tried ebay?

had thought, but id rather get something reputable rather than a cruddy "unknown" from ebay :x

there are lots of brand-name die-casts on ebay, usually at much lower prices than in the stores.

if not, the most Model/RC shops ought to have what you're looking for.

Hmm, sorry for the nubness here, but what are the common brand names for diecasts?

Autoart seem to be a common one?

I noticed that they sell some in the Lotus showrooms. Presumably so the kids can get a new toy when daddy does!

AutoArt are a VERY good range to go for.

They are expensive but the larger scale models ie (1:18) have amazing detail on the models.

Kyosho are very good - but ive only seen a few of their 1:43 scale models - minichamps are also a good make.

But from all 3 (i have models from all) AutoArt i would say are by far the best for detail.
