Okay guys, some good and bad news. Here's the deal so far~
* There are no color options. Just the slate gray color you see in the pics.
* There are no Coupe versions
* As posted previously in the Amazon Japan link, the car goes for 2200 yen (approx. $18-20 depending on the fluctuating yen rate) but the minimal cost to get one shipped from Japan to the U.S. would be around $18-$20. There is the slow boat method-which would take about a month- but it would only be about $5 less. I have no idea how much more it would cost to get these to Canada so I'd have to check on that if there are any members from Canada that still want to order.
* Depending on how many people will still be interested with all international shipping costs for it to get to me, then to you via USPS mail, the total cost to you would be roughly $45 (again, don't quote me on this since I am basing this on $6-8 for shipping domestically). Shipping to different states may be slightly different as well but you'll have verification of all domestic shipping costs on the mailing label so you know exactly how much it cost. Total shipping time from Japan to you once the order is shipped would be about 8-10 days.
* It wouldn't be practical or cost effective for me to bring in just one or two so unless there are at least 5 people, it'll probably be a no-go.
Currently, it looks like 10 people are "interested". If anyone is still serious and would still like to order one at approximately $45 shipped, please PM me so that I can get a count going and get my order in.
Thanks!

is that a slate gray color or blue slate? in the pictures it looks like blue slate. that thing is really cool, but $50 is a lil rough for a lil toy car. shame they arent sold direct here to avoid the shipping costs.
anyways, great find by your friend. hope you can get enough ppl to order them with you.

Lucky_One - FINAL MEMBER FOR THIS ORDER!!
15 members TOTAL!!. I'll probably cap it at around 10-12 so whoever else wants one, please try and get back to me by the end of this week(Saturday 7/14) so that I can get the order going for the members already listed.
I'll be accepting payment via Paypal since it will probably be most convenient for everyone.
*UPDATED

Maybe this is a bit overboard but did a bit of surfing and found this:

There's stuff that's 1/28 scale but not sure if it would actually work with the parts of the G35's manufacturer. Would be kinda cool to actually do modding on this scale...cheaper too
