What I have seen in the stores, the selection is very limited. I built numerous of them when I was growing up. Picked it up from my older brother who also built numerous of them.

The Diner was selling metal models of the shoe box but are sold out. I look at them every time I walk by the window.

I'm always on the lookout for a Mark II.
