| | | I just received my second 4x4 from Sears--they had 'em on discount again--it's such a nice set... Anywho, do I finally break down and buy the Super Car from S@H? I mean, it's red, looks great, but for 129 American... I'd only be missing one supercar (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | (...) The easy answer is buy it so you'll have a complete series. You have to ask yourself is it really worth it. I suppose no one can truly answer that, except you. The answers from others would carry subjectivity...in varying amounts. Also, I (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | (...) At one point, like between 1999 and sometime last year, I thought complete series was good. Now adays, I just look for the best models in the line (that have the elements I am looking for). I don't care so much about striving to be (...)

Then I ordered the Super Car from S@H, so that's 129 American plus shipping. Thank goodness the credit card's cleared... (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I like that it has several different designs, and the engine can be (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | If you like the 8466 Dave, the I think you'd really like the 8448 supercar too, IMHO. Both vehicles use the new technic panels for styling, as well as the flex axles for that 'flowing' look. These pieces add curvature to the model itself, something (...)

| | | | | | (...) I like them in this order: 8880 Supercar, 8466 SUV, 8448 Supercar II. What I didn't like about the 8448 was that it was technically less complex than the one before it. The 8466 returned to the same level of complexity as the 8880, but was (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
