    Most of my collection comes from the Mattel outlet store here in Ft. Worth. A couple of years ago I found some 1/18 scale Ferraris at a local toy & hobby club meet, picked up a white 348 TS in box for $5. I also doesn't hurt to check out some garage sales either.

    I used to buy from a Hobby Town close to my house, but then the owner gave me some BS about "Ferrari not letting anyone make models anymore" - Not sure how he was able to say that and keep a straight face - I haven't been back since. There was also a model shop called "Cars the Star" at Crown Center which was good, but they literally vanished overnight. So, now I have to buy all them from the internet. I've got a couple of ebay sellers that I try to buy from.

    I get mine direct from Mattel. If I can't get it from them direct, I get them from Speed Gear. But then I don't pay retail for them either.
