Well, the release says Sept 26, so you can probably order it from Japan or from eBay a couple days later.

It's called marketing. You get more money if you maintain interest by always having something on the horizon to look forward to. Think about Lord of the Rings...all three movies were filmed at the same time, but they are releasing them a year apart. Yes, part of that is the time for special effects, but mostly they spaced them so they could maintain interest. They released the video shortly before the next movie. They'll do the same thing next year. And then after the third movie goes to video, they'll come out with the three movie "special edition" set.

when do these all come out? I love nissans, so teh Z is a MUST. Im also liking the skyline set, but i reallydont need it. Its just nice, if i happen to run by a cheap set id consider it.
I really need the tire set, in red/blue/grey, That supra body, adn nsx body. I already have quite a few nice designs for em and the cars i have at this moment, but i dont have the tires and such. So i need to know when they come out, and when tiny will stock em. Tiny, if you got aim please hit me up at kbtoyz902.
EDIT: that race game i believe is automodelista. I think i read taht it was it somewhere, and all 4 of those have been in automodelista pics. Especially teh Blue Rx7.

Those Wild Char-G trucks are pretty sweet. :)
Since there coming out with weapons for them, will there be an extra channel on the transmitter to activate the weapon? Will the transmitter be the standard Bit transmitter or will it use the Booster controller?

Mini Cooper, yay.
I'm looking forward to the Bit-Char W (bit CHEW, anyone?). Would their gimmicks errr...weaponry be considered dangerous on the race track???
But I'd like to see more pics if any on some Mini R/C tank that I heard could fire BBs.
