Found these on Toyeast yesterday. Check it out:

Gots to get me one! Look closely at the wheels. They look damn similar to the wheels that come with the SuperBit High Speed set....nicey nice! And is it me, or do some of those buses already looked slammed to the ground?

I'm new to the forum but have been lurking around here since the end of last December. It has been informative and entertaining to say the least. There are some very talented pimps around here as far as bit customization is concerned.

I know there was some discussion about VW Microbuses a little while back and I was surprised that noone had found these and starting talking about them yet. So, I felt it was my Bitpimping duty to do so.

Maybe Jmays could get a hold of one of the Blue ones, cut out some more windows and make a mini replica of his VW.

DT: I hear ya man. I am new around here, but I have a shi@#load of these cars. Those vdub bus bodies are sweet looking and I can't seem to help myself...I know I will break down soon and order one...along with a bunch of other stuff to justify the cost of shipping....Now I see Tomy is coming out with some new Ferarri bodies (saw them on HLJ) Gack!!!God...make it stop!

What's way too many, out of curiosity?

filelicker · Post by **filelicker** » Fri Apr 23, 2004 3:38 pm

My last count was 80 complete cars{ bits , zips , fits , clones , thunders , lxx , etc.} and many other parts cars , bodies , etc.

You're fine... sounds about like my collection. What would you do without 'em? I say, stop at an even 300.

Holy shit! Is that just bit scale, or other stuff, too? I have like 17 assorted 1/64 scale cars, but I also have like 6 or 7 cars of various other scales, and a bit scale motorworks tank and nkok boat, too..... but 80.....

HOLY SHIT!!!!

Awwwww Shit....

Just sticking with bodies huh? LOL...if I had a dime for every time I thought that, I could support this bit habit of mine and not go broke!

Ok...so you all pretty much got me beat...now I feel the need to buy more. I've got just about 20 complete kits, a whole shitload of bodies, motors, wheels, batts, heatsinks, etc. If I had to guess...I'd say I have a good $400 or so wrapped up in these damn things since December. Went out and got myself a nice big tacklebox to store it all and now I'm pretty much out of room.....time to buy a display case I guess...

Hmmmm...I'm thinking plexiglass, mirrored back, lighted on top....

I've been trying hard to stay away from those Ferrari and Lambo Sets because I hate the thought of dropping like $80 bucks all at once, but its getting to me and I might brake down and do it when I get that Vdub bus...Ugh!

Yeah those micro buses are tight. Hey DT, I emailed toyeast and they told me that they do sell the bodies by themselves, they just havent had time to put them up. I just ordered a set of those along with the Tomy Limited Skyline BitcharG set at the Groupbuy thats going on at Tinyrc. I cant wait to get them.
