Default Where to get Diecast models?

I am looking to get some more models for my collection. I collent in 1/18 scale, and so far I have a Lamborghini Reventon, and a Porsche Carrera, among other junkers my dad bought for me (H2, Truck, DeLorean).

Where is a good place to buy them. Or the cheapest. I find local places are very expensive like PM Hobby, anyone know of any good places on the net?

Thanks.

Edit: And if anyone can find me a Koenigsegg CCX anywhere let me know!! I can't find any anywhere.

ebay is always good, although there are a lot more 1:24. Also check places like Zellers,Peavey Mart, True Value hardware (if you have one near) even sometimes places like Superstore, Extra Foods will have some, usually quite cheap.

If you eventually want to get into more expensive ones, places like

http://www.collectablediecast.com/

http://www.diecastmodelswholesale.co...let/StoreFront

http://www.3000toys.com/

If you do a google search for collectible diecast you will find hundreds of places to buy them.

good luck with your collection!

You could probably have some luck visiting the local farmers markets too. Crossroads has a big section of non-food retailers.
