Can I ask you how much you paid? When I first heard of it the prices were over the $200+ range and I could not justify the cost

that is so cheap. the cheapest i could find for this was just under $200+ taxes.

the first edition of this model (ie. before the engine swap) which sold out years ago... i'm seeing prices in the $400 range. that's insane.

I was lucky enough to find the first edition used for a very decent price a couple of years ago.

As for the new release, an US seller had a few on ebay last week for only $153US w/ free shipping to the states, sold out in less than an hour! Missed out.

That's like $200 with taxes, so damn expensive. You have to pay tax at Wilkinsons right? I regret not pre-ordering.

No, I can't find anywhere that has it in stock for less then $200. I think Wilkinsons is the cheapest, don't know if I really want to shell out $200 though. I spent close to $200 on the AutoArt NSX Type R already.

Found at the ToysRUs Express in North Van, but only could find the one. Also their selection isnt great unless you are looking for a NSX Concept(1), Delorean(2), red WRX w/ decals(2 or 3).
