I will echo the sentiments regarding IXO being hit and miss. Not sure why, but most of their hits are the Japanese birds.

Some are so rare and unlikely to be done by others that I bought them, like the He-162. The only decent Russian bird, in my opinion, is the LA-7.

Slammer,
I used to be an insatiable IXO aficionado – until it dawned on me that far too many IXO models are – well, to put this mildly – BUTT UGLY , exclusive or not.

For a completest like me, collecting a bunch of clumsy, execrable, wannabe models was a criminal waste of money. So I quit.

For collectors who cherry pick, though, the line is ideal. Several IXO models are actually quite good. The bottom line is, beauty is in the eye of the beholder: If you like 'em (regardless what anybody else thinks), by all means get 'em.
