Title: Need a "Flying" car?
Post by: Ironworker on 23 May 2011, 01:27:13 AM: Found this neat little kit from Hot Wheels at the local Wal-Mart for about $9.00.

I'm using it for my Starport project as the personal vehicle of Mr. John J. Biggs CEO of Venture Star Prospecting. Figure it would be good for sci-fi, Shadowrun, modern and near future spy games, Cyberpunk ect.....

That thing has Mega City One written all over it.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I will have to keep an eye out for those.

I wanted that one but they didn't have any at the local store when I picked this one up.

Post by: Digitarii on 24 May 2011, 04:41:48 AM: I have several of these kits and whether you build them standard or super customized, the bits are worth it for scenery and conversions. There was a tractor-trailer available as well and it came with parts to build a stock car or a dune buggy as well.

I do have the tumbler kit as well.
