    I remember back when I was younger, every where you went there were 1/18 die cast. Ferraris, Lambos, Porsche, etc. Now I can't find a single place in Houston that sells exotic die cast. Lots of muscle cars but no exotics. Can anyone point me in the direction to these model cars? I have called a few hobby shops but no one carries them. To be more specific I am looking for a 1/18th Murcielago for my girlfriends son. His birthday is tomorrow and YESTERDAY he decided to say what he wanted. So I was trying to find a place today so I could go tonight or tomorrow morning. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Lamborghini dealership in Houston?

    I know Boardwalk Lamborghini in Dallas has had those models...selection may vary day-to-day, but they have them.

    When I thought about them it was too late and no one was there. So I may try tomorrow. I saw on their site that they had Lambo merchandise for sale but it was belts, shirts, umbrellas etc. Maybe they just didn't post the models. We'll see, thanks. Anyone else?

    I have a light blue 360 Modena by Burago & a black F50 by Maisto for sale if you're interested.

    I have more, just let me know what model you're looking for. I just sold my last Ferrari Enzo. I do have a yellow & orange Murcielago. Just give me your e-mail and I can send you pics.

    Thanks for the help, I called BigTex and he told me to check Traders Village. I didn't think about it but I went over there and there was a little hobby shop that had a few. So I was able to pick one up and give it to him for his birthday. Thanks again.

    Most "Hobby Town" stores in Texas still sell 1/18th scale diecast.
