Default 1:18 scale die cast NX

I need to get my hands on one of these for my home office. On days where I work from home and don't get to spend time with my NX, I can at least stare at it.

Seems to be running for about $200 (including shipping) on eBay, though...

Anyway, thought that was cool that they have a 1:18 scale NX already.

I am surprised that all car manufacturers don't give out one of these with each new car sold as swag to enhance the customer experience. I used to have an Eclipse and was able to find a die cast car as part of the Fast and Furious toy collection but not from the Mitsubishi dealer.

I think it would be cool to have a die cast metal toy replica for each car you owned over your lifetime in your home fun room.

Is the "free gift" from China the lead poisoning due to their use of lead paint on the model? Lol

Lol Swacer, and thanks all. Was looking on eBay for some stuff like chrome brass license plate frames with "F-Sport" on them and other things for the NX and just happened to see this.

if you're getting license plate frames...make sure you get quality stuff. I got a cheap frame and it rusted all over my RAV4 rather quickly. So I got what I paid for. I should have just got one that was plastic.

Thanks for the heads up! I saw some cheap ones on Amazon and saw similar types of reviews and what you're saying. I guess it is worth paying the extra price for. I'm guessing $35-$50 is the appropriate range?
