A shop called Miatae in Miniature sells them for $29 - I bought a 1/43 AutoArt TiGray from them before Christmas. They are a good shop, sponsors over at www.miata.net . Their web site only shows their current stock, so all colours aren't shown, but the owner, Eric, is very cool about finding special requests.
If Mazda isn't sending you one, check them out!
(My TiGray 1/43 is the second one I have - the first is an AutoArt limited edition 1/43 of the Yellow Concept RX-8 from the 2002 Tokyo Motor Show - the car with the two-tone yellow/black interior with the yellow gauge hood, which the model has!)

Gordon

Thanks Gord, but I already got it..1/18 scale! Talk about detail, it has an engine cover that comes out, to show all the engine detail. It also has fabric seat belts....I even got a red one, with the red black seats..I can post some pixs if anyone cares..

Of course it has black seats, not red/black like mine. And I have strakes and front/rear rotary accents; my model does not.

Actually, the timing of this gift makes me wonder if they're being dispatched on the first anniversary of our original orders.

New Gift from Mazda: 1:43 RX-8 Model!
Got it in the mail today. It's made by Autoart, die cast metal and is color matched to your real RX-8. Doesn't have my options installed, though! :p
Pretty cool! :D

2010 Prius - Miss the 8
Wonder if there is an Autoart SILVER one... haven't found one yet.. all of mine I had to custom paint it.. ack.
I was lucky to get 2 touchup paints, so I used one to paint my tiny ZipZip to the color Silver.

Got my Titanium Mini-8 today. It's a nice touch, but what I would prefer is better communications about what initial launch problems are being addressed. I got my 3rd check engine light yesterday. I never had one on my 1st model year RX-7 Turbo, even after 17 years (bulb's probably loose by now .

I just got mine today. My RX-8 delivery date was July 15th. So, it seems the mailing order doesn't coincide with our RX-8 delivery order.
This would be really neat, except I already had one. Oh well, I guess it's better to have too much of a good thing!
