Hardly, don't have space for all the ones I'd like to have... just a few.

Default Was over at Ferrari of Washington the other day...

and they have quite a selection of Ferrari stuff in their shop. 1:24, 1:18 and larger. Some really nice stuff I haven't seen before. Lego stuff and much more. I'm sure they'll charge a premium, but if you gotta have it, you gotta have it.

Default 1:18 are the one's to have...

if you're starting a collection. most nice hobbie shops should have them though it's best to get online/ebay. I have about a dozen.

Default 1:18 best for cars, 1:12 for motorcycles....

Minichamps are the best affordable (<$100)quality models IMO. My favorite: Rothman's Porsche 956.

Default go on ebay and get an idea of what you're looking for....

if quality's not a huge issue (read interior,engine bay detail) go with Maisto or Universal Hobbies/Eagles.

Default I meant 1:18s. I have a few, but now I'm doing it for the boys. I have the R8 race car,

TT Roadster, Starsky & Hutch Torino (personal reasons) and I found a C320 Mercedes which is as close as I could get to my car.

It's amazing that there are so few comprehensive online places to buy them. Best place I've found is exoticar.com.
