I can hear the "investors" scrambling to ebay right now to unload some merchandise.

Cool news, though.

in the short term prices will go down for sure on the real vintage stuff, but long-term, original is still original and the price will probably go back up.

I'm torn on the re-release. I have no desire to have a RR, but would like a scorcher as I am a big vw fan. I could get one and convert it with one of the bolink lexan bodies. But then I suppose the more of the RR they sell the more likely they are to do others in the series and I may wind up just getting both anyway.

The legendary RESHINGUBAGI BAGICHANPU Su Masu Eri's 30 full years! いま注目のより安全で取り扱いやすく、高寿命のLF1100-6.6Vバッテリーを搭載指定としました。 More secure and easier to handle the attention now, life has been designated high-LF1100-6.6V battery. 専用の充電器で充電お願いします。 Please charge in a dedicated charger. キットとバッテリーは、価の為、特価が変更になる場合もあります。 And battery kit for the price, you may change the bargain. *画像は、旧バギーチャンプです。 * Image is BAGICHANPU Town.


This is awesome. I don't know what's going on, but I love being able to change the bargain.


When am I going to get my re-re Blackfoot already? :(

Is this for real???...It can't be...it must be a bad late April fools joke..

If they release the Rough Rider, does it mean we can finally buy a "BRAND NEW" Sand Scorcher in the very near future?...and not have to spend a small fortune???

You mean I won't have to scan scalper's posts on E-Bay only to be "sniped" at the last 3 seconds when I find a semi restorable beater that's under $350+?

I've wanted one for over 25 years!

Count me in.

SOLD!

Is this the same chassis as the scorcher? All we would need is the body/decals?

yup, and body mounts. you can get lexan repro bodies for relatively cheap, and I think someone was doing repro stickers, but never looked into it too much as the chassis was always too expensive for me to bother.
