If memory serves, I think I asked this before this site went down.....but I can't quite remember.

Does anyone know if they (being whomever) make Forester die-cast model cars? & if so where can we find them?

 

[SenorSubie]

I'm pretty sure they don't I've only seen an STI one

 

[SKSTI]

As far I as know, none so far. Only popular WRC racers & street versions [in 1/18 & 1/24 scales] are available.

I haven't seen any - and I try to keep a pretty good watch on anything Subaru diecast. Plenty of Imprezas available, some Legacy models and some JDM stuff like R2's and 360's....and some funky commercial vehicles. I'm hoping somebody will do one!!:drool:

 

[GIT-R-DONE]

Ohhhhhh!!! I would love one1

 

[Subifreak]

They could offer 2....including an XT, complete with a tiny hood scoop! :biggrin:

The Forester is not popular among collectors, but there's a good chance a company like Yat-Ming might produce it. Its been releasing quite a few obscured models over the past 2 years.

How do we get ahold of them? We need to let them know they should produce it!

Excellent question!

I highly suggest shooting them a mail or call them up and show your interest in seeing the Forester in the future. These folks have been doing some rather unpopular models and have done well because no other diecast manufacturers took the chance. Who knows, maybe we'd see the Forester in 1/18 sooner than you'd think! It won't happen for sure if no one does anything. So let them know you're interested!

 

[Subifreak]

Excellent! I will send them an e-mail. :biggrin: :drive:

 

[Black98]

Hmmmmmmmmmm....wonder if they would do an SVX as well???

That is a north Atlanta number, of which several members here are living in (and where I grew up). i wonder if someone close could "drop by" and let them know there is a whole community willing to buy their little cars?:drool:


sniff sniff --do I smell group buy?

This thread is mega-old... Don't know if anybody is still subscribed here, but I randomly remembered this thread and did a search. Looks like the SH is available in a 1:18 model. Looks a little spendy though...

Nice! That's the first Forester die-cast model in I've ever seen at 1/18 scale.

 

[SubieOutlaw]

Sweet. Looks like my FXT but cleaner.

Same here. No joy for the SF or SG though... :icon_cry:

I just bought a black one out of eBay the other day... lol. I think they have sliver, blue, black. They should have a red one, but haven't show up on eBay yet.
