1:18 scale model ?

I suppose it's poor form to resurrect a thread that's been dead for over 6 years, but I'm curious: are there other good sources for Eos models out there? I've seen the white 1:43 that VW sells through their official store, but that's somewhat small for the price. I've seen only a handful of others, also mostly 1:43, but none from common sellers. Anybody out there find a good deal on a nice model recently? Preferably a 1:18 scale, but beggars can't be choosers.

In my humble opinion, something as small as 1:43 is hardly worth while. Let's face it, a model car that is just 4 3/4 inches long is barely visible.

I agree. I had to double check the size to make sure I understood it correctly. I have a HotWheels (1:64) version of my current Mitsubishi Eclipse, which is even tinier, but for 99¢, I feel it was worth the price. And I recall a collection of 1:18 scale models that I had when I was younger that I'm sure couldn't have been more than $20 a piece. It'd be nice to have a model Eos as well, so I just can't justify ~$60 for a <5" model.

My itch for a tangible Eos should be scratched in a few weeks if my real one arrives at my dealer as currently scheduled
