I would suggest calling one of the distributors to see if they could put you on a list to call when they come available.FLPilot said:Well I went to all the stores that they have listed under their "PURCHASE ONLINE" section, and none of the stores have it. I sent an email to maistro customer service to see what they suggest.
Boy, am I going to feel like an idiot for paying $158 for mine when it'll cost about $10 at Wal-Mart!!! <img src="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/kemosabe/smilies/togo.gif">SteveLuman said:I was browsing the web and noticed that the Power Racer, Honda® Pilot™ diecast is now available...according to

Some of us early buyers were given all sorts of grief for paying a 3% to 10% premium, Wow, you are an idiot 1580% :2:kemosabe said:

Officer FLPilot: I got back from Wal-Mart AND Target this afternoon and struck out!!! At least in Kemotown, neither store has it yet...FLPilot said:Well not sure how much help they were at Maisto. Below I have copied the email they sent back to me.
Dear Sir/Madam,
You may locate the item you are inquiring at your local Walmart Stores. Thank you for your interest in Maisto products.
Sincerely,

I checked the Walmart.com site out and did not find it there. Maybe it is only in the physical (B&M) stores. If anyone finds them, can you please post.
Yea but you got some GREAT photo ops outta the early deal!kemosabe said:

I just realized that the advertised Honda Pilot is identified as a "Power Racer 4.5" Motorized Vehicle".SteveLuman said:I was browsing the web and noticed that the Power Racer, Honda® Pilot™ diecast is now available...according to

Hmmm... So ya think they have the different colors besides silver?smurray said:I just realized that my brother lives about 1/2 mile from the Maisto company headquarters in Fontana, CA. In fact, I purchased my Pilot about 10 miles from there. Next time I go to visit him I'll try to give the place a visit and see if I can't fanagle a Pilot from them in SBP. What do you think?

Now that would be cool! Let us know what you find out.![]()
I called up Walmart - both the local store and their headquarters and they have advised that my local store does not stock it. When I asked them if they could order it for me, they checked with Maisto and it turns out that these are what they call "toys" and are actually sold in assortments - ie random packs of about 24 or more and that the models included in each assortment are random. As such they could not order them for me since they cannot guarantee that I would get the Pilot. This would suggest that this particular model is different from the one that Kemo got from eBay.Dear Sir/Madam,
