Did you buy these on ebay? If so, from which country did they ship? Thanks.

Some interesing cars on the website for these but not commonly available (yet) to US buyers and the ones that are have very high shipping from south of the border in my experience. Thanks for posting. The Mexican collection has a some interesting items as well. Somethings to keep an eye on for the future.

These are announced new releases.
I sometimes check the Oficina 43 site to see whats coming down the pike. The Falcon and Mercury are #97 and #98 in the series and it looks like the ones available are up to #88. They release a new one every two weeks.
Sometimes a Chinese seller will offer a few before they hit the market. They sometimes show up in Spain and recently in France too.
There is a seller that offers some of these cars 3 for $36 with free shipping but warns they may be missing pieces. I bought 9 from him and all but one have been intact. Search for 43 piece suit in toys and hobbies.
He also let me pick models from his different offerings.
These cars usually sell in kiosks in Latin America. There are also many listings in Mercado Libre in Mexico and Argentina. The Mexican cars sell between $15 and $25 and the Argentine are higher. Unfortunately the sellers don't ship out of country, There are some ebayers offering to buy stuff as middle men but the prices usually double.

There's a red Argentine Falcon on eBay now for 34.95. Looks good except for one-piece grille
Which lacks much detail and is flanked by headlights with pupils in them. Blackwash will not work and
I will give it a miss. A shame because the rest of what I can see looks nice.
Also I think from the same seller is a v200 Valiant which looks better all round. Seems like a better option than a Trax or a BOS which are more expensive.
