die cast model maximas?

im sure this has been asked before, but has anyone ever seen one? even a Cefiro would be good. of course, i would prefer a 5th gen, but i have hunted all over the place and i cant track one down. I have a model of my 98 accord coupe, and im gonna get one of the 3000GT i had, i wanna try and get a max if possible.

I think I seen a 3rd gen, never a 4/5th.. We have tried to get a company to mass produce them but the demand wasn't there.

yeah, I've seen all the Z kits/models and really wish for a Max. Maybe the org can organize an order for diecasts from a company and raise money for the site too. I'd buy one of every gen, maybe even different colors of each.

I've been looking high and low for one for about a year. Nothing. Only 350z (which i am tired of!) skyline (it's not even imported here!).

I've lost all hope

I would buy a black one of of every Gen, I agree with EvilRoadsVictim, I am tired of the 350 models, but as for the Skyline, I have a black diecast R32 & R34, both made by JadaToys, awesome detail!

Surprisingly they don't even have the Fast and the Furious maxima as a diecast model. They have all the other cars from the movie including other nissans, but no blue maxima. Sure the movie was corny, but you'd think they'd at least have a model of that maxima since they have all the other cars.

The keychain is a 4th gen model. I bought one, the part that connects the little Maxima to the keychain broke . .

I am a collector so far as for Nissan models i have an R34 by Jada Toys. i have a black and a white escalade by DUB, also a black and a yellow lexus IS 300 also the fast and the furiuos evolution and a lamborghini murciellago. Lastly i have the 1:10 scale model RC Navigator , and a 1:10 Supra.

I think Dodge / Chrysler paid to have them made when those cars came out. As these models are promo items, but im not sure.

Thats the ebay auction, Brookfield Collectors Guild might be the company who made them.
