Anyone know of a place where I could special order a particular 1:18 scale die cast Maisto model car?

I found a particular one on their website, but haven't seen it anywhere in stores. Is there a specialty place that can order particular ones for me?

Thanks!

Did you try PM Hobby? I know they can get just about any die cast model.

Lots of the toy stores have them too. Like Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Superstore. From what I've seen though, the hobby shops have way more selection.

Which one are you looking for though Davan? I have TONS of those 1:18 scale die cast cars at home...

Importz, I just sent you a PM.

I'm not really a fan of ebay... I like to actually see the product before I spend money.... just me.

The one I want is Maisto 1:18 Special Edition - Mercedes Benz C-Klasse SportCoupe #31614

The car I'm gonna get next year! :)

I just found it online at Sharperimage.com But they want 33 USD for it! That's pushing 50 bucks! In store, they are usually only 25-35...

Yeah, if you actually check out a few of those stores mentioned by HRD2PLZ, you might actually find it there cheap, about $20. Whereas if you special order them from hobby stores, it could cost around $80. Unless of course the particular model you're looking for is harder to find, in which they probably wouldn't be in those stores...

I've checked out many toy stores, walmart, superstore ect... (actually picked up a clk dtm at superstore for 22 bucks) But haven't been able to find this one.

I may just have to bend over and buy it for 33 USD........
