I might as well go buy my wife something nice now. We're going to have a fight after this is put out there for pre-sale.

@gomach , So it this going to be basically a mass produced version of your kit Gomach? Price speculation?

No idea what to expect under the hood, but.... This is not the MIP kit. Apparently that is a totally separate project and it doesn't sound like Eustace even knew about this one. So there's going to be a total of three conversion kits. Wow!
The rumblings I am hearing after price conversion from the country that I heard the number from puts it at about the same cost as the Yokomo kits, around the high 400s

Crazy, will be curious if Eustace still goes ahead then. He's a smart business guy and won't waste time if his demand is not projected. That is at least the feeling I can gather from watching his interviews over the years, I have no real clue though.

I'm going to use my $50 Christmas Amain Gift Card to justify the price of this no matter what it is.

The rear shock tower looks odd through the windshield....and shouldn't some of the rear bulkhead be visible if it were stock?

That first pic that Jeff posted mentions a new rear bulkhead and shock towers, it will be interesting to see the layout and design. I am definitely pumped for this one!!!

I love the look of the hard anodized shocks with the gold caps.

Agreed! Also, could just be the lighting on the picture but it sure looks like the front arms are now glass filled nylon as well.

Looks like I'll be joining you in the dog house after this one drops as well.
