Default Ja-Ru is re-manufacturing the 944 S2 Cab!

OK, It's just in 1/24th scale.. but I was tickled to find two of these at my local Drug Mart! 3.99 a pop, with Pull-Back Power!!!







I suppose I'll give one away at an upcoming Party to be named later..

I know it says that it's 1/24 scale on the box, but that looks more like a 1/36 scale car. How big is it?

That's one very nice Cobalt Blue S2 8) How much would S&H be to The Netherlands? (Postal Code 2991 RK)..

Just kidding...oh well...semi-serious actually

1/36 isn't a very common scale, is it? To me it appears to be smaller than 1/24 indeed...maybe the 1/43 scale?

It's not overly common, but I have a 930, 944 and 959 in that scale. It seems to be one of the preferred scales for the pull-back cars.

Now that you say it...I just realize I have a 1989 White 911 Speedster (Pull back power 8)) which is indeed too small to be 1/24, so must be 1/36 then

It is 4 3/4 inches long.. Sorry I don't have a MM tape measure. It's just a tad bigger than your average compact disk. I bought the only two the store had. It says on the box 1/24, Dream Car, 12 styles. I'll stop in some other Drug Marts in the coming week and see if I find any others.

Under the hood is an absolute joke. It looks like a metalic blue pyramid with a NOS tank next to it. The detail is nil but on the bottom it says Porsche 944. No doubt there!

4-5 inches is about 1/36 scale, so yeah, that'd be my guestimate.

And, just for scale...

Possibly. I'd go and take a pic that shows better scale, but I'm too lazy.

Ok. What's a Drug Mart. I'm new around here and have never heard of it (Do they sell Walls at Wal-Mart?)
Sounds a little shady if you ask me, back in the Chicago south side "drug mart" wasnt a retail operation..

I need one of those.. maybe 20. What's the UPC Dan?
