Goddamn! I'm ordering every one of those when they come out, 2 sets of a couple methinks!!! Well, except maybe the Impul ones...

Great pics. The Top Secret S15 is nice. Hopefully the Work Equips are just temporary and the finished product will come with Volk GT-C's. And the Impul F55 Cima looks great. I want this one. Though I'll pass on the F50 President. Why didn't they make the Fuga/M45? That would have been a better choice than the new President.

I was hoping to see the the add-on parts that come with the stretchwall wheels, but I guess the photos on the brochure is okay for now.

Fujimi's F430 and Murcielago Roadster are still very early in development from those pics. Guess we shouldn't hope for them in 2005.

It looks like all my prayers have been answered! I love aoshima!

Scretchwalls!!!!!!!!!

I hear ya. Which do you prefer? The M45 or revised M? I'm kinda drawn to the boxier (US shunned M45).

So is there any more info about the stretchwalls? And whats this about "add-on parts that come with the stretchwall tyres" ?

I only hope they're slightly larger in diameter than the ones in the "chiki chiki" kits, as they were kind of tiny, but still looked great.

The AE86 w/engine looks fantastic, I hope they do a levin at some stage. I may buy one or two just to rob engine parts for my N2 levin coupe project.

The stretchwall wheel sets are not just wheels and tires like the S-Part or VIP wheels. They come as an add-on parts set at 1400 yen. There are 8 different ones. The add-on parts are license plate stuff with decals, 2 types of shifter knobs, some interior parts. Maybe some more stuff. I can't tell/understand.

It's on this pages, scroll down halfway. http://www.hobby.co.jp/hobby_show/japan/pla/14.htm

At 1400 yen, if the add-on stuff is worthless, it would make more sense to buy the kits at 2000 yen.

I agree, the older one (Y34) looked better, but Nissan didn't give it a chance especially with a more powerful, better priced G35 getting released shortly afterwards. The new M is great, too. Wouldn't complain about either one.

Hmm I see what you mean about value for money.
I'll probably get one or two of the parts sets, and a couple of models. The Soarer and Supra/Celica XX look great! I guess hobbyworld will be the place to watch for them, HLJ didn't even list the chiki chiki kits on their site.

Those sets are the same wheels that come in the ChikiChiki Racing kits. Perfect, IMO.

It's strange that none of the big stores aside from Hobbyworld carries these kits. The only other places I've seen them are at some local Japanese hobby shops I've dealt with. No HLJ. No HobbySearch. No R10. And none of the US shops get them either. I don't think they are even marketed outside of Japan. And they sell out frustratingly quick even. They must not make many of them.

I'm avidly watching Hobbyworld, I want both those car kits and probably one of everything except the D-01 dish - though I'll get at least 2 sets of Longchamps and Yayoi Sakuras...

Why didn't you just pre-order them from Hobbyworld awhile back? Waiting for something always bothers me. Got distracted for a few days while waiting for some Fujimi Ferrari to be released. Had to check 6 stores to find anyone that still had any left. Now, I don't wait.

I didn't realise they had been available for pre-order already?

It was right at the end of August. That's when I placed my preorder. No worries, I'll post, as I'm sure many members here will as well, when they are released at the end of the month.

I take it as with the chiki chiri(? I think thats what they are called) kits that HLJ will not be carrying these wheel sets either? damn that sucks... i guess I'll have to make my first oder with hobbyworld soon..are they any good?

Doesn't look like it. HLJ has the other items for pre-order, Gram Lights, Work Emotion, Blitz wheels, AE86, FC3S, D1 kits, etc, but neither of the new Chiki kits nor the wheels.

Hobbyworld is great, IMO better than HLJ (which I haven't used in over 2 years). Cheaper (by 6-10%), faster (no 5-7 day "processing" time), and nicer.

hmm so I guess I can't preorder the wheels anymore, but once they come availiable I can possibly find them up there? The only thing about the hobby world site is that it isn't as easy to navigate thru, but its cool, its worth it to be able to get those kits and wheels

Ahh well, my bad, I hadn't even seen they were being released until the radicon pics. I flipped them an email so hopefully thye might be able to add me to the list.

First 4 sets of the stretchwall wheel series have just been released. Get them while they are hot.

For those that might have missed it, HobbyWorld just restocked on the recently released stretchwalls which sold out in a couple days last week.
