Diecast hunting in Pune
Hey all, I wanted to know which would be the best place to hunt for 1:18 diecasts in Pune. Other than the normal malls like Pune Central and Lifestyle, is there a dedicated toy shop where I would be able to find more variety of 1:18 models? Anybody having any info on this, please help. Thanks!!

Only place I see is on MG road ahead of Bata shoes going towards Pul Gate a small Toy Shop with many Maistos and Hotwheels, but nothing like Gift Center

RE: Diecast hunting in Pune
I stayed in Pune for some time back in 2008. Will be going to Pune this weekend for a day so wanted to know of any specific toy shop. The Pyramid store in SGS Mall also had few 1:18 models in stock back then and I used to get my models mostly from there only but no choice there. Pune Central and Lifestyle also don't have much variety to choose from.

What was the price range of the 1:18 HW's you saw in Toy World? I got to know the shop you are referring to is called Toy World. Also checked it out on google.
