Yes, I was hoping they would sell some scale models in the gear shop or at least partner with toy manufacturers.
They’re indeed hard to find in local stores but strange that if you search on matchbox or Mattel websites, you get zero results.
I got 2 on eBay from Australia ($8 each with shipping) as soon as I heard about them. The eh didn’t come in a blister pack, but in a box. Love them!
I've got 7 of these from the dollar stores and the most I paid for them is 1.50. Giving them away as gifts to new meetup Rivian owners.
The model companies license the vehicle/name etc from the carmakers. It’s not like they just go buck wild making a model. Most automakers have whole departments devoted to handling licensed products.
This is what I did, got tired of stopping at every dollar store coming up empty.
Maybe someone can 3D print the R1T and put that on an RC.
The kids and I all got Traxxas TRX-4M Broncos. (1:18 scale) Would love an R1 body. I might have to hit up one of the people that print bodies on etsy and see if they could do an R1T or R1S.
Let us know how that turns out.
