Kyosho unveiled its next set, a Japan-only Lexus set:
Two models – the LC500h and RC F – in three colors each. We haven’t seen a lot of Kyosho on this side of the pond, mainly because of a change in distribution with the brand, but this looks fantastic. If I find out a way to get these, I will surely pass it on.
You can get them shipped to the US directly via Goodsmileshop and HMV Japan, whom I believe are the exclusive retailers for this release. The last two releases (the Honda NSX+S660 and ’17 Nissan GT-R+Nismo) were also released through those two stores and they both carried an exclusive model that was only available at their respective stores. But it’s a bit of a bummer since prices have gone up a lot lately. You have to buy the entire set, which still runs about $18 apiece before factoring in shipping (another $18).
They look really, really cool & all, but I’d rather have an affordable 1/64 LFA!
The LFA was like the Ferrari F40 of Lexus and I don’t think they’ll do another super high performance vehicle again for a long while.. the company stated it’s not concentrating on a niche project, but rather focus on other models in house.
I wish HW’s or even MBX would produce an LFA which sort of puzzles me why they concentrate on casting a Tesla, but fail to make neat cars like the LFA, or a Hennessey Venom GT or other models different from the norm.
Tomica made a nice LFA and IF you can find one.. you’ll pay!
