    I heard that Mattel will be producing a 250 GT/L Lusso in 1:18 scale shortly, can anyone verify this? If so when?

    If you look on GPmini.qc.ca, you can see a picture of the 250 GT in the same
    burgundy at the mattel 250 GT california, and I believe it has a June release 2004.

    Here's the photo. Gotta love that stand. Interesting that the windows are blacked out and the lights are painted silver.

    Wayne, I think that after looking closely, the windows have some paper over them and the lights are painted over to reduce the glare from the flash.

    Hi, I'm new in this forum.
    I've heard that Ferrari 250 GT/L Lusso will be on shops in september.
    In the web "Ferrarine.it" you've all the news and the links to get the model, and of course the photographs.

    Don't hold your breath guys - remember this is the company with the worst marketing and distribution "plan" in existence. We've been teased with the Lusso since well before Christmas.

    I still can't find the 360CS in Canada!

    Oh how I loathe Mattel! :)

    Hello. Joe V, think that in Spain we won't have no Ferrari 456 M GTA no Ferrari 360 Challenge Stardale or Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta....
    I think that Mattel's Spain distributor is the worst in the world...

    Wanted to update: I just received my 360CS and 365 GTB/4. Only one place (that I could find) had the Challenge Stradale in Canada.
