Tamiya is Re-releasing the Bruiser!

[HyperMark]

The packing doesn't look as neat as the original. Smaller box this time round?

[McFig]

^^^^^^
Thats what I don't get. I have heard others complaining the box isn't as big.

First off, why does that matter

Second, I got to see it last night in person and the box if pretty big

The kit is so nice. That black frame...cherry. The axles look really good and the lockable diffs are sweet. And the new tire smell...........

It usedto be all about the presentation with their kits back in the day. Now it is less show, save more dough. Unfortunately, these are the times we live in now.

The presentation isn't too bad, the axles and chassis are staring at you when you open the box.

Here's what I saw when I opened it: (Also a comparison in box size to the tundra)

I haven't been doing much with my trucks lately, been working on my heli a lot. Now I pop in here and notice this! Now I really want one! I may need to sell off the heli for it.
