eBay

 

A friend reffered me to someone that has a warehouse selling diecasts. I called the guy right away to see if I could stop by his shop/office since he was located 20 miles away from me. There I found rows of shelves nothing but 1:18's, from mucle cars, HW, Maistos, and a few Ferraris. I got AutoArts for $32, HW Stradales for $15 (I got 3), I went nuts.. Like a kid at a candy store I think he may have stop selling diecast, their business phone been disconnected...

 

Any Anniv. Edition AA Murcielagos? If so, I want one...I'll pay you to ship.

 

the last 2 models I got were the Kyosho F40 and Tamiya Enzo, both 1:12 scale. Best deals I could find around was TowerHobbies.Com

 

A comment that i wouldn't have though would ever have existed.

I bought my Enzo off Ebay. Saved me $100's if i bought from tower.

 

ebay, especially if you order more than one and save on shipping. You won't have to look very far.

 

I've got 2 of that one, really nice - one for display and the other stored away, might sell it in a few years time, the price on this model is already starting to take off

 

I've got about 160-170 1/18 Ferraris and Lambos and 90% of them comes from ebay.de (germany) there you'll find models as low as 1 Euro but I know the shipping cost to Australia might be a bit expensive, so I do suggest you figure out that first

Here is a cool tip of how you can be lucky to find a cheap model:
just search for:

Ferarri 1/18, Ferrarri 1/18, Ferari 1/18, Ferrai 1/18 - you might skip the "1/18" but still you might find a lot of intresting stuff - if you're into Lambos, type Lamborgini, without the H

Good Luck

 

What do you think the Bugatti's prices will do? It's not as much of a limited edition as the SE40 Murci, but they're still individually numbered and such? Any chance it would climb, do you think?

 

I saw a few Tamiya plastic models at Frys for $50. Is Tamiya plastic worth it?
