I was out and about this afternoon, on a service call and thought why not stop by Toys R Us, only to learn they no longer carry NASCAR, die cast or collectibles other than Hot Wheels and Matchbox, I was like WTF?

I know the feeling, I can't find a truck, r/c car or anything like that with a superduty body.

And a shame what shipping is on some of these collectibles on the net and in magazines.

I know, and try getting things shipped overseas. Everything I want to send my son in Germany(way too long of a story) is some times impossible.

Well I always look there but never find what I am looking for. Everything is a Dodge or a F-150. Does anyone know where to look for bodies for real r/c cars. I have a clodbuster I want to put a SD body on for shows but can find a body that is close to mine.

I have been seeing these GreenLight Mustangs on ebay lately, walked into a K-Mart this afternoon and bought the entire rack.

I've been having trouble finding plastic model kits. All I want is an F-150 and a concrete mixer, similar to mine, but the coolest hobby store around my area closed down. I even made a special trip, and poof! Nothing.

I guess I'll have to find somewhere else. Perhaps a trip to Seattle is in order on my next weekday off (c'mon rain!).
