Default Want to find my childhood R/C's

Hey everyone, maybe some of you can point me in the right direction.
I have this recent "want" to hunt down my childhood, toy level R/C's. Toys that I so carelessly tossed in the garbage are now so hard to find.
Here's the list.

Nikko Lobo (the 4wd monster truck) Blue or red.
Nikko Road Shredder (A red Tracked truck).
Tyco Scorcher 6x6
Tyco Turbo Hammer (not mini, yello preferred)
Nikko Shockwave Hydroplane.

There was many more but those are the ones i want to find. I have found a couple on ebay, but they seem quite highly priced, and wont ship to canada.
If you guys know of anything, let me know.
Thanks for you time
Scott

yeh, many of the ones you listed are considered collectable by some.
Sucks most the ads you found wont ship to canada, but then it usually costs twice as much as it would normally.
do you know anyone in the states? If so, then when you find one for a good price you can have it sent to your friend...who could then ship it to you in canada. Just a thought

I want to find a 80's Kyosho Javelin. I have heard that the parts are interchangable with an Optima, is that true? I need a new rear transmission to get my running again. I have been dreaming of seeing it go again for years. I purchased a roller I found years ago to fix it but the trans was shot on it too, bad buy. I couldn't imagine that 4 wheel drive with a brushless motor on it lol, that would be wicked!
