how much IS advertising ?
shyp me old mate…BIT behind the times arent we? lol…As we put up at http://www.bitchar-g.co.uk/ the new 3-body sets, one set of 3 bodies each from Lambourghini and Ferrari…october at this stage but BitHed feels more like winter bonus season, end of October or November is the feeling i get…
right now…BOTH ‘buttons’ do nothing…they are aesthetic only…just to make the controller look nice…we can imagine that later one will be for the boosters, the other ? Its a mystery…we shall be asking TOMY at a promo around the 10th of May…what else should we ask? HOPEFULLY (tiuch wood) be getting a sample…wish me luck…
BTW…if you REALLY want one of these machines make sure to arrange it (from wherever you get it) BEFORE their release…once again it appears that TOMY might have underestimated production units and you will be left sitting in the cold waiting for your unit…
ANOTHER tidbit…DOMES are EXTREMELY poular, followed by the porsche, lambo, the 512bb, the Jota and then the fairlady…the gtr and rx7 are struggling but my guess is that TOMY might release these with their two NEW frequencies, whatever theymight be…The ‘murc’ is very popular and i am already recieving requests for these…I have been asked for one each of the 3-body sets also…Its gonna be lots of fun once the ball starts rolling…BitHed…
At this stage we know nothiing about the buttons…obviously ne of them will be used later for booster sets…the other is a dummy at this pint…there to just balance the controller perhaps…No news of boosters at all, which personally i feel means they wont be far away…TOMY tends to NOT tell us about the stuff they are doing now…so to recap…the cars coming that we know about…do not have buttons…lets just call them ‘ergonomical finger-rests’….lol…
blame the translator-NOT the monkey he says…lol…which one am i ? lol…yes the murc is coming…pics as soon as we get them..you know me…if they existed we would have them up…
Gee Im sure I can figure something out…:D
nope sorry mate…not my end of town at all…

I do…I have been known to supply the odd bit here and there…
First Generation shells / bodies WILL FIT on Second Generation chassis and vice versa…We are TRYING to get a sample but TOMY is being very tight lipped about the whole thing…Same as usual…lol…

Well I’d rather you bought from me but here it is anyway 🙂
I will as soon as it is done…still waiting for some confirmations from TOMY, the frequencies and a REAL release date…
They have enlarged the rims and thinned the tires…also the body fits lower on the chassis, ie, they have moved the mounting slots UP…The chassis itself has been deepened, ie, it sits lower to the ground…it looks like the cripple chip has been removed too…One of the whole things with the Super-Car’ movement of the 70’s was the lowness of the cars and their width…at the time Japan was still relatively wide and big and clunky…hence the dream of all the japanese children wanting a ‘super-car’…All those children are now adults and TOMY is betting on the hope that all these parents, now with disposable income, go out and get bits for themselves and their children…Next question? 🙂

Im from new zealand originally mate but dont hold that against me…education brought me here to start with, then women, and then a career. My wife is Japanese and my son is what i call a Jiwi, half japanese and half kiwi…the best of both worlds…i lived in surfers paradise for 2 years and almost died in the pacific ocean near my apartment and almost lost my nose and two teeth in a bar fight there…ahh…those were the days…lol…
My page for the Second Generation bits is almost done…I will forward the link here…Still got a while to go before they are released but gotta be in quick I reckon…Gotta be the first on the block with these fresh puppies !!
Im IN Japan…not really FROM Japan…impreza there isnt a site as such yet…press releases and word of mouth and whispers in the corporate bathroom are all we are going on…TOMY is having a dealers meeting later in April so we should have some more details around the 25th i guess…
But just looking around at the boards here and there it seems that there is ALOT of interest in the new cars…its going to be an interesting day(release day) as we all rush around trying to fill our orders and ship out to our buyers…Of 12 of the new Lambos i have available i have ALREADY locked 7 into pre-orders…I just hope TOMY does their homework and will be able to keep up with demand…Its gonna be fun anyway…
The release date for all TEN new items has AGAIN been pushed back to late June…it seems that TOMY is aiming for the Japanese BONUS season where we all get paid one big lump of two months salary in one go…that is round about the first week of July…
We will try to keep you posted as the details come to hand…I think you will all br happy and surprised with TOMY’s new items…
Rumours and guesses are what we are running on at the moment…TOMY has lots of things in the pipeline including Lupin’s fiat which we know about already but also some other deals with different toy producers here and there…
There is a good number of Japanese made Hotwheels, not copies or ripoffs but licensed from America, called ‘Chara-Wheels’, (pronounced ‘kyara’ as in ‘kyaracter’ as in ‘character’ 🙂 These products are usually a pretty good sign of what MIGHT be coming…This is just a quick look at some of the items available…

(Thanks to the above link for the best shots i could get…)
So the release of Lupin’s Fiat, already a charawheel, and the whole ‘super-hero’ 3-model thing last year, BitHeds educated GUESSTIMATE would be one of the items from charawheels…and they DO do knight rider and the back to the future delorian…as i say…JUST a guessstimate…
Hey boys…I was a little slow getting on the bus for this one…Getting back to the start of this thread…you know me…always willing to satisfy…you DONT want add ons / hop ups, be they performance enhancing or not…you DO want parts from the readyset chassis etc? Is it going to worth my while breaking up a set for parts? As usual all my sales would come with kyosho / miniz branded freebies etc but is it WORTH the time and money to start this up?H And I forget the name of the link i just looked at (draconius?) but we all know BitHed can go cheaper than that…Get back to be with your research results…And if you all decide to bowl over to Tokyo you get the full BitHed Tour Program…you wont need clothes but you WILL need a credit card…?@
We would dave…we would make you suffer slow and long…strip you naked, smear you with margarine and throw you to the hungry puppies…lol…
baby you ARE good…speaking of babies…hows your VERY new son…didnt you name him SMEE ?
Jamie dont worry mate…the NEW Bit sets will blow your mind AND your check book…Forget everything you have seen before and prepare for…
SUPER BIT CHAR-G !!!
I kid you not…Thats TOMY’s name ok…but it is SO easy to be cheesy…
Cheap image ? Not any more…BTW…my new LARGE ausmicro coffe mug from cafepress ROCKS !!
Do we have any link at all for more information on those trucks ? Needed URGENTLY…
Tune up isnt too hard to get…mythos mail me…sorry kids…been unavailable for a while…pretty much back together now though…shypo your next order has gone, details coming soon, the White Box is looking pretty, VERY special BitHed 3.0 and 3.8s coming soon and loking for international dealers, if YOU are all ready to ROCK them I am ready to ROLL !!!
