1/6 scale Herbie wanted.

« on: September 12, 2005, 10:01:53 PM »
Ok I have some pretty good military training and am willing to do vile things for one of these for my kid. Just kidding about the vile things but I will pay a fair price for one. Not ebay prices but cost plus expenses for one?
Please somebody help me or my kid will drive me freakin nuts!

I saw a couple of the 1/18th black Herbies in the RC section at the Walmart in Cleveland off of the Cleveland-Dalton Hwy yesterday. There was a 1/18th orange and white bus there also.

I just happened to have a 1/6 scale Herbie (an "extra" one) riding around in the back of Homer the SuperBus.  I've also got of couple of "extra" 1/6 scale split window buses stacked up in the hallway near my back door.  I can't find any room to put them anywhere else.  All the kids but one have moved out . . . I've only got 5 empty bedrooms to store toys in.  I have a small yard, so building a toy museum out back isn't an option.   :whistle:  Soooooooo . . . I might be convinced to sell one or two of these HUGE VW toys . . . but only to make room for lots of smaller stuff.   8)  :tard:

I think all of the Buses are 49 MHz and the Herbies are 27 MHz . . . so if you want to play with two at once, you have to get a Herbie and a Bus . . . or two of each and switch chassis with one of the Herbies and one of the Buses.  Then you could mix and match 'em anyway you wanted to.  Maybe that's why I bought so many of these.  I've spent more on RC VWs in the last 4 months than I spent on my last engine rebuild for Homer.  A LOT more.  Got out for under $200 on the engine . . . and somehow I've ended up with five 1/6 scale VWs . . . and two or three of the 1/18th scale . . . and three of the little (1/43 ? scale) zip-zap Herbies from Radio Shack.  I think I'm getting better though.  There was a white street racer Herbie, a black street racer Herbie and an orange and white Bus in the 1/18th scale RC cars at Wal-Mart the other day and I didn't even pick them up and look 'em over good.  Left 'em sitting on the shelf where I found them.  Didn't even hide 'em for later!   8)  I'm not really "cured" . . . just broke!  :lol:
