Jazzinc 1/6 Batmobile

[Jim K, Bat fan]

My wife is telling me to go for it! What to do? lol

If your wife is OK with it...what are you waiting for???

[Ben Bentley]

I missed out and got on the wishlist and was just contacted today asking if I want one?
Can anybody talk me out of it before I spend all of this cold hard cash for a toy? My wife is telling me to go for it! What to do? lol

I have until this Friday to get this offer and I'm leaning towards yes!

I'm in Texas. Does anybody know what shipping cost would be?

Do it! Do it! Do it!

…but then again… do it!

They’re already selling for double the shelf price on eBay if you get buyers remorse.

Shipping is 245.00

And don't forget another import tariff - based on the value they declare on the customs form.

Guys I appreciate the help but I decided I needed to pass on it. I bet it's 100% worth the money and I would have loved and cared for it but im feeling overwhelmed with my collection and lack of room.

I'm going to need to set up a playdate with one of you lucky collectors. I bet if I had seen one on person that I wouldn't have passed.

Randy,
Or you would start a rotation. 90% of these will be in storage

I've been looking at ways to elevate the car, that is keep if off the wheels when displayed. Hoping to have some time to myself over the holidays, but I did find these

Cox Baja Bug


Cox Dune Buggy


Probably need one on both sides and these are different, but a clever way of eliminating flatspots on your Cox vehicle (I stored mine upside down).

Anyone else find anything like this. Those Mickey Thompson tires will flatten over time.

Hey Lou! Just get basic set of Lego type blocks at the local "Dollar Store", preferably in black and build up 4 sets of lift blocks. Basically You make plastic cinder blocks like thieves do whilst boosting tires! I hope that helps.

Cheers!

[Lou Szabo]

Larry now that’s a good idea.
And here I was gonna go all erector set

Aparrently in the 1/10 scale RC set, these lifts are popular

[Larry A.]

Hey Lou! I just had an idea: The Batmobile up on concrete ( Lego) blocks with miniatures of kids "boosting the Batmobiles wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a silly idea!

[Lou Szabo]

Holy Jason Todd

[AndyFish]

Just curious-- why don't you want the wheels touching the ground? Keep it from rolling? Tire wear? Inquiring minds want to know.

EDIT: AND I answered my own question by going back through the thread-- flat spots. Gotcha. See how easy it is to read?

[Lou Szabo]

Andy,
You are right on. I was so bummed as a kid that my Baja Bug eventually flattened its wheels
