One hour to go. Pizza is eaten, two beer left.

Two beers left is no reason to smile, you're running out,, quick get to the shop before dehydration kicks in..  😆

Just set my alarm for 2am EST

[rwordenjr]

Top force evo, thunder dragon,  and more

Top Force Evo - is that a new (rere) one? Couldn’t see anything else of much significance at first glance...

[Jonathon Gillham]

Yeah pretty decent, I was disappointed with all the TT02 stuff at the start, but then it got better

And that TA02 Opel is pretty cool

Rere of the 92’ original. Very rare but going to be very pricey 

[rwordenjr]

Definitely want the top force evo, thunder dragon and the rx memorial 

[Blista]

Landfreeder Quadtrack.  They make a set of tracks and stick it on the TT02?!

Ford Escort re-release.  Like the Supra and 911 GT1, a re-release with no racing livery.  Not a total disappointment but also not the complete re-release I'd want.

Top Force Evo.  Nice.

Best news: Unimog on the CC02.  FINALLY!  I might actually buy one now.

The Landfreeder Quadtrack is confusingly cool.  It has the CR-Tuned motor but more importantly a new lexan cover for the chassis.  Rally and buggy folks will love it if it's sold separately.

I want to want it but I'm not sure what to make of it:

I don't know what to say.

...Egress...?

[Guest]

I think you have got to say this is a pretty good list. There is something for everyone. Opel Calibra for me.

Strange it’s not mentioned, given the Fighting Buggy is (which was announced last year). Egress is available now for pre-order from some hobby stores, expected May in the UK.

[Collin]

Who needs a new Dyna Storm if we can race between Elephant & Penguin?


and finally the Swivelbot!!! I will get 12 of them doing my own bot army.

[Re-Bugged]

As per Tamiya, 

The Ford GT looks nice 👍🏻

I’m a little annoyed by this list TBH. There’s too many that I’m keen on, hoping these are spaced out a bit, or some tough decisions will need to be made 

[Robert5000]

Fingers crossed the quadtrack will be sold seperately, and can be mated to a buggy or the Monster Beetle.

The portals never were, so that doesn't give out much hope

[Wandy]

Oh dear, this is going to be an expensive year. Just when I was planning on having a quiet one with regards to RC too.

Now just watch Kyosho also bring back the Optima Mid this year to add to the wallet pain.

 

[Wandy]

I really like that Grasshopper 2 Black Edition. Been meaning to get the standard kit for a while but will just plump for this one instead now.

I wouldn't get too excited. It's likely to be a way of drumming up hype with the lack of an actual venue to showcase their stuff.

Feeling guilty for saying this now. This is their best release announcement for years.

Would love it if they are planning on blitzing us this year with all of those must-have re-releases we have been craving. 959 etc.

[Robert5000]

I was planning to get an Avante Black Special to see if there's any differences to the first run, but as of 08.00 this morning those plans have changed. And I couldn't agree more, this is one of the best announcements I can remember. And I wouldn't mind if they swamped us in excellent re-releases this year. They're off to a great start!

[thetamiyakid]

Mmm, don’t think so at that price

[thetamiyakid]

A possibility at this price though

Cheaper than I thought it would be actually. Was expecting UK price to be around £450.
