Big Duke 6

Thanks Stu, I reported them all to Ebay !!!!

Watch out, saw one from china yesterday and there are two more, one from uK and one from France again. This is out of control... all same Bruiser pics !!

Yeah I hear you. I think within two years we will both be smiling in a sea of re releases. Hang in there. BD6

I think New Bright, they make an H1 as well. Buy it for the body, that is about it. Performance is sub par, but it looks good in IMHO.

I have been waching a certain Tamiya model over the last 4 months on ebay very closely. Now that you mention it, I do see the same two bidders always bidding on the same Tamiya vehicle, whether it be MIB or used. They have won a few but mainly bid up to the mid range of what they end up selling for. Do you think they are trying to artifically maintain a market value. Maybe I spend to much time on Ebay.

ok, i know the mag. thanks

Where can I find a copy of this mag ????

Thanks for the solid, I figured I would need the multifunction unit. BD6

The 56005 Sherman has the DMD in the kit, so I should be good to go right ? Thanks, BD6

Does anyone know if you can add the Tamiya battle system to the sherman model # 56005 straight up or is there additional things needed to purchase? Thanks, BD6

Gents Have my 1/16 Sherman #56005 Mint in box- still shrink wrapped up on EBAY if anyone is interested. Picked it up in 98 and on a shelf since. Selling it to get a three speed. http://cgi.ebay.com/1-16-R-C-Tamiya-Sherma...1QQcmdZViewItem Regards, BD6

HaHa... This is where I purchased my first Tamiya product. It was a great deal until I figured out I needed a radio as well.[] Check out the Bruiser, just think if they had one in stock and they are still around !!! BD6

There were two versions of the grave digger 1/6. The first came out 5 years ago and was around 300 bucks. It had dual shocks on each tire and was more heavy duty then the more recent one at Walmart. I had two of them. Pretty fast for the size 8 to 10 mph I reckon. Sold one and had the shelf queen fall off of a 6ft shelf and crash to the ground. Broke the rear swing arm off the frame. No parts available from Tyco and the new version is for single shock set up. That was a bad day. Still waiting to fix it, it is cool for the sheer size and weight. BD6

What the heck, it ended before the close ! What happen ? I did not even have a chance to Bid ?????? [V][V][V][V][V]

I am speechless.... That is the largest concentrated collection of a single brand I have ever seen. God forbid if there was a fire, I wonder what could be saved ? There would probably be some sort of toxic cloud over Jersey made up of plastic and lexan. BD6

usapirap, 6 months in advance, hmmm, Lets have a little test. Ask him about the Bruiser, what is the time frame for the re release. BD6

I experienced the same thing with the star wars / GiJoe universe. Had nearly everything and made a decent profit on sales. When everything was re released my market nearly dried up. No one wanted a yellow faded out of scale x wing when the new and better ones came out. That was a tough pill to swallow. From that point on no more heavy investment in collectables. I think ebay has exposed the potential earnings made on vintage items to corporations and the rest is history being made. Regards, BD6

Wow, that would be something... a re re Bruiser would rock !!!! Must have at least two !! BD6
