I think Canada banned Mini-Z's.
They aren't allowed to import them anymore.
Too many people were getting hurt.
They were using them to chase the Mounties and they would fall off their horses and get hurt badly. So they discontinued them in Canada.

there are sites that you can get them at... try not to post before you've done a search, because most of this shit can be found on the 'net.

I hate to say it, but finding what you want at a brick 'n mortar hobby store at a reasonable price is damn near impossible. I try to support my local hobby stores by buying tools and paint there, but the actual cars have to be ordered, and then it doesn't really matter where you live.

Unless you live by me, and then you can go to hobbies 24 seven.... They have all mini Z shit, and hold races every Tues. night
Store is probably 75%-85% mini Z shit.
