I totally wasn't looking, because I never expected to see one...but just last week I was at Walmart looking at diecast cars...and I found this for $20

That looks pretty sweet. That's 20 Canadian right?Inder

Yeah, $20 Canadian...so about $5 US What a bargain! I've never seen one up here, I was pretty excited!

Wow! I want one. I have only found 1 in stores and it was an all gray small remote control car with removable body kit pieces. I want one like that! Taking orders?!?

Wow....I'll have to go look for that. What brand is it?Even the dash is correct...that's just awesome. Great attention to detail.

I can't remember what brand it was....and unfortunately it was the only one at the store!! A lucky find for sure. Great idea though...hmm...if I spot more, maybe I should grab them!

Looks like it's a trip to walmart on my next paycheck..

Too bad its the '04 body

Yeeeah...while i'd still get it if it was the newer '05...it's much better to be the '04...I still think it's more aggressive.

They forgot the RC looking antenna that comes on our cars Inder

I'm going to have to go buy that lol. Add it to my collection of the red GTR diecast I have.

It's a recessed Pontiac grille...that's all.

lol hardcore! I've seena few on ebay! As much as I hate Wal-Mart I may have to go get one and repaint it with my expert model building skillz I found a couple Matchbox Satellite Vibes at my work, if anyone wants one let me know, there's a few left. I bought one and gave INder one.We should all get one and paint them to match our cars and bring them to the Rally in June.

That one is cooler than mine!! I got the Yellow version at Wal-Mart.

Well how come everybody's been keeping it a secret until now? LOL

I went to TWO Wal-Marts and couldn't find any I found Focus's, Civic Si's but no Vibes I'll look again later. What brand is that one?

That's hot!I also found a Matchbox Superfast VibeGT at Wally-world recently:

Super fast....Vibe GT....Not usually used in the same sentence by me

You bought one so there must have been something you liked about it.

If I can manage to sneak away from my g/f for a few minutes when we're shopping at WalMart, I peek in the toy section for mini-Vibes sometimes. Still haven't found any near me yet. Lots of ricer stuff, though . I'll have to run out and check again.

I noticed that too while I was there...TONS of street racing tuner cars...why didn't they have these cool cars when I still played with them? I was stuck playing with stock corvettes, ferraris, and imports lol.

Guess Wal-Mart aligns their toy car distribution to regional GM sales, 'cuz I've been looking for toy Vibes in half a dozen Wal-Marts near me (Houston) and haven't found a single Vibe. :-(I really want a new ornament for my monitor at work...

I bought a Toyota Voltz on Ebay! Pics when it gets here!http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...WN:IT

Seen the odd matrix though.Celtic_Curse - you should keep your eye out for them since you're there all the time!

at one of our foreigner stands in the mall they sell model cars and i see two gtrs every time, a yellow and a red one.

that's a good idea. I didn't think to check the mall. Theres afew toy stores that may carry em.

What brand is it?The brand is Yat Ming, the same manufacture who made the 1:24 scale blue and white ones and the 1:18 red and yellow GT-Rs. I have been wanting to get the newer GT-Rs as well. It comes in both white and green. I will have to look at the Wal-Mart's around here.And I have to agree, thank goodness it is the '03/'04 body. Here are a couple pics from the Yat Ming website:

wonderful, how much are they from the site? $19.95 plus $4,000 shipping an dhandling.
