Toy Tards...
I've been seeing these Maisto scale models of our beloved popping up on ebay lately. Rather than pay over $20 for one, do any of you know which retailers might carry them? I checked the Maisto site, but all their online vendors came up empty.

I used to buy them at wal mart for 2.97 a piece. The selection is hit or miss.
I have a whole box of bikes from the last few years. Pretty much all the ducatis, triumphs, kawasakis and yamahas, plus some others. I had them displayed for a couple of years on my desk....now I'm thinking of selling or giving away the whole lot. Hell, if someone knew a deserving little boy (or girl) that liked motorcycles, I'd probably send him the box.

Sent a PM to you. Great picture!
Anyone else? If I get a few people I might break the bunch into smaller bunches. Who the heck needs 30 or 40 of these things! 
I'm starting to think that we as a group could do a fun toy drive with a motorcycle spin this year. What do you guys think? I'd love to get a young fanbase going!! Maybe we could do a group buy of HyperMotards specifically, and get Ducati in on it. I think I'll shoot an email to Ducati North America. I'm going to PM the site admin too.....

I'm in, I've been looking for a 1:18 scale Hyper to match my 748 (among a bunch of others)
When I lived in Italy I would buy a 1:18 scale Ducati or MotoGP bike on every road trip I went on...it was my little tradition. You can get them everywhere in Europe!
