GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I have been checking the Matchbox website about once a week. Today the results came back positive. From what their website says, it is out. Take a look at the link. http://www.matchbox.com/us/product.asp? ... type_id=17 I might have to stop by the store on the way home!

now I have to go back to buying toys again

I'll have to look for one too I guess...Now ... how to repaint it

quote:Now ... how to repaint it Its the right color for me

Guess I'll be buying mine online. no Walmart or Toys-R-Us in Fairbanks. There's not much here.

Sweet....I work at a grocery store and can get first dibs on the cars that come in! I will see how many I can get! If I can get extras anyone interested? REPLY or IM me!

Well, even if it isn't the right colour, I will go out and buy one.....got to go to Zellers anyway today.....

I gotta get one, i can't wait. I have a decent collection of them anyways, so a Vibe one would just be awesome.

I just went to Toys R Us and Wal-Mart. Neither one had anything new yet. I will keep checking everytime I get a chance.

Went to Toys R us and Walmart and Target.. No Vibes.. Jeeeez

I don't think they have got any of their new shipments in. And if they do, they probably won't put them out for a while.

Went to the hobby shop and he said "no problem" after I told him that I need some for the group! He said that he will call me! I will keep you posted! Reply or IM me if interested!

I checked my local WalMart, Kmart, and KayBee toys today. No Vibe to be found.It's interesting though that several matchbox models are for cars (or trucks) not yet even in production.KSNeptune

The guy at the hobby shop said that he didn't think that it was out yet! He did say that a couple of the other cars in the set were out, so the Vibe would be coming out soon!

If any one in Canada spots one of these, please let me know!

With Matchbox company's never ending quest to make their model cars as realistic as possible, Matchbox has announced that all Canadian purchasers of the Matchbox VIBE will be forced to wait for 6 months for it, then pay more than usual. The salespeople will be instructed to be arrogant and rude during this entire transaction. We will flood the U.S. market with an abundant surplus, and intentionally starve the Canadian market. We hope this will make your Matchbox purchase as realistic as a full size VIBE in Canada.

ROFL!That wouldn't surprise me if it happened, ya know. lol.Anyway, I gotta hit up target tomorrow, I'll let y'all know if I stumble across da vibe!

lol!

That is pretty funny! LOL!

Good one!

rofl

I need/want one if you get them. I keep looking but can't find one

I have been looking for these for a while - Never found one- I also have been looking for a remote controlled VIBE like the ones made for the PT Cruiser and the Focus- Anyone see one?

I've been looking for a remote controlled one or even one of those little zip zaps from Radio Shack. No luck.

I will have to look into that

Getting ready to stop by the hobby shop to see if there's any word on it....I will keep you guys updated!

Do ya think they'll have that 'New car smell'?

i have been on a non-stop search for this, i wonder if is even out.

quote:i have been on a non-stop search for this, i wonder if is even out.I'm not thinking so. I haven't even seen any of the rest of the series it's in ("School-Time") on E-Bay.

Well, i have a friend at Walmart, and he went through all the toys in the back and could not find me one.

I didn't ask which ones! But still no VIBE....

If you guys and gals are looking for a diecast model, Yat Ming makes a 1:18th scale of the 2003 Vibe GTR in red or yellow. The link below offers the best price, unless you do alittle surfing of your own. http://diecastcars.tv/yatming_2003pontiacvibegtr.html

UPDATE:I just got in two cardboard "shippers" of the hotwheel city hero set at work and NOTHING just an F.Y.I.....

Damn.Anyone e-mail them to ask if it's acutally shipping yet?

I gotta have one! Let me know if you find any msmyer.

quote:I gotta have one! Let me know if you find any msmyer.Sure will....I was hoping they would be out before the Ohio meet so I could bring them there....I will check the hobby shop today!

found this on ebay. looks like they're the prototypes for all 6 in the series. starting bid is $99! ouch. i think i'll wait til they come on the market! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... tegory=761

Any sightings yet?

quote:Any sightings yet?Yes, finally -- though the first sighting was in an overseas Toys 'R Us store.One little bit of news is that Matchbox scaled down the Vibe GT emblem and included that as part of the toy casting.

i want one, but don't want to pay $99 bucks for it! i'm better off getting the mini r/c voltz for $99 limited production of 500. i just want the little matchbox that cost like $3!

Here is an ebay listing for the Matchbox Vibe: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... tegory=761

quote:Here is an ebay listing for the Matchbox Vibe: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... tegory=761 Holy Crow!$20.28 plus $5 shipping ... that's nuts.

That's ridiculous! You can't tell me you won't be able to get these in the store when Matchbox gets more of them on the store shelves. I'll just wait until I can get the car for $0.99.

I'll just wait until I can get the car for $0.99.Same here.I was watching that one on Ebay, but only until it got past $5 and then I said Forget It! I'll wait too till they have them in Walmart for 99 cents and then buy a few of them.

Hey I just found two at my local Walmart. I called my dealer to get a touchup container of Fusion(orange) to paint my car and he laughed at me. Told me the only way he was going to mix up fusion orange was if I dam aged the car. I told him no chance. Check your Walmarts, or travel to New Hampshire.

i seriously doubt the dealer has the right to deny you a product because of how you are using it. what an a-hole. i wanna get a blue one and put it in my vibe! i could probably set it on my dash, the fuzzy cover would hold it pretty good

I'm surprised that the dealer would need to mix up a bottle. I would think you can just order it (seeing that you can get almost all the 2004 Pontiacs in that colour).

Would anyone be willing to buy it for $20 plus $5 for shipping?Ok, OK......give me $25 and the shipping is free! Just kidding Sorry, but I wouldn't attempt to screw over my fellow Vibe owners like them Ebay people. Especially since I paid only $0.84 for it.I gotta say though, it looks kinda cheesy. There's no detail at all, the whole thing is all one color, even the tail lights.But Hey...........I have one

damn! i just won one for $10.50! oh well. still fun by the time our walmart gets them, it'll be next year...
