Funrise Toys, who is distributing the Nylint crawlers to Wal-Mart and I had a chat. Seems that there were some normal delays and the crawlers are now expected to be on sale at Wal-Mart during the last week of September, depending on your location etc.

How did JIA get his then?

JasonInAugusta · 07-31-2005, 10:24 AM

Bought it at Wal-Mart.

Dirk, there's a thread on the 1/18 rig in the small scale forum.

1/18 Scorpion/Jeep info (tons of pics)

This shows that you should never listen to me! haha
Perhaps another distributor got them to WalMart before Funrise? Not sure. I only posted what I was told.....obviously before I looked at all the threads.

Lol

DirkDigler · 07-31-2005, 10:43 AM

You know...come to think of it: this guy told me that he thought that some Walmarts, Targets, etc might already have them because of multiple distributors. He did say that the 6th scale crawlers would be in at the end of Sept. Maybe that's what I misunderstood....6th scalers at the end of Sept?????? Has anyone seen the bigguns yet?

I heard someone saw the 1/6 Jeep.

EDIT: This is it.

The tires look pretty good, decent compound, (not Masher 2K soft, more like Imex Swamp Dawg.) and flexible. A dual motored, off-road R/C with proportional electronics for less than $100, that's hard to beat. I'd consider buying one but they are just too darn big! In fact, the major hobby quality manufacturers should be ashamed that a toy company beat them to it.

Still no sign of Scorpions, 1/6 or 1/18.

I heard from my uncles, wifes, brother in laws friend, who is a priest that knows another priest who over heard from his sisters butcher that cuts meat for a local taxidermist that stuffed a pig for this guy who heard that a water treatment plant worker had one.

Pete, I've been talking to Mike Seay, the owner of Tactical Vehicles Inc., the 1/6 Scorps were delayed in Customs.

These were supposed to have been on the shelves the 5th of July...both the 1/18 and 1/6 rigs.

Didn't happen that way.

Mike is sending me a 1/6 rig, so I'll have info on that when it gets here.

Got Rocks? · 08-01-2005, 08:15 AM

i just purchased the 1:6 scale jeep yesterday it is big and i have yet to drive it the instructions reguire that you charge the 12volt battery for 18 hours before first use

Got Rocks? · 08-04-2005, 11:19 AM

chafey · 08-05-2005, 10:49 AM

woo hoo some one else from utah!!!

CrawlnSlow · 08-05-2005, 11:15 AM

I saw a 1/6 scale leaving toys r us in someone elses cart. From a distance it looked beautiful.

RC Girl · 08-05-2005, 11:39 AM

My local Wal-Marts (4 within spitting distance) all have the 1:6 Jeep (several actually), no Scorp. The 1:18s apparently flew off the shelves and I grabbed the last 1;18 Scorpion they had two days ago.

My 3-year-old daughter, as I type this, is sitting her having a ball driving it around and crawling all over the stuff in my room.

I am thinking really hard about going to grab the 1:6 Jeep and seeing what it can do...

rbgerrish · 08-05-2005, 12:55 PM

I saw (6) 1:6 scale jeep rock crawlers at a walmart in Salem, Or. They were $149.95 each. (No sales tax!)

Got Rocks? · 08-05-2005, 01:10 PM

i broke my jeep and traded it in no questions asked even though the box says do not return to store

RC Girl · 08-05-2005, 04:43 PM

How'd ya break it so fast? Do you drive like my daughter...full throttle until it smacks the wall and then you think about stopping.

LOL!

BagoXCAlum · 08-05-2005, 08:28 PM

No luck finding them here.

Really want a 1:18 Jeep!
