RC10 6010 NIB Cadillac
Scored this the other day. I've had a lot of RC10's but have never hung onto them for that long. I guess I have always been looking for one new in the box and I felt I got this one at a good price. I will probably paint the body as a box art replica or a Jay Halsey replica (Might need to get a hold of Ruffy for some tips ). I must say this is the pinnacle of my collection and probably always will.
I guess the real question is to build, or not to build?

Re: RC10 6010 NIB Cadillac
don't ask. just do what you want to do. if you want to build it, build it. there a crap load of these out there. for christ sake, there are boneheads selling new in box rc10 parts right out of the box.
personally if i had one i would build it. you only live once. why not? don't be like these idiot whorders holding on to it because they're going to get a million dollars out of it. it's not like they're "rare". there were a ton of these made. unless you're hurting for money than...

Re: RC10 6010 NIB Cadillac
i look at it this way......
most people that have a nib rc10 kit already have 2-3 (if not more) nice examples of the same car already built. so why build the nib one? not to mention, what do you have once it's built? yup, just another plain jane gold tub. unless of course you're gonna build it with all kinds of period hop ups. but, how many people open up a 20+ year old kit and do that?

If you are in it for the money, shelf it in the box. If you are in it for the fun & pleasure of collecting vintage RC cars, build it.

Re: RC10 6010 NIB Cadillac
I was thinking maybe I'll paint up the body and shelf it. Then try to find a new build for display. For some reason I just don't know if I can pull myself to build it. I really envy those that have NIB kits. I'm hoping one day ALL of my collection is NIB kits with either box art or driver replica's. Nice to dream anyway.
Although if I can source all the part/decals for a Jay Halsey or a box art that might be too tempting not to build. For now I'm just happy to get my hands on a unmolested RC10 that I've always wanted.
