Diecast Model $180 ?

TEJ · 06-23-2006, 01:54 PM

Now I'm so not sure I will let my 1 year old play with it.

Dont have enough posts to include the link , my curiosity has kept me watching one on an Ebay auction that ends today.

Yeah, I've been watching this as I'm looking for one in silver; seller won't ship to Canada but, even if he did, I'm not sure I could fork out $180 for a diecast model.

If they truly do have a limited production they may be valuable in 50 years.

I personally doubt it but who knows. 99% of the time you'll do better putting that money in to some type of conventional investment - boring but predictable. I just want a silver one in my home office to match the one sitting in the garage

Yeah, I'm worried we are going to end up bidding against each other; we need some type of agreement to split the ebay listings

each of us was supposed to get one when we register online with toyota. I already have 4000 miles and a few dents on FJ I have yet to get my die cast model....How long does it take to get it does anyone know?

It can take upto 6-8wks, but the wait feels much longer than that. And then out of the blue, it'll be there.

I had called again 2 days before it arrive, but yet when a package arrived with FJ cruiser on the label. I couldn't remember ordering anything for my FJ. caught me off guard completely. Only after opening the box, did it all come into full view.

It took a little less than 3 weeks after I registered online. I had expected to wait 2 months for a black cherry mini FJ.

Here's one that sold for $200.50 minus s&h approx. 3 weeks ago.

Here's the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

I just got mine a few days ago after about a 7 week wait & after seing how much they could go for, I was also considering having ePrey help me cash it in for other upgrades.

Here's a tease
