I'm into bicycles and RC's. I'd never leave that shop if I found it.

I'm so happy to see this channel going from strength to strength. I smile each and everytime I watch it not only for the content but how it is so genuinely put over. Much love always from the UK

Way to go Glenn! It’s refreshing to see unique modern vintage-based model releases like this “Supreme Hornet”, finding their way to your channel. 👍

I remember seeing those before. I always thought that the flames would be pre-printed on the body and you'd only have little stickers to do. Those huge stickers are going to be a pain to get right. Good luck Glenn, I'm sure you'll do a lovely job!

My two favorite hobbies under one roof what a fantastic idea. Thank you Tamiya Legends for such a fun Saturday morning.

Wow how I wish I had an RC store like that here where I live in Australia. Cheers for providing the car so we can all enjoy the footage Jason!

Definitely a different one. Looking forward to seeing it complete.

Thanks for the background and perspective. Looking forward to the build.

1st time I seen this kit I always loved the hornet. So seeing this kit must say it looks so cool! Can see why this would end up being a collectable kit if it was a limited series. That being said I would get the standard kit so I could run it! Great job

Top stuff from your pal Jason 👍 Did not know alot about that kit...now I do.

Great video Glenn. Really good to hear the history behind it and I’m looking forward to seeing the build. There’s just something a big magical about hoppers and hornets for me and this one looks very interesting. Keep dribbling on! 👍👍

Nice! Just found out Pedals is 16 miles away from me. Who would have known. Thanks!!!!

Great opportunity to introduce people to the hobby! Brilliant kit, my friend. Thank you for the video!

Thank you 🙏 so much for the shout out Glenn. Hornets have a special place in my collection and I am glad you have that one now 🎉

Bikes and RC in the same place !!! Heaven.

Tamiya should have done complete packages like this back in the golden era. It would have saved on the headache of deciding what radio gear to start with.

Great video, I was a fan from when it was released I even thought price of $300 wasn’t bad considering the hornet is around $150 and this was packaged with radio gear. Truly just to collect would never run it but could never find one all sold out right away.

I was lucky enough to have had all the hornet variations on one long shelf,including the tamtech as well as the miniatures at one point, then like we all do I gave up on the collection and sold it all . I bought the supreme as body and wheels and the tyre writing was in yellow 🤔 . Really hope tamiya do another colour variant of the hornet again including different colour plastics. Great to see one in your collection Glenn.

Very cool! Love the decals too!

Great looking Hornet and awesome model to have in the collection and on display. Loving the dribble, keep it coming! 💯 💪🤘👌👍

I'd seen them listed but never knew the history. Enjoyed hearing it Glenn. The history makes it a very cool kit in my opinion.

I love the Hornet Supreme Edition I’ve had a couple of them I thought they were pretty cool, maybe not worth the price tag though , but I love the Watanabe hornet the Black edition grasshopper etc. when there freshly built they look superb. Oddly I’ve still got the radio get. Very cool and I could be tempted again in the future . Ace vid

I really like it! Looks great. It's definitely one for the collectors, I can see it appreciating in value. If I owned it I would keep it nib but I totally understand why you are building it and I'm looking forward to seeing it. Good luck with those decals!

That's a cool Hornet and have to say never heard of this version. Good luck with the decals as they look tricky. You are right for RC runners pointless over the stock kit.

I’m in CA, I hope to visit sometime. Thanks for the great videos. I had a Hot Shot 2 back in the day 😎

Never heard of this Hornet 'Supreme' edition. Amazing, love it 👍

Hi can you still buy main battery pack to fit original hornet rc cars as I’ve owned one since they first came out many years ago and thought it might be fun for my youngest?

Never heard of it..... Cheers my friend. Gauranga 🙏

I've never seen that one. But I'm not from CA. Considering what Tamiya has done with the Clod, I think it's neat. Like you said, great for collecting. Love the flame look on black.

Brilliant kit 😎. Like the new intro

Good morning Glen!! Soapy water method for the decals!! It works and I swear by it!! I refuse to do it any other way!! Should look mean with all the flames!! Thanks buddy!! I wonder if MCI does the decals for it…. Have something in mind for the decals!!! 😅

I love your wall treatment!!,,.,

I'm excited to see the finished buggy ! 😎👍

I like it but not sure I’d pay that . Looking forward to your build 👍😊

Very cool! I wish Tamiya would reissue some hard to find parts. I have 2 Falcons that are complete except for that darn speed control resistor.

Great video as always ! Good info !

I use the Expec GT with my Db01 and Avante…two more boxed sets for other kits ….works s treat 👍

If anyone likes the design, MCI Racing does a copy of the sticker set to use on any Hornet.

Got to use the water technique on those huge decals. Good luck!👍😊

I agree and I think it is more of a collector car than anything. Much like the Wantanabe "cow car" is now. When that came out I laughed and thought who in the world would want that thing but now I really want that thing!!! I do like the Supreme version but i could not justify spending that much money on one. Both of those kits are just ones that got away for me and I enjoy seeing them but would not spend the silly money people are trying to sell them for. There are just too many other cool vintage kits to get! I am looking forward to seeing it all done up and I am sure those flame decals are going to be nerve wracking to put on!

Looks really cool and the box looks beautiful mate 😎😎🏁🏁

Looks very cool love the flames like the fact that you get the radio

Another great video and review. And example of Tamiya product placement, I wonder if it was one person in the store (with significant persuasion) who lived Tamiya that ordered that or if Tamiya approached them. As for your dribble and our liking of it.... well, no comment. 🤣🤣

Cool that's in my hometown on Riverside California by the plaza passed by the place all the time

Glenn, Thanks for this video. From the perspective of another 1980s kid in the US, north east CT, body art controversy is not Tamiya. Tamiya’s body box art has always been 💯% awesome, inspirational… & optional. Tamiya’s guide books celebrated personalized body art as did magazines in the 1980s without judgment.

Soapy water for those decals! Looking forward to seeing it finished. As a shelf queen I really like it. Hate the chassis as a runner though, people always trying to add hop ups to it thinking it will help performance, you can't polish a turd :)

It's certainly not my cup of tea Glenn. I had no idea who or what Supreme are, so it was of no interest to me. Funnily enough I thought the Jun Watanabe Hornet was a travesty when it first came out. All these years later....I kinda like it.

I had seen this Hornet before but to be honest I thought it was supposed to be a top of the range Hornet 😆 I had no idea it's from a store, always thought it was an all out Tamiya kit for the masses.. Definitely one for the collector but I find myself wanting one also 😁.. Great one for your collection 👌

Something that always puzzled me is that strange rear wheels suspension the Hornet has, along with the Grasshopper and its sequel. I'd love to hear your opinion on it, how it works (or doesn't work), and why Tamiya would create such a strange type of chassi. There's no real vehicle besides scooters that has the motor mounted to the rear axle like that, and scooters have only two wheels. Come to think of it, it all started with the Grasshopper.

Hey Glenn is the grey edition clod buster available in your area? It is only available through horizon hobby here in the USA, Supposedly only available in the USA.

Jason is a great guy and his shop is awsome..i got one of my blockhead wild ones from him...good dude..if your in so cal go see him

I want one. Totally missed this. Did get the grey clod though.

What a unique bloody cool set✊🏾✊🏾🤙🏿🤙🏿

I really loved the original Hornet, and the GrassHopper, proper classic models.

Oh mate, the ending.. 🤣😂🤣😂

this is killer. going to be a badass build.

Supreme is primarily a street wear clothing company. They're big on limited editions of everything. When their new clothing line comes out for a season it sells out immediately. 90% of what is bought is immediately listed for double or triple retail price on eBay. The entire brand exists to create and foster hype among its fans (15 year old rich kids lol). The people that bought these Supreme Hornets bought them specifically to flip for a profit on eBay.

I seriously need to get up to speed with Tamiya RC. Slowly but surely getting back into it😁

Think I will buy a regular Hornet and buy the decals from MCI. I do like the flames. But the odd bit I'm not into those true flames on real cars. I'll stick to old Hot Rod style flames for that. I still have my vintage Hornet I got in early 90s, that has been resting on the shelf for years. Needs to be taken out after I got hold of some wheels and tires. And I still want to a neon one like you did a while ago. I love that one!

Orange or copper aluminium wheel nut would look awesome

I’m also into bicycles and RCs 😂 must be a common combo id love to go in that shop awesome love the states to 👍🚴🤩🏅

I thought it was going to be a TD4 Super Avante when you turned the box around 😂

I think ALL Tamiya RC Kits are collectable. I am a Tamiya RC geek and constantly buying the kits that interest me. This kit does peak my interest for sure.

Love the Tamiya Hornet, There awesome fun. Tough as nails.

Great video Glenn I understand it but i think I will sit on the fence with that one 🤔

That's a verry cool version of the car. I love it more then the Jun Watanabe version. ❤

it's prounced june wa-tan-na-bee and yes the standard hornet kit has a sticker on the box for the ESC good luck with those decals !!

I didn't know about this kit I might try to get one.

It’s very collectable I think because there’s only 12 or so Supreme outlets around the world so there couldn’t have been to many produced. However as you say Glenn it’s only of interest to the true collector. Regardless it’s a great looking colour scheme so it will be fantastic on the shelf.

Best Dribbler ever, haha Cheers mate from this Aussie in China!

In my opinion, the graphics make it much more interesting than the standard Hornet. The box art is classic Tamiya perfection!

I wonder why, Tamiya did a vintage Hornet for the Supreme brand? The DT03, TT02b or something in their modern range, mite have been better for the Supreme buyer. Either way, it a cool collectible 😎

Glenn, that's definitely NOT a runner! I wouldn't have one, but that's just me. I'm operating on a genuine shoestring... There's no way a could fathom such A purchase - bearings or not. (And WHY can't Tamiya FINALLY include Bearings in their Kits!!??) 😠😠😠 I believe ANYONE would pay an extra $5 bucks, to not have to always buy Bearings separately. I've actually been subbed to you for over 5 years, on my old Channel. Always love your ramblings, builds and amazing stuff! 👍👍

Buyers of supreme clothing are big collectors of anything supreme, so it makes sense they released it only for supreme fans, the idea that, its part of the supreme brand. Its a cool collab.

Glenn you can buy the decal sheets on MCI so if you weren't bothered about the box a standard hornet and the decals would be exactly the same and much cheaper

I didn't know this car until your video. I like the design but I wouldn't pay this money for a decal set, black rims and a radio I don't need. So a rere might be cool.

Let's try that name again Glenn... say it like what-un-are-bee and you are there. :-) The Hornet was my first RC kit when I was young and I was very disappointed. I thought it should have put Tamiya out of business it was so bad to drive and had such poor dynamics. Shows you what I knew. I then had the Fox which was a little bit better. I was then lucky enough to get a Kyosho Salute after doing paper round after paper round and I know we can't compare 4wd and 2wd but just with materials, engineering, and plastics it was leaps and bounds ahead. So much so I still have it.

A supreme edition Arrma would sell like crazy especially now when a lot more people are into rc’s!

🔥

Shout out Otley modelsport ...my fav rc shop ...from a bradford boy

I almost thought it was a Falcon when the box turned and the colors hit my eyes.

Just been checking them out not one for less than £350 uk I like but it's way to expensive like you said if you're not into collecting and just like using RC cars just buy the regular one and save a load of money

Tamiya could go into business with tampax and l would still want it lol, fantastic Glenn I love the Supreme version its as cool as hell and will look killer on display! I predict these being absolute mega gold in the future! Absolutely love this and very jealous lol can't wait to see this build and on display in your super hobby room! Very special buggy in my opinion! Yeah l get that's its just a different decal set and wheels and box really but man Supreme indeed!😉👍 Great stuff Glenn 👍

I think I’m more interested in Pedals than I am about a Tamiya kit that was released solely for “Hotboiz”. I’m not against Supreme at all but the hype surrounding them seems… strange and no one can really seem to define what it is they do and why these “collaborations” exist in the first place. Plus, most of the stuff they sell is bought up solely to resell like those weird Supreme Oreos that went for $100k on eBay. Yes, $100,000. For broken, stale crumbles bought from Supreme’s physical retail store. As a Tamiya fan, the only thing wrong with this release was that it was sold to people that are about following Supreme, not Tamiya and it’s genuinely sad.

In Canada the font used for supreme is the same as the font used by Petrol Canada on their pumps for supreme fuel.

When you kept saying ready to run, I thought you meant it was already built and painted. I've got a chrome Hornet, that'll do me.

I don't mind The Hornet Supreme, even though it's dumb that guys pay stupid money for em. I think the Super Avante TD4 is kind of offensive to guys who love the original Avante. Everyone gets to buy whatever they want with their own money, and that is that. Thanks for another cool video, Glenn.

Great video I personally think she’s a shelf queen and for a collection not a runner? You made me laugh about dribbling great stuff 👍👍

I always think more than merrier on the variations of all their kits.

Great dribble!!!

Keith lemon of the rc world and I mean that in a good way love the videos

I have it and it's awsome, easily as collectable as the Watanabe version and more so than the black chrome one but, hardly anyone at the moment has realised that which, is exactly the same as what happened with the Watanabe and soon the black chrome. I've said it a few times in post on the legends page. This version and the Watanabe are easily the rarest most collectable ones, there's still more vintage cars for sale than either of them.

Can you say something about Marui RC Cars? If you haven‘t already of course. I had a Ninja as a Kid but of course it couldn‘t hold up with the better kyosho‘s and Tamyia cars. Maybe also because most kids also had higher specced tuning motors than me. I still liked the quality and the look of the car. If i once find one i might build it as a shelf queen, just because of the memories. I took the torsion bars and the front diff out of the car and run it as a rwd. I had better steering if i remember right. But back then i didn‘t really race it other than on parking lots, where we built jumps and crashed some parts and then had to wait for weeks/months for the spare parts. Then immediately crashed them again. I‘m more than 30 years older and i think about joining a race club (or go have a talk) in the area and build myself a real brace buggy 1/10 or 1/8. i don‘t know where to start when deciding what to buy… So i enjoy watching your channel a loz. It brings back the memories of when these cars all were real hot and new and something you‘ve never seen before. As i have once seen a kyosho inferno and early schumacher i thought they are from space. Greetings from Switzerland

Those didn't sell well here in the states with many of them being sold at or below the cost of a normal hornet. I picked one up for $150. I wanted the Metallic Hornet but this was sitting there for less money so I picked it up. I did find a metallic hornet later for less and bought that. I have seen these posted for sale for $700 and people were buying them. I still think the JUN Hornet was the most controversial but I still love it.

Controversial would be a re-release of the Blazing Blazer or the Toyota Hilux 4x4. The ones that started the multi speed transmissions in RC!👍

I think it's super cool that they released a special edition Hornet like that

I never knew it existed. It is a very cool thing

Like your videos what you think about tamiya tb evaluation limited edition

We’ve been gifted many times. I never know how to truly thank those who have donated to us. I’ve never seen this hornet.. must be a rare one
