Tamiya to rerelease the Celica GrB!

[Theibault]

Just got word that Tamiya are going to rere this classic car in it's original 1/12th scale. The car will feature fiber reinforced gears to deal with todays brushless power (the new TBLE02 brushless esc will be included) and updated shocks! They are also going to reissue the 959 body as an 8xxxxx option part!!

ETA: Picture is not final box art

I would wish it wasn't April 1st.

Since the post holds no reference to any news site i guess the 1st of april also penetrated this forum

Ha ha haaaa...

Even being wary of the date, I admit you actually had me going there!

So true :-)

My calendar says april 1st like your M8

Ha ha, as it's past 12PM in the UK I had switched off my April fool radar but it's still AM in the west coast of USA right now so I guess this still counts.

I was wondering why big T would release the Celica with the 959 body as an option though, surely the other way round would have been even more believable?

The only people that need to believe this post are Tamiya. I was hoping the time difference would throw some of you off. Thanks for playing along.

You should beware of posting hoax information on the TC forums, Theibault. It tends to end badly.

The ironic thing about that was that it did come true (eventually). Here's hoping the same will happen with the 959 & Celica!

I think that's Wandy's wish (mine too)!

I understand Tamiya are going to release a Celica grB on the DT02 chassis...

Yep, 4 years later and it all came true.

Hope we do not have to wait another 4 years for the 959 though!

And they will call it the Celica Fighter Super B! Hope oil dampers are specified...
