Message: Sad to say-- no matter where you might be these days the retail stores featuring diecast cars are all but history. Just a short ten years ago they were all over the place. No more. Rising costs and limited new issues have caused this. In speaking with a rep at KB Toys about four years ago I found out that their costs had risen so sharply that it didn't pay to stock them anymore. Even now KB Toys has become extinct.

Other than Toys R US & FAO Swartz I'm not sure you can find any diecast in Manhattan NY. Anybody? (EOM) by Christopher Moroni #43480.1

Have they? I didn't know that KB is gone by Phil Realmuto #43480.2.1

Oh yeah KB had some great diecast! There was a KB outlet at the Citadel Shopping Center by Steve Jacobs #43480.2.1.1

Steve, I agree with you that KB used to have a great selection by Bob Jackman #43480.2.1.1.1

I'm headed to NYC this week, and I won't even bother to look for diecast. Sad. (EOM) by Tom Joyce #43480.3
