I don't remember an fj40 in the movie, where can you buy the toy?

original book used 62 series for the electric rigs that ran on tracks (exploders in the movie)

cruiser toys, like the real thing, have a higher sale value than jeeps ;)

Technically Michael Crichton called for Land Cruisers in the book. The studio chose Explorers instead obviously. Cheaper to throw them off a bridge and into a tree...

Anyone watch the initial hour of Zoo last night on the tube? Lots of old Defenders in Africa and one that lost the engine just at the wrong time. Probably why they used Rovers instead of Cruisers!

You are such a nut, Mike. That's cool. Or should I say warm?

Nice. Will you be assembling it, or just keeping it in the box?

I may build one and keep another in the box;)

It needs some work to make it stock. Silly thing has coil springs so Justin said I need the leaf spring conversion now.

200 series getting some love - do you have them all stacked up in your shrine room or are they piled in a storage room? :hill:

If you haven't signed up and supported this, get on it!

Gabe only needs 10,000 votes to make this a reality. TLCA and IH8MUD have it posted to FB and Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame (@donttrythis) retweeted the link to his million plus followers.

The insurance company asked that I move them offsite to a secure and climate controlled storage facility. I did keep all the duplicates at home so I have something to play with.
