Emirates A380 Models
On a trip last year, we flew CX to JNB and back through HKG. In their in-flight shopping, we noticed we could purchase very nice 1:200 scale models (with stands) of their B747-400 aircraft, some with the Hong Kong: Asia's World City special livery.
My question: does EK do or offer the same on their A380 flights? If not, does anybody know a link or a place I could go to shop for/buy such models? I'm looking for higher quality models that include landing gear and good details.
Thanks!

You can purchase a 1:200 scale A380 (and indeed a 777-300ER) from the Emirates store inside Concourse B at DXB (I can't quite recall if there is one in A, but there is definitely one in B). I think it's about 40 USD. It is a pretty decent model, but you can inspect it before buying at the store. If you're looking for a 1:100 or 1:50 scale model, you'll need to order that direct from the Emirates Official Store (420 and 3300 USD respectively). The 1:100 model is also available from the Emirates High Street, so you can earn or spend miles for it.
On the retail locations, the emirates official store website lists as follows:
East Store, Terminal 3, Dubai Duty Free
West Store, Terminal 3, Dubai Duty Free
Terminal 1, Dubai Duty Free.
I can confirm that, according to the Emirates website, there is a store in the A gates terminal (A380 hub).

I passed through the Emirates store in Terminal 3 only two weeks ago and bought a B77W. I also saw other aircraft, including the A380. Normal livery A380 1:200 was 150 AED, they also have a World Cup Special and another one which I don't remember for something more. Smaller aircraft 1:200 are 125 AED.

Both the A380's are solid metal and the 777's are a 300 and 300ER.
The big A380 A6-EDE weighs a ton and I've cut my finger open on the sharp bits a couple of times.
Hope you like, not too sure I'll end up with 93 777's

I located them online at the Emirates Official Store and that was easy. Will be ordering a couple shortly.
Thanks everyone for the responses!

I came across them by chance in WHSmiths, and bought the A380 for just shy of 40, pretty decent quality I thought.
