DyDo, a Japanese soft-drink company, recently launched a campaign in one of its product lines called Blend. It is a campaign that combines the popularity of Initial D and Blend—a slightly sweeten coffee drink.

So the drink comes with a toy car on top in a little plastic cylindrical container. There are 10 different cars total.

01. Sprinter Trueno AE86 (unmodified version)
02. Levin AE85
03. RX-7 FC3S
04. RX-7 FD3S
05. NA6CE Roadster
06. SW20 MR2
07. Skyline GT-R R32
08. Civic EG6
09. Sil-80
10. Impreza GC8

These are actually "pull-back" drift toy car. What you do is, you pull the little car back about a foot (20~30cm) on a flat surface and let go, it will sprint forward and drift automatically. Depending on the car, different car has different drifting style and direction. It is really amazing for only 100 yen (~1 USD) But here's the thing, the campaign is only for Convenient Stores only. You can order the actual coffee drink online all you want, but if you want to collect the toy cars, you must purchase them in a store. Now unfortunately, Initial D fans from oversea are not so lucky. The only way we can get our hands on these special toy cars is through eBay.

Simply search for "Dydo Initial D" and you shall find many matches on eBay: http://goo.gl/7wV9Jw

Check out the promo video here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=SfmHSflX8WY It seems very fun. I am contemplating on buying a whole set (10) They are going for about $30 on eBay right now.
