Redefining Automotive Collecting in the UAE

The Story of Grail27

Grail27 Collectible

GRAIL27 was created in Dubai for people who see cars as more than just machines.

We are not here to sell random toy cars.

Our focus is on collector-grade scale models, from detailed 1:18 centrepieces to future 1:64 drops, 1:43 models, display pieces, and automotive-inspired collectibles. Every product is chosen with car culture in mind — the kind of models that make you stop, look closer, and say, “I need this in my collection.”

Whether you love Land Cruisers, Defenders, G-Wagons, Porsche icons, JDM legends, supercars, or rare collector pieces, GRAIL27 is built to help you build your dream garage in scale.

What's in a Name?
THE GRAIL
The Grail is the model every collector keeps hunting for — rare, special, and worth the chase.
THE 27
The 27 represents racing history, speed, and the raw energy of the track — the emotion that makes car culture so addictive.

Together, GRAIL27 stands for automotive collectibles made for petrolheads, collectors, and car lovers in the UAE.

From premium scale model cars to display pieces and future man cave essentials, we help you build your dream garage in scale

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your scale models authentic?

Yes. All scale model cars, diecast models, and resin collector models sold by GRAIL27 are genuine and sourced through trusted suppliers.

We focus on premium model car brands including AUTOart, Almost Real, LCD Model, Norev, GT Spirit, Minichamps, Paudi, Kyosho, and selected 1:64, 1:43, and 1:18 scale manufacturers.

Each model is checked before dispatch and packed securely for collectors across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the rest of the UAE.

Do you ship to Saudi Arabia and the GCC?

Yes. GRAIL27 ships from Dubai, UAE, and can arrange tracked delivery for scale model cars and automotive collectibles across the GCC, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman.

Each model is packed carefully to protect the item and original box during transit. Shipping time, cost, and customs charges may vary by country.

How do you package fragile scale models?

We pack every scale model car with collector-level care to help protect both the model and its original box during delivery.

For fragile 1:18 scale models, 1:43 models, resin models, diecast cars, and automotive collectibles, we use secure outer packaging, protective padding, and careful handling before dispatch.

Our goal is simple: your model should arrive safely, cleanly, and ready for your collection, shelf, desk, office, or man cave.

What is the difference between Diecast and Resin models?

Diecast models are usually made from metal, giving them a heavier feel and a more traditional collector experience. Many 1:18 diecast scale models also include opening parts such as doors, hood, or trunk, depending on the brand and model.

Resin models are usually sealed, meaning the doors and hood do not open. However, resin allows manufacturers to create sharper body lines, cleaner shapes, and highly accurate details, which makes it popular for limited-edition collector models and modern supercars.

At GRAIL27, we offer both diecast and resin scale model cars depending on the car, brand, scale, and collector value. Whether you prefer the weight and opening features of diecast or the clean accuracy of resin, both can be great choices for your collection.

Do these models increase in value?

Some scale model cars can increase in value over time, especially limited-edition releases, discontinued models, rare colours, and collector-grade pieces from respected brands.

Models from brands such as AUTOart, Almost Real, MR Collection, Amalgam, Minichamps, LCD Model, Norev, and GT Spirit can become harder to find once sold out, which may make them more desirable in the secondary market.

That said, we always recommend collecting for passion first. Buy the cars you love, the models that mean something to you, and the pieces you’ll enjoy seeing in your collection.

At GRAIL27, we select models based on detail, brand reputation, scarcity, and long-term collector appeal.

Do you offer "Pre-Orders" for upcoming releases?

Yes. GRAIL27 offers pre-orders for selected upcoming scale model cars and automotive collectibles.

Some collector models — especially limited-edition 1:18 scale models, 1:64 drops, motorsport releases, JDM icons, Porsche models, supercars, and rare SUV models — can sell out quickly before they become widely available.

Our pre-order service helps UAE collectors reserve selected upcoming releases in advance, subject to supplier confirmation and availability.

Pre-order timelines may vary depending on the brand, production schedule, and international shipping, but we’ll keep you updated throughout the process.

Are these suitable for children?

Generally, no. Most models sold by GRAIL27 are collector items, not regular toys.

Many die-cast and resin scale model cars include delicate parts such as mirrors, antennas, spoilers, photo-etched details, and small accessories that can break if handled roughly.

We recommend our collector models mainly for display purposes and for ages 14+, unless the product is clearly marked as child-friendly or toy-grade.

I’m buying a gift and don’t know anything about cars. Can you help?

Yes, absolutely.

If you’re buying a gift for a car lover and don’t know where to start, we can help you choose the right model.

Just tell us what they like — for example Porsche, Ferrari, Land Cruiser, JDM cars, F1, supercars, classic cars, or SUVs — and we’ll recommend a scale model or automotive collectible that fits their taste and your budget.

Whether it’s for a desk, shelf, office, garage, or man cave, we’ll help you find a gift that feels personal.

What scale should I choose: 1:18, 1:43, or 1:64?

1:18 scale models are larger, more detailed, and ideal as premium display pieces for a desk, shelf, office, garage, or man cave.

1:43 scale models are smaller and easier to display, making them a good choice for gifts and compact collections.

1:64 scale models are great for collectors who enjoy smaller models, regular drops, dioramas, and building a larger collection over time.

If you’re not sure, message us and we’ll help you choose the right scale model car based on your space, budget, and favourite cars.

Are the photos on your website of the actual model?

Where possible, we use real photos and videos of our actual stock. Some images may also include official brand photos to show details clearly.

For selected collector models, we may carefully open the box for quality checks, photos, or videos. If a model is factory sealed, QC checked, or open-box, we will mention it clearly on the product page.

Are your models brand new or opened?

Most GRAIL27 models are brand new and come in their original packaging.

Some models may be carefully opened only for quality inspection, photography, or video content. The model remains unused, complete, and packed back in its original box.

Do the doors, hood, and trunk open?

It depends on the model, brand, material, and scale.

Many 1:18 diecast scale models include opening parts such as doors, hood, or trunk. Some resin models and smaller scales like 1:43 and 1:64 are usually sealed and do not open.

Please check the product description for each model, or message us before ordering if opening parts are important to you.

Do you offer Cash on Delivery in the UAE?

Yes, Cash on Delivery may be available for selected UAE orders.

Availability can depend on the product value, delivery location, and order details. For high-value collector models, we may contact you to confirm the order before dispatch.

What happens if my model arrives damaged?

If your model arrives damaged, please contact us as soon as possible with clear photos of the model, packaging, and outer delivery box.

For fragile scale model cars and collector items, we recommend taking an unboxing video when opening the package. This helps us review any transit damage quickly and fairly.

We will check the case and assist you with the next steps based on the item condition and delivery details.

Can I request a specific car model?

Yes. If you are looking for a specific scale model car, colour, brand, or limited edition, you can use our sourcing request service.

Tell us the car, scale, colour, brand, or reference photo, and we’ll try to source it through our supplier network.

This is useful for sold-out models, rare 1:18 releases, 1:64 collector drops, JDM cars, Porsche models, SUVs, supercars, and motorsport models.

Do you have a physical store in Dubai?

Currently, GRAIL27 operates online from Dubai, UAE.

You can order directly through our website, contact us on WhatsApp for help, and receive secure delivery across the UAE. Any future showroom, pickup, or display experience will be announced on our website and social media.

Can I see more photos or videos before buying?

Yes. If you want to see more details before buying a model, message us on WhatsApp.

We can share extra photos or videos where available, especially for premium 1:18 scale models, rare collector pieces, and high-value orders.

Do you sell display cases or man cave products?

GRAIL27 is expanding beyond scale model cars into automotive display pieces and man cave collectibles.

This may include display cases, model stands, dioramas, wall art, desk pieces, and garage-inspired decor for car lovers.
