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

 

awesome, will make a de-tour tomorrow :D
thanks for that......

 

$24.95 is cheap............... I've seen them selling for anything up to $59.95.

Hmm, I might get one as a dash ornament.........

 

there sick as!.........i want one, but an mx6:P

 

How come I did not spot that

Thx for that wildcard

 

That's one huge wing. Maybe you'll need something like that with a Hymee SC on the donk?

 

dash ornament,

Why to remind you what your driving

 

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:

I want a Blue one!! Anyone know where they are available in Aus??

Tonym.

 

Group Buy time?

I'd be in for a Blue as well (naturally)

 

note- stock airbox =)

 

It must be an Asian thing, you know, like those springy cartoon characters. :p

 

But you have to buy one, crunch it, then buy it again

Cheers,
Hymee.

BTW - Nice find Wildcard. Anyone note the spelling mistake on the decals? Hehehehe.

 

hahaha.... you sahve been spending too much time in chinatown :D
maybe should get a blue hello kitty while you are there

 

lol..sweet I just bought one of these about a week ago..love it! I was gonna post pictures too but you beat me to it Wildcard...:D

 

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

Tonym.

 

ezzy if you go get me one
i want one too but i have no time to go

 

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.

Tonym.

 

I think more adults then kids have bought these toys.

 

I bought the 1:10 scale RX8 Radio controlled version by Jada toys at toysrus, it comes with 20 inch wheels, amps ,subs and working neons behind the wheels and you get to drive it too !

 

no worries phil...
might pop in tomorrow night (shopping night)
i think i will keep it until it get painted to the same colour as your 8 :D
im doing a mini full respray as well :p

 

So they would be 2 inch wheels then

Heck - My math is good this morning.

CHeers,
Hymee.

 

yeah !

thanks
ok so if this thing does 20 klms per hour then it would have a scale speed of 200

 

Ezzy's gas powered version would have an estimated speed of around 70kph so we are talking 700kph (scale speed ).... :D

 

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.

 

I have the FD Jada haven't got around to getting the RX-8 yet but I do have the RX-8 Transformer now :D

Santa said I was a good boy - SUCKER !
