I got a MCI/TBG combo pack with two bodies / decal sets .................. and in the process, got my second free body from TBG! Not sure what creates this scenario, but I now have duplicate Traxxass Sledgehammer and Tami King Cab bodies. Not sure if I will ever need a second of either, but I have to give it to them, getting a little extra in your order is a nice feeling at the end of a crap week! :D

Happened on my latest order as well, ordered (1) FXT body and (1) Nitro Hawk body (along with various decals). But received (2) FXT's and (1) Nitro Hawk. The extra FXT body had a "free" note on it.

At this point, I've received three (maybe four) free bodies and several wings. Unfortunately, only one of the bodies has been used.

One of the weirdest things I've seen in a while. M1 Pirate full plastic parts set in white nylon. I had to get two just because. Really shocked these even existed. We sold a lot of the Pirate M1 at the hobby shop I worked in and I never saw these! I have a nice M1 waiting for an restore one day and these might make their way into a vat of neon dye

Same here. With almost every order, I find something extra marked "free".
I would buy from them either way but it's nice to get something as a gift.

Glad your happy Alex, it was my pleasure

Today was a great day all round. Out of the blue Alex found a 27 Mhz Magnum Sr. in Australia of all places, I was all too happy to take it off his hands :lol: :lol:

Now I have a matching pair.....


Thanks Alex.

Another package incoming today... A second Hirobo 44B Hilux, with a body shell in much better state than the first one... I will be able to have an original bodyshell in proper state to compare with my own repro :-)

I buy kits to build and ru(i)n them :-)

Higher potency than the regular 3% over-the-counter stuff.

Don't get that stuff on your skin. It'll burn and discolor it.
