Emira deliveries starting in the USA?

The Golden Gate Lotus Club just landed 144 new Emiras! More on the way... And before the price increase.

From Kinsmart, 1/38th scale die cast. In 4 colors, red, yellow, blue & black. Should retail for around $8-10 USD. Typically Kinsmart die casts are sold through places like CVS, Safeway, Target, etc. Give it a month or two/three before we start seeing them on store shelves.

Cheers,
Kiyoshi

Can't wait to find one in the wild! I already bought up all the Emira HotWheels I could find.

I used to be an avid HW collector and have thousands but gave it up about 10years ago as I don't have room to display and storing that many is a challenge. However, I've been looking for the Emira every time I go out and even looked in Asia my last trip as I read some posts of people finding there. So far I've struck out. One day .....

You're in the US, right? Check your local grocery stores. I still see them often at Acme and Giant!

I've yet to find a magma one. Not sure if they're offered in the US.
Until Emiras arrive in the US in 4Q, you might entertain your cravings with Hot Wheels replicas. Your scavenger hunt may be successful at the larger Walmart or Target stores. Snagged several.

Found a Seneca at Lowes (of all places) this weekend. Is pretty accurate since it has a bit of orange peel to the paint. ;) Mine is made by Kinsmart, but the scale is 1/34. Its also a pull back and go forward (not sure what that called)
They also had a supposed to be DV but it looked black to me.
I actually got my Emira at the time Lotus said I would too.

I bought an extra one ($6.50) and bought an extra Hot Wheels ($2) Seneca one if someone wants both and cant find.

I went on a trip with my fiancé this weekend and she got pretty sunburnt. We walked in a Walgreens Pharmacy for some aloe, I walked past a rack with a bunch of toy cars and just happened to notice the shape of the Emira nose cone popping out of the bottom shelf. I swear I did a triple take because I couldn't believe it was actually an Emira! Bought it immediately (Blue).

I had searched for a hotwheels Emira for about 5 months before I found one, couldn't believe I just stumbled on the 1/34 model 500 miles away from home in a pharmacy because of a random sunburn!
