How to buy the scale model

Thank you SOO MUCH!! I have wanted one of those SOOO BADLY! I can't wait to get some information. We are going to make this company RICH!

 

hi , I bought one from hong-kong via ebay, It cost me $38-0-0 au they
have a website which is www.mini-factory.co.jp The code on the box
is expo 2005aichi japan . it is very small but i like it, The boot opens
bye from scroller

 

If I'm correct minichamps makes the best ones with good looking rims. Every one I have seen on the web are red. I think that's the only color they made. I would buy silver or blue. The hatch opens too.

Any other finds?

 

My aunt has this car and I got a real kick out of it. I actually own a subaru.

Anyways, reason for the post is someone posted a link to my site here in the USA to show the model. It wound up as a dead link so here I am to fix it...

My price is $36 plus $5 standard shipping to US locations.

And, yes, they can be a bit pricey BUT the detail is awesome and why would you consider any less for your car in miniature?

Oh, and thanks for posting the intial link to my site. It's good to know it's reaching folks out there...

 

Thanks classictoysnyc; the last one is on its way. I've wanted one of these for quite awhile.

 

Thanks so much for the order - it will be picked up today and shipped via Priority mail.

I actually have two more. I just loaded them on to the site.

Just a quick note to other people who want other colors:

Good luck - this company is difficult at best to work with. Everything is a limited edition with them and they release new models like the Prius once in a while. In fact, like with other diecast companies, many of the newer "regular" type of cars get very little attention.

You all are welcome to check my site out to see if we get new colors in or you can call the store.

Thanks again guys and happy hunting for you miniatures.

Happy holidays,

Gideon
Classic Toys

 

Make that one more.

Well, I'm out of stock.

Just tell me if you'd like me to try to order more of them. Might be tough to get though - there were something like 1,300 made - clearly not enough.

Cheers,

Gideon.

 

is anyone interested in Toyota Licenced Diecast 1:30 scale model? PM me

 

You can also get one here on ebay for cheap...

Cheap because it's not as good of detail and smaller. Right color though.

 

Mine just arrived today.

It is very nicely detailed, but my wife thinks that the color is darker than my Salsa Red.

 

I found a Japanese site with a free downloadable paper model - could someone please translate and tell me how to get the download?

Try here http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=1...&hl=paper+model

and here for a different version

Here's another alternative: http://www.toyeast.com. Do a search for "Prius". They have a range of model from $2.00 to $70.00. I opted for the diecast one that is 1/30th scale with "factory paint". (see photos)

The front doors open but that's it. Looks good centered above the MFD fastened with double-faced tape. Would surely become a missle during an accident but what the heck....

Thank you theforce and BMcGraw for your fast and helpful replies. I loved the models at Toyeast; unfortunately the blue 1/30th scale I wanted was also the most expensive at $99! (I don't even want to try explaining that to the wife, so I got a couple of the smaller models.)

The Japanese paper model looks very nice and challenging - I will start construction as soon as I paint it the right shade of blue in Photoshop.
