I'll do my part, that's for sure..
The things I'm willing to do for people.

[Dave]

Yep, looking forward to it, don't know why, just something a little different for the shelf.

Man I have been excited for several years when the rumors first started. I even stopped looking for the original online. If knew then how long it was really going to be, I probably would have sprung for one. I am not even sure how long it has really been 4 or 5 years at least.I will snap however if it gets pushed back again.

[Michigan Madman]

Yes.
Can't say I'm a dune buggy fanatic, but I do like the Manx, and ANYTHING related to a VW Beetle is fantastic with me. Bet on me buying a couple.

[jbwelda]

this hasnt been actually issued or made yet has it? i want a couple to join the couple half-built originals i have but i will kinda believe it when i see it!

[Craig Irwin]

Its listed for a January 2012 release.

[Jairus]

I built one as a kid and tossed the cardboard build up. Of course that one is long gone.
then picked up a build up with box at a swap meet about 14 years ago. But looking forward to picking up one of the new ones anyway.

[Tony T]

Yes, I'm in for at least one...they are a part of VW history and are historic unto themselves!

[garryrenfro]

Yep, they're cute lil' babies. I plan on picking up 3-4 over the course of next year.

[Tonioseven]

I want to build at least ONE of them!! Does anyone remember "Wonderbug"?


Similar if not exact. That's partially why I want one to build.

I've been waiting and waiting and waiting and anxiously waiting..... It has been pushed back for a year now and it appears that it finally is going to happen (I hope). We VW fans get no respect... Anyway, I want a case whenever they show up!

[Joe Handley]

I had one back in the day, the model that is . I may buy one just for nostalga sake .............. I would sooner buy something more in line like a Oldsmobile , a Ford sedan and maybe a Chrysler ...................... Ed Shaver

Same here, I'm saving my green for the '50 Olds, '55 300, and the van kits!

One for me until I open it up to examine the parts. Looking for a good VW engine with Empi parts.

[Modelmartin]

I wanted one of these rascals for AGES, then I found the Revell Dunebuggy. Watta DRAG to find out it WASN'T a MANX kit, but a generic dunebuggy body. I found two built ups that I can use for ONE good one, but if them rascals is commin BACK, welp, they just became parts cars!!!! Gonna get one or two of the NEW ones!!!!

George!! The Revell is an EMPI Imp. It isn't generic at all. The Imp was quite cool.

[Draggon]

Been waitin' for this forever. I just could not wrap my mind around 20 bucks plus on ebay for gluebombs. I;ve got that shortened bug body and the Teevee body to put on these, as well as building the oringinal. Whoot whoot, Im stoked! Just placed my pre-order with Model Express!

You will be disapointed, this kit has a chrome 36 HP with old school dual carbs, and the bag o snakes exaust.

[Jon Cole]

The Manx is one of the few kits I can still remember having as a kid. As I recall, it was molded in yellow plastic like the boxart version. Gotta have one again!

[Haubenschild]

When was this kit first released? , i think there might be a vehicle similar to this in an old episode of scooby doo where are you
