Diecast RX330/350 model?
I've got diecast models of the 2-door RAV4 and the RX300 I used to own, and would like to add an RX350 to the collection. Anyone know if they're made, and where I can find one? (I found the RAV4 in a convenience store, and the clerk about fell over when I held it up, then pointed outside to mine...the RX300 was in a hotel's gift shop.)

If you find one, please, please post URL. We've been looking for a couple years. I have one of my RAV4 (Silver 01), a 1/18 scale of my ex-RX300, and now a 1/18th scale of our black IS 250 (well it's a IS350 diecast, but they are the same). Wish we had one of the RX 330/350 to add to the collection.

Tomica Harrier on ebay
They sell this on ebay. I actually have one of these as well as the radio control version posted above. I love the RC version btw. Tomica used to make good die cast stuff. Now their toys are just ok.

That Harrier diecast looks pretty lame compared with the RAV, RX300 and the IS250 we have. Ours have great detail, opening hoods, doors, hatches/trunks, and the interiors even have (simulated) wood trim. The engine details are beautiful, and the undercarriage is exact to the real thing. Also have steerable wheels and correct rims and tires. Would sure like an RX 300/350 the same way.

You said die cast and die cast you got. The 1/63 scale is the only one there is. If you want anything bigger it will have to be the RC one -- which is in 1/24 scale, has great details but doesnt have open doors and interiors.

I have an idea!
Maybe we should knock on the doors of Tamiya, Fujimi or Aoshima to make them produce a 1/24 scale model of the 2nd. gen Toyota Harrier/ Lexus RX!
Those three companies will only make plastic kits, but at least they're fun to work with/ build.

I contacted Kyosho America, they say it has been discontinued for some time now, and they do not have any in stock. They said the best bet would be eBay.

Wow, didn't realize they stopped making these.
Anyway, this place still has stock of the white one: http://www.hlj.com/product/KSH30268W
Looks like it's going to be shipped from Japan. Mine was originally a silver and I painted it to match my car's color.
