Good on them! I hope it sells out quickly.

Then they can work on a reissue of XY HO’s.

Cool in theory, not too sure who's going to buy one, let alone seeing 150 of them selling.
The hardcore performance crew will already be blasting through the forests in a Motorsport tools (MST) car assuming these aren't an MST shell anyway.
The classic or historic enthusiast will be buying something like these:

Ex Works BDG powered.
https://www.my105.com/search/details...=SEARCH_RESULT

Number 11 of the 25 Homologation specials.
https://www.my105.com/search/details...=SEARCH_RESULT

And those are just a couple of high calibre cars available locally let alone world wide. In all cases the new owners will be pocketing the change to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars aswell.

Very nice, but I think they could have done better than using the large combo type truck LED's out back.
