Now first off, I enjoy the view of the ads once in a while but is Fly wasting their time and money on these cars? Is anybody buying them? It's OK if you
are but we've had next to NO calls at all on these. Even the 917k long tail that normally sells out, I've not had any interest. Just wondering.

I like the cars, but not the cost. If the price was around $50 maybe.

Good question. I only know of one racer that has collected them all so far, but no one else I know of is getting them, or at least trying for the entire
series.

are still other manufactures still selling cars for under $40. In todays economy, Fly just doesnt work for me anymore.

I have to go along with the rest of the guys, they're just a little pricey.
I have gotten a few but off eBay for $55 shipped.

Anyone can restore a classic car, but it takes a real Hotrodder to cut one up and make it cool!

I have no interest in them. Give me a racing livery, something with numbers and sponsor logos, even a fake racing livery would interest me more. If I feel like
looking at an image of a beautiful woman the hood of my slot car seems like the last place I would care to look.

I think Playboy chicks are very nice and I thoroughly enjoy slot cars, but the combination of the two as in the Fly slot cars series feels strange to me, and a
little embarrasing. There was a time when some of the R/C model airplane magazines had bikini chicks on the cover of every issue, and I could never get used to
that either.
It´s not that I´m prude, I just don´t like it, and I can see how this stuff might provoke wives & girl friends, with some justification. Maybe I´m old-fashioned...

Give me real liverys -these were just a grab for money off of collectors-and it may have even missed them!!!

Can't buy these cars, I've got kids in the house, how would that look if Dad had these. I think Fly makes wonderful cars and I plan on buying this next
week some of them, but these cars are on the BIG NO list, it will be a niche type car, maybe for a single man, or a guy with a progressive wife.
