This as a craigslist car, check it out - is this a crazy price or is it just me ???
TAMIYA BRUISER VINTAGE RC 4X4 TOYOTA TRUCK RARE VERY COLLECTABLE - $1000 (vancouver wa)
You know what was funny? It looked decent from the first pic--but the more pics that I looked at, the more trashed it looked! Someone's smoking too much crack.
There was a NIB Hilux on Kijiji recently for $750. I thought about it, went back to the ad and it was gone. You snooze you lose!!!! The ad only lasted hours. Toronto seems to be a hot bed for vintage rc collectors. If you don't look at the ads often you will miss some great oppotunities.
Yeah, remember someone here when the tamiya prices where in the skyhigh he bought an NIB sand scorcher for 70usd buy it now.
And that was the time when NIB sand scorcher went for 1500usd-2000usd.
I have done some very crazy deals in EBAY 5-6 years ago. Hilux tires/wheels set for 450usd for example.

Thanks for the input and I did take the ends off the front differential and a piece of the casting on one side is cracked and fell into my hand. I will be looking for a replacement front diff assy and I will also open and check the guts for damage....
I happened to be browsing Tamiya's US site and found this:

Horizon has it listed as discontinued while other major online sources are out of stock on this model.
The Mountain Rider appears to be sold out everywhere.

I've decided to pass on this one but I'm very happy for those who have seized the moment and taken advantage of the Bruiser's price drop.
I wish I could have anticipated that Tamiya was going to drop the price to a level that is more reasonable.
As...
