Ok, Bibbster finished his review.
So now what do you folks think?
The car itself is not a head turner for me, but it is for some of you.
The chassis and design is interesting though.
It is easy to critique model selection, I know. But maybe in the future if they bring something different we might have a player?

I suspect that people haven't noticed this thread so I'm bumping it... See? I'm bumping! I'm bumping!
I'm also going to redirect attention from where folks are talking about it.

It appears to be a very interesting car. However I do not think I would put one of these on my "buy list".
One thing that I think is something you might want to do is to remove one of the set screws on each of the rear wheels. I have found this is a false sense of security. If either one loosens, the wheel loosens. It does not really work, but sure does look cool.
Try it some time. You will find that if you loosen either of the set screws the device comes loose, even though you have only loosened one side.
I think it is a very good looking car, but something that I do not have interest in.
Attractive packaging, lots of cool stuff included.
The chasis is interesting. I have used that type of slotting to provide for some interesting movement. It should be a road rocket and with that motor's power hooked up, a very fast car.
Good job Jeremy!

First, well done with the review Mr B.. Second, the car looks nice. Will I buy one, probably not. I didn't buy the other brands version, so I can not see shelling out money for this one.

No mention of the MSRP? I'm almost afraid to find out. This is a car that I may just want to get. Big question, who is selling it?

As I understand you buy it directly from the manufacturer, here;
http://blackarrow.es/The price quoted is 60 Euros, haven't checked the shipping costs though.

I think it's nice that we get more more hi-performance modern GT cars to choose from.
So far this segment has mainly been limited to a few models from NSR, BBR/MB Slot and Scaleauto.
If it delivers the goods then the price level seems OK to me, cheaper than NSR and about the same as Slot.it RAW cars.
