I received the 8880 early this week and finished it over a couple of days. It is an awesome model to build. I changed a couple of small things I did not like. Then the 8448 showed up and I started it. I have the chassis finished and only the (...) (25 years ago, 7-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)

Hands down, I'd get the 8880. Simply because before too long, you will ONLY be able to get them at auction, and prices will skyrocket even more than they occasionally do. You can buy the 8448 for a least the next year. Get an 8880 from DYA now, and (...) (25 years ago, 7-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)

This discussion of the 8880 and 8448 Super Cars has been great. I don't own either yet, and find it difficult to decide between buying the older 8880 at auction or the 8448 new. For those familiar with both, if you had choose between one or the (...) (25 years ago, 7-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)

I ordered a bunch of stuff this morning from Shop at Home, and much to my surprise, the rep said that they had just gotten in their 8448's and were shipping them. I'll be getting mine next Tuesday or Wednesday. Woo-hoo! -Tim (25 years ago, 6-Aug-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
