it is a bit (get it?) bigger. about 3 inches from tip to tip.

Yeah....that is some strange shit. But, keep looking because I've seen it around for a hell of a lot less than that.

The Mach 5 is kick ass by the way. Its like any other Tomy out of the box....slow as shit, but its a cool kit nonetheless....especially if you are old enough to remember that cartoon. It was one of my favs. There is another company out there that sells a Mach 5 and the Racer X Shooting Star. They are bvoth cheap clones, but the shooting star has a kick ass shell if you are in to the speed racer thing.

I bought a Tomy Mach 5 & Lupin III when TE was clearing them out. It does have the cool Mach % wheels too! I've seen the Mach 5 & Shooting Star (RacerX) clones.........

Don't you remeber when you could pick that shit up for cheap from toyest?

I remember when I picked up a whole Ferarri set from ebay for 12 bucks shipped once.....those were the days.

They aren't that much bigger. pretty close in size, its the point that makes them look so much bigger.

I actually want the Lupin III set. I have the anime series and am a fan. The GT-2 Porsche, I'm just gonna get the pullback. It's cheaper for me to just get the shell. Maybe I'll someday be able to shell out $30 to $40 for a SBCG. but not today. I'm starting to catch a 1/18th bug.

Where? Let me know. I have about $20 to spend and that's it. I gotta stop spending so much on this stuff if I'm ever going to get the house we've been looking at. Hook a pimp up S to the D to the OG...... :cool:
