Solid Pewter RX-8

Has anyone seen one of these? It's a solid pewter RX-8 in the size of a Hot Wheels car. I bought it from a retired Mazda dealer in AU. He visited Mazda Corp. in Japan and this was given to him from an executive.

He found there was a number stamped on his and that only 250 were made. Did you get blue bag with yours?

Ha! thats the first thing I thought of... I'm like "hmm, must have been inside a Japanese monopoly game."

I'd trade it for a midpipe.

So if thats the case, and 250 were made, I would think each pewter 8 would have it's own SN#..
maybe you have Gomez's 8? So i'm confused.
