Yeah sorry to hear that Todd. Kind of ironic as that is the only aspect of their company that hasn't let me down.

Time will dictate I guess, probably just start buying locally........🤞🤞

They've been screwing up my normal orders as well. Case in point, Back in October I ordered a Lunch Box Mini and Midnight Pumpkin XB (only one they had) together, with $110 savings using the discount system before it went south. They were both in stock but never shipped. So fast forward a few months and I contacted them about several orders in limbo. That particular order they said they would cancel and I'd have to reorder and they'd honor the discounts. So I did, and then I received them both shortly after. fast forward again, and I just received my first order the other day :facepalm: - they never cancelled it.

So, after sitting on it for a day I decided to make a pitcher of lemonade, rather than make a fuss and return them. After all, they were largely discounted and I could easily sell for profit if I wasn't an idiot. Since I AM an idiot, I decided I can use the Pumpkin body and an M06 chassis I just happen to have purchased for very cheap on Mercari several months ago - couldn't pass it up - and the voila, I've got myself a Lowride Pumpkin! So then I just found a Lunch Box Red edition body on ebay, so I can use the "extra" CW-01 chassis for that project. I figure red metallic paint over chrome Pumpkin wheels, some MCI decals and voila - I've got myself a Red Edition Lunchy! As for the extra Lunch Box Mini, I decided to buy up all the available hop-ups and a set of bearings so I have a pimped out runner. This way I can leave the other one that I have stock. It's amazing what the hobbiest's mind can talk ourselves in to, LOL.

Nice Todd. I have to take back my lunchy to have the vintage pair at home and my rere runner .

I might have a Blue Lunchy on the way as well! I guess now I'm obligated to find a Gold one, lol.

I only have vintage vanessa and cindyrela one, and my runner is the pajero chassis with my pickup lunchy body.
you need the black edition to todd.

Oh don't worry, I picked up the Black Edition months ago, lol.

You must to share a family picture.  Here is what I see when I wake up.

I will when I can, but I still need to paint the yellow body and the Black is still sealed. The Blue is completed (on the way), however the Red body will need paint. Right now I only have the black lunchy body with the custom stickers from MCI and the X-SA Pumpkin on display. Oh man, the new red Pajero is still sealed, too, and I have a white Pajero body on the way LOL.

Too many things to build/finish is a great problem to have! For now, I gotta take this Hotshot over the finish line . . .

My pajero body is gone for a new home with the vintage chassis. 😪 it's a very nice body. And realist

A bit of catch up today. Last week I finished my TA01 rebuild with ball bearings and the original msc. The body and wheels are the rere Celica GT FOUR.
This afternoon I finished my Lunchbox build. Gonna go with one of those crazy paint schemes on the side of the box just to be different. Lol
