The Bandai Ent-E is still avialable at hlj.com. U can order for him. I'm surprised that hlj is not selling the the Bandai NX-01 anymore.... Maybe u took the last NX-01 that they had..Not sure what the next model by Bandai wld be... It could be the Ent-D... hmmm.. Click on my signature below to view pics of my collection, that of course also includes Knight Rider... BTW, I added ur contact in my MSN....
Back to Knight Rider. It appears that KARR has a 1-tv dash instead of 2. KARR is suppose to have a 2-tv dash. But only a minor mistake from Aoshima. Is KITT's dash 1-tv as well? What is the size of the batteries for the scanner? And how do u activate it? Is there a button somewhere?

They do sell the NX-01, its just that it seems to sell out faster than the others. Everytime NX-01 comes back in stock, it goes back out of stock.
Looking at your pics, ah you got an MP-prime aswell, dude rocks I've got to start adding some more binaltech TF's to my army , only got smokescreen so far.
Yeah, both are one-monitor dashes. One-monitor dashes are unusual in KR models so its abit of a treat to get KARR aswell in One monitor....even though its not right.
The batteries are those tiny watch size ones. The car has a switch underneath the car which attaches to a switch on the base. So you can turn the scanner on/off without needing to take the car off the base.
See you on msn, whenever possible.....got to work to get money for these collection hobbies

Ya..You're right, this is perhaps the only die-cast model of KITT and KARR that features 1-tv dash. So this version of KITT was based from season 3 and 4 of the series. The corgi KITT that I have has a 2-tv dash.
I'm still waiting to get mine.... First it was Sarfraz that was waiting for his KITT and KARR, now that he has received his....Its my turn to wait before i can receive mine...

...I was actually thinking just that. How many people actually have these cars?......MAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Seriously though, these cars are gonna be hard to come by for the moment. It'll take some time before they filter through to ebay as I don't think Aoshima has made that many....for the moment.
Sarfraz...off to feel smug

Yep Neil. I think my review hinted at that. Aoshima have so far made:
2x mini-z KR ready to run sets
Knight Truck
2x KR min-z shell set
2x baby KR RC cars (really small deformed)
..and now 2x 1:43 KR cars
Thats amazing considering they have only had the license for a couple of years.
Oh, just noticed they have started to filter onto ebay...didn't lose any money even when considering I buyed customs charges.

...I actually have bought every single Aoshima KR merchandise. I'm poorer and happier for it
I think these 1:43 cars are their best work, but they always seem to come up with the goods. Shame we don't have more companies like Aoshima who realise that money can be made from KR as long as the product is of a high quality. Aoshima only make these products for the Eastern Asia market. Just imagine if a large company got the rights to import Aoshima products to western countries? eg like Hasbro's relationship with Takara.

Yeah...Aoshima would sure make loads of money.....
Anyways, I still haven't gotten mine yet... It can get really frustrating at times.. I'm still studying, so I can't have a credit card. If I had, i wld have ordered it from hlj already.... Now i have to wait..... I keep asking myself: Will I ever get it?

Chill, all in good time....its not like the postman is holding it hostage ...like mine was. hlj.com should consider UPS or DHL. Clearance fees are smaller and I would get a better service than Parcel "crappy" force.
I'm not sure how it is in your country but in the UK, even when I was studying for my degree I had a credit card....since I was about 20 I think. I purposely got a card with a low limit, that way I never spent more than I could afford.

I'm from Singapore. Here in Singapore, anyone not employed cannot have a credit card. I'm still studying and working only part-time. It ain't good enough...
I shd try find out more abt this, maybe its possible..I'm not too sure...
But right now..my main problem is getting my hands on this KITT and KARR..... I really want them!!!!!!!!!!!

Recieved !
I received both KITT and KARR yesterday. I'm happy with the over all detail, however the LEDs in the scanners need to be adjusted some.
At least I found out what that black string in the back of the two cars are for.
