Nissan Cube; Uh-Oh...

So there I was, minding my own business...when all of a sudden these three Nissans called to me. While not the most attractive thing on the road, they certainly are unique. As much as I want them now, the house/HOA payment has to be made. Let's see - hmmm - house payment or toys. :wacko:

I think I'll wait for GVC or ToyEast to stock them before committing to buy.

Support your local demo derby.

These are suppose to be imported to the states sometime in the next couple of years. I posted a link to an article on this car/thing a while back in the o/t section. $20+ for just one casting seems way too steep to me. Like you said David, better off till they hit US distributers.

Found thread of the actual '09 Cube. http://swiftysgarage.net/topic/385671/1/

Looks like a bite sized Honda Element. Cute, but I wouldn't want to meet a straight wind.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
Nice replica of a hideous car! The only surprise is that it's taken Nissan this long to get one to the States.

So I did a *little* bit of searching and came up with this...

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=124845

It looks rather interesting in 1:1, so I'll just stick to the Tomy version.

Its not properly out yet. This source looks to have pre-pro or back door specials.

It won't be $20 when its out - more like $2. I live in the UK and get mine from Hong kong via the post. True I pay postage but if I go out searching for HW or MB I can pay a similar amount in fuel.

Tomicas used to be imported to the UK but haven't been for about 10 years now.

Thanks for your info. As Sir Crafty said, I too will wait for it to hit US distribution.
