Die cast Grenadier

[dwoody]

Hi everyone! I've started my ownership experience by buying the fantastic die cast model! Does everyone get one of these when they buy the real thing? It's very well made and accurate. Everything works except for the hood/bonnet, which is very reluctant to open to reveal the amazing BMW straight 6 engine. Any owners of the model have the same experience?

Yep, have not dared to open the bonnet as I am not sure it will w/o breaking!

I was waiting for the RHD version....

Me too! If I summon the courage to force it I will post pictures of the result!

They sell them at the dealerships.

Anyone know if/where you can buy a die cast model Grenadier?

They stopped selling them off the main website. Dealers have any? I guess they have become uber collectible.
You could ring China. I'm surprised nobody has a 1/43 scale model out yet.

From what I’ve been told they’re rebooting the merchandise site. Hopefully they’ll be available again. They are pretty cool if that’s your thing.

Excellent! I meant to pick up a snood, you know it gets quite chilly when I'm wingsuiting in winter.
A magic mushroom snood would suit me perfectly!

It.is crazy that they still don't have an online store. I spoke to Rachel with Ineos in Moab, she said they want to get it right, not just throw a generic company store together. Meanwhile, to get a ball cap I have to order it from China.

I shudder to thinkl what a ball cap is.
A snood for your 2 veg?

No.. No.. the boys have to swing freely, ventilation and all that... I meant more of a baseball cap, you know.. no hat, no play.
