Just got back from a trip to Germany and I stopped by a toy store in Munich and  
cleaned them out of Herpa Miatas. I ended up with 8 of them, 1 Mariner blue, 3  
red, 2 silver and 2 M-editions (sorry, there were no white cars). I did see a  
couple of red cars elsewhere but this was the only shop that had this many and  
the only Marinier blue one (and I wanted to use my Visa since I was short on  
marks).

I'm keeping the Marinier blue car and I've already promised one of the red ones  
to Bill Allen. I know some other people also asked me to pick one up (like  
Alex) so I'll process their requests first. If I have any left at that point  
I'll offer them up to the net as a whole.

My cost was 7.50dm which comes out to about $4.70 each but I figure I'll cost a  
couple of dollars for postage and some good little shipping boxes.

The model is very nice and well detailed (it even has a set of rear-view  
mirrors that have to be snapped on). They are of the German MX-5 so there is a  
wide licence plate area and no third brake light and the Marinier blue car has  
a tan interior for some reason.

Andy, how much is the shop in Vancouver charging?
