Hi, Are they selling ferrari 1/18 diecast in southern california area aswell? Please let me know Thanks Arvi [email protected]
This is only in Ft. Worth. You'd have to venture to the outlet in CA to see. Different management = different prices.
I just called every mattel stores here in southern cal. none seems to carry the diecast here. is there anyway i can order models and pay thru paypal? if i get a good deal. im interesten in f1 models and ferrari models please let me know Thanks Arvi
I went back over there this morning to get the Elite 430 Challenge cars for $20.00 but something very strange happened. Just as I walked in & was about to reach for them a Mattel rep said that these cars also with the 599 red & blue Panamerican, 612 china tour, etc. will not be sold to me or anyone else. I asked why but she would not say only that the cars must be removed from the shelves ASAP. She seemed to be in some sort of frantic over this. About that time a worker bee from the warehouse came out & started loading up this large cart with them. The only thought that came to mind is the lead paint issue Mattel is having with many of it's products but never got a response from management. I'll try to get some more info on this if I can.
Perhaps the lead paint models will become more collectable. See if they have anything radioactive. Cha-ching !
As long as myself plus countless other FChatter model collectors don't put these in our mouths we should be OK.
The lead is especially common in red paint as it makes the paint brighter, apparently. I have a red 360 made in China it sits on the shelf. I think I'll be alright as long as I keep it out of my mouth.
Went by today.. they have all of their 1:18 scale cars 30% off regular price. They have a range of the 60th Tour models (non-Elite) all priced $19.49 or so before the discount. I picked up a non-Elite F430 and Superamerica for $13.99 each. As far as Elites go, they had a China tour 612, a silver 599, one Franck Mueller FXX, challenge 430 and 360s, @ $90.00 before discount, 'cept for the silver 599, it's $69.99. No F1 cars of any make/model. 30% off ended today. There are coupons on the outlet website. Current one is 20% off Toy Store specials.
At the Mattel store today: all 1:18 430 Coupe Red FXX Red Elite 250 GTO Red Elite 430 Challenge 575 Superamerica Red 60th Anniversary silver F40 60th Anniversary Red 125S? Help me out Will, the one you had at lunch the other day 60th Anniversary Red F50 (top on) Others that I can't think of.
They were $19.something with a sale going that had them for 13.something. Not sure if that sale is still going on. Of all mentioned, 430 was the scarcest with only a half dozen or so remaining. The rest of the models, greater than a dozen in stock.
If anyone happens to be in the neighborhood of Mattel, and will then be near Irving by 5:00 tomorrow, pick up a 430 for me. My youngests bday is tomorrow.
They were among those the were 'yanked from Will's hands'......no mattter, I'm out of display area and the closet is stacked up too! I'm pretty much 'done' until I can give some away or something...LOL!
I went out there this morning, pretty much the same stock with one exception. Elite series 250 GTO in red, no price on it though.
On Sat, Mattel store had... FXX (Red) F430 Scuderia(Red, Blue) F50(Red) 575 Superamerica(Red) 250 GTO(Elite, Red) F430 Challenge edition (Elite, race) F430(Red) Supposedly there's a diecast store near downtown Dallas. Anybody know where it is and what it's called? Thanks
