Die-cast or model MX-3s?

I've had my mx-3 for almost 2 years now, and cannot find ANY MX-3 toys, models, scale cars, or anything out there. I was wondering if we got enough interested ppl in on it, and someone knew someone in the toy industry we could maybe get a group buy going.
Unfortunately I don't know anyone who'd be able to do this, but i'm sure someone might know somewhere that does custom jobs, i'm sure there's enough ppl that would b interested to make it worth it.

Or of you know of a place I might get any MX-3 memorobilia, plz lemme know.
thx

Been looking since 97' and found nothing. I also would be interested in a model, but unless you want to try to make one out of another kit I think you are screwed.

Stop looking-- no one makes them.

With some creativity, paint and a dremel, you can make your own:

It is a Zip-Zaps style RC Car.

It used to be a Celica.

You know-- with some creative painting-- this could easily be turned into an MX-3.

Its an Opel Tigra.

i was thinking more of a Supra...just customize the headlights, the kit a bit, and get the back off of that OPEL...and you'd be good

HEY!! That looks EXACTLY like a...


Supra with MX-3 Headlights.


Our hatch is bigger, and we dont have the window behind the doors.

The Tigra's Door is shaped almost exactly like ours-- as is the front windows & the hatch is pretty close.

I evin had a friend in japan looking for me ,but to no satisfaction. Its hard to believe that the companies who make them have bypassed the mx-3, expecully when yopu see some of the obscure cars they do have, Ive evin seena model of a yugo LOL!
Maybee if enough people write these companies or the main one that makes them, you never know.
