Been looking for one of these forever, and then it happened. I glanced down at the Target checkout and almost dropped my groceries when I saw the letters RS on the side of a green car peeking out from a Hot Wheels 3 pack. I searced the rest of the checkouts, there's like 30, I couldn't find another one. Comes fresh from the factory with scratches and misaligned headlight paint, but it's still an RS. I wonder why there's no Matchbox version. I kept wondering if Hot Wheels would ever make it. I checked on ebay, there's a few for sale, but I guess they're rare. I don't really collect Hot Wheels, just a few cars that I like in real life.
 
Dude, I've seen these all over the place around here.

I was almost like Mel Gibson in Conspiracy Theory, I wanted to buy one whenever I saw one. Ha ha.

Well now we know why this is the first one I've seen, they sent them all to Ohio. I check the hotwheels and matchbox for cool, relevant cars whenever I'm in a store. But sometimes I go weeks without going to a store, just back and forth to work. I recently picked up a Renault Megan Trophy, that one is pretty sweet. I've seen the C4 Rally too, but I haven't bought it yet because the chrome interior bugs me.

Anyway, thanks for humoring me guys.
 
I have had mine for better than a year now, direct from Ford HR Germany :p There is a Abu Dabi WRC Driven by Latvala next to it.

Now that's a nice model!
You have a Latvala one too? Is it all crashed and broken?
 
Nice, I gotta get me some Focus models.


I used to collect Hot Wheels. The Rarest one I have is the Meguiars Focus Drag Car. Haha.

The Real car
Well it might not to to rare, but it is really cool. I wanna get the 08 Coupe Hot Wheels next.

1:43 Scale or 1:24?
 
I will have to check when I go back to work, it is about 6" long though.
 
It looks like the 1:43 scale Minichamps Focus RS.
