Love the Mahle wheels on the Creamsicle!

SA-Weeet!!
I wonder why the Bee has a standard valance installed? I also notice that it has side markers the Creamsicle doesn't

Posted by: zymurgist Nov 18 2011, 01:14 PM

If the Bee is 1/90 scale, I would expect that the side markers are just dots of orange paint. The others are 1/43 scale. Still, the GT and the Creamsicle have different valences.

I have the Schuco "Dreamside" Limited Edition (1000 pieces) in the piccolo series. It is pretty small - detail is good - but yes the side markers are just a painted dot.

Hmmm, catalog still says "nicht verfugbar" = not available
Have they simply not yet updated the catalog listing?
We need to do a group buy to save on shipping.

Group buy is a great idea! I would be in for a few.

Posted by: beech4rd Nov 18 2011, 05:26 PM

Me, too.

+1 +1 group buy

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Nov 18 2011, 09:49 PM

I would go in for a group buy as well.

Posted by: nsr-jamie Nov 19 2011, 02:13 AM

someone say group buy?? I could use those 1:43 cars for sure

Posted by: zymurgist Nov 19 2011, 08:19 AM

Me too!

Posted by: ellisor3 Nov 19 2011, 08:24 AM

I would be in as well. Logistics would be tough though. Although won't be as tough as those AA lenses.

Anyone know if the 1/43 scale versions of this are available in the US?

Posted by: Gustl Mar 11 2012, 12:00 AM

all of them are available via eBay
most sellers ship internationally

btw - the 1/43 Bumblebee is available as well as a brand new 1/43 Max Moritz prepared 914-6 (limited to 500 pcs!)

If someone does a group buy, I might have to get one of each.

Posted by: Kansas 914 Apr 2 2012, 06:32 AM

These really do exist - mine arrived 2 weeks ago while I was out of town!
