I picked one up at my LHS. I've not seen the original however I have to say that this kit is pretty nice I thought it would be like the infini t or stingaree but it's based on a front engine rail chassis and the body is pretty cool looking .The packaging is what got my attention the bottom of the box shows you the contents the sides of the bottom box has digger printed on it the art is just that on the front no words just the picture and it is a pretty sturdy box the decals are in their own plastic as are the three windshields I didn't take pictures because I didn't open the bags yet so if you open yours post some pics.and instead of paying 20-25 dollars for a vintage repop it was only 14.99. if this is an indication of what will be coming from the new amt/mpc we are in for a treat.also I noticed the polar lights speed racer cars are out also.oh yeah there is also a small surprise in the box too but I'll let you discover that yourself.
