Hi there! Hope all is well :) Did you ever end up purchasing any additional maquettes from the Archives collection. Wondering what is up for the spring release! We got the original batch and absolutely love them! Gallery of the Lakes was great with shipping them and offering a great intro package to the collection. I saw on twitter you are collecting the Precision Series Cars. How do you get notified of the upcoming releases? Is there a particular vendor you use when purchasing the sets? After visiting California's Radiator Springs... we are definitely interested in starting this collection. How are you going to display them? Would love your thoughts :) Thanks!
Hi Justin,
