Over the past several months, the model companies have been catching up from the supply chain delays that have effected everyone for the past couple of years. Our first quarter 2023 deliveries totalled more than half of all of 2022 and more large shipments are expected over the next couple of months. As a result, we are rapidly running out of space. To make room for the new arrivals, we are offering a 20% discount on more than 50 different in-stock 1/18 scale models from TopSpeed for the next 3 days.

Only 1-2 available on most items. You can check out the entire list HERE. 

Sale ends Thursday, May 4 at 10:00am. If you are using PayPal, your order must be completed within 24 hours of entry.

We’re in the process of changing phone companies and our soon to be former carrier prematurely disconnected our 800 service. Hopefully this will be resolved in a few days when we welcome the Unfair Advantage.

In the mean time, you can still reach us at 630.515.1440 or via email at Paul@MotorsportCollector.com.
