I need a 1:18 458 Italia, if you are back by there shopping, Will....and the 430 Blue Scud sounds nice, also.. Those 1:43rds are cool, look very much like the ones Shell sold as "Classic" at US F1 events.....
I picked up an Elite 308 GTS today with my 50% off coupon! They have an Elite Enzo Jamiroquai model for $100 which was tempting, but I think I have enough Enzos.
I went back out there yesterday to try to find one of those 308's & maybe a 458. I guess they were in extremely short supply, the best thing I found was the Elite 250 LM #26 Team Georges Marquet Dumay/Gosselin in yellow, those 50% off coupons come in handy. For anyone else that wants to venture out there, MTS will reopen on Jan 11h fully restocked after inventory.
Tex, we have about 20 Red 458's, and about 10 FXX in stock here at the store. (972) 447-5231 ask for Randy.
Yeah, they only had 4 308's there when I went. 3 left after I left there. Just wondering, how do you get those coupons?
Go to www.matteltoystore.com, dig around. There's a place to get put on their mailing list. They'll send them to you every month.
Here's an MTS update for the new year. I went out there in anticipation of finding a Elite 308 or 458 but no such luck yet. Everything has been inventoried & organized & I was told to check back in a few weeks. Anyway, here's some updated photos of the 1:18 & 1:43 section of the store.

Time for a trip out. I was off today. I should have gone but had to work on the son's car.....Thanks for the photos.....
EVERYTHING goes on sale at some point... it is to your advantage to go the last week of every month. They always have coupons which could save a ton. http://matteltoystore.com/promotions/Coupons.aspx
I stopped by yesterday. They had a few yellow 308's and a few Massa 2010 f1 cars for $90 and $80 respectfully. This week has the half off coupon, so you can use it!
Thanks for the call yesterday Kimson, I went out there this morning with a coupon & picked up the 308 ($47.00 w/ coupon) but passed on the F10 & here's my reasons why. $80.00 price point, detail looked sloppy, & completely the wrong color. Way too bright of a red instead of being the correct color. (sorry about the iphone pic, it looks brighter in person) Mattel has done this before & it's really annoying but I don't see how this getting by Ferrari SpA, whatever happened to quality control?

I went up there this afternoon & found some new 1:43's @ $6.99, I don't normally collect these but these were too good of a deal to pass up. Also all Hot Wheels items are 40% until Saturday. Nothing new for 1:18th's yet but hopeful those 458's will start showing up.

With the discount that runs until Saturday they came out to $4.21 per model. I picked two extra 328's so if any one here wants them, PM me for details.
Just wanted to give an update that a majority of the older 1/18th & 1/43rd inventory has been shipped to various southern California stores, I was told the newer items will ship to the Fort Worth location but not sure on the exact date.
