Just use alcohol or acetone to remove the tattoos. Drivers are hardly visible inside the VAMP, especially if there's side/top armor on it like the Stinger or VAMP mkII, so it really shouldn't be any kind of issue.

Speaking of other vehicles, would an AWE Striker be the same price as the VAMP? The AWE was a little shorter, but I think they're about the same footprint.

I realize people are just saying what they'd rather have at that price point than more Vamps.. I just don't like sending the very clear signal we're just fine with that price point... I mean I can afford the hobby just fine but I'd prefer for my money to go a little longer when possible.

Agreed.

But when I am elsewhere online I see lots of people very excited to have bigger vehicle be the Hasbro or Mcfarlane one.

I can't speak for everyone, but right now I'm sitting in a room with 4 motorcycles, 2 jeeps, 2 trouble bubbles, 2 ATVs, 1 tank, 1 boat, 1 air chariot, and 1 surface to air missile launcher. Not to mention an attack helicopter and jet on the way. All of them in 1/12 scale.

I am very taken with vehicles. I just don't want 4 versions of the same thing. (shamefully looks at my RAM cycles...)

Space is becoming a very real concern, and I would much rather reserve that space for unique vehicle entries in the line.

Ask Mrs. Fender to let you back into the house. It's too hot to be living in the garage.

Lol, she tolerates my hobby. And hey, they're displayed "tastefully" I swear!

What started as an office / emergency guest bedroom is now a toy room / emergency office, ha.

This is kind of where I'm at with the Rattler and I'm still on the fence. It looks great and all and I'd love to have it, but after shipping and exchange this is going to come to over $500 CAD. That seems like a lot for a toy plane. That is one hell of a collectors tax. I feel like it should actually fly for that much.

Yeah, I think most of us aren't anti-vehicle but just realistic that 1/12 vehicles take up alot of space. Even the smaller vehicles like the Ferret, Air Chariot, HMS, and Trouble Bubble take up a decent chunk of shelving.

I?m laughing because this is my exactly my situation. My wife tolerates my hobbies and the office/ guest bedroom has become the toy room.

Well your first mistake was in getting wives. Imagine all the toys you could be buying if you were single dudes! lol

Until I redesign the room I can?t display the Stinger, Ferret, and HMS. Plus more vehicles eventually on the way. I love the vehicles but already out of room for them.
