I've shopped at many sites for model cars. Here's my bottom line, HLJ is by far the lowest in price. But they seem to take extremely long to process and ship out orders. I guess you can't win them all. And ofcourse, another good thing about HLJ is that they have virtually everything.
But for some reason I find myself purchasing from tinyimports.com more than anywhere else. Their prices are fair, but what I like best is they ship out orders almost the next day. Like CamaroSSBoy346 said, you receive your order within 5 days. A few times I've even received my order in 3 days. What I've learned is that they only sell what they have in stock. Well, that's my 2 cents
