To get a 1:6 SCORPION, go to Wal-Mart and request item #725801. They will order it and get it in the store for you! They have TONS of them in their warehouses, but an inventory snafu prevented them from hitting the shelves until now.

Are they the upgraded chassis models?

slashsplat · 12-07-2005, 02:25 PM

We are the licensor of the Brand, and not the manufacturer (Funrise) so I regret that I have no way to know! They are later production, I do know that. And they all have the same warranty.

The Lyin' King · 12-09-2005, 10:24 PM

Thanks. So how's it going with the spare/mod parts you were thinking about stocking

? The rear steer conversion comes to mind but I believe there were other offerings mentioned

.

slashsplat · 12-10-2005, 10:16 AM

Mods coming slowly. Funrise is just trying to keep the orders flowing. We will post when we have timelines... At least the 1:6 Scorpions are finally available at W-M by order, and shortly will be on the shelves.

. Very nice toy.

Good luck ordering **** from walmart, two diff lay-away counters told me that even with the walmart item number they can only order by UPC, SOL.

So until you can get them a different UPC code or put them online from walmart.com or you sell direct at scorpioncars.com then its luck of the draw

Walmart sucks

Johnson420 · 12-10-2005, 09:42 PM

I just picked up my 1:6 SCORPION last night.

The only one that was on the shelf with 14 1:6 JEEPS.

This thing is AWESOME!

The Manager is simply wrong. However, it could be because W-M screwed up the ID in their inventory system so it disappeared. I am absolutely positive that they have more in their warehouses than you can imagine... Their inventory system was not updated correctly with the item number and they got "stuck" in the system for weeks and weeks. That was JUST fixed last week.

You'll see...

Could you get the UPC number off the box and post it for everyone? Apparently THAT is what is required to order them at the stores...

Amazing... They have them and I will work to get the UPC code. How absurd that they cannot find it with the ACTUAL Wal-Mart item number... Ya kinda woulda thought a stupid inventory system could FIND the darned things... Hey, they are only the largest retailer in the WORLD, sheeesh.

We - nor Funrise - have any control of them putting them on WalMart.com. And, ScorpionCars.com cannot get any because ALL of the production is going to fill the Wal-Mart orders.

And why did they call you "S.O.L."?

Bmr4life · 12-11-2005, 12:01 AM

Wow. Guess I was one of the first to get one (12/04/05). Just to let everyone know, they do have the upgraded chassis. You can see that the shocks are screwed instead of riveted and the little metal brackets above the knuckles.

Got me a 1:6 scorpion today!!! This thing is Huge.

The UPC is the same as the jeep.

Box Says " UPC 021664061619 item #06161 "

Receipt says " Rock Crawler 0021664061619 "

Johnson420 · 12-11-2005, 12:09 AM

1:6 Scorpion

Walmart

Item Number #06161

Proof of Purchase #21664 06161

Right off the box

Good Luck

Mutt · 12-11-2005, 06:34 AM

Yup, like i was told and have been saying, just because you guys say the walmart number is one thing, doesn't mean they aren't lazy and just use the same number...

In their eyes its still a $149.96 RC 6th Rock crawler

floogldood · 12-11-2005, 12:32 PM

I have made 3-4 phone calls to wallyworlds and get an unsure response about the specific scorpion. I am patient, and they will probably just appear one day.

We have finally determined that Wal-Mart has insisted on using the SAME UPC code for both the 1:6 Jeep and the 1:6 Scorpion.

W-M cannot tell them apart, and you cannot explicitely order a 1:6 Scorpion. The ONLY business in the US that has 1:6 Scorpions is W-M. (Target.com has the 1:18 only).

The good news is that they were shipped Jeeps first, then, weeks later, Scorpions. So, as we are seeing from the reports posted here, the Scorpions are beginning to trickle out of the warehouses as the Jeeps sell out.

And that explains why the Scorpions were on clearance occasionally, when the store was trying to move more Jeeps, and they wound up with Scorpions on the shelf instead.

Eventually, the ONLY 1:6 in the stores will be Scorpions. I suspect that W-M might re-order only when most of the Scorpions are gone, so if you want a Jeep, get it now! We would PREFER that you buy a Scorpion, though, because ScorpionCars.com licenses the Scorpion Brand!

That is the story. The UPC code for both is 021664 06161 9.

Remember, scattered in the Yellow standard Scorpions are a few RED ones that are limited edition with Certificates of Authentication. They are the same price, and you should look for them! They will be on the shelves at random.
