Subaru Brat Re-release in March (no joke)

[Corpse Thrower 16]

Stella has the Brat!!!

 Panic panic pnaic panic frenzy of buying, etc.[]

I can't wait to get one of these new ones. I am really excited because the Mud Blaster was my first and only Tamiya.

Sale stock hasn't quite yet arrived where I'm sitting (on holiday) but distributor has received some demo kits 2 wks ago.

Couldn't sell [:'(] me one, looks very nice but ...

Ahh Willy, you are still alive.... good to see.

Bring me back something nice.

Stella's works out to £94 delivered, I paid £101, but wait how long it takes UK sellers to actually get stock. Some have only just got in 934's. Stella even has a picture of their delivery, so I'm inclined to believe that HK got them early.

 Besides - I was never excited about the Hi-Lift like everyone else, but this re-release could have been £200 and I'd have bought it. Love this model!! Best re-release yet!

Release date is March 1st, anyone on eBay selling them now won't have them in stock yet.

Same as the M04 Beetle, Hongkong Cowboy also has them listed.

ahh no, with the Beetle my supplier had stocks I could actually *buy* last week (but haven't), unlike the Brat (display handful only)

Brat kitbox is fullsize like original and weighs a tonne; Beetle kit is featherweight and half the volume.

New version of the ol' Brat coming soon: 84237 Subaru Brat Metallic Special.

Never really been a fan of the metallic finished kits but this one might look good.

[Max Power 5]

Oh Metallic. I wonder if that will be just the shell, other parts as well. A chrome chassis would be nice

Here's a pic :-

I quite like it. I think it will sell reasonably well too.

[WillyChang 1814]

looks like chrome body + chrome chassis

Yes, this is easily the best looking metallic special they have done IMO. Another one on the wishlist.

[Wandy 1527]

Just having a quick read through this thread's history and I see it was yet another that descended into a love/hate re-re fest.

I might actually enjoy this model in a chrome version, and it rather appeals to me. Hmmm, just what I need - another "to buy" item. My wife is gonna kill me.

Hope some metallic chassis will be broken out and available for reasonable money. Need to replace the chassis on my Monster Beetle runner. Maybe give it a red transparent coat?

[nosthevamp 1]

Chrome A parts would sell well

+1 in every sense

[Max Power 5]

I like the look of this a lot.....Too many Tamiyas, not enough money!

I used to have a similar problem. I got rid of the wife.

[eriknyg 2]

Rims should be chrome too.

I just got an R/C car for wife wife; good trade, eh?!

Actually, "She Who Must Be Obeyed" is remarkably understanding about my R/C addiction and I wouldn't trade her for any R/C. Unless....

[Wandy 1527]

Not a fan in the slightest of this shiny stuff, looks naff imo....

Normally I'd agree with you on that Paul but this one has got something about it that I like. Can't quite put my finger on what it is though.

[mr crispy 2293]

Looks good but why didnt they chrome the wheels, roll bar or bull bars?

[Chris 30 0]

Hi everyone, isn't the subaru brat already out?

[Yonez 180]

Hi everyone, isn't the subaru brat already out?

Yes, but the all chrome version is new.
