Weirdly enough at the same time the quality of their 1:43 and 1:18 Ferrari models has gone up to basically AutoArt standards lol...

didnt buy this at costco. bought it at another smaller shop in states! the nicer maisto cars are very hard to find at the big chains selling these cars.... usually the smaller shop have the nicer cars.

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

Discovered this page yesterday.. thought it was super neat
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Scree...95530690509443

custom adv1 wheels made to fit 1:18 scale models, so sick lol
so expensive though, $60 for a set..

however, he said "plastic" models are being released in February which will be significantly cheaper, i think i will get couple sets by then, alot of my diecast cars are missing wheels due to my little cousin playing around with them, this could rescue them up nicely
