I found an interesting piece in a Toys R Us Express this evening. Never seen these in one of their main stores. This is apparently a Rastar Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4.

It's not horrible, but not anything to write home about either.

The text on the base reads XINGHUI AUTO MODEL CO. LTD.

Wait- are those screws on the bottom? Why yes, yes they are!

Well, good to see it passed quality control before it was assembled! :lol:

Looks pretty good for what it is...although I think the price is a bit much for what it is. Looks on a par with Welly, Realtoy and better bottom end Maistos.

Are there other models available?

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
For $.97 its not bad. For $1.97... Less so.

The only other one at the store was an orange Gallardo. Apparently there's a Reventon as well. I won't be adding anymore of these at $2 each but I figured the one was ok just to get something a bit different.

I've seen these from some sellers overseas but that's the first I've seen of anyone finding them here. I haven't seen any good pictures of the Reventon, I'm curious how it stacks up.

Rastar also manufactures cheap (but officially licensed) R/C cars. I've seen them at stores in the TJ Maxx/Marshall's family. Haven't stumbled upon these yet, however...

These were a lot better in the early editions which still had interiors, tampoed details and clear windows.

I found mine at a TRU outlet about 9 months ago.

My examples must be the earlier ones that Siniweb mentions as they have the clear glazing and interior detail. I got them from a discount store over here about 6 months ago. They cost 1 pound each (approx $1.50). It's VERY unusual for any Asian diecast to be cheaper in Europe than in the US!

Interesting! Looks like the interior'd versions have better tampo detail as well.

Yeah the interior versions look nicer. The packaging looks the same.
