Hey,

I gather. If sams is about $9.99, then bj's wholesale also has them for the same price.

You can get Motormax 1:18 at Wal-mart for $10, but I like the Masito cars froms Sam's better than the Motormax ones. Motormax has some cars that Masito doesnt though.

i've pretty much sworn myself over to AutoArt and Minichamps, and those don't come cheap in any form. GMPs don't either. For cheap brands like Maisto, you can get lucky on Ebay frequently.

You can get a shit load of Maistos at Costco for only $9.99, and im dead serious when I mean 1/18s. But they only come in-season, for the holidays and all.

I really think Costco is the cheapest place to buy 1:18 Maisto's. In NY, they sell these cars for only $9.49!

BJs Wholesale is similar to Costco Wholesale and is one of the leading competitors in the wholesale industry with Costco. It's popular I think more in the Northern and Eastern parts of the US correct me if I'm wrong. But they sell things in the bulk like Costco does, except Costco in my opinion is a billion times better.
