I don't think I've ever watched the show?  This show was coming along, right around when I migrated to the U.S.  I've heard of it, but I don't remember ever watching one episode of the show.  The two stars on the cover on the other hand, staples of Japanese TV.  Very popular.
I failed to preorder this one.  The idea of Nissan GT-R unmarked police car I just found ridiculous.  Still, it was my favorite color of the Feb/March release(also had gold, blue & black I believe), and this particular release also featured sweet set of rims unique to just this car, at least so far.  
By the time I read a post on Lamley Blog how these things were flying off the shelves in Japan, it was too late.  Even saw similar tweet from a Japanese collector.  Fortunately, I was able to get one from a eBay seller in Hong Kong for $35(shipped).  Cost me few bucks, but acceptable premium, considering.  Unfortunately, mine's got light scuff on the roof.  *tear*  Pics:
Them wheels.
Overall, very impressive release by TLV.  Oversteer's been kicking ass lately, but their GT-R don't touch this.  Well done, Tomytec!
