You can find the latest Singapore Camry in 1/43 or 1/18 on eBay.
The Altis was bought in CHina.

You can try Gaincorp Asia at Beach Road.. Golden Mile Food Centre, #02-164...
Owner's name is Mark... he brings in quite a few dealer editions of Altis, Sunny and Civic... not sure if he can get a Camry though... but you can ask him... Price is around S$99 though... -
