Nuremberg Toy Fair

[LauBak]

I believe the will release 1/24 CLK DTM 2002. They show the real car of Pennzoil GTR, Subaru WRC in previous hobby show and they had came true. But maybe not show up in this toy fair?

Not sure how I like the poses of the drivers of the Pug, but then again, I suppose it's easy enough to not build them... It's the 2002 NZ rally car, so should make for a nice kit.

Pity we only get the bike, and the one car, then again, we DID get the Enzo last year as a bit of a 'bonus' (Well, most of us are still waiting for it...)

/me unhappy

one "new" 1:24...tamiya..i expected more

An absolute disappointment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what are they doing...dreaming? They are getting more and more like Fujimi. 1 mold, million of different version, just by adding some different figures, decals don't really satisfy the modelers.
But anyway, will still buy some and fix.
Hopefully, they can come out more 1/24 scale kits.

Well, it does appear to have a different suspension set up, which is nice. So it's not a total "ripoff". Hopefully these aren't all of the kits being released this year. THere is the limited edition RS Ford Focus kit coming out in February. I will probably get it for the new suspension parts alone and get an aftermarket decal set later, mabye some Marlboro decals to model the new car.

It is a huge dissapointment, i imagine we will see some great things from them later in the year though.

Perhaps they should cheer all us car modelers up by reissuing a load of kits.
