The Boca Raton, FL Costco has the Red and Gray C8s in stock now. Bought one of each today. The Reds were in the front of the display setup, and the Gray were in the back. I didn't search for the Orange one, but it may have been in the back as well.
Would anyone that picked up a Costco Sebring Orange C8 be kind enough to take a look at their receipt and either post or PM the Costco item #? I was at the Wesley Chapel, FL Costco yesterday and they had a ton of Maisto cars but no C8's. With the item#, I may be able to ask a manager to track in their inventory system.

Could be wrong but I believe Costco has just one stock#46629 that covers all models.
I wish Maisto would make a version with the Trident Wheels. I don't care what colors - I can change that but I can't make the wheels be something they are not. 22% were ordered with Trident Wheels.
I like to get a model as well, like snappy......but my problem is that I tend to get cars who's colors are not typically made in the colors they make the models....they always make them in RED, BLACK, SILVER, and WHITE.....never seen one Sebring Orange.
Here are the Maisto (Costco) and Topspeed (resin) models. The regular Maisto diecast model is retailing for around $35-50 depending on where you look, so the Costco/Sam's Club $15 prices are an absolute bargain. Same model as that sold online, except for the addition of stripes for the Costco and Sam's 'special editions'. The Topspeed model is resin, and actually heavier than the metal diecast. Resin models are typically more detailed, and this one at $150 is on par with other models in the same price range like Autoart etc. Resin models are usually for static display only and don't have any opening doors/hoods etc. Their windows are also very thin, but look more realistic. So, if you want to play with your model, get the Maisto.
Detail and quality is what you'd expect from the Topspeed model - the Sebring Orange actually has metal flake in it; just like the real color. The Costco Sebring Orange is a solid orange with no metal flake. Other differences that the Topspeed model has are:
Carbon flash on the Topspeed is actually Carbon flash; on the Maisto it's plain black
Visible rear hatch window defroster lines
Molded emblems instead of decals
More detailed interior
Rear parking brake (Maisto has no rear parking brake)
Side windows (Maisto model has no side windows)
Details are sharper due to resin vs. metal
Topspeed available with high wing only, Maisto has Z51 spoiler
Whether or not the Topspeed is worth 10x the cost of the Costco is subjective, but if you want detail, it's got it. The resin model cannot be disassembled, while the Maisto can, if you want to customize the interior.
