nope $30, but that is cheaper than the 288GTo my wife bought me at Ferrari of Dallas for $50. Of course she didn't have to drive for 2 hours either. |

I wonder if the Tonkin 575 you bought was $11.50 like the one in Ft Worth? |

They had yellow 550B's, red 575M's, and one red 360 Spider. I bought the 360 because the one I have is yellow. Rob is the proud owner of a 2000 F1 car, was $31, I got it for about $20. Will, the La Storicas are $20 each.
Brian, I wrote down 'recent' F1 car for you, didn't know if 2000 was recent or not so didn't buy you one. |

I'm leaving in about 10 minutes, will be there around noon. They have special sales on Thursday, but you never know what is going to be on sale. I've never been there when they didn't have any 1/18 Ferraris, but when I was there in Jan, it was the most I'd ever seen.
If I see any of these cars, I'll pick them up. |

If you haven't left already, I would take a 1:18 F1 car too. Michaels of course. |

Anyway, it sounds like Jim Schad picked up what I'm looking for. The La Storia F1 collection. They're not on sale yet? |

Brian,
The only P3/P4s I have seen in 1:18 are made by a company called Josef. I have never seen any Mattel models of those cars. There is a hobby shop called Wild Bill's in Irving that always a couple of P4s (in red) on the self when I go there. |

Oh, and they had some 1:18 F1 cars from the 2000 series I think. Had 2 cars together for both Shumi and Baracello. They were cool looking, but the ferrari red was almost flourescent orange. They were $30. The little cars are stickered at $9.99, but mine rang up as $12.98 for 2 so I didn't say anything. |

I just went there last Friday. They didn't have any 1:18 scales. They had some tiny ones about 3 inches long of the F40, 355, 512M, Daytona all yellow. I bought the F40. Oh and a silver F50. All 3 inches long. They have a 1966 race car that is about 2 inches long in a flip case for $25. All the 1:18 are NASCAR. She said the inventory changes so could be different today. |

Jim E, look for the La Storia 1/43rd F1 cars are on sale. They are very hard to find know. I hope they dropped in price since last time. |

I'll pay you Saturday as well...
I'm only interested in 1:18's.
What is the price at the outlet for 1:18's?
Assuming its better than Wal-mart pricing...
I'm interested in getting an Enzo, a 246 GTS, a 333SP, a P3 and/or P4, and the recent Formula One car... I think all those only come in red... but if any come in silver, titanium or burgundy, I'd prefer them that way.
I'm also interested in a 550 Barchetta, but only in burgundy (I know it comes in Burgundy, as well as several other colors).
Whenever the 360 Stradale hits shelves, I'll be all over that as well.
One other question... is the pricing better on Thursdays... or do they just have periodic specials on a few things each Thursday? What's the deal there?

Jim,
Do you know if they have any 288 GTO's? 1:18 would be great.
