Hmm.... model #30617. With the Scorpion being #30613, the Beetle #30614 and The Tomahawk #30615, there could still be a Turbo Scorpion at #30616.......

I can see these new parts making their way onto Mids, vintage and rere

Those pics are really making me wish it was out already.

Though does this now make my unbuilt pile of NIP original bits worthless
