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.
