  Re: 8458 Silver Champion is incredible!
 
(...) I doubt it. I just did a USPTO trademark search and diddn't find anything obvious for "Super Street". Also, the 8445 was actually recalled from all stores, the 8448 was still sold by TLC stores until supply ran out a few months ago. 8448 was (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) -beg to differ, not in Canada. I can get some if you want) Snip (...) I think that the air spring _is_ the problem. some people have gone through 2-3 sets of them already! James (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: 8458 Silver Champion is incredible!
 
(...) Why would it be pulled from brick & mortar stores, but not online stores? It was in 3 of the 4 stores I just checked. kbkids.com - $44.99 etoys.com - $39.99 toysmart.com - $29.98 -Adam 8^D (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: 8458 Silver Champion is incredible!
 
(...) I have the 8445 indy car, and yes, the spring does break. I had to call into shop@home to order a new one. And I don't think that they are selling it in canada anymore either. I live in vancouver and I haven't seen one on shelves since july (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: 8458 Silver Champion is incredible!
 
(...) I have never seen the 8448 or the Indy storm 8445 in Canada, not even in the Lego Outlet store. The guy at the counter told me you could only get the 8448 through special order. I ordered a 8445 over 8 months ago (at the outlet store) and (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: 8458 Silver Champion is incredible!
 
(...) -if you are meaning the store in St. Jacobs, I picked up my 8445 from the toy store in downtown St. Jacobs (the instructions I got given to get to the outlet there were _funny_, go to St Jacobs, you cannot miss it....). This would have been (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: 8458 Silver Champion is incredible!
 
(...) It may be listed at those stores, but is it orderable? (...) Out of stock - can't order. (...) Hmm. No indication (without an order) of back order or out of stock condition. (...) They're out of business. Steve (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: 8458 Silver Champion is incredible!
 
(...) I don't see where you got this, Adam. kbkids.com doesn't list it (unless I'm missing something), toysmart.com is out of business, and etoys.com (as usual) is totally unresponsive. Does anyone else know: - Why 8445 was recalled? - Where I can (...) (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: 8458 Silver Champion is incredible!
 
(...) Sorry, I never tried adding it to my cart at toysmart, I didn't know they tanked. As far as kbkids, it was there when I looked, but you're right, not today. I just had one in my cart at etoys.com about two minutes ago, and started going (...) (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: 8458 Silver Champion is incredible!
 
(...) No problem. I also found them in stock at toysrus.com for $39.95. For some reason, etoys.com is TOTALLY unresponsive from my current workstation, but I do believe they have it; I just can't get to them. Thanks again for the update, Adam. No (...) (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: 8458 Silver Champion is incredible!
 
(...) I have no Idea why it was recalled "over there":) Here it is readily available, I know my local dealer has a few on the shelve, can't remember the exact price though, but I could find out. Kind regards John Jensen (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
