On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate the detail on the Rapido cars a 10, the Walthers new Empire Builder cars a 6.  I don't have a BLI car to compare against, so I can't rate them.  I own around 9 of the Rapido cars.  As a Manufacturing Engineer, I talked to Rapido several times about several manufacturing problems they have, such as the tight fitting batteries, the dirt inside my cars, the paint job and other things.  About 50% of my light systems were broken.  I fixed them myself.  They seemed interested in correcting the defects.  However, the $60 price is extremely steep.  I mean they are made in China where Labor is dirt cheep.  So they must be rolling in money to charge these high prices.  I would like to see the cars and homes the people at Rapido live in.  I am sure that they are lot better than the standard average middle class home.  However, I do buy my Rapido cars from both the internet and my LHS.  They both give me great discounts.  So if you want the Rapido products, shop around.  If someone is going to charge me the full retail price they are asking, then I will stop buying the cars from them.  The products are nice but not $60 nice.
