    I buy most of my 1:18 and 1:43 from Motorsportsminiatures.com

    If they don't have it, they can usually get it. Competitive pricing as well.

    Hi William,


    They moved out of Yorkville a few years ago. They are now at Mt Pleasant south of Eglington on the west side. It's before Davisville. That was a great shop.

    CMC Classic Model Cars direct from the Company; it's German, factory in China and has a U.S. representative in Rochester NY. I have both of these models and the detail is beyond belief. Open the boot of Stirling's Mille Miglia-winning 300SLR and you'll see two spare wheels/tires, one 6:00/16 front, 7:00/16 rear, flip open the fuel tank cap and you'll see an infinitesmal tiny copper tube - the tank breather! Even the seat upholstery matches the tartan cloth on the original car. As for the Maserati birdcage, I have models of both the complete car and of the bare chassis without bodywork.

    Ebay and off Ebay through Ebay sellers that have the product (or can get it), but aren't listed on Ebay.

    Another good place is on the messageboard diecastxchange. I've been there for a number of years and the guys post up good deals they find on ebay or other places and you can post wanted ads and usually find what you want.

    Lest anyone think that Morry is the only game in town in Toronto there is also Toronto Motorsports tomotorsports.com
    In the USA we have replicarz.com and motorsportcollector.com while the afore-mentioned motorsportminiatures is mostly 1/43 not 1/18 Steve is a nice guy and can probably get most anything.

    Lilliput Motor Company charges above retail on almost everything - they've been doing that for years. Some items/products like CMC they seem to just stick with full retail - no discount or competitive pricing. We were selling one of our editions to them years ago, and experienced numerous problems with them including their substantially overcharging collectors for our models.
