Default radioshack 350z toys

I still have one of these on my desk currently however I went to radioshack today and they don't sell them anymore. I wanted to buy around 10. I remember there was a post on here but couldn't find it. Does anyone know any other alternatives?

I just want a small model 350z under 5 dollars if possible. Thanks.

Eckerd Drug had small scale Fairlady Z models for 2.99 the other day. It's 2003-2006 since it has the two lined hood plus it's JP cause of the steering setup but it's pretty neat. I bought one and it's on my desk. I think it was supposed to be DB but it's pretty dark and almost looks like my SMB that's coming but obviously the hood thing.

You can pull it back and it goes on it's own. I send it accross the desk when i'm bored.

They had the Blue and PPW.

On a side note: I pulled out my box of Z stuff that I put away for a while and I discovered that I had bought about 12 Silver Matchbox 2003 Z's when they were first edition. I went crazy a little I guess but now that i'm getting my very own 1:1 model it's ok.

I actually have a 350z toy from RadioShack. Its a bit bigger than a matchbox car but its so much cooler. If you tilt it back it makes sounds like its accelerating. Tilt it forward and it brakes and downshifts. Side to side and it makes noises like its turning. Oh and if you push it down it starts up.

^ Speaking of which... I usually go to one location, and some of the people working there are alil

There's another location I went to, and I heard some techno/trance tracks playing real loud. I walked in to see a couple of hot college chicks working there. WahoO! It was such a lively place compared to the store I usually go to.

this is true, probably why they dotn sell them anymore....and to some degree Angelzhope is corect, people expected way to much for those little things....believe it or not i ran a forum for while for people who liked modding their zz, but the buzz was if it did this just return it if id did that just return it...rs return policy was to leneant for those things, and would give you a new one with no hassel, and people would break them trying to mod it and try and return it....

i actually have about 10 working ones and about 30 broken ones lol....but i love my little zz's, i built like a nice 500 sq ft, track out of garden house in my basement and would have friends come over and we would have long races requiring pit stops to recharge and everything was awsome....
