ERTL
Read this. I have highlighted important information and pasted it here:
"These highly-detailed 1:64 scale die-cast cars are shipping to retailers now and will be on shelf for the holiday shopping season. Additional 1:64 scale and 1:18 scale "tuner" car die-cast collectibles, including the cars featured in the upcoming The Fast and the Furious 2, will be introduced throughout 2003."
Now,
from what I have seen (picked up the oogly eclipses for some friends who have real DSM's) on the back of their packaging. NO NISSANS HAVE BEEN SCHEDULED TO BE MADE. So, we need to envelop them in enthusiasm, okay? Please be responsible about this!

Dear Ertl,
I have seen that you are currently making 1:64 scale diecast cars from the movie _Fast and the Furious_. I also see that you will be making 1:18 scale cars of these same vehicles. Is there a chance you will be making any of the Nissans featured in the first movie into diecast cars? I would be very interested and excited to purchase these, as a Nissan enthusiast. As a Maxima enthusiast member of www.maxima.org and other local maxima enthusiast clubs like ((plug your local club here)), I would be particularly interested in seeing the blue 4th generation maxima (1995-1999) become a diecast model.
Thank you very much for your time,

End of instructions!
Please don't mess this up. This is a legitimate chance for us to get a diecast 4th gen; who cares if it is ricey. They mod diecasts now (I can give you guys a HOST of links for parts), so as long as we have the shape, we're all set, right kids? Please help us out. I am an avid diecast collector, and I love my car. I WANT A DIECAST OF MY CAR! Heck they have Dodge Intrepid diecasts, gimme a break!

Let's start with the cars that were IN the movie. They are making cars that aren't even IN the movie as well in this line of diecasts, if you read. It's pretty stupid. If we all do this, we have a chance. I am also working on getting a custom done...but that's $. Anyhoo, yes, just copy & paste (editing the (()) stuff), send to address indicated with subject of something like "fast and the furious diecasts" and if we all do it...we have a chance. Demand creates supply.
or do they erica ?

Wonder if anyone ever collected Maxima brochures? I know I've gotten them from 1996-2002, every year, but unfortunately I didn't keep them in one place (don't think I threw them out though). Car literature is interesting when it gets old too.

lol! Thanks, everyone! I'm really hoping they recognize the need We really need to spam them, as DEMAND CREATES PRODUCT! We don't want them to lose money. Heck, my mom said she'd buy one (she has a 96 SE).

I am also working on custom options, as I mentioned. But I feel this is a good step. Hey the maxima did a nice little burnout, so maybe they will recognize it. Anyway, thank you all for your support! We need RECOGNITION!

got an email back
from these guys saying thanks and they'll forward it to Product Development. Well it's a start!! I'm figuring everyone who emailed will get a response back from them??
It's encouraging that they took the time to respond!!
