I've been around Bits for quite a while and have never heard or seen this set
on any website, and I've been around the block a few times.......

Yep, thats the trueno tune up set. They were allready rare when I first got into bits. I almost bought one from bithed but never went through with it for one reason or another. Dat there is my moby dick man. I still want one of those for my collection.

Blast from the past.....

It was sixty bucks when I was lookin at it a couple of years ago. $80 is too rich for my blood.

You're right! Who has $50-$60 for standard Bits ????????
Their price for standard Bits are fuckin insane! The AE86 set ain't so bad when compared to the other
Special Edition Sets ($20.00 more) but all that shit is just Ludacrist

I might check'em out

here it is but sold out they might get more?

This place maybe $5.00 cheaper since their standard Bits are. I'm gonna hafta put out some feelers on this one

Thanx SWG !

Only way I see getting a better deal on it is that some dude that has it, puts it up on ebay for a more reasonable price. Like I said before when I was shopping for that set a couple of years ago best I could find was $60 shipped. (then again that was during the time when bits were real hot)
You can get intouch with bithed and see if he can do anything for ya....

Man you can't give yourself a name like "BitHead" and ever leave, shit don't sound right!

I'm putting out feelers including the contacts SWG gave.

When I first got into bits years ago, that kit was everywhere, and I was sick of seeing it to tell you the truth, but now I wouldn't mind it for the memories it just sparked.

yes, i have seen that kit first hand actually, about 20 of them stacked together two years ago in taiwan. I brought one back just to sell it. went for 60 i think when i bought it for NT600 which is roughly USD20. I wish i kept it tho.

Hi gurus....been abit late on the band wagon. have purchase 3 sets of bits, gloria (USD 8.00), auto modellista (USd 24.00) of course the Trueno tune up kit (USD 24.00) it really is quite a steal for all these under USD 60.00

Saw a toy collector selling it for USD 50.00
