Conclusion
These FJ models are going for crazy money currently (Jul/06), because it’s not available as regular releases in North America. I got mine for around 175USD, which I think is too expensive. Mind you, this is a superb model, but not 175USD superb. If you want the other 3 colours (silver, red, yellow), you’ll have to go for these dealer versions, as the regular ones only have blue and black. For most, I think waiting for the regular blue/black is a better alternative, unless you MUST have one of the other colours.
