    I was doing some Christmas shopping and was scouring Replicarz, and EWA Diecast. EWA has their domain, client list, and photo library all for sale. Simple statement saying, "Sorry, we're no longer taking orders." When did they go away?

    About a year ago, a real shame as twenty years ago I BUILT much of my extensive collection with them.

    EXOTO used to also catalog the 1/43rds by Best and Brumm but I don't think they do anymore.....

    EWA was a real brick and mortar stocking/shipping warehouse and they have been out gunned by the Diecast Closeout type web sites....

    Lilliput Motors is still going strong but not in strictly diecast nor depth of inventory of the old EWA catalogs....

    I'm sad too.......

    When I lived in NY I used to take a ride there a few times a years to get some new models. It was a nice little shop.

    EWA is no more!? This is sad news. I've bought several models for myself and my Dad from there.
