Default Crossfires at Costco - 1/18th scale diecast Maisto

FYI, just purchaced a 1/18th scale diescast model of a Red 2004 Limited Coupe at a Northern Virginia Costco warehouse store. It was $10.99.

Actually, a co-worker bought it for me at the Frederick MD Costco. I wanted two of them, but he only found one after rooting through half of a pallet. Sorry for the confusion.

I plan on stopping at the Fairfax Costco on my way home from work this evening. I'll post my results. The Sterling Costco did not have any Crossfires when I checked there a couple of weeks ago.

The pallet of Maisto cars appeared when Costco began to put out Christmas stuff at the end of the summer (never too early I guess).

Same thing is $10.79 at Costco in Arizona. I bought five of them. The model is virtually identical to the one made by Motor Max that Chrysler used to sell for $31.29 (including tax and shipping) through its Gift Gallery web site, except the spoiler on the Maistro model at Costco doesn't move and the wheels are chromed. That's one minus and one plus for about one-third the price.

Well definitely let me know about the Fairfax, Costco. That is essentially "down the road" from my house, about 10 minute drive! I would love to pick one up for such a great deal!

Sams' club usually gets the Maisto cars in, too. I've been looking, but haven't seen one yet... I'm going to buy a couple and see if I can mod one into a roadster...

I'm going to be in Cincinnati tomorrow and they have a Costco down there. I'll have to check and let you know.

That cause I bought the other one!

It's red with red interior, chrome wheels and a chrome center console... too bad they didn't really come like this.

Picked up 2 more at the Fairfax VA Costco this evening.

There was another one showing at the bottom of the pallet. I'm sure that there may be a few more buried in the pile.

Don't forget the Chantilly Costco. They might have them as well.

Happy hunting everyone.

Do they have a white one? I searched many places, but I guess Maisto did not make any in white color, nor does any other makers. Except I only found one in white color but is made by Motormax, which is not very detailed and looks funny, the scale is off and rough.
**Anyone find a white one please let me know, thanks.**

Wow, they look nice and have a great price. I hope our local Costco has them in stock.

Wow, thanks for the link, I just one-clicked one from Amazon.com. It was in Graphite with two tone red/grey interior...just like mine...That's the only one they had. Nice luck!

Now, who can make 1/18 diecast replica emblems for this thing. ;-)

Costco in Cincinnati had a ton of cars, but no Crossfires. If anyone finds a red one and would be willing to pick it up for me (I'll gladly pay for shipping if reasonable - folks on eBay want $13 - $15 for shipping alone!).

PM me and let me know.

Thanks!

Love Costco. I guess that's good... 'cause I work there. I didn't see any xfires in that pallet of diecast cars though. I'll have to take another look.

Don't know how the Crossfires are allocated, but I found two in Fort Worth. It took a bit of digging and the pallet was pretty full. There may have been more of them. The two I found were red. I bought one. Wish I had found the graphite - like my own. The red XFIRE will still look cool on my office desk!

The only ones I have seen are red limited coupes with chrome wheels.

don't be in a hurry the price is still dropping on Crossfires and there's still the left over 06's (models to dump) auction probably by Toys are US! haha.
