1:18 Lamborghini Gallardo
In my small town of about 7000 people, a brand new store just opened called Extra Foods on Tuesday. They mainly sell groceries and whatnot, but I overheard some people saying they have a toy section. Well today I was out driving and started wondering if they sell diecasts. I decided to whip by to check it out.
When I got to the toys, I found some 1:18 scale 911 Turbo Cabriolets, Nismo 350z's, Maserati Spyders, and a nice Maisto Gallardo (which I had never seen anywhere except for in hobby stores where they sell for outrageous prices). I looked for the price, and it was $15  (Approx. 10 USD) Compare that to Wal-Mart's $30-40 price range. Needless to say, I picked it up in a few minutes. They also had 1:24's for 5 dollars such as a '66 Chevelle and an R34 Skyline. Next time.The car is basically just your average, run-of-the-mill Gallardo, but I figured I would show it off anyways  So, on with the pictures!       Any comments and/or feedback will be appreciated.

How big is the shifter? Did they correct it?

Re: 1:18 Lamborghini Gallardo
In real life, the shifter would be about a foot long with a softball sized knob on the top
 So, needless to say, no. They did not fix it. I was thinking about making my own shifter and glueing it in. Seems like it would be very easy.

This is correct..I couldn't get a good picture of the paint. I guess I could take a video of the light reflecting off the paint, but that might be kind of excessive..

Re: 1:18 Lamborghini Gallardo
Yo IImportSupra, do you really live in Rialto CA? Because if you do, you practically live right down the road from me.
Anyways, that is a great find for about 10 dollars

I picked one up a while ago, and lemme say the pictures don't do the paint justice.
