Its silver, has the tail of an S4 and the engine (or engine-like blob) of an 16v, and has "Porsche 928 Turbo" printed on its underside. For a $3 drug store toy, its remarkable solid die-cast metal. The hood and doors open. Roll the rear wheels backwards to wind it up, and let it go! Mine seems to have a bad alignment, since it didn't go in a very straight line

I got these two - all they had - at the Rite Aid in San Rafael. There was also a red 944 cabrio with simmilar packaging. Nicole, found these yet?

 

I think I will check my local Rite-Aid tomorrow. That's a cool little car.

 

Thanks for alerting me - my neighbor would love one of those red 944s! I'll buy them out...

Now, where is the next Rite Aid? I think the only one I know of closed after a few weeks - it was right accross from a well established 24-hour Walgreens...

 

Why look, it IS a scale model of the my silver turbo 928.

 

I've got a Radio Shack Radio-Controlled 928 on Ebay now, if anyione is interested.

It looks like the toy manufacturer recycled the old 928 form to mimic the new 911 pictured?

 

Good find Jessa...unfortunately, no Rite Aids near me here in FL. I'll check the Eckerd Drug and Walgreens, however.

I just picked up a pretty nice MotoMax (brand) 928GTS die-cast model ( 1:24 scale) for about $9.99+ s/h = $15 delivered from a dealer in CA called Collectable Diecast in Alhambra, CA. Nice folks to deal with and it is a nice little car for the money.

No affiliation, etc...just a happy customer.

Best,

These have been floating around at Kay-Bee Toys Stores in the L.A. area for a while. I picked up a few, then Karen grabbed some more as of about a year ago. We offered some of the duplicates at the preice she paid (about $15) but they showed up again at Kay Bee for $6 so we withdrew the offers. They had also been on E-bay at that time for under $10. Our big money-making business was trashed!

Kay-Bee is the toy outlet division of the Big-Lots operation, so they get end-of-run stuff and odd lots of various things. I guess I need to go cruise the local outlest again to see if they have any of the 928 modles in their stock. When Karen can get me to go to a local mall, I often cruise through to see if there are any that I don't have. We have black, blue, red, need silver and white to complete the set, by the way.
