In the Detroit, MI. area Radio Shacks, you can't find a ZZ. They are selling full lots the day the cars ship at most locations. I've checked six or seven stores in the past few weeks looking for them without any luck. In contrast, I can get Microsizers anywhere and some hobby stores are complaining about weak sales. Add the grotesque amount of knock offs and I think the ZZ may end up the overall winner this X-Mas season.

The name is catchy with kids and the Dads like to see the 'Classic American' body styles. The first thing out of my mouth when looking at the Microsizers was, 'Judas, no Vette, Viper or even a Ferrari body? What the heck is with all these foreign rides?' ( Keep in mind I'm from the Detroit area, we tend to think American Models. I quickly settled for the Honda S2000. )

The ZZ's lack in detail and performance in many cases, but the name recognition and body styles may give them an edge.

Anyone want to comment further?

ps. ( I like the Microsizer better than the ZZ but want the elongated body for experimentation. )
