Yep - another pre-order gift! DieCast model
Hi guys!
Haven't posted in a very long time, but thought I should check in. 1 - Got new wheels and snow tires - thx Gord for the help! 2 - Finally received my free touch-up paint, but it looks like it's from the dealer for answering the cust service survey -arrived in a padded envelope and not in the plastic wheel 3 - Today, I just received yet another pre-rder gift: 1:43 AUTOart diecast RX-8 - in my color!!!! (sorry if this is a duplicate post - I searched and didn't see any about this new gift) Snow tires & wheels: http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...51_52_full.jpg http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...51_54_full.jpg Pre-order gift: diecast RX-8 http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...51_50_full.jpg http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...51_51_full.jpg |
That is so cool!! Can't wait to get mine.
|
I'm assuming it was from MNAO . . . ?
|
when did you take delivery of your car? i am wondering if these are going out in any order, or maybe in 1 or 2 bulk shipments.
really nice, it's even the correct color! i have been wanting one of those ever since the JDM owners reported getting them. |
Took delivery in late September.
The letter included in the package mentions my car color as well. I'll try to take pics and post it a little later. |
Wow, that's nice.....I got zero gifts and ordered in August....guess I don't qualify but it would be a nice suprise to get a die cast model. Hmmmmmm, who have you been sweet talking at Mazda!!!;] Good to hear from ya again Bob!
|
Thats cool, hope i get one and not pay the high price for one online.
|
Sorry about the crappy pics - but here ya go:

Hope everythings well & congrats on your car! :D I'll do some searching to see if I can find pics of it (if ya posted any)... a link might be helpful (hint, hint). B/c of deadlines and such, the holiday season is quite busy at my job. Now that everything is quiet again, its time to start posting again! As for the "sweet talking"... you should know me by now! Hee hee! |
ok so that's coming from the same place in PA that some of the other things did. makes sense that Philly got them first. should be sometime next week then (wed. or thurs.) for those of us on the west coast.
|
I just checked the postmark on the package... wasn't shipped from PA.
Was shipped Priority Mail on 1/30 from zip code 08031 (where ever that is). Received this morning 1/31 in Philly. |
thanks !
|
Gee, I had to get mine online....At about $50.00 to boot!!
At least Mazda is making an effort to make us feel nice and warm.. |
Bellmawr NJ 08031
|
ya just gotta love the TLC the USPS gives packages! reminds me of when my cell phone arrived w/ a hole in the box large enough for some of the contents to fall out through (thankfully none did, at least that I know of)
|
I'm feeling bummed that I didn't pre-order. The car I got was a pre-order someone else had made that fell through on the purchase.... So while I picked it up in July I didn't offically preorder it so I dont get any of these goodies... :(
Oh well! |
Bob that is awesome.
|
Jersey, eh. That explains why I got it so quick.
Daniel: yeah! Obviously I didn't rip it open like that - grumble grumble - stupid USPS! At least the contents were safe. sferrett: have you ever called the Mazda 1-800 #? Explain your sitch, I betcha they'd do something... or at least ask your dealer about adding your name to the list of pre-order custs. RX-GR8: how's it going??? :) Hope everything is well! My question to you is - how come YOU didn't get yours yet??? btw - like my crappy grey winter wheels? UGH! Well, at least they were cheap. Can't wait for Spring. |
Guess I should have mentioned something about the gift itself.... lol
It looks exactly like the ones pictured in those eBay auctions. Not sure yet if I'm gonna take it out of the black box.. but the car is mounted in a clear, hard plastic case. Possibly the only difference between the eBay ones and this is the artwork on the back of the box (note that the flash made it come out alot brighter than it actually appears). As always, sorry about the quality of the pics. http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...51_64_full.jpg http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...51_65_full.jpg http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...51_66_full.jpg |

Well, with all of the whining and such about not getting my touch-up paint for three months . . . I too received a diecast model of my car today . . . and I said that Mazda would send me no more love. Well, guess that I was wrong. One lightning yellow 1:43 autoart car. Go figure!

That would be nice.
|
Dude, ya gotta take the car out of the package. I bought one of these off eBay a while back, and the detail is simply incredible! Gotta take it out to appreciate it. Trust me, as soon as you do you'll toss that box and stand and never look back!
|
I bought one off eBay a while back...but it was from a seller in Hong Kong, and is a JDM spec car (RHD). The detail is indeed incredible (right down to carpeting in the trunk!). Of course it has black seats, not red/black like mine. And I have strakes and front/rear rotary accents; my model does not.
|
Omega Bob...some pics right here 4U!
Here you go and I will take more come spring....can't wait for warmer temps!!! Wendy
