I have really disliked the MS site, and now I dislike it more than ever.

That is the first I've seen or heard of a bit or MS Mercedes.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
Ok, now I am really mad. This German site is everything the US site should be.

The US site is made for 5 year olds, and I don't think they care if the child ever comes back or not. I'm very unhappy with hobbico accross the board, as to how they market MS.

I also read on there that the new line of MS pros (In Germany they are called 6Tc, or something) do have the new controller and are 6 player.

Also, it seems that they have the Super Bit chassis, as the website mentions that the rear tires are smaller than the originals, giving it a more realistic look.

SWEEEEEET!!!!!!!!

Now, forget China, how do I go about ordering stuff from Germany?
Anyone?
Anyone?

The German site you guys are talking about is not a micro sizers site.. They just use the name..

The alloy wheels are not a MS product. They are from Scala 43,and while their site is cool, it's just some techies that put together a good thing, and used a well known name.

Cool site, but a bit misleading, and those alloy wheels are next to impossible to get in the USA.

Before they were micro sizers, they were bit char-G.de

Great, back to the reality of crappy MS marketing.

The site looks pretty official. They probably managed to buy the Microsizer rights for Europe. Notice how the boxes differ from the US ones but still say Hobbico etc.

If you wish to buy anything of their stuff, try the links on this page:
Online shops in germany

Look at this page:

tableracer.de

They will make custom designed bits for you with e.g. your company logo if you order 100 or more. Look at that new Beetle in the lower right hand corner. Now that's a sleek bit.

Btw: if you're considering to order. Notice that a Skyline is E35, which is like USD 39 or something.

All those alloy wheels on all those sites are coming from http://www.scala43.com/scala43/rad.htm

If they were an official MS site, they'd be holding the "Microsizers World Challenge"
