If anyone finds any extra of the 3 white Skyline box set, please get one for me. I will gladly pay for shipping and throw in a few bucks. I refuse to pay $50 + shipping for one off of eBay.

Edit: The Target exclusive R32 2-pack as well...

Haven’t seen any of those yet.
 
Can someone tell me what would be best online store to buy individual cars and that has international shipping and reasonable prices?

So far I have bought some of the Ebay, but I doubt that is the best place to find cars that I want.

I mostly collect Hot Wheels, Tomica and Matchbox but depending of the model, might consider other brands aswell.

I have few Greenlight, Siku, Majorette and M2 Machines aswell, but no knowledge of Mini GT´s or Johnny Lightnings.

I buy most of my models from AmiAmi. The prices are reasonable and their service is second to none. Highly recommended.

I've bought from ck-modelcars.de a few times. I'd recommend it.
 
Took a vacation trip to California for Monterey Car Week. Flew into LA first to visit the Petersen Auto Museum as well as a diecast store in LA. The Pagani Zonda R was actually from the official Pagani vendor at Laguna Seca during Monterey Motorsports reunion. Even got a free Pagani bag with it. :D

After LA, drove up to Marina, CA to be near Monterey and looked up diecast stores in the area (ish) and drove to San Jose for another vendor. All the HWs were...overpriced (GT-R 3-pack was $70! And the two car premium sets were $30 each). Did grab these Inno64 and Hobby Japan models.

Finally got home last week and decided to check out the local Targets to see if they had the premium two car sets. Sure enough, managed to find them. Albeit each store (of the three I visited) had just one of the sets.

In other diecast news, the new Team Transport sets got my motorsports fancy.


And the next premium set will have the Sauber Mercedes! Still have yet to find the GT-R set.
 
Oh yay another set I won’t find, none of the stores I’ve been too have Boulevard series on the shelves. Ive haven’t seen them since the Lancia O37.
 
Am I the only one who has noticed the shelves at Walmart are bare nearly every time they go in? Not just the toy section. :lol:

I had fond memories there. I frequent the store whenever I go to HK.

Also, still can't forget that I accidentally barged in a Tarmac Works office meeting, thinking it's a separate store.

Wish they would have given us a different livery on the GT3 instead of an exact duplicate of the previous release.


That C9 is the best Hot Wheels cast I have ever seen.

A clearance sale? I can't miss out on that!
 
Whilst most people I heard say the Subaru Forester was hard to find from this case, I couldn't find the Hilux for the longest time. Had to go out of state to find it. Also local Targets/Walmarts barely updated HW/MB, but I managed to find the new Muscle Machines at Target. Quite like the design, but there will be a Countach, F40, 993 RWB, GT40, and 240Z coming in the future. Also never found the JL 2-pack until today.

Not sure if I should post it here or in the Scale Model thread. Finally found the GM Micro Machines months after finding the Bugatti set at Five Below at Target.

I was going to say that I would like that GM set. But the cars aren't as "exact scale models" as the originals, like I have. I'll stick to the much more Trans Am looking Trans Am I already have. It looks similar to this:
