Got the new West Coast Choppers 1:5 scale today... this thing is SO badass... working brake lines, all painted, highly detailed, etc. - and it's friggin' HUGE!

My wife is gonna shoot me...

wcc 1 5

For size comparison, here it is next to the 18" spidey... (he wants me to open it up so he can ride it... but I don't know yet...)

wcc spidey

Very cool! Got a couple of Harleys myself. Yeah, they're only 1:18 but what the hell... [img]wink.gif[/img]

Looks a bit small for Spidey, I think you should open it and prove me wrong. [img]wink.gif[/img]

I agree with TCM. [img]wink.gif[/img]

As far as how many, I think there are two at this size so far... they just came out. I'm sure they'll make more. I have a bunch of the 1:10 scale ones and 1:18, as well as the 1:32 ones... as well as the cars. It's kinda an obsession... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Here's my "wall:"

And these are some of the 1:10 bikes, and 1:24 cars... and some R/C cars. There's also some R/C choppers (2) I haven't gotten yet, and two other 1:24 cars (well, one wagon, two different paint schemes).

wcc haul

nice collection. I like those, but I think I fell in love with the 1:5 scale. do you know if they're available up here or an online shop that have them?

Found mine at a WalMart today... $59.95 [img]eek.gif[/img] I bit much, but worth it to me. I've seen them online for that much, but the shipping is ungodly (it's huge). Just found out there's this one (Diablo Soft Tail), and the Penny Saved bike (from Motorcycle Mania 3 - the Copper Bike). There's 4 repaints of this one and 3 of the Penny Saved bike. The third release will have two more paints of each.
