I think the reason you don't find them is that only the cheapest manufacturers sell to Costco.

These are made by Kyosho or Minichamps that just price themselves out of the common market with more detail, they are simply not the same, like comparing a 135i to a Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Best chance is trying the dealer or ebay.

I encourage everyone to buy them. Worst case, put them on ebay and get back the $70 or so you paid for it, these things don't lose much value.
