Default Die cast

So shoot me. I know this is in C-5 section.
The C-7 die cast 1-18 scale are available at Sams clubs and Costco.
About $13.00.
Our local Sam's had only black and blue, but I understand others have red too.

Got the Crystal red C7 at Sam's, then couldn't stop picking up other hot cars, walked out with 9 others.

Whoa! Mine was about 1/3 of that...it's marked 'AutoArt' but ISTR getting it on sale through Exoto.

Still a far cry from $13 though.

It's actually pretty darn good.

It ain't a Rolex, but it's at least a Sieko.
