Found in another thrift store grab-bag, one of the few Siku I now own. Can probably count them all on one hand of fingers. Nice car.

Are Siku hard to find there? I have a terrible time finding them here. I think there is one shop downtown Seattle that has them, and I can forget finding them in flea markets.

Of the thrift store makes I found, I find absolutely NONE of these in stores - Welly, Yatming, Siku, etc. in Virginia, USA I don't know where these people get them ( do the Hispanic supermarkets carry diecast toy cars, and if so, what kind? How about oriental supermarkets? I never go in either, maybe that's the source...). It's always bothered me that I can find these cars at flea markets and thrift stores, but how come never in a REAL store? WHO is marketing them? WHO is selling them? They gotta be making it to the USA market somehow. But HOW?! Frustrating. Definitely NOT in Dollar stores that I've found, usually the horrendously cheapie diecast that are melted-looking and you can't even tell what kind of car they are. Someday this mystery will be solved, but until then, I'll keep hitting flea markets and thrift stores.

That would be Magic Mouse Toys, right? I went there a few years ago and they had quite a few, I think.
