Default Coming soon from Jada Toys

Wasn't sure where to post this, but I was checking out Jada's website and found this
http://www.jadatoys.com/products.php?category=new

Looks like a blue tC and a red tC.

Yeah they are all over ebay but they are soon to be an exclusive on the Jada Toys website along with all the other lines of toys they sell..

Just incase people dont feel like over paying for them on ebay.

I have a couple sets shipping from eBay. Wanted to get them ASAP. Got one set for me, and one for the girl.

I just hope they start making some more... like a couple 1/64s too. Maybe a giant chub city r/c?

I was sent one of these in the mail by Toyota Corporate headquarters as a gift because of the recall with the whole wind deflector.

The one you got from Scion is different. It's a limited production to be given ONLY for the wind deflector thing.

You can't buy them in stores. Though there are usually a ton on eBay.

These are the hobby/retail releases from Jada Toys. They were just released last night to hobby wholesalers. EBAY sellers were selling pre orders or dealer samples.

You have to understand that this is the type of car they're making for this entire line. The OptionD line is all stuff like this.

If you guys don't like them, that's cool. But they're the first production tC diecasts... and I have two sets shipping as I type this. Then again, the g/f and I have like 30+ xB diecasts/RCs/toys... and we don't even have an xB.

I agree with ack. The cars are pretty ricetacular but thats how Jada makes all their models and they are the only tC diecasts out at the moment. Plus I have my wind def one just sitting in the box and I need another to play with out of the box.

Haha... that's exactly where mine is right now. In the box. My g/f has the limited one on the way as well. And we each have a set of the others coming.

I don't get what you guys' point is here. People don't like these 'ricey' ones, they don't like them. Period. No one's criticizing you or blaming your for these (which is actually quite odd for this flame-happy board). I don't think anyone misunderstands the Option D line. I understand that the model was gonna be a little tricked out, but these are a bit much for me. I like the Recall one I got, but I don't want any of these.

Maybe this will help:

"Dear Jada Toys,
I love the attention to detail you put into your product, however, you're ghetto-rice fascination is getting out of hand. Please develop a new line called 'Clean' and leave off the giant-sized spoilers, 22 inch rims and none of that sponsor-sticker crap all over the car. If you do this, I would buy twice as many Jada's...which means I would buy 2."

Thanks.

Well what I'm hoping is that this is just the start of companies developing tC toys. Once there are a couple out there and people see they'll sell well, more people will produce them and there will be more choices.

Sure, we might still end up with a wing here or canards there or something else stupid... but it happens. But I'll probably be buying every one I can find, no matter what it looks like.
