So does anyone know what is the difference between this kit and the 2009 kit other than a gold plated body? their sure is a big price difference between them.

there is no difference except the gold body...
i paid $300 when they were 1st released...if i would of had patience..i would of paid the $220.. for this one

And the body isn't like the gold or metal editions, as far as I understand it's just painted and they forgot to do the roof

Wow, that seems pretty cheap lol, I guess they have some stock they are trying to move.

and on the tower home page they have a 20.00 off I ordered it last night. I will repaint the body for 100.00 bucks off! I want a Scorcher also but I couldnt bite at 300.00 my tower club ran out. so I renewed it hopefuly I will get a 60 off then a SS will find its way to my house.

With all the savings I would just put that gold body on the side for shelf use, and get mr. Lexan's funco single seater lexan body for running.

Nobody else finds this disgusting? Tamiya Japan had to tell the Tamiya America to do this I would imagine. They had to get the supply of decals for the box from somewhere, and the authority to do it no?

well when I build it it will be the Blue and white Rough Rider Paint I have always wanted one like thet. but as cheap as the bodys are on Ebay I may buy a few and do up a few different ones. I cant wait until I get my Taxes back I an getting a Sand Scorcher also. and yes another one will fall victom to the bos art unless you all post up some cool body pictures for me to look at.

I like that one I have seen that picture all over the Web. is it yours? I keep hopeing thoes guys parting out all of the kits, will part out one of those pro painted ones so I can jump on the body. and paint mine how I would like it.

yes thats my SS..
good luck with that xb body...
there are pre-painted/plated bodies...chrome and gold and i think i even saw a chrome red one...they are knida pricey...like a hundread bucks ...i think they are cool lookin

I want a Sand Scorcher blue and white box art body not a colored one buggy one.

I am getting excited it will be here tomorrow! and when I get my Tax return a SS will be on the way also.

I got an SS for my birthday last month, when I got the box out of the bag and open it up for the first time I was transported instantly back in time 30 years and that's a great feeling it made no difference at all it being a re re

You’re going to love it

I bet I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. I want one when they were new but I was a kid and couldnt aford them. I love them everyone should follow in their foot steps.
I wish they would bring back the Blazer and the Wildone
