Anyone have a source for this FB diecast?

I ran across this diecast on a member's site over the weekend. Here's a great FB diecast, 1:43 scale. I thought it was a SE; in fact, it's a 12A turbo I from Japan. Looks SWEET! It's made by M4, which I believe is a part of Mtech.

I have done a web search, and found it in white, red, and brown (possibly charcoal too). However, all the sites are in Japanese and somewhat difficult to read to say the least, let alone order. Anyone run across this and know where I can get one in the US? May be potential for a group buy here!

Try www.sherriffsminicars.com.au. They have heaps of Rx-7 models. I don't think they're listed on the site though so you might have to contact them.

Also check out the working scale model rotary engine.

Japan help

Maybe we could get a fellow rx7 fan in Japan to help us out! It would not hurt to try that route.

Nice Models!

Hell i want some of those......look so cool wif the genuine wheels just like mine

If u want a similar 1/43 diecast then go here http://www.speednation.com/rx7ewa.htm

Mazda (Savanna) RX-7 Diecast

Manufacturer: Ebbro

Colors: Yellow, Green or White
(sorry - no other colors are planned for production)

Scale: 1/43 which is 3 1/2 inches long or twice the size of a "Matchbox" car. Ebbro is limiting production to only 3,000 units for each color. Once they are gone - that will be it.

Just heard from Sheriff... no go.

The Ebbro models are nice, but they are the SA... these M4 products are the first nice FB diecast I've seen...
