Nani... you're in this now? If that's the case, we may have to split this up to $4.19 per car, and there is no equal distribution of 2000GTs.
 
Edit:

Relayed message problems at its finest.

My want list in order of highest to lowest:

2000GT
Hakosuka
Kenmeri
RX-3*
Wagon

If Kenmeris are really unpopular, I volunteer to take the extra so I got something to mod later.
 
Perhaps wait and see if we can get 2 more to join in so we could get 2 sets?

Start marketing then. :P

Edit: I didn't mention a few of you because I know that you rather not do shipping from the States. i ain't neglecting you! ;)


Edit: @SpeedRacer8218, sorting out 2 orders under one roof allow for greater possibility of combination of items, so I would sort things out with R1600Turbo if you want to go through with this.

If you guys haven't already, I highly recommend this:

More pics if interested.

That Atenza is not just good, it's gorgeous, good god... No wonder Mazda (indirectly) uses Oversteer models for their scale model range, they are making a fantastic job transferring those Kodo design lines to 1:64 format. :drool:👍

And to think that I was asking for an Atenza/6 new model after seeing Oversteer's 2015 Demio/2 release.... Well, my prayers have definitely been answered, and with an additional wagon version to boot. If I can ever find an Atenza like yours for sale, Shinji, I'll be sure to make it a Soul Red wagon. With a nice ND Miata to make it company...

Unfortunately, I only have interest in the 510 Wagon. I wish there was a different paint scheme on the 2000GT-R. :(

I'd want either the RX-3, Kenmeri or 510 Wagon. But to be honest I don't really care which one I get.
 

Wait, wait - what's happening here? Why am I being mentioned?
Are you guys picking on me again?
I'm totally confused about this - okay - there's is something we need to buy - and buy together because it costs a lot. We split the spoils. We fight for the Wagons and RX3s.

Whatever it is - count me in. Can I have all the Wagons and RX3s?

No hitting, no hitting.

I'm not sure if that was Mazda, or their dealer network, but that is a great point. 👍

Well, it's actually Mazda's dealer network, which is basically the best of both worlds mentioned, haha. :lol:
At least so far it's only Japan's idea, since I haven't heard a single thing about the exclusive press set (which could be pre-order at the Tokyo Auto Show last year) being sold in any other countries...
 
A high price can easily be taken advantage of by another seller. By offering a somewhat lower price, that seller already has the attention of most buyers, and should they still make the sale, make the profit this seller couldn't.

So yeah, competition. Their crummier prices means other prices will look even more attractive.

Well, Japanese auto maker & Japanese diecast maker, so that makes sense. Reminds me of L.A. Auto Show Hot Wheels(American) Ford Mustang(American):

Well, that much is obvious, it's the same with Peugeot and Norev teaming up. If you can keep it in-house, why not save the bucks/yens which you'd have to spend on importing models from other countries?

Also, nice Mustang, I had no idea it existed in that format. America is also keen on selling local products for scale model cars...

Later edit: And speaking of Mustangs, who could have thought that such an garish-looking Mustang could hide such a big secret?

If this ends the "uplifting chin" condrum for good, I'll be far and beyond thrilled to buy more racing HW cars. Once again, Matchbox's innovations have helped Hot Wheels to improve (read the blog post for a better explanation of that case)...

I'm not sold on this. They're basically going from one bad thing to another. With the flip up chin you also get a large gap above it so that it can move up/down. If they want to sell cars for their track sets, make cars for those track sets. Leave the rest alone.

Well, the gap in the Mustang could not necessarily be replicated in other models, it is a feature in the real-life car if anything due to the way the bodykit was designed. Lower chassis could erase the gap completely if done right.
Your point is a valid one, don't get me wrong, but we need to see more examples of this new system on proper race car models to gauge just how much space they leave between the spoiler and the body...
 
Fffff.... That Drag Topo is looking better with each passing Greenlight photo, now that bare metal look and the hot rod flames one make the car even more of a looker! Although I'm not quite sure if I like the chrome look on the engine parts in the Drag Topo Hot Rod ver. yet, the car is still a great casting in my eyes. :drool:

And then that freakin' Yenko Chevelle doesn't help any matters, the only thing better would be if the car was blue... And the Torq-Thrusts being pained in a darker color is odd, especially when the real-life car doesn't even pack those.
