Do they have also better brands like Autoart or Kyosho during those sales?

As for the CGT, I saw the 60 USD one in my local shop, but a quick search just brought this to my attention... -> LMAO.. it is a CGT with working head and tail lights.. I didn't really notice in the shop

I believe that the only cars I've seen at those Costco X-mas sales are for Maisto and a few ERTL and Tonka products...and maybe a Road Legend or two. The Maisto cars are certainly the highest detail of the bunch, though I'm prone to taking them home, stripping them bare and carving new parts and detailing them more realistically. The quality of Maisto models has improved quite a bit in the last couple of years...to the point where I think that they are better than Bburago except perhaps in terms of paint finish, but that's somewhat debatable.

As for the CGT that costs $60 usd (with lights and infrared control) I can only assume that that is because of the shipping costs and the fact that EWA wants to make a profit (whereas I don't) They can be found on the US version of Ebay for $35-45 usd.

Well I'm sure the price was about the same in the store I visit since it was way closer to the price of an Autoart than a normal Maisto still well, no idea why you will need working lights on your model LOL

And yes I think some of the latest Maisto models are not that bad and there are nice cars that are done by them only, still, I prefer to stick with other brands when possible thanks for the offer man! Anyway sadly shipping costs would make what you are suggesting quite less cheap: to send a single 1:18 car would cost in the 20 USD, so the final result will be more expensive than the price we have over here

Here is one of my cars.. i have had it for many years.

It is from the Michael Schumacher Collection and is a 1:18 Ferrari F300 8)

Sorry about the pics.. the red didn't come out too well without the flash, but that just gave shadows at the edges of the pictures becuase the flash was so close to the car

I know the designers of TVR's also make model Cars of TVR's down side a set of 3 of them cost like £97, but thats life. And if you want the best you need to pay the cash.

Use the macro mode on your camera.. it has a shape like a flower.. it lets you do close ups with lots of focus ... that's presuminy you are using a digicam

The Alfa is a brilliant car... please take some nice pics
