OFFICIAL 18th ISSUE KUSTOMCITY® DRAG BUS PHOTOS
I’m going NUTS over the PINK, I should say HOT PINK! Over 4 years ago, we tried to hit this color, but they just couldn’t get the correct hue, and previous colors tend to be rosey pink to reddish salmon. Just couldn’t nail it. So the other day when after seeing it in person, it is sooo HOT PINK! Yes, I was happy and so the pink has to be my fav, but then again, the…..lol.

While pink is sweet, I am gonna have to go with red, season wise its the most fitting.
Go with red bottom green top, two tone like the green just flip it and use red and green and you got a winner, season wise.
That black gold looks smokin too, Almost carbonish. On the blue if you threw some chrome rims on it, it would outpace the pink, however pink as it is, in the scale of 1 to 7 gets 2, for 2nd, red is 1st.
Of course, any I get, I will be lovin.

Red gets my vote, for true Christmas colors. It just makes me think of all my childhood dreams. Now when it comes to custom Cool it goes to Blue for me. Reminds me of the color of frozen ice. All those years of skating on the lakes of Michigan.
Thanks again Dave & crew for making those enjoyable toys

O.K., I think I have finally decided.
For the reg. set, I like the green one.
The chase versions, I like the pink one, and the super chase, I like the black one, then of course I am sure the mystery chase will be fantastic as well.

I just knew the mystery chase was going to be silver chrome, FANTASTIC, that is now my second fave, after the black gold.
Great looking set.

Hi dave. It was a super idea selling off the chase cars for the X-mas ones. How about doing the same for the big tows if you have any left? I started collecting just after that issue and missed out on the master set and would love to get my hands on the chase ones.Please?
