Can we get someone to organize a group buy? I've seen lots of these personalized by customers to replicate their own cars and would love to have a couple. There also seem to be 3 different NA versions? Top down, top up and hard top (or maybe the HT is just a modded soft top) And of course, all 3 generations.

Hobby Link Japan seems to have all of them at $10 a piece, if a group buy doesn't pan out.

From Hobby Link, 20 of them plus shipping is only $215...putting total each around $10.80...granted I do not see the additional 3 options for the NA on there...wasn't able to quite find them on the original page, although I have a feeling the shipping alone from Hobby Link would make the difference...

Site seems translated very well...so have a feeling they may even speak good English through an email and can get the others...

Definitely in for ~11 bucks. If it is under 20 I probably will still buy one

I can probably ask Club-NA to get them if you guys want?

I saw them on his page recently and that's what inspired me to make this thread. That would be great, as you can communicate our exact requests to someone, rather than dealing with a person behind an unknown company that may have hidden charges, like ordering from HLJ. :bow:

So, I vote yes on Club-NA

I ordered 20 Neko Works toys last year. I can always get a group buy together.

That works too. As long as I get toys!

I.. um... order a ton of stuff from HLJ on a fairly regular basis. I could always order a bunch of cars.

lol! Sorry, I got nothing. I just love these little cars. I bought some from Ken the last time he had them in stock.

Funny this thread should come up. I finished modifying one of mine a couple weeks ago. It looks a bit rough in pix, but all the filler is smooth and it should paint up very nicely.

Mods:
- Turned soft top into hard top. Sanding off the top bow wrinkles was super easy. Filling the window lines and doing the HT window was a bit harder.

-GV tails! I measured everything, drew some scale circles in Illustrator, then cut vinyl dots out with one of my cutters. I then carefully hollowed out the shape with my dremel. Took forever to get it perfectly round.

- Headlight lid intake and TSIs. These were super easy.

- Lower R-pack lip out of bondo. Also, amazingly easy.

And when my 3d scanner finally arrives, I have plans to scan the model so that I can get an accurate mesh of the wheels. Then I'll design some Star Shark inserts and 3d print them.

Yes there is a gentleman in Japan that will custom paint them and add accessories to match what your Miata looks like. This is the "Tamago Roadster Club" display at Karuizawa Roadster Meeting in Japan

If you guys want to put a list together of which toys you want I can get pricing for you. We will split the cost to ship the box to the US (which wouldn't be much) then if it's 3-4 toys can fit in a small flat rate box. Shipping would be $5.15 anywhere in the US.

Can we get other cars than just Miatas? I want a little 911.

Cxmoney
08-01-2014, 05:54 PM
can we get the base prices?

such as;
NA with soft top
NA with hardtop
NA with top down

NB with soft top
NB with hardtop
NB with top down

NC with soft top
NC with hardtop
NC with top down

then of course other makes would be different. I just figured the base price for miatas would be best since this is a Miata forum.. lol

But I would would like one each of the NA's...

I'd like, 2 NA topdown, 1 NA top up, and 1 NA hardtop.

Saito-san told me via FB that the ones from the Tamago Roadster Club is actually not a NEKO WORKS model, it's Mr.MORI's full scratch models. All custom made for the owners. And yes there is a wait list for built versions. But for the base DIY model there is not a wait.

Ah that is actually Colin Niwa's website. Looks like it has not been updated in years! Maybe we could talk with him about custom made versions, or even Joe at Rspeed as they trade stuff back and forth.
