Was visiting family in Japan and my cousin took me to a game center where she played one of those pick up and drop style games and won this for me. For some reason those games are really popular in Japan. Dunno if she specifically went after the skyline since she knows I like them or what but thought it was pretty funny. It's remote control but only has forward and back buttons...if you want it to turn you gotta pick it up and set the wheels to that direction.
On another note I did see some skylines driving around...mostly R34 style for the ones I saw. Maybe 1-2 of the current style. Usually they were driving by or I'd see them parked while riding the train so didn't get a chance to snap any shots.

The reason those games are popular in japan is because they dont glue the prizes together there like they do here in the states. :- ) I've played that game maybe 50 times and I've not won once.

I believe that's the new RC made by a company called @CAR. Japanese grocery stores have been selling pull back toys like the one shown above for around $4.00 in SoCal. I have the R34, HakoSuka, and a silver G35C. Too bad I can't find a distributor for these toys in US.
