Tamiya 1:12 288 GTO diecast

Can't wait for this. I just hope it's not gonna be $700.

 

I can't wait either. It was announced a few weeks ago, at the toy show in Germany. I believe that the body will be plastic, like their 1:12 Enzo, rather than diecast.

 

Good discussion on it here: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=185330

Hard to say. I've got two Tamiya 1:12 scale models (F50 & Enzo). 50% are plastic and the other 50% are metal

Edit: post number 1,000 (I never thought this day would come)

 

Any idea of when and how much?

 

No firm info on either. Soon and around $400 is my educated guess...

 

I forgot about the F50. That wasn't package the same way, and in the same state of semi-assembly, as the Enzo, was it? The 288GTO packaging and assembly of the model in the packaging looks identical to the Enzo and the Porsche Carrera GT, another plastic-shell 1:12 from Tamiya.

And, congrats on hitting the milestone 1k ! I have just a little ways to go to catch up

 

Retailers have it listed for $699 USD, with delivery slated for May.

If you feel lucky, you could buy it from a Hong Kong ebay seller when it is released. I did that on my 1:12 Enzo a couple years ago. It got here to the US in perfect condition, and I saved about $200.

 

Congrats as well. Looking forward to that model. Looks really stunning. Got now 2 1:12's. GTO (64) and the Enzo. So I think I'll buy this one as well.

 

The F50 was packaged differently, but was semi-assembled.

That's what I did with my Enzo too... got it for a shade over $400.

 

Me too - $407, including shipping, way back in 2004. We must have used the same seller

 

GOD! i want one NOW!!!!!!

 

Bet anyone that mine arrives faulty. That is a bet i would be more than happy to lose.

 

That is going to be the coolest model in my collection! I can't wait to get it!!!

 

Exoticar (not my favorite) has it on the website for $700....

 

I refuse to buy anything from them. I never have, and withh all the cr@p I have heard & read about 'em, I never will.

 

I know that's right. I bet they're just quoting available info anyway. I'd bet money they don't have one (or any) at all.

 

I feel exactly the same way. I have bought from them in the past but never online--always in person. Speedgear is my new place. By the way guys--for those of you that live in US-- any other sources for die-cast Ferraris ( other than E-bay)????

 

Exoticar.com has it listed for $699.99

 

YES when you bought it in a shop, but by ebay the price are -40-50%.


So someone can tell me when this GTO 1/12 will be available on market?

 

That is the question of the hour...

 

OOhhhhhh..i m ready!!!!
