Ya'll check Hobby Lobby if you have them in your area, they are loaded with
them. Also, Toy's R Us usually has a nice array of the Classic Plastic AMX,
SC/Rambler and Machine, bought 5 yesterday, $2.99 each. And no $4.95 ebay
shipping! If you go to the Playing Mantis site, there is a link of 'where to
buy' the toys and you can check to see if thosea rea in your area like
Target. Ther is no Ames in our area, or Service Merchadise or KMarts. Happy
Collecting,
Eddie Stakes
