For me its the Box . It was my first ever "real" Rc ( hobby grade ) so it will allways be a special little van in my mind . Though the MP isnt far behind it seeings how its the same thing with a different body . Plus I like the look of the mid 50's Ford truck ...

Originally I missed the Midnight Pumpkin re-re and was gutted, but now I have the Lunchbox I prefer that. Very cool in the flesh. Get's me all nostalgic.

I preffer the Pumpkin. Lunchbox isn't ugly but is a giant box. Pumpkin '50s style is beautifull. Anyway the lunchbox has beautifull decals.

Definitely the LunchBox for me!! I always thought Vanessa was super sexy!![:P]

Ladies first...

Edit:

Although Cindy is pretty hot too, but Vanessa gets my vote. Blondes are better![;)]

has to be the pumpkin for me. [:)]

i do like the look of the lunchbox, but not as much as i like the 50's style of the ford f-100 body [:)]

a thread with the same "lunchbox or pumpkin" question was posted a while back on the forums. if i remember correct, the pumpkin was the most preferred. now the the l'box has been re released; it'll be intresting to see which one remains the most popular! [:P]

For me it's the Pumpkin. I like them both, but it took me about 2 seconds to decide to buy a Pumpkin a couple of years back, whereas I'm still trying to make up my mind whether or not I want a Lunchbox to go with it. I think the Pumpkin shell has a lot more character than the LB.

Aaaarrrghhh....

I just finished this Pumpkin i bought for a really good price (check out my showroom for pics how i got it) and i thought i'd take it for a test drive....the **** thing got away from me and ran right under a parked car....**** **** ****, big scratch in the newly apllied paintjob (fixable) and a really big crack in the windshield (not fixable) so i'm pretty bummed out.

But since i have both now....i like the pumpkin just a tad more!

Its both for me as they both have nostalgic qualities. LB was the one i use to look at everytime we went to winners models in the 80's and ive always wanted one but the pumpkin is a gorgeous f100 truck. So i have both originals.

The Lunch Box is too boxy for those big wheels. They look far better lowered like Shodogs' Millers van.

So who's slammed and tubbed out the Pumpkin then? [:P]

I think both of the hard shells are fantastic.....I just don't think Tamiya did them justice with that agricultural chassis. Good fun but they could have done better.

I was going to get a Lunchbox (re-release) but i sourced and original Midnight Pumpkin of Ebay. They both have followings and both look great. Personally i think the Pumpkin has the edge over the Lunchbox, but now i am a lot older and have a better paid job i am going to get them both :lol:
