I think it's safe to say there's interest. How many do they need to sell to make the operation profitable?

This has already been posted before, and no matter how many people voted for one, they never made one, and this will not change anything.
Maxima's diecast will never be made.!

It's an anti-maxima, anit-moonshot conspiracy I tell you!

I still say go for it, but you might want to look at places to sell them first: here, redlinemax.com, custommaxima, Nissan dealerships, ect.

I think we should start looking into other companies that might consider this. Show them how bad we want this...

Maistro, Bburago (very nice quality), and any other large company you guys might suggest.

I bet they can easilly sell 10,000 within a month. Having redline, CE, and the org buying them... they would make a load off this.

It's better to start off with a 4th gen or a 5.5 gen due to the higher demands, then go from there.

I would but every gen in black... and maybe other colors eventually....

but it won't get done. What would be sweet: make all stock and have little mods and decals available

it'd feel like being 10 again

Ricedout,

Thanks for your support on this topic!! A fellow .org member, JdoubleOe703 from Los Angeles, has called and spoken to my brother as well in order to garner support for this potential project. As I have said in my previous posts, I would like to see this come to fruition as well.

My vote is for a black 2000 GLE! (but I guess I am biased)

Gus

did a little research, to make a maxima in a diecast 1: 24 model , the molding/tooling cost will be $10,000. Then there's an additional cost of the model itself. So It shows you how many they would need to sell just to break even...

I wouldn't buy a 1:24 diecast... 1:18 only.

Lets say it cost them $15K to build the moldings...

we have about 250-300 ppl here interested, just with that amount of people, we would be able to pay for the models which would run us about $50 each, which is what im expecting to pay for a quality model.
