WOW! $399 for a Bit!
I wonder what is so special about those models, and why ANYONE would pay that much for a toy.

They said they are really rare and shh about why anybody would pay lol my girl is getting it for my bday did u see the booster sets too on there

Wow, I guess you want one of those rare ones pretty bad! Which one are you getting?
I'm pretty much happy with my $40 Mach 5 Bit, not really that rare, but not that common here in the US.

If you're gonna spend $400, maybe think about a BIG RC like a Traxxas T-Maxx!

notice most of the other cars are $39 and those are $399

thats the stupidest thing i've ever heard of

why are you letting your girlfriend waste that much money

Typo, and all of the above posters are gullible for thinking that any bit could possibly retail for that much.

Okay, but to be less harsh, I wouldn't ever pay more than $40 for a bit.

For $400, I'd expect internal triple cell, dual R-Specs, custom alloy rims with wide tires, spring suspension all around, 4WD, digi proportional, and like 50 bodies. And then I still wouldn't pay more than $200 for that setup.

Make a limited edition body with a special motor (the Skyline is 1 of only 1000 of that body, and has the only Tomy-produced 3.0 motor), and you can sell them for whatever the market will bear. I don't think it's a typo at all, unles it's there and on thier ordering page. And being rare, they can ask whatever they want. Sure, $400 for something you could lose between your carseats is ridiculous, but that doesn't make it any less true.

Some typo indeed.....tell that to all the people that pay thousands for those pieces of thick paper they call baseball cards.

JTM · #11 01-16-2003, 02:54 AM

wow $400, id never pay that much.. especially since these things will all but fade out in about a year if not sooner. i doubt youll be able to retain it and re-sell it for any profit, wichis the only reason anyonewould pay 400 for it, and that xbox wrx would be SO easy to re-create

The skyline one is a last model year skyline NuR.

So the mold of the R-34 from the skyline set painted pretty, and then they only make 1000.

They can try, give it a year and they'll be trying to sell them on ebay for $30.

DONT BUY IT.

Its a plain rip off, you could buy 10 or more tomys for that, its a waste, all you are really paying for is the shell and presentation box.

Get a skyline shell and spray it that colour.

If you do buy it, then you are silly. The people at the shop are really trying it on, and you will be a laughing stock to them.

I thought it was a typing error, till i c another next to it for 175 !

Its not really nice either.

I personally don't think much of the x-box, its just microsoft,and would u want that written on ur car?

How about a pic of Bill Gates? Yuk.

The XBOX isn't really ever gonna be looked upon as great, so neither will a nice subaru with horrible logos on it look great, even in the future as collectibles.

I know u want it because its limited edition, but take a step back and look at what yu are actually getting, it isn't really that nice!

I KNOW IM GOING ON but the retailers cant keep taking people as stupid and ripping them off.

hey i own 3 of them and man its so fast that i was running it on a bearskin rug and it was still going really fast and it hit a wall and exploded so thats why i cant show anyone.
