Agree with you on this, i'd even say it is costing waaay more for hardly nothing. For me it is a lazy 40th anniversary version, they could have done a lot more than this. Dissapointing...

I was thinking of these when i first read "Coyote", but not in conjunction with TAG. However, i did not expect these to be so competitive. I remember these were very lightweight but extremely fragile back then.

Very nice ! I like the wheels very much, never was a fan of the chromed originals.

What is a TAG Coyote? never heard (or seen)

Believe it or not but applying decals is my most loving part of a build. it's like the cherry top of a cake for me.. But that's just me. I understand your pain because decaling is sometimes really challenging if you want to have a perfect finish.

I doubt that a Rere of the Rocky will happen. As mentioned at the beginning, the Rocky was a one-chassis car, and the fan base is probably not nearly as big as that of the Optima boys.

Perhaps ridiculous is not the correct term here, but I always had (and still have) the greatest difficulty with this candidate. Tamiya , how could you...

I have loads of vintage NIP parts of Schumacher buggies. If you are looking for anything specific, gimme a shout. i'm located in switzerland

Not sure but i think i have seen some pics here of a Kyosho Fantom with a 956 Tamiya body a couple of days ago.

I can imagine that the effort for the Classic was relatively large for AE and the success rather lagged behind the expectations. Presumably, molds and tools are still in the drawer and the effort is kept within relatively risk-free limits for AE to postpone the Crystal to gloss over the expense side for the Classic from back then. I bet it sells like hot cakes, no matter whether it's meant for driving or just to put on the shelf.

For my understanding "corse" is only plural of "corsa". but that's just me

By the way, you have mounted the shock absorbers upside down. I doubt this should be a problem though...

I also like the Jugg1 very much, the story behind it with the car being one of the biggest mishaps in the history of the company. This all make it very special to me. I also have a new built Jugg1 , one of the very first ( it was a former expedition car for Tamiya distributors when released). I also have the original conversion kit that was handed out to dealers after the recall. This is very rare to find in unopened condition.

My rules are rather simple: 1. consider whether and how many of them I need 2. check whether I can afford it. 3. Go ahead and buy I must admit, however, that point 1 and point 3 are often used in reverse order as well.

58719 is available from late June, so it should be in stores early July. This is not a secret, you can check at (m)any distributors pages , such as Tamiya.de etc..
