Just picked up a few of them on the way home. Cool!

Better get 'em quick; they were originally $4.99 and have been price reduced a couple of times and are now on clearance for $1.47.

How do you order it online and then pick it up in-person? It doesn't seem like it'll let you.

I was checking this little model out. The detail is surprisingly good even at $5.

Little brembos, 06 track wheels, proper headlights with orange strip. It's way better than the detail on my micro RC car. Oddly, it has no exhaust tips but the body has the cutouts.

The "Authentic sound" sounds just like all the exhaust clips I hear on the internet.

BTW, don't bother going to the store on Cottle in San Jose, I got the last one.

Does yours make the acceleration noise when you press down and hold on to the back of the car or front of the car? Mine only makes noise when I lift it up... Kinda wish it would make the acceleration noise when i press down on the rear that way I can drive it around my desk and make the sounds come out =]

Yeah i got one from a fellow car enthusiast (04' sti) on christmas. If you guys don't know already, if you push down on the car it activates the sounds, then right after the first sound clip finishes you can pick up the car and tilt it in different directions. on my toy if you tilt it to its side it does a burn out and screeches through the gears, if you tilt it back the z goes through all the gears till it hits redline, and if you tilt the car towards the front end the cars sounds like it is downshifting. try it out.

Thanks for offering to mail one to me, sent you some paypal money You rock.

Can you guys imagine what the sales analyst at radioshack is gonna be doing at the end of the month? Scratching their heads wondering why on January 11th a whole lot of these toys were bought up all across the country, LOL!

I'm over on the Space Coast, but thanks anyway! I got one tonight, but I'm going back tomorrow to buy more. This thing is awesome!! I'm going to let my hubby take it for work though since I can go grab more tomorrow.

Thank you SPCEMN SPIFF for starting this thread! This is now my favorite Z toy!!

Yeah, thanks SPCEMN SPIFF for the info.
I always want to buy 350z toy car, and I am pretty happy with this one.

I picked up 3 at a local radioshack an hour ago, that all they had.
I used store locator on their web site, then called all near by stores to
make sure they have in stock.
