Well, didn't actually arrive as such, had to go and collect it, coz for the first time ever i had to fork out for some custom charges:( Nearly £16 worth, god damn customs and excise:mad:

Anyway, enough moaning:D I'll explain what i got here. Two Bit Char-G's coz they were dirt cheap in the sale:D Two 1/43 Ebbro GT-R33's - I got these coz have hopes to make decal sets for the same Tamiya kits. Finally some Modelers detailing supplies, the radiator hose is a little disapointing, its nothing more than a boot lace!

Nice order. I have one of those Bit Char-Gs. A word of advice, don't let them run into walls at high speeds! I made that mistake and I haven't been keen enough to solder the wire back on yet :eek:

I like your phone too :p

Its Modelers, not Detail Master. On closer inspection they are really good quality.

The Bit Char-g are fun for about 5mins, i wouldn't have bothered but because they were in the sale i thought they would amuse me by chasing the cat. She took more interest in the little plastic bit on the end of the aerial that bobs about. One has stopped working now too, i'll email HLJ and see what they say.

Can you post some more pictures of the Ebbro DC car?

LoL. While the first pic loading half way, I thought Tomy made "Bitch Arg". HA!

Zip Zaps are the cheap rip-offs of Bit Char-G's.

Chris - i got the same Bit-Char-G set as you, the Skyline one. unfortunatley it doesn't have the "turbo" button on the controller...

nice order.

I have two Skylines, the Xanavia one and the Nismo Castrol one. I have the discontinued Initial D set as well, with the FD3S and a trueno. The Nismo and Initial D sets are unopened. I also have a FD Microsizer and I bought my 9 year old bro an Impreza for his B-Day.

Bit Charg's are so boring! i agree with Chris, 5 mins and you'll be over them... glad i picked up a clone for 10 bucks.

Does anybody know if I would have to pay customs with an order coming into Australia?

Yeah, but the fun never stops once I bought a REAL 1/10 Scale R/C car
:flash: Damn they are fast!
