Who has a model smart (and where did you get it)?

Howdy all
I was wondering

Who out there has a model(s) of a smart

And WHERE did you get it? (and how much?)

I was at the DC auto show last week and saw a vendor that had a BIG model (1:12 scale?). But, by the time I got there to actually buy one, they were all gone? (Boo Hoo)

I know the dealers either have (or can get) itty bittty models (1:43) matchbox/hotwheel size models (1:36) and slightly larger (1:24) models?

I have also seen a remote control smart model on youtube that I would like to get?

Any help is appreciated.

1:18

I have 1:18 scale that I purchased from smart round rock. I think this is the largest model smart sells through dealers.

I have a 1:18, and a really small model. Got them at Smart of Merriam Kansas. The 1:18 is very detailed. Give SrSwatch a ring on this site. He has a lot of models to sell.

Round Rock gave (not sold) me my 1:18 blue/silver cabrio.
RR said that the manufacturer might be stopping production on them all together!

Have you done a Froogle? I think there are some on eBay. Here are the results from Froogle for 'smart car model'. I had found an rc model of the Smart car but it was out of stock. I gave them my e-mail address so they could inform me of it coming in.

I was told that there were a couple of Smart cars on the latest cd from Terrys Models. One could print them out and fold them.

It is not seen in this photo but I was told it was on the latest cd.

On eBay, I think they're more like $30. With shipping.

You could pick up a 451 (08' smart and 09') from your local dealer with possible different scales to choose from, plus they come with interchangable body panels, working doors and tailgate, steering, and are very detailed.

You could pick up one from eBay but they'll most likely be the 450 (07' smart and earlier), and they could be less detailed or even be damaged
