kwikbb,

I hope Takara does start packaging some of their upcoming cars with the Propo Special. That would make it so much easier for people to want to buy a DigiQ!

If it makes you feel any better, the Propo controller that comes with the Formula cars can only work with those cars and not the DigiQs. Also, practically everyone is complaining about how awful the Formula cars are, so I guess the least they could do was package a good controller with the car. I checked out the cars on Cosmogames, and I think you were looking at the Formula car bodies for $24.99. Those aren't the whole car, just the body They did have one car without the controller, and that one was $40.00. I'm guessing that means all the Formula cars perform the same, and you just need to buy different bodies for your chassis, like the Bit Char-G cars.

Getting over the hump and buying that Propo Special and your first car is the hardest part. Once you get it, though, it's not as hard to buy the next car, and the next... the quality of the cars and the controller make it seem like it's worth the money
