FYI, Big Lots has a sale on 1:18 die-cast cars for $9.99 each until 11/9. Here's a pic of my haul from tonight. :D Most of the cars are Hot Wheels, except for the Z (which is a Yat Ming brand). Please post your finds here. :cool:

Thanks for the find PHOEN$X. But why do you have to post this thread so late that I read it at 9:30PM when the store is already closed!!! :D

Gotta check tomorrow.

Sorry buddy, just wanted to make sure you slept on it before spending your hard-earned $$$! ;) (Besides, shouldn't you be working on the November calendar? :p)

Here's the actual page from the ad.

Blue Knight,
The old Pic N Save stores were rebranded as Big Lots! a few years ago. They still look the same inside.

Funny, Big Lots used to be MacFrugals here. Anyway, they have good closeout sales sometimes, and they mail the ciculars directly to my house so I always keep an eye open for interesting deals such as these. I got my BBurago Countach there as well as the Road & Track NSX.

My brother is a Ducati fan, so he picked up the 996 model of that as well:

A sick addiction...

Went to a different Big Lots today, and picked up a few more pieces :D. Also got a 2004 sports car calendar for $0.99. Reminds me, my local Costco and Sam's Club warehouses are selling 1:18 Maisto cars for $10 apiece. Got me a silver '03 Mustang Cobra vert from Costco.

thanks for the info, randy....i've never shopped at any of those above mentioned places or even know of their existence until today.....

i found at least another dozen big lots stores within a 30 mile radius....

my search continues tomorrow....

i see that my collection so far matches very closely with everyone else's....i still need to get the yellow F-50.....

Where did you get that white NSX? Who makes it?

The White NSX is made by Kyosho......and has been discountinued for a long time already.....but it does pop up on ebay once in a while but doesn't go for anything less than $80..... i would buy more if it's under $80 :)

Saleem S7

almost bought the F575MM but the line at big lots was just too freakin long.....time is $$$

i managed to find 5 big lots around my area.....
 
Man, what an exhausting hunt! I hit 4 Big Lots, and got all these (not pictured is another Ferrari 333SP I picked up today for my bro). I never did find a 360 though. :(

i'm going to try to hit a few more big lots today.....the supply is getting low everywhere i go now. i'm lucky to find any of these.
there was one particular store that had almost nothing left....only a bunch of lime green murcielagos......

it's so hard to find the yellow F-50 and F-40s....
