If you are interested in these, some are available here:

There were 10 left when I ordered mine. The price is 1,796JPY each and shipping to North America is 1,500JPY for two. From what I understood, it's the same amount for shipping just one. It might thus be worth it to order a couple and share postage with a fellow member.
Anyway, I just wanted to give back to the Forum by sharing this info. (I am in no way affiliated with the vendor, I just ordered from them)

Good vendor. Ordered when not in stock, they didn't charge me until they were ready to ship about a week later and emailed me to see if I still wanted one. Fast shipping, but cost as much as the model itself so $30 altogether. I don't recommend it that highly since it's plastic but a true rotorhead probably can't resist. They still have 5 in stock.
Kabura also posted another site in another thread that is currently still out of stock:

The metal looking ones were also made of plastic so maybe they can be painted.

Can anyone guess which 8Club member is featured in this video?

Note these are not the same elaborate, larger, 1/2 size models Mazda uses at some autoshow exhibits:

something wrong with your conversion abilities... every 100 Yen is $1USD
~1800 japanese yen = ~18 us dollars
