Diecast 2015

[Midnightsun]

There were some really nice Gen 1 diecast models from Korea out there years ago and I actually bought one. I have scoured the web but there does not seem to be any 2015 models out there. Anybody find one yet?

There are some die cast models somewhere... Hyundai gave them away to some automotive journalists when they had their US launch event.

You can see one in this video from Fast Lane Daily: http://youtu.be/ZRx3PRgkfvA

So this would explain the one which was sold on eBay in June. Must have been a press person who got rid of their gift. Did well, got $202 for it, not bad at all.

Re: Diecast 2015 Genesis Sedan

hello I am a new member and thought I would let you know that there is a company in Korea called Minikraft and they have released the 2015 Genesis Sedan in 1:18 scale, I have not been successful in purchasing from them there website is not English language friendly, we need a Korean speaking member that can help with this.
Have a look at the site I am sure you will be pleased with what you see.

as I said earlier we need a Korean speaking member to help in purchasing from Minikraft.
regards to all beau

hello DFWGenny, you are spot on with the price. I have tried to purchase from Minikraft however their site is not user friendly unless you understand Korean.
They certainly have them and if we have a Korean speaking member their hep would be great. I would certainly purchase.

I too am interested ... but NOT for as much as I could pay for a[nother] car!

I put the site through google translate, including the purchase page, I don't think they ship internationally. I sent them an email which went unanswered. I think the best bet would be to troll ebay.

 

[DFWGenny]

Here is the translated Terms & Conditions page. It appears that they only ship within the country:

Re: Diecast 2015 Genesis Sedan

greeting to all,
Well I finally managed to purchase the 1:18 scale model of the 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan, what I did if any members are interested in purchasing this model is as follows.
I went to the Minikraft site which has a translation option although only good to let you see their models available, I then by using the email address did a Google language conversion and sent a message in Korean.
That got me a reply telling me the site is only for domestic buyers but then they gave me the option to purchase and pay via PayPal, all done and I look forward to receiving my model in 2 weeks.
They only have Black or Haze blue available.
I hope this helps any other members searching for this model, it is expensive US$280 but what the heck, I have paid more for other models that I have.
regards and good shopping

Please post up a picture once received.

 

[allisondbl]

Please post up a picture once received.

+++1 here! (And here's hoping/assuming you got the Black as Blue Haze isn't a color we get here ... unless it's a Korean mis-translation of Montecito or Ibiza but it doesn't seem to resemble either ...)

hello everybody, sorry been in hospital all day ticker playing up.
I'm not surprised at all the interest in the model and sure it's a bit expensive but what the heck I wanted it so I paid the price.
The black model pictured in the earlier post is available on ebay, that model car never got released in Australia it looks like an upgrade of the Grandeur to me.
I will post some photos of the model when I receive it and it will be my Genesis until Hyundai drop their price here which I am sure will happen I think they will have a battle to get $62k and $82k when you have Mercedes, BMW and Audi in those price ranges.
regards everyone happy motoring.
