Tried calling RadioShack again today to try and order the new SEs, and all 4 are still on back-order status (apparently ‘back-ordered’ is a generically used term for back-ordered and ‘not yet available’).

A nice enough guy asked me my name and number and that he’ll call me back with updated details of ETA.

I’ll post an update once I have more info.

Cool...looking forward to the news.

Could that mean that they have already sent a bunch of shipments out to stores and they just don't have them in the factory right now?

Well, so much for that...It's after 6pm here and I haven't heard back from Ratshack, I don't think I'm going to either.

Well, I'll be makin another call tomorrow then.

Persistant are we? :D

Hehe, I've been known to go into 'tunnel vision' mode when it comes to getting more info on something I want! ;)

I used to have a girl call me everytime something new came out on that day and usually put the item on hold, but she suddenly stop. Maybe she no longer works there. Time to work my magic on some other unsuspecting female. ;)

nice dream BC, nice dream...

I know this doesn't really fit the thread but what do you people think of the Mustang? How is quality of that one... I like the look of it and think i'm gonna buy a couple.

I have a Mustang and the steering is pretty messed up. Then again, I bought mine when they first came out. I'd take Namuna's advice and check the codes on the box before you buy (2A04) or later. Actually, if you really like the look of it get it. If it doesn't work properly, you can always return it.

Personally, I think they did a bad job with the Mustang shell. The profile of the fenders and quarter panels are way too high. I'm sure the reason for this has to do with the high profile of the electronics as we were discussing earlier.

Any more info on this? I am especially interested in whats gonna come in those monster truck kits.

Not a dream....

This one gal used to call me at work the very first thing the day something new was released from the 800 line and hold the item till I ordered it. Ask any old timers here, I usuall was the first with something new days before they showed up anywhere else.

In fact, TinyRC was the first place to see an actual SE. ;)

I remember it... it is true. Just make sure we are the first to see all these other zz's.

;)

Just Playing

Edit - I just realized how long ago I registered here. I can't beleive I still play with these things.:D

Yup, I can second this. I remember you getting the very first ones overnighted to you as soon as the Shack got them in stock.

Some new info from CJ...

60-7058 HULK CHEVY 27MHZ $24.99
60-7060 SPIDERMAN HUMMER 27MHZ $24.99

The first page has been updated.

Are these regular Zips or SEs? Seems like they would be SEs at that price.

My understanding is they'll be Monster Trucks.

Also, if anyone hasn't already seen them:

Dodge Viper SE (in red)
Dodge Viper SE (in black)
