Riced out RX-8 model
I found this die cast RX-8 model in "Toys 'r us" today while I was out shopping. It was only $24.95 so I had to buy it! It is die cast metal and 1:24 scale. Made by Jada toys. They have a whole line of other jap imports tricked out in a similar fashion. Good to see that the RX-8 has come of age! Now it sits next to my computer when ever I am on the forum!
Suitable for ages 8+ :D

Hey do they have it in Blue?
The Jada Toys site has only Black and Grey in the "Import Racer" 1:24 models - see:
http://www.jadatoys.com/importracer124_2.html
But in the 1:18 models they have 3 colours - Blue, Silver and something that may be Grey (Titanium?) see:
http://www.jadatoys.com/importracer118_2.html
I want a Blue one!! Anyone know where they are available in Aus??

No, no, Hymee - you have to buy one and "INSURE IT", crunch it within 2 years, and the insurance compamy buys you a new one :D

Got mine at ToysRus today and they also have the 1:18 Jada toys "Import Racers" for RX7, 240SX and 350Z but no RX8 although it is in the Jaa toys catalog. They said that they will probably get a new shipment "sometime around June", so we'll have to look out then.

I had never seen these before either until I went to the car show here in D.C. a couple weeks ago... but mine is White! Also, got a smaller yellow 8 that you pull back and it goes, it's pretty cool! It's right hand drive and in stock form.
