Well, Code 3 is no longer in business so you can't buy from them. TWH does not make Fire vehicles anymore. Fire Replicas has pretty much filled the gap left behind by TWH but I don't collect them mainly because of price and not having moving parts. It pretty much depends on what you want and how much you are willing to spend. You recently said in a post that you don't have much money to spend so FR is probably out of your reach. I would recommend watching this blog to pick up some pieces here which usually can be had for a fair price or watch the auction sites.

If you are not looking for high end models with a lot of detail and working parts, try Corgi, there are some great vintage rigs to be had, many at reasonable prices on the internet.

The best place is probably Ebay, under Corgi fire or 1/50 fire.
