Modelissimo.de
This dealer may have more models for sale than Carmodel.it. They have a big sale on now with a few models at 5 euros and over 100 at 10 Euros.
In an article I wrote for a magazine about 1995 I said that Minichamps put out so many models that no one person could keep track of them all. It would take a club to do it. Then they were making mostly 1/43 scale. Now they make many scales and many motorcycles, etc. A big club is needed. I have not found this club. Now several other companies have almost as many as Minichamps: Atlas, Ixo (some overlap here), HPI, DelPrado, etc.
I want to buy a lot of Ixo Museums at 10 Euros but I would like a dealer in the States so postage is a lot less.

Atlas is publishing house for partworks, like De Agostini and Altaya
There is also Fabbri and Del Prado. Between the five of them there about 10 thousand different models, ranging from really poor to excellent. They don't have the boxes though, although some series came with plastic cases.

Yes, I know.
Somebody made a list of about 22 Part Works companies.
