Default Nikko FJ body at Costco

Just thought you guys may want to hear about this (Canadian only possibly) I just returned from my local Costco wholesale and they have Nikko 1/6? scale FJ cruisers on sale for $39.99 which I thought was quite a good price.

Didn't actually get one, measured it out and it was a bit small for what I need, I may change my mind on that though, It is the same body that was used for the ultimate adventure mod on here (body comes in blue or yellow) It was approx 9" wide (I need 11" for the wk axles) Again could be Canadian or even Ontario only as I know they sometimes get different stock.

I think it could be Fastlane, I was in a toys-r-us and they had a yellow FJC "rock crawler" thing is perfect for 2.2 build and fairly detailed to boot.

Yea ,that cruiser looks very cool! It looks to be along the same scare as the newbright jeep wrangler.
All I know is that you dont want to order direct from Nikko international. I ordered 4 very cool hard plastic bodies from them and
It took forever to get my money back , after I waited 8 months for them to come off back order. They just kept telling me it would be another month, month after month............But I did finally get the credit back..alls well that ends well, just a warning to all!!!!!

Yeah...I saw that one when I was looking for my FJ but the detail wasn't nearly as good as the Nikko FJ's. It had a lot of paint overspray and the roof rack and other details were pretty flimsy...

Now that 1/6 Benz would make for a sick 2.2 scaler!

Sorry for the late reply I hope there are some left. It was the Burlington location that I saw them at. Where in Burlington are you located we should meet up one day. Also I swear that they were Nikko not new bright Edit: I just checked nikko's web site and found the exact model, its listed under 1/10th scale and would probably go well with 2.2's http://www.nikkoamerica.com/rc/truck...20Cruiser.html
