I think the old old saying goes, "They just don't make em' like they used to!" I love the vintage kits because they were more complex, had many metal parts, were packaged better, and they bring back many childhood memories. The modern kits of today are made of mostly plastic. I still like the modern kits but there was more variety with the vintage kits.

Merry Christmas from Philly to all of my friends at the best club in the world! I am now off to open up my Enzo Ferrari static kit!! :-)

Just thought I would let ya know that the Manta Ray re-re is in stock at Tower Hobbies now. Hopefully the Thundershot will come into stock soon too!

Dag! I had 2 of the sites you listed Larbut! I have been searching for the past 45 minutes. Good job!

The Top Force has hit eBay!! Jason's Store has 2 of them in stock. I love the re-re's, but I am really missing the blister packs! They made the kit look more sophisticated.

I don't believe him at all. The Tamiya re-re's are very hard to get, meaning that they must be selling well. The Hornet re-re has been out for a while now and Tower Hobbies can't even keep them in stock as well as the Grasshopper and Lunchbox. Kyosho definitely has a case of sour grapes!

Hey Darren, Can you send me the Sand Scorcher, Frog, and Ford Ranger transparent scans? My email address is aja723@comcast.net. Thanks,

Jason is one of the best sellers on eBay! I am still shocked at how fast things arrive from him! I got a shipment in 2 days from Japan to the States! Very impressive seller.

Tower Hobbies states that the Ferrari F40 re-release is discontinued....anybody know if this true?? They never even got them in stock.

I thought that most nitro cars do not go in reverse unless it has a reverse module installed in it. As far as I know, my TG10 does not go in reverse. Pulling back on the throttle is for applying the brakes. You may just need to do some adjusting on your engine needle so that it won't stall when you apply the brakes. It is kinda hard to get it just right, but if ya play around with it long enough, you will get it!

I just broke mine, sanded down the rough edges, and then glued it. It worked out okay.

Ready to run....DAG! Hopefully kit versions will follow!!

Welcome to the club! You should start getting back into Tamiya kits!! Especially since they are re-releasing alot of the oldies!!

I remember Sears selling them!! That is great and brought back memories of the Sears Wish Book! I remember they had the Falcon, Grasshopper, and Hornet. I also remember Kay-Bee toy store also had the Grasshopper and Falcon as complete kits. The Brat actually looks like a cheap toy in that picture!

I am sure that Japan kit prices are cheaper but the shipping costs are alot higher. I hope that Tower lists The Frog soon! I can't wait to get my hands one!!!
