FC Diecast, where can I find one?

I have been looking for one for over 10 years. I want a 1/18, where can I find one?

Thank you,

I've been looking every now and then as well. I walked into a store that had some on a shelf, and there was a red RX-8. I picked that one up, since it's close enough to hold me off without the 7

No such thing as a 1/18 scale FC...

Jada does make a 1/64 one that you should find pretty easily.
Import Racer also makes that lime green one in 1/64 also.

There's some bigger 1/43 stuff that's mostly InitialD stuff...

I have never seen any 1/18 stuff myself.
...and I collect these things.
I know Hot Wheels never made an FC ones until recently.
I mainly collect Hot Wheels.

You're more likely to find them in Japan or Hong Kong stuff.
I try to stay away from the InitialD stuff myself.
The same dies that make the InitialD stuff, I think some of the newer FC die casts are now being made - i.e. that blue / pink R.E. Amemiya FC3S, since the scale is the same.

1/24 is the largest you'll find for an FC. I've been looking for 1/18th long enough to know there are ZERO made.

Our only hope? That the Drifting scene gets LARGE enough to lead to a 1/18th scale model.

Jada Toys makes 1/24th scales but they are "LARGE" 1/24th so they don't match any other 1/24 scale toys. If you start a JADA collection then you HAVE to stick with JADA so all the scaling matches.

Posted some pics of my toys (I have 2 FCs: De-riced Initial D in black, and the Blue Geisha FC.)

1/24 is still an OK size, if you're willing to settle. Maybe someone around here talented enough could create the 1/18's for us

Some Hong Kong company is making 1/18th, 1/12th scale cars. If we're lucky they'll make some FCs but I'm not holding my breath.
