nice score
Yeah the good stuff is getting waay to expensive now
Local stores selling 1:24 for the price of 1:18 when I started collecting....inflation, I suppose, but the day of $250 Maisto 1:18 is long gone

Yes 1/18. Bburago so the quality isn’t the best. But I think the E-Type is the most beautiful car ever built.....after the Mini of course....

Now that is a classic. Why don’t you take your models out of the original boxes and display them?

You’ll need a pretty big (and secure) garage to display all of these models.

I’m not sure you can find these locally.
I live in Calgary so I buy most of my models either on the used market (Kijiji) or on eBay.

All my Jags were bought locally. You need to hunt all the Toymart stores and see if any still have stock. Otherwise, ebay
