. Then it might lure me into driving the actual car for leisure purposes.
    But you got to admit, these things look wonderful.

    I knew these would be expensive the moment I saw the interior details. But price aside, they look great.

    That Lambo is so realistic, you have send 1000$ a month to the Factory to stop it from falling apart!

    Real car or model, the beautiful Lambo Miura still knocks me dead. The ‘60s still own the best looking supercar ever, hands down.

    I might get one for my rx-7. Calculating a decent pay these cars are actually worth the price
