Since the other thread got closed due to my nonconformation with the moderators, Ive started it again.
I knwo there was a thread made about this before but didnt want to revive it due to the forum rules. I havent found one dsm diecast online and was wondeirng if any of you or most of you would be interested in purchaseing one if one was out and available. I've got a contact here at work that might be able to get diecast cars made, provided specs and pics of said cars. The bad thing is that the diecasts would be manufactureded overseas in taiwan, to keep costs down mostly. I don't like how everything these days is made overseas, but if we wanted a limited edition of diecasts to be made in good ol usa, wed end up paying 10 times or more for the same product that will be produced in taiwan, thats the only reason for submitting it there. In order to do this, we'd need plenty of dsm interoir and exterior pictures with even factory manual drawings that outline the body/frame to make the car look as real as possible, and I would guess people would have to pay for their car and waits months before receivng it due to the time of them actually being made after th efirst sample was approved by the whole bunch of tooners and the shipping time. I think its a great idea if alot of us would get in on this and plan something out to get 1g diecasts and even 2g diecast, but especially the 1g's since they're the last of a dying breed. Id appreciate any response and hope alot of you have something to chime in about this subject. I know they make diecasts of old cars these days, but I doubt that they will make diecasts of dsms in 40 years.
yes the outlines would help, Id appreciate any technical drawings like that which would make the making eaiser, and yes I was speaking of a stock dsm, not a fast and furious one, if you have body outlines and whatnot for 1ga and 1gb Id appreciate, 2gs as well, But I will try to get the 1gs quoted first after i get all the info. Please send me any pictures of interior shots or body drawing which u guys thing would be relative to [email protected] , Thank you and keep the ideas coming,
Ohyeah,
I really doubt that it woulld go for over 100$ after produced, im thinking anywhere from 50-80 for a nicely detailed model
Plus, Since the cars would require licencing from the manufacturers most likely, The cars/boxes for the would most likely be labeled "1ga dsm' or "1gb dsm" something along those lines" Or we can just call em eagle talons since eagle is out of business anyways.
Im not trying to make a profit off of this if any, I dout there will be. Every other performance car out there has a diecast of it, even the focuses and celicas do, integras etc... But the dsm doesnt. With your guys help hopefully a diecast dsm production may be made, even if its limited.
PS: Defiant, we love you old man

Best bet for you is to look on ebay, although I found one at walmart yesterday 
I ended up buying a R/C Eclipse instead
