Modern Buddy

Swung by a local hobby shop today to see if they had any pinstriping brushes... and they did... and they were
EXPENSIVE AS CRAP! Anyways, I was digging through their selection of mini figures and Lo and behold I
came across some awesome little scooters! They had 2 Honda Super Cubs, 2 Honda Expresses and 1 Fuji
Rabbit Superflow! I got one of the Super cubs and the Superflow and I will probably go back and dig through
their stuff more (my mom was with me and she was getting bored). I'm so excited, it's like my 2 favorite things,
action figures and scooters, COMBINED!!!!

Anyways, Took some pictures... I'll try to get less-blurry ones when I have better lighting.

that is supercool!

also, we have the same laptop

Yay! I love mine so far only problem is the dang power cord!

I looked online and turns out it is a common problem w/ hp laptops... the power cord connection is only held in place by a tiny piece
of solder or something like that. It's been bumped around a lot since it stays on the coffee table and I'm not the only one who uses it.
It powers down if you bump it ever-so-slightly, then you have to re-plug it in again. I probably need to get it checked out before I short
something, but I don't have the ca$h (didn't get the warranty DOH!)

okay, enough about that...

so I'm lovin' my little scooters! I need to get a Buddy one now and put my ewok on there and they can all be friends.

Those are so fun! And with riders too! And I looooove the pet carrier!! That is too freakin' funny

The funniest part is that the guy riding the Cub has a lap apron on (often meaning he is a cook or a food delivery driver). fresh kittiiiiiiiiies!!! Get your kitties while their hot!

Can you name drop the hobby shop? Is it local local, or national chain local?

Sorry OG, it's just a local hole-in-the-wall place called Bobe's Hobby house. They've got loads of models and hobby stuff, art supplies,
puzzles, games, and others. But if you are looking for some of these scooter models, they're made by F-Toys and are part of the 1/24
Vintage Bike Museam "Moped Collection". ...yes, it's spelled "museam". The company makes mini planes, tanks, Starwars vehicles,
etc. They also have a "Big Bikes Collection" with some other Jap bikes. Let me know if you find a distributer online, I looked a bit earlier
and couldn't find much of nuthin.

Ugh, Krusty, that's an awesome score. I have the Rabbit model ... had to get it from Japan, and it t'weren't cheap. The crazy thing is it came in the Cub box!

There's another Rabbit model as well (a gold SuperFlow like the one I have), but I can't find it anywhere. If you find it, and can take pity on a Rabbit owner...

I like the guy's smile on the fuji rabbit.

So you have the goldish one with the chick rider? That's the only one they didn't have at Bobe's. Also when I looked it up it said when they came out in Japan they sold them at circle K and 7/11. Not sure how true that is... I guess they came out in 2006 or around there from what I could tell. Are you looking for the other Rabbit? If I find the one you have I could keep it and sell you the blue one if you want. They're like 8 bucks. I'll have to go up there tomorrow before work since I got too much going on today.
