  1. The Lago is a beautiful and truly unappreciated automobile. Most of the early Talbots were beautifully striking. I believe the issue lies that probably most people remember Talbot in the 80's and were not beautiful or striking. The Talbot Tagora is what comes to mind when I hear "Talbot" A car so forgettable, I had to Google it:

    Ahhh, but *which* one?

     

    A thru D, you have a choice.  D is the most iconic, with the full bubble canopy, but the 3 models earlier were neat too...

    If it were a P-51, then the "B" model. Specifically Captain Bill Overstreet's "Berlin  Express" as I had the honor to meet and fly with him, an RC model airplane, before he died in 2013. He was, as I am, a member of a local flying club in Roanoke, Virginia, United States. The airplane was a Hobbico Playmate...
    A far--- FAR cry from the Mustang Capt. Overstreet flew under the Eiffel Tower during WWII in pursuit of a 109.

    Agreed,c3po would be awesome.im currently halfway through r2d2 so be nice to have a c3po next to him

    Optimus is next though😀

    I've considered the T-800 as R2's companion. But now Optimus Prime is being released...
    I agree! Optimus would make a good stand in for C-3PO.

  4. With the availability of R2-D2, it would make sense to have a 1/2 scale C-3PO. The golden droid would stand about 88 cm (or 34 inches tall) of course be poseable (or some limited autonomous movement), eyes would light, capable of speaking famous 3PO phrases, possibly interact with an R2-D2 replica. I would certainly send my money for a C-3PO model.

  5. That is a tough choice, the Adam West or Michael Keaton Batmobile. What about a set of 1/43 action hero vehicles? Like Fanhome is doing with the American Muscle cars? 
    I would still love to do a 1/8 Batmobile though.
