canaryrx8 10-13-2004, 09:32 AM first off, for the repost police I did a search and was unable to find this posted so here goes:

I don't know about anyone else but I have been jonesing for these bigtime, especially if they come with the extra sets of wheels as I am currently building a heavily customized plastic model of my 8 and the rims that come with these kits are awesome. :) Now if they would only come in yellow...sigh
That's hot. Someone hook up there car like the tit gray with volks.
Megatron_98 10-13-2004, 09:38 AM Hey I have been looking for a long while as well an haven't seen them anywhere. The closest I have found it the black rx-7's. If anyone finds them let us know what store.
canaryrx8 10-13-2004, 09:40 AM I've found a lot of the cooler ones at Target, sometimes Toys R us (too pricey) and Wal-Mart. There's always online diecast places and ebay but it's not much fun as a collector to buy stuff that way, much more fun to "score on hunts" :) (I collect hotwheels etc. too but that's probably obvious)

sweet! hopefully you'll post it up, I have a ton of work on mine, I plan on going all out and shaving stuff, molding seams etc. I'm going to try and build it to look like what I wished my 8 looked like. I even found some rims to match the ccw's I dream of, i also have several other kits that are in progress though so it might be a while. :)
800Degrees 10-13-2004, 10:58 AM I've seen the 350, Skyline, Celica... but no RX-8s at Target, Walmart, Toys R Us... I'm there for my kids... really....
Jada also makes a 1:10 RC RX-8:
canaryrx8 10-13-2004, 11:27 AM I think quite a few people picked up on the Jada r/c 8, (including me, heck I can even drift with it!) for the price it is a lot of fun. It's probably been discussed before but my ultimate plans for a mini me are to pick up an HPI (www.hpiracing.com) or Associated (www.teamassociated.com) on road chassis and then go with the airplane rotary engine, the power to weight/displacement of that motor in an r/c car would be insane, one of these days I'm going to build it!
here are some links to what i hope to complete someday:

there's a thread on here somewhere where someone actually disassembled the rotary and was showing all the pieces etc. it's pretty awesome if someone cares to dig it up.

Heck I'm not, I don't wanna grow up :D
I got a red one at toys r us
My husband bought me a blue one at Target so I could put it in my office at work. Gotta find a titanium one, tho!
i rarely, if ever see RX-8's at Wal-Mart or ToysRUs..I found all the 1:32 models...but only one of the Titanium 1:24's and it was still in the Import Racer shipping box with Supra's and Celica's...it was the only one out of 6 cars...i got lucky...

gotta' agree there at least some of the 8 stuff is hard to find, I was shocked when I found my 1/18th at Toys r us, the ones I have a really hard time finding are the Muscle Machines 1/64th ones, so far I have found a yellow (yay!!) and a blue one, but compared to the 1/64th import racer ones, these have been next to impossible to find in a store. Always sem to find Evo/Sti/Rx7 in the 1/24th, I have 3 of the 7 (including a yellow!)but just can't seem to bring myself to grab an STI or EVO. If the wife will let me I would like to get the Initial D FC that is out there, a first gen would be nice too :)
edit: don't know if it has been mentioned, but Nikko has a 1/18th RC Silver 8 out, similar to the jada but smaller and no lights (I think). Also Toys R Us has a 1/43 of the 8 in blue (R/c as well) with little extra wheels, turbo(?!?) and a "drift mode".
