I'd be all over it if it came in RRP with the proper tails.

I'd be more interested in a plastic model you do yourself.

yeah it sucks that most the colors they dont have. I would also be interested in a plastic model too havent seen or heard they even exist though. I know thats been a topic on here before. But this is the cheapest i have found as far as they go.

no idea on the kit. none of the models ive seen online have the aspec kit on them. I jumped at it because it was fairly cheap compared to others i have seen and i been looking for a while. there are a few other sellers on there with some different colors but not as cheap as the one i listed above.

Hey look, even on the NBP models, the paint is already all swirled and in need of polishing.... Quite appropriate!

LoL.

These look pretty sweet. But for $100+ after shipping, I don't think I'll be pulling the trigger.

This was originally sold by Supercomputer here, I bought ABP version from him.
Supercomputer imported a bunch of these like 7 years ago?

The model is modeled after the Chinese TL so you'll see a reflector plate at the rear bumper. It's quite nice. Looks like the seller is in China and that's where it's still being sold.

$130 shipped for this little made in china TL?? Hell no. Maybe if they had the 07-08 model with the correct lights at the rear end and not the china version with the reflectors in the bumper..

"Cool! Is this a diecast model of your TL? How come the rear tail lights and the rear bumper don't look like yours?"
"It's made in china"

I know this is cheaper than what other websites are asking for, and it's a rare find indeed but $130 is still WTF to me. Like I said, if there were turn signal mirrors along with front fog lights and the correct rear bumper and 04-06 tails or 07-08 base or type-s tails than I would consider it..

I guess I'm just nit-picking, but $130!!!!!!!!!??

Just to be clear, you're complaining about a model based on another country's codes and regulations that it's not like the US version. I know of no other models in this size for the TL.

Welcome to the free market. For what it's worth, the model is really good.

I have about 12 mini me cars for my 1991 Z28... The taillights on the TL one do look a little weird but, with some red food coloring you could stain the lenses a little bit then clear over them to get that darker red that is accurate.

I did not realize I was complaining about a diecast TL replicated after the China version.

Thanks for making it clear Cpt. Obvious.

Thanks for sharing...I think part of the fun would be getting it and trying to make it look like your full sized TL.

That said, I wouldn't spend $100 for it.
