Blitzer Beetle production

[chill63]

Is the Blitzer Beetle still in production? I'd like to get one before they are all gone...

Thanks,

Chris

Yes, based on 2004 Tamiya RC booklet. []

Hi everybody.

I'm new to the club but I thought I'd throw in what I know. In the 2004 Guidebook there is a symbol next to the Blitzer Beetle scale designator which means 'No Further Production' going by the legend at the bootom of the page. Same with the Stadium Blitzer and Midnight Pumpkin. This is pretty much confirmed at the Time Tunnel Models site where they say that their stock of the BB is from the 2003 final production run. The realistic looking Tamiyas are fading away it seems. []Grab 'em while ya can.[]

Oh Yeah, this site rocks.

Sheesh. I just bought my Pumpkin a month and a half ago. Well, after almost 17 years, it was a good run. []

Does anyone know how long they (Tamiya) will make replacements and aftermarket parts for the Pumpkin?
