RX-8 Models?

I checked the archives, but didn't find any recent info. All seemed at least 5 months old. Just wondering if anyone has any info on places to purchase various RX-8 models - 1:43, 1:24, 1:18, etc. - I seem to be having particular trouble finding anything in Green. Of course the Red, Black, & Silver will be the most popluar, but when I was searching for my 8, I saw many green ones and only a few yellow and hardly any blue, yet I see models in these colors, but no green - just 1 1:43 that was $60! I even saw RX-8 models in WHITE! The car doesn't even come in white! ...yet.....
This also extends to T-shirts, posters, and even the RX-8 car cover. Green is the only color combo not offered. What's up with that?

I found some on Ebay. AUTOart makes various sizes. Mine is blue, not the most popular color. Good luck, cc

The AutoArt models are very detailed and worth the price. You can get them at:

Trussville Mazda

or

EWA Cars

or

Exoticar

I got the 1:64 from EWA since they were the only ones to carry that size. Check all the sites.

Check your local Wal-Mart or Target. Jada Toys has a 1:64 Scale Mazdaspeed RX-8 in blue and green.

I got this URL from Google because I'm having some trouble with the Jada Toys site.

Hey Morgan,

Thanks for the info. I never saw one in white, and I read that Mazda was considering adding white for '05. I didn't know other colors were available outside the US.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I love the AutoArt ones, but they make every color except green!

Pavehawk,

Thanks for the link, but I don't think I would consider that modded out lime green thing much of a model for the Nordic Green. I'd be closer with the black one.

Expo1,

That is the only one I have come across - but $58.00 for a 1/43 model? Seems a bit abusive. Is the green that unpoular? Anyone know what the manufactured/sold numbers of each color are?
