I have ordered from them and was thrilled with the service and items.
When I need more, I will deal with these people again! :thumbsup:
slotcarman12078 12-15-2008, 11:20 AM I have ordered from these guys too..Trees and street lights.. For the people, the closest thing will be the 1:75 scale. :thumbsup: The 1:50 is too big at 1 1/2", and the 1:87 will look way too small. The 6 volt street lights really need a 6 volt 1 or 2 amp transformer to function correctly. I wish they had the 12 volt lights when I bought them. I did notice one thing after ordering from these guys, though.. I found myself getting all kinds of spam for "enlargement miracles" :eek: after buying from them..
Uther....no enlargement required.....Joe

Bill Hall 12-15-2008, 06:45 PM Is it like Ramen?
Do they come with a flavor packet?

Cuz you're dead :)
I knew someone would beat me to the Soylent Green connection. :(

Yes, it's the same stuff you put in Coors Light to give it flavor.
slotcarman12078 12-16-2008, 12:49 AM Well this explains why my Coors Light was so tasteless... :rolleyes: Where can I get me some of these "Flavor" packets??? No rush.... I'm drinking even worse this week..Busch Light.. $4.00 cheaper for a 30 pack... :thumbsup:

vaBcHRog 12-16-2008, 10:20 PM The only drawback is the pastal colors. The 1/75th look good

NTxSlotCars 12-17-2008, 12:20 AM Do they have pit crews in 1:75th?
Rich
resinmonger 12-17-2008, 12:38 AM No, Rich, they just have 8 t 10 pastel civilian looking folks. Rogers post and linked pictures show that they do a good job of populating a circuit. Here are some past discussions about figures and related stuff:

The second thread has a comparison of the 1:75 figures to other commonly used types. Yes, I am such a slot-tard that I had book marked these threads for future use with my vaportrack and vaporgarage.
Pete McKay 12-17-2008, 08:21 PM Fujimi and Hasegawa both used to make 1/72 scale military figures that could easily be posed in civilian stances. They came in kit form with the arms, torso's and legs seperate so you could glue them together in different poses. Some of the pilot figues also make great driver figures is you remove the oxygen mask hoses. I recently bought a USAF crew set that had about a dozen figures AND a 1/72nd scale panel van that could find it's way on a T-Jet chassis for about a dozen bucks delivered.

Pete McKay 12-19-2008, 01:26 PM Hummm....need to talk to that guy then, he's installing shocks on one of my race cars in the shop right now.

Ligier Runner 12-19-2008, 03:28 PM Lmao...tears!
Bill Hall 12-19-2008, 04:19 PM When Pete posted up the cool figures set I was checking it out and thinking to myself "Wow, thats a darn cool figures set!"
So I'm checking out what everyone is doing ensuring that they arent a city crew on the taxpayers dime. You know....two guys workin' and twelve to analize it. (In fact it turned out to be quite the opposite.)
Then I happened upon "Cornholio"! Needless to say I pulled an "ab" as I burst out hysterically thinking that he must be the new guy on the crew.

LMAO AGAIN! :lol:
Pete McKay 12-20-2008, 03:12 AM Out here they have these figures they call "Homies", little stereotyped Hispanics that are actually pretty common here in Fresno. They're more of 1/32nd scale but the guys I raced with in that larger scale had a lot of them all gathered in one corner. Drinking beer, fighting and in one instance....well let's just say that corner was out of the direct sight of the kids. I looked for them in a small scale but couldn't find them for my shop.
As far as Carl Cornholio is concerned, he is now filing a harassment suit against my shop saying he was put on painting the lines on the parking lot was a punishment. My lawyers tell me to put him back on shop duty as soon as the spaces are marked.

I'm pretty sure they come in smaller scales also... I bought a 1/64 diecast Cadillac that had a couple in the package. My kids have been playing with them so who knows where they actually are, but I'll see if I can get them to turn up and take a couple pics...
