got my car yesterday. haven't opened it yet. busy. never got paint. "ordered" it with my Stage 1. Assume when I get that then I'll get the paint. Maybe the paint is an optional dealer thing?

Pre-order gifts
I pre-ordered in April but made a last minute switch to a vehicle arriving earlier (though it had a few more options than I originally planned - it was worth it to reduce the wait). I have been following the "gifts" received by others (but not by me) and was waiting for Mazda to catch up with my change and send them along. When I saw that a die-cast joined the list I sent them an email to inquire.
They replied same day and followed up with a phone call from marketing. They are trying to pull the various items together and will send them to me in the next couple of weeks. I am very pleased with their quick and courteous response. They really seem focused on the customer. Thanks for keeping me up to date on your "gift" activity.
I look forward to receiving a package soon.

Ok.....Mazda emailed me back. Those diecast cars are limited to preorder buyers and had only so many available to Mazda. In turn they are sending me an RX 8 T-shirt. So, only a limited number were going out to the preorder buyers. Well, at least I got a shirt out of the deal!!! Let you know when I get it.

Actually....me being the petty person I am...not getting a toy car really gripes me. I want one! (free)...but then again, if you pre-ordered your car I bet you paid a bit more than we who bought off the lot...maybe. So I guess you all really paid for the model also.
Darn I want one though! GrrRRRrrrrr...
*starts counting the loose change found under the couch cushions*
Bah! 23 cents and 1.5 pounds of cookie crumbs...don't think that is gonna cut it!

I think the lot-buyers win, particularly since I had already bought a 1:43 AUTOart diecast velocity red RX-8 model back in June on eBay, while I was waiting for the real thing. Cost $43 and, appropriately, I had to wait two weeks for it to come from Hong Kong. Only difference is that the eBay one is right-hand drive and the new one is left-hand drive.
Go figure ...

Got mine...
yesterday. I was a pre-order, got my 8 on Aug. 27. So far, got the book, thermos and cup, and touch up paint in addtion to the model. Does Mazda love me or what? My wife got a MB G500 in '02 and we didn't get "squat" from Benz! Do any other manufacturers do this kind of thing? At least Mazda hasn't kissed us off completely after getting our money.:D like most car dealers and manufacturers do.
