How do ya mean CJ? I don't understand why they would disco just the white supra. Either way, I havn't seen one in my store for over a month, so maybe there is some truth in this. Honestly tho that doesn't bother me, but damn what does is WHEN THE HELL ARE WE GONNA GET NEW X-MOD SHIAT!?!?! I't nuts, every day I get people in the store and they are like, "yup have that, have that, have 3 of those, is there anything new?" We get new Zip stuff it seems at leaste every 2 weeks if not every week.... I dunno.

Yeah, I think RS is missing the boat on new Xmod product. Personally, I predicted there would be a second wave of new stuff in March, after last November's intro. Had there been new stuff (body sets, metal axle cups, etc.) I would have loaded up. As it is now, I have an iWaver in the mail from ToyEast. I think there was a misjudgement in attention span.

I agree. I have yet to buy an X-mod, mainly because I do not like the current offering of body styles. I have been waiting to see what new styles will be offered and have been surprised that nothing new has come out since their introduction. Now the iwaiver is looking pretty tempting.

I personally would like to see some exotic sports car bodies offered.

to hell with what bodies are offered. iwaver electronics are superior. i think the xmod chassis may be a better design, but at 25bucks, you cant beat the iwaver.

True dat....25 bones is a steal...can't really go wrong. Hell, a zip zap SE costs that much.

don't forget the shipping, though... it's gonna cost $45 to get it to your door, which is still cheaper than an xmod.

Even when you factor in the shipping, the iWaver is a better value... look at the mini-z aftermarket... you have nearly unlimited choices on how to upgrade, where as with the x-mod, you're pretty much limited to what the Shaq is offering, and only a handful of aftermarket stuff, and some of those guys seem a little shady.

I do recall reading a press release(and I believe I followed a link someone had put up here to get to it) that the Shaq put out to the financial magazines and newspapers that talked about the success of the x-mods, and their plans to release two more body styles this summer, but they didn't say what they would be.

Ditto on all the iwaver loving. It's sad that RS hasn't come out with anything "new and improved" but I got no problems with waiting and seeing.
