$20 from Ebay. Arrived in NY in 7 days.
It's a kit you assemble, not hard to do. Plastic is painted parts, not molded colored plastic. Nice dark charcoal metallic quality paint.Pretty nice quality too.:w00t:
Uses AAA batts. though...:confused:
It actually works pretty good!:clap:

Same color?
Yeah, I've no beef with paying $20 for something I can't seem to find anywhere around here!
The stickers are very authentic, they stay on real good too.

Matchbox is like 1:64, so 1:43 is'nt a bad size.
They have some real nice BIG 1:18 (?) Yari on Ebay, but they want over $100 for them.:mad:
Are these from Ebay too?

Yeah, same color but I think a sticker or two may have fallen off. Dang Texas heat!

Echo_hrs, if you have a source of those Minichamps, I would be interested especially in the red one you posted (mine is a black 3dr, but that red looks kickass!). I have not seen them on eBay here and the Yaris diecast I have seen are waaaay overpriced!

It's a bummer as we used to live within a 2-hr drive of Minichamps' headquarters in Aachen, Germany when I was stationed in Belgium. I collect diecast motorcycle models and have several of theirs, but I never made it up there.

Cheers! M2

Haha I bought 2 of those R/C cars, plus a few of the Tomica diecast ones in the small boxes. I love my wee yarii.

Nice RC, auxmike. Now that's something I'd be proud to chase my little nephew around with in my driveway on a day-off :evil:

This one looks real good, what do you think?

for display only, though. I gotta say, I'm really tempted.

Nice3, but ships from Denmark!:eek:
You need an international credit card, whatever that is....

International Credit Card same as domestic: Visa, MC, AmEx, but there are fees for currency conversion, I bet. :(

sorry about the thread 'jack.

There are domestic (US) retailers for Minichamps, you just gotta look! Try these guys:

I'm big into slot cars.....I'll be keeping my eye open for a Yaris someday. MINIs, and Fiat 500s, and Citroen C2s they've got but no Yaris yet. Something tells me I might not want to hold my breath on this.

Actually I just bought the below diecast model on ebay, it looks pretty detailed and if you want i will send it to your address for $20 inc. shipping.

I was going to paint it gray and I think I found one like auxmike (http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/member.php?u=5764)s', it is almost the same strucute of my ride! I will post photos later on as soon as it arrives...

I'm down to buy but how much is the shipping gonna be from where you are at?

skieran
09-07-2010, 02:39 PM
It's from an ebay auction and I bought it for $9.99 + postage and packaging via Standard Int'l Flat Rate Shipping of $11.95

It makes a total of US $21.94, however I will be happy to ask the ebay user to send it to your address for $20!

PM if interested! I checked your garage and it really matches your ride! :thumbup:
