Tamiya will re-release the Holiday Buggy

[59burst]

Before this year ends.
The street price would be cheaper than their entry-level rc vehicles.
I'll update when I get more info on it.

I hope this is true, and If thats the case I'll definitely be buying one!

Why the holiday buggy when the sand rover is so much more popular

[call-911]

That means we should have plenty of Halsey replica tires then.

Man I better get started on the Sand Scorcher and the Buggy Champ first....falling behind on these old girls already.

[dsmith]

it will be added to my collection.....


- Same (unpaintable body)
- tweaked stickers
- black roll cage and front bumper
- new gear protector
- 380 motor
- ESC included
- boxed in a TT01 size kit, rather than the old large size box.
- retail around 10-12000 JPY
- Release July/August.

I just got a bad news
they may replace the chassis. but they still have the original mold of the shell

[kaiser]

for some reason i'm not excited for this one and i love tamiya's. lol

i wasn't even that excited for the srb's. i guess i like the mid 80's cars better because thats what was out when i got into rc.

now if they re-re the wild one i'd be all over it.

I'm in the same boat here....(mid 80's when I first got into rc cars). The only real interest I'd have in any more Tamiya re releases would be the avante or maybe the bigwig. I know they'll probably never do it, but I can dream

I was going to pick up the buggy champ or sand scorcher, but just can't bring myself to drop $300 on one since they were older kits and don't have that much nostalgia for me. So far I've built a grasshopper, fire dragon and boomerang in their re-release forms. Boomerang went on 1 "gentle" run, and the grasshopper has been flipped several times....it's tough putting that much time into a kit and then bashing it. Of course, that's why I have tamtechs!

very weird that they would stray from the original.. that is part of the re-re appeal, im surprised tamiya would stray from that to be honest

7800 yen Japanese is like $85, that seems too cheap.

[scr8p]

well............. it looks pretty cheap. so i think the price fits.

[civilguy]

mikedealer-- your link is a Sand Viper with a Holiday buggy body. The DT-02 goes for about $140 and I don't think Tamiya can give them away. The nostalgia bandwagon may be a way to clear out some bad inventory. Lousy re-re.... good business sense.

the frog is 6800 - 7500y here. so 7800 is probably spot on.
