Are you getting a Bruiser?

[WoodiE]

Now with the 1985 Tamiya Bruiser being re-released, anyone have any plans on picking one up?

I'd love to have something like that, but all my money goes into my savage and my 1:1.

 

[HPI-Killer]

Not at all, I owned the first version, and its garbage IMHO...

 

[robmob]

Yes I am.

A little pricey, but I will be culling the herd to cover the cost and it is much cheaper than getting an original.

I still kick myself in the ass for not buying one back in the 80's. I remember seeing them on the shelf on more then one occasion at the many local hobby shops with clearance stickers on the boxes.

Now I just need Tamiya to reissue the Egress and the planets will be aligned in my world.

The Bruiser was in an untouchable world only seen in magazines. I'd love to have one but Rc4wd may be on my radar first.

I plan on building it and painting it per the box art. It will then be waxed daily Rolex style.

It looks good but i might hold off for a while

FINALLY, another member comes around.

A Toyota body on something that looks to be built Ford tough.

When I first heard about the re re I wanted one but $800.00 is too steep for me. If I had interest in collecting it would be worth it but I know I would beat it up.

 

[robmob]

The cheapest I have found it so far is $700. I don't plan on being the first kid on the block to have one so I expect it to cost me in the $600 - $650 range eventually.

 

[tmaxxfreek]

i don't think i could come off 800 for one either, i wouldn't be able to sit it up and look at it, i would have to get it out and beat the brakes off of it.

The RC4WD has my vote. It has better mechanicals IMO.

 

[slowngreen]

I have no interest in it at all. Id take it if it were free but thats the only way Id get one.

 

[robmob]

The Bruiser will mainly appeal to those that were old enough at the time it was originally released to want one. LOL

 

[big specht]

I'm glad I still have two old ones I wouldn't want to spend 700 on one

 

[Racer 1966]

Too rich for my poor blood :no:

 

[nachos]

I'm sitting on the fence on this one.
I love the design features and capabilities of the truck, but the pricetag is putting me off to committing to it.

X2 That kinda price tag is reserved for comp crawlers only, LOL!!!

 

[frickenjoey]

I am plenty old enough to remember them but no way I would pay that much for one. Not even if it was half the price O eould not go for it

 

[spider]

I just parted my vintage one out. lol! So nope none here. They can keep it and that high price.
