    Hey guys...

    While living in Japan I came accross this promotional Ferrari collectable.

    Asahi coffee is packaging unique 1/72 ferrari cars with 2 can coffee sets. The sets are for sale in convienence stores all over Japan.
    The cars are made by Hot Wheels, and I dont know if they are avaialble outside of this promotion. The promotion runs from 4/18 to 5/8.
    You can buy athe whole set in a labelled bag, or individually. I bought a set.
    There are seven cars:
    250GTO
    Dino
    512 Boxer
    Testarossa
    F40
    F50
    Enzo

    The cars have good detail for being so small, mirrors, seats, engines in some, rubber tires.

    Anyway, have a look at the pics. Seems a very unique deal, is this available in EU or the US?

    I think that it will show up on ebay quite a bit.
    I am certainly in place to pick them up, but not so well set up to sell them.

    Hey found another promotion now with mercedes cars. I only grabbed this one with a 1/100 300SL. They have alot of cars, including the SLR.

    This coffee company promotes with little car toys a couple times a year. Seems a good idea.

    I think its only in Japan. may turn up on ebay I suppose

    Cheers
