Those do look cool. I hope they're still around in couple months, because there's too much good stuff out there right now.

i received mine the other day. i like it a lot. with the bigger scale there's the possibilities for more proportioned and better detailed bodies. the controller takes 4 aa batteries and the fwd/rev and left right buttons are backlight with blue leds. the car itself is decent with good tracking and range, and the leds on the car (headlights and tail lights) are super bright. it's a shame these are coming out on what seems to be the tail end of the micro craze. it seems like it would have been a good platform for modders. here's some pics...

bought two more. these are the racer types instead of the classic car types...

here's the packaging. they come in a nice plastic display case similar to the autoscale mini-z's and the rat shack dg masters of a few years ago.

all the cars in this series have interiors. the seats are nice; the speakers that are on the back parcel shelf are a little over the top for me.
