NWarty 1325 Posted January 25, 2017 Well...time to stock up on decal sheets! Even though I have two Super G's and a Stock GH2, I can now have another runner! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klausen 1197 Posted January 25, 2017 Tamiya is on fire this year, awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1526 Posted January 25, 2017 Super Hornet next please, Mr Tamiya. What a strange company they can be sometimes. I mean, why weren't they doing this last year for the 40th anniversary? Not complaining too much though. Guessing their next move is part of the fun. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markbt73 5290 Posted January 25, 2017 You know what else this means... Falcon/Striker/FX10 replacement wheels and tires! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWarty 1325 Posted January 25, 2017 Yep Mark! Tires weren't the hard part to find, it was the wheels! This is pretty cool as I don't currently have a stock GH2 runner, only the shelf queen. Super G maybe? Pretty please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There do seem to be some great releases coming out this year. I don't know much about Japanese culture - is the number 41 somehow more significant than 40? Considered luckier perhaps?

Percymon 2184 Posted January 25, 2017 GH2 was one of my earlier refurbs- I enjoyed running it but my 17yrvold Staffie could catch it when the battery started to get under 50% lol! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kontemax 1723 Posted January 26, 2017 Destroying the value of my entire vintage collection but it is beautiful!!! Max Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racer1 116 Posted January 26, 2017 Nice. Really happy to see them bring back some of the entry level stuff. I'll need grab a few of these bodies and some good quality decal sheets to complete some of the projects I have laying around Seems like I can never get enough of this chassis. Maybe we'll get limited run colors as well. Be nice to get a green or black edition to go with the original grasshopper. Im thinking the super hornet will hit next but really hoping for a mud blaster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like the original Grasshopper, they won't be really valuable, but they are certainly loved by those of us who own vintage ones. And yeah! Bring on the Super Hornet also! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I absolutely have no problem about my collection value, I'm simply not interested in it. "Toys they are" and I'm really happy for every new re-release because this means new spare parts.

gpgp01 36 Posted January 26, 2017 I was thinking about re-re-release Topforce yesterday, but the mind is becoming changed today when saw re-GH2 news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWarty 1325 Posted January 26, 2017 1 hour ago, iluvmud said: Weird I thought it was the larger wheels like the super hornet Mud, The GHII Super G and Super Hornet wear the Wild One/Fox wheels, just in neon colors. The Super G had the neon yellow or green, the Super Hornet in orange. The stock GHII wheels are specific to it, the Falcon (in yellow), Striker and Futaba FX10. In addition, the tires for the Super G/Super Hornet come from the "Shot" series, the rears being from the Vanquish, Super Shot, Avante, Boomer. The fronts are pin-spike, GH Super G/Super Hornet specific and MUCH MORE difficult to find and command a higher price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
