And that one is in fact unobtainium. Keun said today it's one that's no longer made because of copyright infringement. The new ones are different enough so that does not apply. He said the body is the only thing worth saving (but he's a real aficianado, so it could be a good starter unit) but it's worth $200 by itself. He also said that you can remove the paint with brake fluid and repaint it.

what are his reasons for the bottom parts being no good? i know nothing about these things.

i've seen the new ones and it looks to me like they went and got permission to use it. it is identical from what i can see. Tamiya America Item #58405 | RC Toyota Land Cruiser 40 - CR01 ignore the price tag, you can find it for about $320.

still expensive, but better than $592. that's why i thought $200 wasn't too bad.
