buying diecasts

[robr]

I need a diecast of a recent Toyota Celica GT in blue, sort of like this one, but a GT version (not GT-S) that looks completely stock. Any ideas where to buy one?

Larger scale is fine. Thanks!

I doubt you'll be able to find one in blue.

AUTOART makes a 1:18 Celica, but only in silver, red, yellow, and black.

High Speed makes a nice 1:43 Celica, but I am only seeing blacks and reds.

And finally, there is a small (1:34?) scale Celica available as a pullback toy, but I don't see a blue either. Only reds, blacks, silvers and whites. These are those cheapie toys you'll find at gas stations, car washes, and swap meets. They usually come in a box of 10 or 15, so if you come across them, you should ask the retailer/vendor if they ever came in blue.

Sorry I couldn't help you more.

Thanks for the research. I know someone, somewhere made one at some point. When we bought her Celica GT back in 2000, the sales guy at the dealership had one on his desk but wouldn't give it to us. I'm not sure what the scale would be, but it was about 6" long.
