Even when you do not have a Z anymore, you still keep an eye out for them. Yesterday I was in Sam's Club and saw this die cast Maistro. Of course I had to buy it for $11.88.

Saweet!!! I want one!

I bought a 1:18 collectable just the other day on eBay. It's on the fireplace mantle. I was thinking of getting another for my office. Funny, the box says "300ZX Turbo". I wonder what's in the 240Z box; an RX-7?

What is the scale/size of that one (given that they got the car wrong, the scale might be wrong too)? Where there other colors?

Thats a model in the background. Looks to be 1:18 like yours.

I've also seen the Maisto 240Z in orange w/slot mags instead of hubcaps. Does yours have California plates on it (755 DAR)?

The Yellow 240Z is 1/18th scale and the 300ZX is 1/24th scale.

Definately gonna keep my eye out for those at the local Wal-Mart.

At $12 each, I'm in for 3. I'll repaint one to model after my 70'. Then do the Bright Orange to model it after the 260Z build that I hope to finish this year (if the green Z sells) then one to keep "As Is".

My brother-in-law got this for me, not sure where from, but it is fun to own! Sorry about the dust!!

Same California plate, 755DAR. The base plate says it is a 1971 Datsun 240Z.

The 300ZX is a Tamiya model kit I brought back from Hong Kong last month.

Something else I picked up in Hong Kong, a 1/58 scale Remote Control 240ZG. It even has working headlights.

FYI

Stopped at Costco in Grafton, Wisconsin tonight. They had at least 6 of the 1971 240Z collectibles in their Christmas season gifts area. Yellow and Orange colors. Both had California plates 755DAR and hubcaps, boxes were marked correctly. Same Maistro packaging and look as shown in Nota280's post from July from Sam's Club. I bought one of the Orange ones for $11.88 at Costco.

Here is what I bought tonight. Looks like packaging might be a little different than the Sam's Club version after a second look.

My son and I used to have a '71 918 Orange with black interior and the "D" hubcaps -I'll have to go to the Costco nearby and see if they have a couple of the die cast models there.

I got two of them,yellow and orange.

I posted one on ebay ....

I can't resist even when am selling my little collection.
