For our 26th wedding anniversary, my wife, Vicki, got me one of those Kyoshi 1/18 scale Panteras. I was excited to open it, but when I did I found it to be pretty trashed. The box looked perfect, but inside the box, the car had a broken antenna, damaged headlight mechanism (one headlight was floating around loose in the box), broken sway bar, broken exhaust, and the left, back wheel was dangling by a spring.<br>
<br>
I hope I can get a intact replacement from Amazon.<br>

>>>That is a common experience. They got the design of the car all right, and the design of the packaging all wrong. Unfortunately these are a very limited item and they are probably sold out.<br>

Time to dust off your plastic model-building skills to try to salvage it. :<(<br>
