After scouring places like Zellars, Toy R US, Walmart, and finding zero 1/18" diecast 350Z's.....I came upon this place. Their prices are quite reasonable.

I'm waiting for the Maisto Nismo diecasts to come in.

 

I just got my black Maisto. but i also have a silver 350Z that Mr. K signed for me at "ZCON" in L.A> a few weeks ago, and it has track Rays on it. the only name I can find on it is "ROAD @ Signiture" i can't find the company. mybe someone can HELP!

 

I believe it's a Road Signature brand, that's made by Yat Ming.

Prices are too expensive. Try ebay. they have lot of diecast 1/18 for sale. at $12.00 to $20.00.

Yoo are going to pay more for the nismo and roadster models but for a basic z, these prices are better. Ignore the vendors who think they can change $49.00 for $15.00 model.

I partially agree with ya, but we Canadian consumers get screwed over by high shipping charges. I've bought 2 Mattel and 1 Maisto models on ebay. The shipping for each was between $14US-$20US. (there's no way that it really costs $20US to ship to Canada; the high shipping charges are just profit for the sellers, which most of them are guilty of)

It's better for Vancouverites to buy the cheap models at Autoworld and the Autoarts on ebay. If you live in Vancouver, you just pick it up from the store and don't pay shipping.

 

I bought this black Maisto Z last week. The price was reasonable as a buy it now but the shipping was pretty over the top. $14.99 for the car and $10 shipping (I didn't notice till after I hit buy it now). I swear I always get ripped on shipping when I'm not paying attention.

Looks nice though. Got it a couple of days ago.

 

yat ming is the only brand that has the rays rims on the diecast models
