Best place to buy 1/64 or 1/43 cars
Discussion
On holiday a few weeks ago at a villa in Spain, complete with large box of mixed (and well worn) toys, I found out that my 18 month old son loves toy cars, particularly 1/64 and 1/43 models that he can hold easily.
We have already bought him plastic "baby friendly" cars, but held off buying proper metal cars as we thought he was too young for them.
Keen to indulge him and buy him some more, but where is the best place to buy? The obvious places (Amazon, Tesco, Toys R Us) don't seem to have much of a range. eBay has plenty of choice, but is hard work to trawl through.
Happy to buy online or from a physical store in SW London/Surrey area. Obviously not looking for top end "collector" quality models, just bog standard Hot Wheels and Matchbox stuff.

ebay is great for me.
I also use

Now and again for more expensive stuff.
I collect model F1 cars in 1/43..and always find ebay is full of bargains.
Buying a car for £10 when it sells for £39.99+ in the shops is great fun.
