This is some great news!
Because it sure is easier to find 87 scale figures for the customizing garages!
They should come out with a Dodge Charger. (sTp 43)
You think they'll ever come out with banked curves?

:thumbsup:

7350 yen = $79, approximately.

it's battery powered, it's been quite a long time without new releases from this series too. And it's expensive...

I'm not convinced ;)

We found these about a year ago....and one or two of our HT guys has since purchased a set or two already....I think. Maybe Roger or OFD (RR) will remember something?

Cool review. I did'nt know the chassis were real slot chassis.

So in reality, we can drive this little things...the only problem is the lack of new models, and availability...

Yeah, the video was out awhile ago. Looked interesting. I too thought Roger C. was going to pick up a set. Personnally, I can't go smaller. If I were to change, I'd need something a little larger. At least that way I'd still be able to see the detail in this cars over the next few years. :cool:
