zero Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 At least it's a 432 http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/11/going-platinum-the-80-000-tomica-nissan-fairlady-z432/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 That is the worst model I have ever seen produced of a 240Z. It barely resembles an S30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolling Parts Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Has Japanese craftsmanship actually dropped down to this (poor) level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zjoel Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 LOL I hope this is supposed to mimic the original die cast car (used original mold?) and not the real Z432. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amorfin Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I think it's great that they chose an S30 for this... ... However I wish the execution had been much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodZilla Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 The first image that came to my mind was the front of a 1974 Camaro. I think it's the headlights or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-eric Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Kind of looks like an stretched out amc pacer,atleast the front end does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernS30 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Looks just nasty to me. I wouldn't spend 20 dollars on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 If it is insured for $80,000, I could see it getting 'stolen' very easily Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerAce Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I do love how they point out that it's still not worth what a real 432 is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddmanout84 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Can't believe that thing is worth $80,000. But as for accuracy, I don't think its too far off. I think what's throwing everyone off is the fact that its all one color, which may throw off perception. Here's the original Tomica 432 which I bought from a place called Jusco in Okinawa. It looks like its from the same mold. The thing is about the size of a Matchbox or Hotwheels car, and the detail blows both out of the water.

leftover z Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 $80K because it is rust-free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 The picture of the silver model shows the sugar-scoops are way too short, the hood appears shorter as well. The horrible door fit is similar on both models. All I can figure is that they attempted to make an honest reproduction of a flawed production model. The only problem is that they screwed it up even worse than the original model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 The engraved picture on the "box" is more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 They got a Jusco on Okinawa now? Man, a lot changes in 20 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
