I have a box of slot cars from about 10 years ago. But if I recall, they're not ...were they called "womps"?. Don't remember, but they're all international 15 and 27 cars??? I barely recall their classification. I believe I also have a 7. I DO remember spending a LOT of money (well not by Viper standards) and a LOT of time building motors, frames and bodies and cutting armatures. That memory just came out of nowhere!

I "collect" older 1/24 scale slot cars. This looks like a 1/32(?). The companies "FLY" and Carrera" come to mind as current makers of scale-accurate slot cars, especially in the 1/32 scale (there are a lot of choices in this scale, MANY subjects have been replicated, including many variaties of VIPER).

Jason..this is a special edition put out by Fly..they have about 3-4 special (different) boxed vipers like this and about another 20-30 in the regular plastic packages...they are readily found on eBay or if you want I can put you in touch with a guy in Germany I get mine from......
There is one FLY Viper (Pace Car) that is so rare..it goes for $600-$1000!!! YIKES!!

I have about a 1/2 dozen so far and they look really nice. The 1/32 scale is a bit on the small side, however they do have great graphics.

I should have another 20 being delivered this week. The best way to get a good deal is to find a dealer and work a package. Ebay has some, but they seam to be a little on the high end of the price scale.

If you purchase S-200 it comes with a book that list all the vipers in it. The s-200 is numbered up to 4000. Here one of the many s-200 for sale on ebay.....

Vipernut, let me know if you come across a E-2? I still need one.

Yeah....CODY......I STILL need that one too..(so I'd have to find 2...one for me and one for you)....maybe we could work a deal. with someone for 2??!!....how much would you spend?) ....I think I have the rest of the Flys......they are so cool!! .....Did ya see the E2 on EBAY go for about $660......not a bad price..all things considered...
I might have bid more BUT I'd just won the Mattel Birthday Viper and that tapped out my resources ...(for awhile ; ) !)
If you've got 20 coming all at once....you must have gotten a great deal.....how much did ya pay?? ALSO does THAT guy have an extra E2 or 2??!!

Ya, I saw the E2 on ebay.

My dealer has 1 E2, but he still won't sell it.

The package deal was way cheaper than buying them piece by piece, but it takes the fun out of looking for them 1 at a time.
