Let us know what the quality is like when you receive it. Kind of silly that shipping is the cost of the model itself.

I just ordered 2 of each color ( home and office) from diecastmodels.com. $14.95 and flat $9.95 shipping (still ridiculous but at least spread). I've purchased Welly Aston Martin diecast models before and they're OK for the price.
