where are all the die-cast models?

local dealer said they too were on backorder for an indeterminate amount of time. i know they had enough to take pretty catalog pictures. not much on ebay but old stock.

anyone got a line on that?

i'd like a few black&blue ones.

My dealership had to order my bumblebee one, but it came in under a week. I believe it's the middle size, but I'm not sure. Now it proudly sits on top of the wall of my cubicle, as I got sick of everyone wandering around going "who owns that cute little car?" and thought I'd stick up a signpost!

Maitos makes the 450 model in 1/18 scale. Haven't seen the 451s yet.
