So I'm not sure if you guys can help me but I figured it was worth a shot.
I'm meeting my long time online boyfriend in person in a couple weeks. He is from Australia and I'm American. I am going there. I wanted to take a gift along with me.
I was thinking of a model car. He has told me he's always loved classic American cars and he's way into cars in general.
I just don't know where to start looking for something like this or what price range I would be looking at? Maybe you guys could point me in the right direction?
Not looking for hot wheels or anything, but a nicely sized replica. He's quite partial to vintage corvettes bs mustangs.
I also have roughly two and a half weeks to get it here with shipping.
Thanks in advance.

Get him a 1/18 scale from a brand like ERTL, they make plenty of things like Corvettes, Mustangs, etc. The best place to buy is probably eBay.

Ertl is horrible, but affordable. If you really want to impress him, buy him a CMC or Exoto. Very expensive but trust me, he'll be impressed.
But even Hot Wheels Elite is MILES ahead of Ertl. Ertl is essentially jada level shit, and really feel like cheap toys you can buy at any store.
Alternatively you could spend accouple hundred on a nice 1:43, or even only $30-60 on a nice, but not super nice one.
As he's an aussie maybe you should grab him the 1:43 AutoArt interceptor/enemy car from Mad Max. Those are nice.

>Ertl is horrible
I'm not an expert on die cast models, I only have one Erl product and it's a bike, but it feels very well made compared to the 1:12 scale bikes I used to have when I was a kid.
Don't forget OP is asking what he/she should get for a boyfriend they've never met.
Recommending they drop the kind of money Exoto or AutoArt are asking for seems a little over the top in my opinion.
