1995 in music The examples and perspective in this. March 14 – With the release of Me Against the World. Groove Theory. World Groove Trf Rarity Guide.

I was just wondering, after slowly building up my collection of FAB old school RC cars from when I was a child (I currently now have: MArui - Ninja, Galaxy, Samurai!, and Tamiya Hornet, Lunchbox, Monster Beetle!), if there were cars that were for some reason or another, rarer then others? I know my Maruis are all extremely rare seeing as the company no longer make RC cars anymore, but what about the Tamiya ones? Obviously Tamiya now do their re-res so there is always a chance that the car you wanted as a kid but never had, will one day be available to buy and build, but of course its holding out, or trying to get a decent original one! I was looking for example at articles on the old Bigwig. Now there is a car that was a 4WD and had the technigold as standard! Not many Tamiya cars had that motor as standard did they? (The Toyota Celica is another that springs to mind).

One of my friends had one, and it needed that extra power just to get going I think, it was a heavy car yet had special styling even though for me, it always looked a little like a toy car as the shell was not a polycarbonate one! Nonetheless it's got me thinking about it and I though maybe I should try looking for one, yet they just don't seem to be about, which made me think that perhaps this car was a rather rare one? More so than others, after all I didn't see anyone else with one ever again!! So does anyne know if some were/are rarer than others, and what the state of play is i.e. If there is a list or just hearsay as to what are harder to get hold of than others, or perhaps even stats from Tamiya themselves on how many of each specific kit number were ever made, I guess that would be a great indication hey.

There is point of sale numbers Vs surviving examples to consider. Pragmatica Della Comunicazione Umana Ebook Readers. Oodles would of been sold, but now, how many are stock? (opposed to the only good bits, the axles being used for scale 4x4 or crawling applications and the rest discarded) The Audi Quatro - Would of sold plenty, but how many have survived? Fragility and truly bazzaro handling is never a good thing. The Opel Accona - Same problems as above, but who in the early 80's wanted an Opel when you can get an Audi?

The ORV Lancia - 037 - I think there is one in the showrooms, complete that is. The Street Devil (or what ever it was) It didn't even make it into the guide book, as far as I know because it's production run was so short. Just some more candidates for title. Fair enough call! So rare most of us forgot they existed! Or could I dare say the TRF 410, the dual belt buggy that appeared at the 93 (or was it 95 ) IFMAR's?

I have never seen a photo, but in the articles I've read it's designated as what Tamiya entered in 4WD. And lets not forget the TRF211X. I think the rarest Tamiya classics are the ones that never made production. Cars that we might not know about, or in some cases, we do.
