deeeyymmm... pricey....

thanks.

How do you figure that? Please don't tell me we've come to base our pricing gage of TBG "standard"?

That is no standard in my book and I am not being biased.

Considering it's about twice the price of most other clear buggy bodies available, yeah, I would say it's overpriced.

I'll still probably buy one though.

I'm confused...didn't RCPS make the Mirage SS and Pro-Line made the Vision and Class 1? So why is Pro-Line now making the Mirage SS and will it actually be the same as the old RCPS body?

The Worlds had the Turbo body though and not the SS.

Could it be just coincidence that Proline have done the SS body and AE will do the Turbo, or possibly Proline are doing both.

I will be looking forward to this.
Cheaper to buy the kit and use the parts for projects then to buy them all separately.
I already have an original Worlds Car, so Now I can try out a good paint job for it on a new body for display.
I was never so good at painting, I just like the mechanical stuff.

RCPS was Cliff Lett's so it's possible that AE sub-contracted Pro-Line to pull the bodies for them.

That said, it may just be the crappy paint job, or it may be my cynicism, but the new PL Mirage in that pic looks like it's missing some detailing that the old body had.

after seeing that picture of the silver mirage ss, (if it is the actual proline release) i think the detonator body is much cool, and better looking! that's right i said it!

Me guy's , I have wanted one for year and I already placed an order on stormer for one .... im pretty stoke to get one ... rere or not its still a world car ...

I don't remember the cockpit sides looking so slab sided, but I'd still hit it

Is it me or is that thing trim way high....

Seems like there were deeper definition lines around the windows and roll bars on the original.

I heard there will be noticeable differences from the original... After seeing that pic, I agree. Hard to say though without having one of each side by side. Which leads me to believe its not from original molds.

I think.... This is only in my cynical mind, that this WILL be the body in the NEW worlds kit and a Turbo will not be produced, yet... Also think that this car may not be an exact copy of the old worlds car (at least not as close as the Classic was) and there may be big differences... Just more cynicism,

No scoop like I was banking on....I just canceled the 2 on pre-older. Still, its nice to see 4 ways to a Mirage SS. Original, Jays, BTG, Proline.

Nice to see it though!

So far, just the body is for preorder.
