There was the problem with the air spring, but that was fixed right away.
I can't believe that would do it.

I think that the air spring _is_ the problem.  some people have gone through
2-3 sets of them already!

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 last year.

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 haven't got it yet. Do you think I should still wait? I can't
believe that they didn't sell them at 7-11 stores, that's how popular I think
they would have been. I just love mine.
I got mine from e-bay (8445) and from my brother (8448).  Thank-You David. I'm
looking forward to the Silver Champion but I'm going to wait to see if this
one comes out in the stores here first.
