Yeah, I found that YESasia site you're pullin' from and saw the same thing... I'm thinking these pics are pre-production prototypes and things changed a bit by the time they hit the market.

I remember ordering from that place way back, too... they seemed like a broker, more than a store. They had to track down what I ordered, then they ended up cancelling because they couldn't find it (a Dino, if I remember correctly).

No way. Those aren't prototypes. I'm telling you guys. I was pissed. I never forget things that piss me off. Now I really wish I waited so I could say, "See look I got one."

Its frustrating too, because the thread with our original discussion on Super Bits seems to be missing.

Me too.

Well, that puts me back to, "that is Holy-mf'n-Grail of Bits"... if one of those ever hits ebay, things could get ugly...

I'm still a doubter. I mean, even with the Nur, I've seen pictures of the box. Tomy would at least have had a picture of a retail product on their site.

While I skipped over the first release of super bits, I started snagging them about the time the Enzo and Dino came out. HLJ listed every bit that I ever heard of, even if they didn't have it in stock.

Well not that it'll convince Superfly, but just for my own self assurance, I know this was released with the other Super Bits, because I never even heard of a Miura until I saw the bit, and I knew what car DT was talking about as soon as he mentioned it. So I'm figuring I had to of seen it, and I remember seeing it for sale, because I remember wanting to buy it.

My memory sucks sometimes, and Superfly almost had me doubting myself for a sec, but this I am sure of (mostly).

The Miura was planned to be released but never made it off the production line.

Thank you for your order for a following item.

Item: Tomy G15 Lamborghini Miura (TOM68838)

Unfortunately, this particular product turned out to be a phantom. By
that
we mean that the manufacture announced it, but ended up never actually
releasing it. As such, we wanted to let you know that we were dropping
it
I'm sorry for the disappointing news.

It's the same with the Diablo to.

Thank you very much for clearing that up Scorpion.

I knew I saw that for sale, but I guess I was misinformed. Now it all makes sense. Then I guess that is the holy grail of rare bits.

That Was Fun

I saw that HLJ had them in their inventory, that's why I wanted to know if anyone else heard of them.
