Default Look what came in from Japan



I thought it was cool to have a model of UCF31, it was hard to find none in the states. I e-mailed the company who made it, I was not expecting to much but they replied back ready to ship ASAP so I bought it.

I won't know until the UPS bill comes in, my job gives us discounts on personal shipping with UPS. I paid thru PayPal and gave Hotworks my shipping acct # and that was it.

Wow, I couldn't find anywhere online including eBay that still had those. I didn't realize they were still making them.

Is yours going to have the Toyota or Lexus badging on it?

I bought mine back in 2006 for about $31 including shipping on eBay but I got the 1/24 Lexus LS430 JUNCTION PRODUCE Version Black. It has the 5-spoke Scara by OZ wheels as the aftermarket wheels you can put on. Also, it was called Lexus LS430 instead of Toyota Celsior, so the packaging had "Lexus" covered over where it was "Toyota" and the badging on the die-cast model was Lexus badging.

Toyota Celsior

I could not find any in the states, also when I called one vendor he said it has been discontinued years ago. I thought I would take a chance contacting the manufacturer and see what happens.

Glad it worked out.

OK, then I guess it is discontinued. Maybe the manufacturer just had some left over...

It'd be great to see some photos of it when you get it out of the box and "mod" it. I haven't seen the Celsior version or even the Fabulous version yet. Have fun with that!
