The chally and camaro are hot business! That VW bus could be a must have also, but what chassis does it fit? If its an XT piece then SOLD, but if T-jet not so much.

I'm so hoping that the car on the far left in the first photo is a Gen 1 Buick Riviera. Anyone else see anything?

SOLD.

I got an Auto World catalog after placing an online order not too long ago and the Challenger and Camaro are featured in an XTraction race set. :)

I saw that on Motor City Toyz website, I think. AW hasnt made any cars set-exclusive as far as I know though. Which is good, since I have plenty of track.

Actually, AW did make some set-only cars. The Skymall Mopar set has a red Viper and a black/red Daytona, both cars come with smoked glass. The left over cars went on sale at last year's Autofest. I think the AW site still has some left....

That was a set? I saw the solid red viper on the bay once, it did mention skymall. Looked sweet, but the seller had the opening bid up too high so it was a pass...

Grungerockjeepe, if you want any of the red Vipers, AW does have 'em.

I remember last season when I first saw the test shot of the Vipers and the Mustang Gts.....the Ford ended up on the Super 3 with a altered body mount and the Viper came as a Short wheel base body......So this time I'm going to take a wait and see stance.....

Yo!

Well at the time I did, but that was before release 6, and I now have the red and blue versions. When I saw that other one on the bay, I just thought it was cool is all.

I like the VW bus and the little foreign thing I can't make out. I also like that Ford truck looking thing. Are these coming to a store near us soon, like HobbyLobby, or is this an online exclusive. I miss ToysR Us carrying slot cars. They suck now. If it weren't for you guys here, I wouldn't have a clue whats goin on.

I second that! TRU is a joke, 3/4 of that store isn't toy related at all.

Oh duh!

Also licking my chops to do a side by side comparo of a Danbug vs a Tombug!

I can see that green Tombug with some 70 series, period whitewalls and some Vincent Porsche Fuchs wheels. Ya know they are gonna show up with early dynasty tuffy wobbler repops and hidden crack army boot tires.

The Tombug appears a little broader in the beam and the helmet (roof) looks a skoshe taller too. Perhaps some early Superbeetle proportions made it into the design although it is still clad in standard midle period bug garb.

Be extra cool if the bumps are detachable so one could have them plated...like the suburban. So far that lil bug looks very promising.

Thanx for the pix John!

Joez seems to like the chrome truck, but he'd like it in pink also. A chrome ice cream truck, that's funny:p:p:p ...RM

Im looking forward to the blue AW bug. Get some satin chrome AFX 5 spokes on it, if those bumpers are detachable then they'd be detached and the holes filled. I like the SoCal look on bugs.

Does anyone have the 411 on what chassis that bus is for?

Hey this is a classic picture and I just thought maybe we HobbyTalkers could come up with a new saying for her to hold up on that card? Without getting in trouble...he,he,he :rolleyes:

Hope this wasn't a bad idea but, if it becomes good enough it could become an Internet Icon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

Living in Colorado and just and 1/2 hour away from South Park, that has to be the best!!!

When we want to go to Hooters, we just say " Let's go to Raisins."

Way to go Bill.

This COULD be the funniset thing I've seen in some time. Destined to be a HT classic.:thumbsup: Everytime Bobzilla gets a little unruly we'll just pull up his promdate and point.

I love it when a thread backfires or goes so far awry that the distance is measured in light years
