i get most of my 1:18 cars at kb toys and most of the Ferraris i bought at wal-mart as a matter of fact they have two black 550 Barchetta Pinifarinas right now as well as a yellow 360 spider. i agree J. the 365GTS/4 is very nice,heavy little thing! WOW Jim $15.00? i thought i was doing good at around $20.00 a piece. |

I've bought a bunch of 1/18 Hot Wheels Ferraris from the Mattel Outlet in Ft Worth. I never pay over $15 for them and have bought a few for $10. EBay is my 2nd best place to shop. I bought a 512bbi for $9.99 plus shipping, it's brand new! Now if they'd only quit raping us for Enzos. |

Kyosho will also make a 308, GTB early next year and GTS a little later. I have an Ansons 328GTS, bought it very cheap in a local toy store. It looks cheap too, but now that it's out of production they ask fantastic prices. Better wait, Kyosho will problably also make a 328 some day in much better quality. |

Douglas, the Hotwheels Daytona is one of the better hotwheels cars, but the new Kyosho Daytona blows it away! |

Jordan; I've bought almost all of my 1:18 Ferrari models off of ebay. But lots of stores carry them like Walmart, etc. But I've found that they get in one shipment of them, and that's it. I'm always checking for new ones, but our stores seem to have a few remianing models that just keep hanging around. Hot Wheels makes I believe 21 different fcars. Some are hard to find at reasonable prices, like the 250 GTO, F355 GTB, 250 Testarossa, 250 GT California, and the 365 GTS/4. The rest are available, and to date I haven't paid more than $24 for any one model including shipping. There is one exception, I got the new Enzo from Europe and that is costing $42. Deals are out there, and I'm always searching. Finding models of the 308/328 will be difficult and expensive as these are not being produced currently, but were back in 1980's. And you will pay dearly for high quality rare brands and unusual models, such as older Ferrari race cars. But once you start it's hard to stop. I currently have 23 different Ferraris that are the most obtainable ones, but now I have to start looking at the big buck models if I want more. Good Luck on your search. |

Where can I find some good 1/18 scale Ferrari models? I saw someone here ordered a 288 GTO from hotwheels? Im looking for some of the older model Ferraris like the 308 (or anything from the 70s and 80s) but I would accept any of them. I gotta add some more Ferrari's to my pitiful Maisto 1/18 car collection! Im tired of looking at these same two F50s! I'd love to order online, so if you guys could list some of the websites you find all your cars. |
