I'd want to get a blue one, please.

Put me down for 1 red Prius! I think $10-$15 sounds OK for these small cars. I would pay that. Maybe $20.

Put me down for a white one and one of any other color - one for each of my grandsons! Set up a PayPal account so it's easy for people to pay you, and cover any admin charges from PayPal in your price. Don't forget to cover the cost of the shipping materials and your time to ship them, too. Since you'd need to buy more than 30 of 'em to make up the minimum $200 buy, you'd be doing a lot of shipping - thanks so much for your offer to do this (assuming everything else works out).

I did order one from ToyEast on Ebay, and the total cost including shipping is $11.59, but it's cream-colored rather than white, and I don't know if anything opens on it. It should arrive at my house in about a week - so I MAY want 2 white ones and any other color.

Count me in. Let us know the colours available, and the final cost, and I'll let you know how many I'd like. Thanks!

Are these 1/34 or the more common 1/43?

Happily, I already DO have a PayPal account, but that is getting WAY ahead of ourselves. Once I get cleared by the distributors, then I will find out the # of dozens (since they are sold by boxes of 12) it takes to get the MSRP down so I can even begin to figure the price (and thank you Jeannie--but, I don't plan on losing money on this, neither do I plan on getting rich--I will make sure I am covered, but with PayPal--it should be lots easier than otherwise!)--AND find out how much of a choice of colors there is in the first place, and if I get to choose, or if it is "2 of each of 6 mystery colors per dozen," or what. But I am FAIRLY certain they ain't gonna say "Tideland Pearl," but more like, well, Silver...

Thank you all for your INCREDIBLY fast responses--this gives me a pretty good idea it'll work out. I will come back here and let y'all know...then I expect I'll have to move it over to the private sales forum, no?

Again, thanks everyone, and please, new viewers, keep letting me know so I'll know what I'm up against with the distributors.

Oh...one caution...I suspect I probably can't ship out of the country...although DH & I ARE planning on a trip to Montreal later this year sometime, so who knows...maybe special orders for later! Heckfire, we're going to Seattle in Sept--if anyone from north of the border wants to come down and collect....

1/34. 5" long x 2"W x 1.75H with pullback motor--ya know--ya hold 'em on the ground, pull back and let 'em go, and they crash into stuff. The 2 front doors open but nothing else...They're way fun. I know this because I found two of 'em at a store in LA last week--that was their entire stock, so I bought both of 'em and then tracked down a US distributor from the markings on my nifty black one! Oh, looks like the boxes come in "assorted" colors, so I'll have to find out exactly what that means as to what colors and how many of each--does not sound like I will be able to say I want x of this color and x of that...A lottery!!!!

WITH PULL BACK!? I want 2 now! One for display and one to play with.

Do I know how to sell 'em or what??? And does that mean you're up to $25 now?

I'll keep track of the times of your requests, so if it comes down to dukin' it out over colors, I'll know who got in first...but, I REALLY don't wanna get stuck with 2 dozen of one color no one wants...We may have to say that anyone who wants to pick more than one color has to take one more in a surprise color :P ! Anyway, let's see what is what...c'mon gang--how long did you wait for the full size deal? I just started this thread like 42 MINUTES ago!!!

[TheForce]

Well I do want a red as my first choice. I'll take any color for my second. Do I have to put a $500 deposit on it?

[Cheap!]

One silver for me, but I will have to figure out how to make the hubcaps.
