Hmmmm.......We went to a old hobby shop a week ago. This was, back during the NASCAR explosion, one of the biggest shops in the country. They now are buying back collections as folks age and/or downsize. The 'new in box' 1/24 die cat are $5 and slow moving, 1/64 are $1 each and the 1/18 are $8 to 10 each. So good luck to him.....he'll have die cast in his store for years I bet.
The movie stuff will be a little easier.
