I believe Hotwheels will do a custom run of ANY car for something like $15k plus $100 each car. It's been about 10 years since I quit hording HW's though so I'd have to look into it again.

yes thats quite true so there is indeed something to be said for just being able to buy a diecast. but if you feel like fiddling around with a fairly easy build the tamiya is the one!
15K plus 100$ for a hot wheels model? that sounds pretty extreme. i assume that would be large scale (1/18 is typical die cast scale) and not one of those little bitty ones?
i would still love a franklin mint level one but i have to think you would need to order a bunch to get them for 100$ each. unless they already have the basic tooling done and you just want a little custom work on it, they would have to invest many thousands in molds and dies.
but hey if it comes to pass i would be more than happy to throw down a fin on a nice diecast fj60.
i would post a photo of a 1/24 scale land rover on a diorama base that i did but somehow it might not be appreciated!

post up jb.
and nope... they're the little ones at that price. I've bought and sold HotWheels in the thousands of dollars range in the past so a fin for one isn't really a big deal to me. It's the $15k investment for tooling that hurts.

not a 60 $1.50 from yard sale today
A little late to the party, but...
Here is a HJ60 in 1:43 scale. It is cast in resin, but will mix in any diecast collection unnoticed. Not a bad lookin' model, eh? Made in France.

Looks like its time for an OME those stock springs look pretty saggy.
The Land Cruiser emblem is in the wrong spot, but the only 60 series model I have seen. I have spent some time searching ebay and the web for LC models/diecast. There is 4X series models, Prado's, 70, 80, and even 100 series and FJC models, but no one makes a 60 series. I don't get it.

that s a mitsubishi montero/pajero
I have to put up a pic of my home made model from cardboard. I used it for a project...I think it's pretty good for an amateur cardboard and tape model.
waiting anxiously for the model....
still waiting for this model....
