    I was at Walgreens a few weeks ago and noticed that they have an American Graffiti 1:18 scale diecast set. The back of the box shows a picture of Milner's deuce coupe so for the last few weeks I've been hitting up Walgreens to try and find it.

    I'm not sure what makes it an American Graffiti set because the only car from the movie that I've seen is the picture of the Deuce coupe on the back. The actual models I've seen are mostly muscle cars that never appeared in the movie.

    Anyway I stopped at a local Walgreens today and they had 1 model and it was a 1971 Comet with an inline 6. It also just so happens to be my car's original color gold. It is not high quality but it's only $9.99, so it's your typical Made in China quality, but it's not bad considering the price. Most die casts are usually $15.99 for the same quality.

    1:18 scale?

    I must have one to match the other 1:18s I have.
