Hi everyone!
I'm new to this forum as i just started collecting model cars.
I got only a few at the moment (which I got at costco), but want to expend my collection with cars made by better brands like kyosho or autoart. The only problem is I'm not sure where to get them from. I live in Toronto and yet there are no decent hobby shops around, so I guess i'm left with getting them online. My question to you then, is does anybody here know of a good and reliable Canadian site (Shipping and handling is cheaper that way) for buying model cars at a good price, or any good stores which sell model cars close by?
Thanks!

Welcome to AF VT_90! :wave:
The only site I know of is scale18.com (http://scale18.com/). I know they are based in Canada and I have ordered from them a few times even though I live in the States. I would recommend them. :)

I heard scale18.com is quite good too.... I've not bought any from them yet but it seems that they are really good in pricing and have better than reasonable shipping charge (especially if you buy more than 1)! Of course, eBay is not a bad choice either...
