As the re-release seems to be a hot topic at the mo, thought I would get around to adding my original Bruiser on the site. I bought it as another club trade from Blob1. He bought it from Junkyard Dog, who bought, and had it shipped over from Canada. Both of them have done work on the chassis and shell, and made improvements to its overall condition, but I think I will wait until all the re-release parts are available to carry on with the good work.
Just added some more pics along with Top Cats box art example. He was lucky enough to have been given his bruiser along with the box and manual. What a find!

I think a vintage Bruiser no matter what the condition is well worth having. As a runner or shelfer.

Wow love the vintage Bruiser. Its good news indeed so now you can get those very expensive decals but I was a bit disapointed the re release comes with just a 540 motor, plus the transmission on this vintage beauty is far better, plus the front and rear axles are different. Have you seen the price of the new re release $1300!! I would rather have the Vintage version Good news is at least you have lots of spare pasrts from Tamiys to make this into a display. Thanks

Very nice to know some history, and a nice example, I have love for original and rere models but ideally I would have both
