Who wants a Rivian diecast or model R1T/R1S toy truck, or RC?

[defcon888]

I've been writing to a few manufacturers/companies if they are willing to make model trucks or diecast toys for our R1T's and I think it would be best if there is a huge number to reference for the demand.
So, who wants one? I would love to have an RC R1T but a 1:32 diecast would be sufficient with the correct rendering unlike the Matchbox which is also hard to find, if not overpriced.

Matchbox makes one already. It is a blue one

R1S in El Cap please - 22 brights. Just picked up mine today. Feels like a luxury car.

Of all places, I found one at SM Superstore while vacationing in the Philippines.
I never had the luck of finding one in California.

I bounced around all the Dollar Trees and Family Dollars in eastern Montana and had ZERO luck. I guess you gotta go to the source.

My first one was from eBay

My first one was from eBay shipped from Poland. I’ve read some post that a guy found a few in Florida.

I've been all over the Dollar Stores, Targets in the Seattle area and now in Orange County, CA. No luck...

I hit the jackpot the other day, 3 Dollar Trees, 13 R1Ts. I put one on the windshield of every R1 I see parked.

I have yet to see one in stock anywhere I’ve passively looked.

I would buy a faithful R1T diecast, in Glacier White, in a heart beat. Even if 1/43 scale.

I’m wondering how hard it would be to repaint my matchbox in Launch Green.

The painting is the easy part. It is the masking of all the tiny details that takes the time. I airbrushed mine forest green to match my truck just for fun.

They need to make an R1S model… I’d be all over that.

I finally got one and now I've been looking at other hotwheels to see if i can find wheels that match better.

First off, that’s kick ass.

I was thinking of drilling out the rivets and disabling for painting. But I haven’t yet looked at it closely to see what’s needed.

I scuffed the paint surfaces with Scotch-Brite. I masked the top first and painted the undercarriage. Next I masked off the sides and painted the bed all satin black. Lastly, I masked the wheels, glass, lights, and decals (Rivian and R1T), then air brushed the color portion of the truck. Masking the decal areas I was using a 10x loop so I could see it. I thought about redoing the wheels closer to the real set, but called it quits. Although the lighting gives it a different shade, it turned out to be the same as my Moto Guzzi V85TT.
