Matchbox and Hotwheels cars.

Anyone know a website that sells the new ones at a reasonable price? Ebay didn't have what I was after. I am not actually after a particular rare piece. Just the odd one that my son has left on planes and trains etc.

I have about 2 dozen american Musclecars (HotWheels) they were on display in my shop but have not been driven on the playground.
If you want, I´ll put as many as weight allows in a bubble mailer. Stamnp for unregistered letter to you (up to 500g) is around 4,- €
PM me.

They sell the very same range at my local supermarket of mainly hot rods etc. My son gets about one a week from either myself or his favorate aunty, but I noticed whenever we are out of town they seem to have a slightly different range. Like in a small town overseas they had allot of pickup trucks etc. I am impressed they atleast appear to put some thought into there distribution.

I got all nostalgic a few years ago and hunted down the few matchbox toys I dearly loved. They happen to all be military in nature...but I was quite surprised that I could nab a few new in box toys that I played with in the late 70's and early 80's.
