Lobsterman Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I never understood why the car got less aerodynamic when it went into super pursuit mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks for the replies! Zach, you've bent my arm... i'll get both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Paco Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I have not see KITT or KARR in my local TRU yet. I have been looking all the time and I have never even seen them on the pegs yet. They have been released haven't they?? I want a KITT (non-SPM) but will get both as I know teh non-SPM is not out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMW326 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It looks like I ordered from the wrong place this time. LOL. AFX says they haven't even gotten a shipping notice on their stock of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current SPM KITT and KARR that are out are comic shop/specialty store exclusives, and you won't find those at TRU. The regular KITT will hit TRU sometime in May, according to Zach's last update.

Definitely check with AFX about that, because there's something wonky there. I have not see KITT or KARR in my local TRU yet.

The Vox Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Nice comparison pics Zach. I will say the final product looks even better! The glossy finish is pretty sweet. I have the SPM and I plan on getting the regular KITT in May. Somehow I have become obsessed with mini-vehicles. Early on I wasn't going to go for any MAX or TV/Movie vehicles.. Now I have 3 MAX jets, 3 BSG ships, 3 BTTF Cars and a Knight Rider Car. I don't even play HALO but if I find one of those ATVs on sale, I'll probably have to add that to the collection as well.

Definitely check with AFX about that, because there's something wonky there. Thanks Zach I checked with them two days ago. They said they did not know when they were coming and had not been given notice that they were even shipping yet. Whats funny is they showed KARR as in stock for a few days two weeks ago but now both are showing as preorder. I think someone may have dropped the ball at AFX on this one. Still looking forward to these though. I may contact and see if I can cancel with them and order from somewhere that shows as in stock like Entertainment Earth.

Do so! I loved the first Halo, especially the Warthogs, but even if I didn't, the Minimate Warthog is the most fun thing ever. If I may, I would recommend a pirate ship, as well. Any of the three that are out. So neat. I checked with them two days ago. They said they did not know when they were coming and had not been given notice that they were even shipping yet.

It may have been an error, but definitely give them a chance to correct it, they're good guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Speaking of KITT variations... are you going to make the Un-SPM wih the bright orange pop-up-stoppy-things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Speaking of KITT variations... are you going to make the Un-SPM wih the bright orange pop-up-stoppy-things? I don't think they're planning one with the braking system, but I know they have a few more they want to do. May not be until next year, though.

JMW326 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Well a week later and these are still showing as pre order on AFX. So I contacted them again about when they may be getting these and got this answer. "We should have them in 1-2 weeks. Thank you". (which is the same thing that has been listed on their website for several weeks). HMMM... not really liking this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMW326 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 So I thought that since we are now in May I would give this topic a bump. Anyone know when in May the regular KITT is supposed to hit> I checked both TRU's in my area and nothing of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigertail Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Nope haven't heard anything, been checking my local TRU and nothing. One day you'll walk in and Ta Da!! they'll be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Still looking forward to the "classic" version of KITT. Hot pursuit mode is fun, but I want the legit look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'd still like to find a Hot Pursuit KITT. I only have KARR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMW326 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Zach, any word? May is almost over and no regular KITT in TRU or showing up on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycrumb Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Zach, any word? May is almost over and no regular KITT in TRU or showing up on eBay. He's stated recently that it's all up to TRU - they are waiting to put it out, stated didn't want to ship them during their "slow" sales period. Should be soon, though!

Lobsterman Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Interesting... SPM KITT just went up on TRU.com.... Regular KITT didn't get shelved, did it Zach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I believe it's Entertainment Earth's KITT on there. I'm pretty sure it's EE that sells stuff through TRU.com that TRU doesn't sell. A lot of the Minimate sets and other items are actually through them and you can tell because they're over-priced, never go on sale and don't qualify for free shipping offers.

Lobsterman Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I hope that's true. I'd hate to see a bunch of overstock SPM get dumped at TRU now and have regular KITT get pushed to some theoretical vehicle wave next year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
