on the japanese mazda page i found a whole bunch of rotary stuf for sale including this:
can anyone read japanese. i could not find this on the english version of the website click me

 

if you scroll down to the bottom of the page you will find this:

 

I can't read Japanese, but that model is pretty neat. They need to update it though - no more coloured instrument hood. :D

 

and this

 

I reallllly want that model!

 

I want one of those too.

 

i guess if they have the model then the outside + interior(color thingymagigers) wont be edited b4 the realese.

 

Can you say Group Buy!?

 

Why do you say that?

Because the RX-8 isn't coming with the coloured instrument hood, and that model still shows it.
It got the axe along with the start button. We knew that back in April.

 

yep! now if we can just scrape together enough yen...
:D

 

Yes. Yes I can.

 

I spent high school in japan and i can read a bit of japanese... more than i can speak. The description says that this car is the concept car from the 2001 tokyo motor show. it is canary yellow, made in china, and a mazda original model car. 1/43 scale with a clear case. of course as we all dreaded, they say they have none to sell us.

 

Argh... why? Why tease us with the model?

 

From where?

The Road and Track test of the car. The Mazda engineers said the coloured instrument hood wouldn't make it onto the final car because it was causing too many reflections on the windshield - distracting during driving.

 

Cool! Thanks.

Anyone know anyone from Japan that could do a group buy for us? I'm really liking that Model, baseball cap, and rotary watch...

Anyone? Anyone?

I want the cap and the bookbag

 

Could you post a pic of the bookbag and watch for us? The model: I'd have to get 2, one to play with and the other to keep all nice-like.

 

I just saw it once, don't remember the site.. But if somebody else would be so inclined

 

How much would it cost to ship something like that model from Japan?

 

Shipping would be a few bucks. Not much...

Who's putting the group buy together? I'll take 2 of them. In whate if they have it. We can sticky the contact info and details if someone wants to do the homework for the rest of us. :D
