Talk:Bburago

Untitled

I saw Lancia Ypsilon Bburagos on sale in Valparaíso, Chile.

[W35M4N] I have two Bburago Street Fire 1:43 models, a Chevy CorvetteConvertible and a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. I didn't even realised they had stopped making models until today.

They have now started making models again, have updated to reflect this Baskingshark 00:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Can whoever keeps adding the bit about the door hinges being weak please log it here when they do so and explain what basis they have for this statement? I have about 100 Bburago and Martoys cars from the 1970s right up to now, and I've never encountered any problems with the doors on any of them! Baskingshark 00:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

It's not that the door hinges are broken, but they are quite weak, since they are made of plastic - Which is quite weak in the first place. You might not notice it from a collector's point of view, but if you have kids that try to use the cars as toys... Lets just say it doesn't take that much time before the structural weaknesses are revealed. The doors on my F50 hardtop were also not put on right, as they were difficult to open and one of the broke off when i tried to do so. This is from personal experience, but i heard from several other people that they had the same problems with some of their cars. -- ChromeBallz —Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.99.199.227 (talk) 20:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Sinclair note moved here from main article

(Note: Dave Sinclair is a well-known collector and vendor of diecast and other automobilia. He started selling diecast vehicles in 1964. Sinclair nearly single-handedly brought specialty European diecast to the U.S. during the 1970s. Information from his newsletters and catalogs is respected period information on the subject (see Levine 2009.)--Cstevencampbell (talk) 22:42, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Ferrari 360

Your article addresses a Ferrari 360 that was in production when bburago operations ceased in 2000. How can one identify this Ferrari? Was there more than one color? Please advise. Thank You Calguy60

"Death and rebirth" section

There's no info on WHY BBurago ceased production.

Yes, a bit on European manufacturing becoming prohibitively expensive.--Cstevencampbell (talk) 19:28, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

What lead up to the decision to stop manufacturing?

Probably a combination of company inefficiency and Asian competition.--Cstevencampbell (talk) 19:28, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

WHEN, year-wise, did they stop?

2005.--Cstevencampbell (talk) 19:57, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

What lead up to their acquisition by Maisto?

The only company that was really able and in that market.--Cstevencampbell (talk) 19:28, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

How is the line of the rebirth BBurago different from its pre-death line?

Check section on the differentiation between the two brands.--Cstevencampbell (talk) 19:57, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Lots of info needs to be found and added in.

Feel free to find it and add it in.--Cstevencampbell (talk) 19:57, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
