  Guys,
  
  you will not beleive it, today I saw for sale TOMY Compact Char-G’s at Kmart in Southland for $49!!! 😯
  
  So I bought one:approve:.
  
  They have both the Nissan Skyline GTR and Honda S2000, both in 40Mhz and 27Mhz. Nissan was either blue or white (for either 40 for 27Mhz). The Honda was either grey or yellow (for either 40 for 27Mhz).
  
  This has got to be the cheapest price for original Bits in Australia.
  
  Again I can’t believe this is happening. They were stuck on a shelf near all the hotwheels crap.
  
  Incidently Hotwheels have there own version of bits out there (going on sale for $19 at the ‘mo, down from $25 a fornight ago). The bigggest change is the fact that the battery is mounted lengthwise on the chassis. You can get them optioned with either a fast motor, tourqey gearing, longer run time, but the controller looks quite crappy. A design that I haven’t seen anywhere else in cloneland.

  the hotwheels are like the tamiya mini 4wd’s right.. you can’t steer them or anything, they need to run on a track or something.. am i right? anyway i live in WA and have never seen any compact char-g’s at any k-mart stores so far 🙁

  I have seen them in Kmart, Big W, Toys R Us and also Toyworld. They are all around the same price, Toyworld and Toys R Us maybe a few extra dollars.

  got my first Compact Char-G at Kmart last year, about 5 months ago now, $48 or so. The Hot Wheels KPH/MPH set is a VERY useful source of 2.6 motor, anodized heat sink and sticky orange rear tyres. Surgery on the chassis will get you a new internal battery too. Not bad for under $30:smiley2:

  i see… those are kinda fun to play with too.. they have special tracks for it.. it’s like a mini sized tamiya 4wd.. which were so fun to play with back in the old days… and plus those bit racers can run for quite some time… considering you charge it for about 45 seconds or so.. can’t remember
