Generally speaking, I buy all mine online. If I have to have it now I use an online diecast store like diecastmuscle. If it is something that's been out a while I use ebay. There is only one actual store in my area and they are an hour away and charge way too much so....

I stay away from Hobby stores they charge way too much for Diecasts.

I make the rounds:
Walmart
Target
K-Mart
KB Toys
Toys-r-us
Fred Meyer (local)

If I can't find it there, I go to Ebay.

If there is a KB toys outlet, that is the best prices I have found. I picked up a 1999 C5 Vert 1:18 scale for $9.99.

How often have you been able to buy a GMP, Exoto or AutoArt model at these locations? Is price your only consideration?

I have not found GMP, Exoto, or Auto Art. Mostly Maitso, Hotwheels, Greenlight, and Matchbox. I buy the better Diecasts either online or at swap meets/shows.

Price is not my main concern, but I like don't like to over pay for stuff. We have Hobby stores here in Oregon that charge $30 plus for 1:18Maitso, Hotwheels, and etc. I don't begrudge them the business, I just think I can spend my money better. I also don't have the addiction bad enough yet to spend hundreds of dollars on one diecast.

IMO,
Patrick
