Was wandering the isles at Walmart today and saw these. I'm thinking if they had a Frog, I would've bought one.

Yeah, I have seen a commerical on Fuel TV for those..... I thought I remembered seeing a Frog on the commerical. I didn't know that they had them at Walmart. Good to know.

Hmmm... I could throw one in the bed of one of my scale trucks.

A 'Scorcher or Buggy Champ-Rough Rider would be neat. I wouldn't mind a Frog myself, it was my first hobby grade kit years ago.

So, these aren't actually Tamiya products, but licensed and made by Tomy? Or is that a sub-division of Tamiya that I don't know about?

Awesome!!! I wonder why the Frog wasn't on their website. Going off of this image

Now doing some more digging...

Just found this while looking at vintage Tamiya promo advertisements:

Looks pretty cool actually.

Saw these last night at
"Target" in So Cal...

Hornet
Boomerang
Hotshot
$15.00 each

Look like great Christmas Tree ornaments

nice you tube find!

I bought a mini hotshot for my daughter and she loves it. Played with it half the day yesterday. These things are great.

Sorry to dig up an old post, but we were just at Target and there was a 50% off shelf that had the entire stock left of these. It was mainly the Hornet and Hotshot, but a couple of Foxes and a single Avante all for $7. I broke down and bought a Hornet for screwing around at the office.

yea i found them today at walmart and bought the grasshopper and the hole shot.

hole shot?
