Steve.....there are 3 Rite Aid Pharmacy stores very near to me and each has a display of loose diecasts, mostly by Welly. Each display usually contains 6-8 1:24th models and I have found that some of them are actually pretty good. Some are a little under scale (a Welly problem since they are marked 1:24), but a good number of them measure out to 1:24th. Not DM or FM by any means, but well worth the $9.99 in many cases. You just need to look carefully because, being loose, some do get damaged. I have purchased 8 or so in the past year - various model years from the 50's through about 2007. "Little cheapies" that fit in ok within reason.

Richard, the ones I've seen(Hobby Lobby) are very nicely boxed. They're labeled as Welly / Nex. Box is green/silver. Ck out my post#25011.1 @ the 1/18 Forum.
