Where To Search For These?    (Score: 1, Normal) 09-02-2012 14:14

For some reason, today, I started to scrounge around the 'Net to find die-cast models of my past and current Hondas. They are:

1. 1994 Civic EX Sedan in Torino Red Pearl--the Dragon Civic Vti model in "Metallic Red" looks close enough.
2. 2000 Accord EX V6 Sedan in Taffeta White--couldn't find any 6th-Gen Accord 4-doors of any kind.
3. 2006 Accord EX-V6 NAVI in Carbon Bronze Pearl--I've seen some examples of the Inspire Sedan out there. I could have SWORN I've seen some post-MMC 7th-Gen Accord examples out there.

My biggest question is where to begin? Is E-Bay my only option? What "die-cast houses" are available on the Internet? Does Honda itself put out any models of their cars, and if so, who can I contact?

I did find one site, http://www.megamo.hk, which has an amazing array of models from all sorts of makes, including Honda--no choices in colors, but the level of detail looks great! (Hell, they've even got a Basque Red-ish CrossTurd on there, not to mention Accord sedans from pre-and-post MMCs on the 8th-Gen!) We're talking working gloveboxes on some of these, fercryinoutloud!

Again, I'm wondering if there's any way to avoid the Googling around (which usually gets me nowhere) to find any of these models?

I know a site with 3 different versions of the dragon vti for sale.
Postage could be on the high side though.

But they are 35 euro each. (two colors red, and a blue/green color)
