Slowly but surely I have been trying to get into the model car scene, buying some 1:18 scale models and then getting into 1:24 model building, but I have a question whatever happened to Exoticar/Hollywood Model cars? Also what is a good 1:18 model car shopping online store?

In your honest opinion how much has the scene changed since 2002, I think it's going somewhat downhill, I went to New York in 2000 and waltzed in the Exoticar store out there, which was the best feeling ever at that time, but as usual prices goes up, not a whole variety of cars left, I don't even know what's new anymore...
