As is customary at this time of year, tell us what were your best three new acquisitions this year.
Looking through my own purchases, I was surprised at how few new releases I received this year and the vast majority were older models from eBay etc. Here's my top three new releases:
1963 #35 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ (Spark)... a fairly simple model but nicely executed by Spark:
1973 #27 Chevron B23 (DSN)... the new 3-D printed resin models from DSN (aka Trofeu) were a welcome addition this year. Not quite to Spark's level, but to date the only producer of the '73 / '74 Chevrons:
2021 #64 Chevrolet Corvette C8-R (Spark)... not everyone is a fan of the new Corvette shape, but I was very happy to add this one to my collection:
What were your favourites this year?

Easy peasy choice for me. Ford J Car, been waiting for this one to be released for over a decade.  Ford GT MKIV One of my all time favorite race cars. Nice to have a quality 1:43 of it.  IROC Camaro I was a very impressionable young teen when this car raced, I thought it was fantastic and so happy to have a model of it all these years later.  |

That Pegaso is gorgeous, Keko! I also liked the Alfa and, believe it or not, the Corvette shown above!  |

Not a great year for new additions as far as I'm concerned but that is probably due to the fact that in 30 years of collecting I now have most of the available models I wanted. Still, my top 3 of the year were long awaited... Autocult Probe 16  Matrix Pontiac Cirrus  Yow Modellini Alfa BAT11  Not a great representation but a model I really needed and at least Yow had a go! |

I added very few models this year, and they were all very similar, so choosing three was a bit hard. Nevertheless, here I go… I am very delighted with my most recent arrivals, especially since both of these are my first and only CMF models. I loved their quality! 1935 Duesenberg J Walker-LaGrande coupé, by CMF  1956 Crown Imperial “King Saud” limousine Ghia, by CMF  I bought a couple of Imperial models (made by GLM) this year, but I guess that this is the one I liked best (ordered late in 2021, but arrived in 2022): 1956 Crown Imperial limousine, by GLM  |

Very good choices Julio. CMF made really good models of very nice subjects. The King Saud Imperial is very tempting...

Not that much new items for me in 2022. And a top 3 is always difficult. But I guess these are my favourites. If only I had the BAT11 Bertone has in his top 3, it shure would have been in mine too. Bertone Alfa Romeo Navajo by Matrix was a must have for me. Looks great, and a real classic. Porsche Vision GT by Spark, because it would be a nice new design direction for Porsche. Bugatti EB110 by TSM. Didn't plan to buy it, because I have enough EB110s in my collcection. But it is just a ver very nice model.  |

Nice trio and like you I didn't buy much last year. I did buy the Navajo to replace my old Alezan but unlike you I didn't feel the need to add the Bug as I have enough (2) already.

(Thanks to Jerry for the decals)
(Thanks to Stewie. This set was on my wish list since I was a kid.)
(a Bang conversion. I can't believe Spark hasn't done this one.)
