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
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!
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
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.
@@masjuggalo Not in the states it wouldn't have. And your thinking of the high end stuff. It would have come with something basic like what he showed in the video to keep the cost down.
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 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 😎
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.
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! 👍👍
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.
@@TAMIYALegends Tamiya Club website has a tutorial on how to apply large decals like this with some water and detergent so you can slide them around to get them into position before you squeegee the water out from under the decal to finalize its position.
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 :)
Iol yeah makes me laugh when folk waste time and money on hoppers trying to improve them! just leave them alone and enjoy the terrible performance with all smiles😉
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.
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! 👍👍
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.
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 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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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 👍
These are cool but will never be “mega gold” collector kits. Nostalgia is a key driving force for that and these don’t resonate to the masses that way.
@@Ts-zy4bw Its made by tamiya and different and very unique and of course rare and that is plenty to qualify! They don't have to be vintage anymore to be collectable plus a Hornet will always have nostalgia soaked through it 😉
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.
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 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.
I agree. The price is always brought up but if you bought a kit, radio and servo the price is close. So to me the pricing hasn’t hit collectible pricing yet like the Wantanabe.
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.
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. 🤣🤣
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!
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.
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.
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 really like the fact they changed the livery😍, and that it was not mainstream😎 but can't help but feel they chose the wrong model.🤔😬🤭 Was never a huge fan of the model if I'm honest, was the original livery I got stung by more 🙃. Fantastic for the shelf 😉😂
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 👌
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!
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
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.
300 units is very possible, most stores dont get many of the “lifestyle” type items, most supreme items sell for 2x and higher because of the limited quantities
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.
Had one and sold it on…..I did keep the radio set though as the buyer did not want it! It’s a cracking edition of the Hornet in my opinion. The Supreme clothing brand gave the skateboard connection I think. I loved the black wheels on it. Should I have kept it?
Supreme are what are classe as a 'hypebeast' brand. They cornered the new marketing market of 'the drop' where they hype up a release and dona limited number. Perfecting the supply/demand balance.
I'm definitly not a collector but I do wish I could get one of those. I think it's an awesome design. Just wish there were more of them so prices wouldn't be so bonkers... Is it a controversial release? I don't know. You either like it or you don't. Doesn't matter to me how or why this kit came to be. 👍😉
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

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. 👍
Thanks buddy 🤩👊🏻
Great opportunity to introduce people to the hobby! Brilliant kit, my friend. Thank you for the video!
Definitely a different one. Looking forward to seeing it complete.
Cheers buddy 😅👊🏻

Yeah the only two vintage rtr kits I can think of was, the Thundershot and Sonic Fighter. Both go for big money now if you can find one 😅
But then the box would of had a $5-600 price tag. RC is so much cheaper these days even without inflation
@@masjuggalo Not in the states it wouldn't have. And your thinking of the high end stuff. It would have come with something basic like what he showed in the video to keep the cost down.
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!
Yeah it’s the same here for me! Just nothing local at all 🤯🤕🤕
Bikes and RC in the same place !!! Heaven.
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.
Haha isn’t it funny how that works my friend 🤣. It’s happened to me so many times 🙈👊🏻
Supreme is a brand that puts that logo on literally anything they can sell to young people. They even sold a brick with the logo on it. Silly stuff
I thought it was going to be a TD4 Super Avante when you turned the box around 😂
Haha I’ve done that one already 🤣👊🏻
If anyone likes the design, MCI Racing does a copy of the sticker set to use on any Hornet.
Fantastic 🤩👊🏻
That's plan B then if the decals go south!😫
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 😎
Haha that’s actually a fantastic point that I’d not thought of 🤩
Yeah totally why do the Hornet to non rc people 🤔🤩
@@TAMIYALegends easy to answer that question...LOOK AT IT!🤩🤩🤩

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!
Haha yeah I’m still loving the neon one I did 😎👊🏻
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.
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 !!
The fierce sting of the Hornet Supreme BURNS (a lot of cash in the walllet ;_)
Haha it certainly does my friend 🤕🤕🤕
I'm excited to see the finished buggy !
😎👍
Me too 🤩👊🏻
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.
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 use the Expec GT with my Db01 and Avante…two more boxed sets for other kits ….works s treat 👍
Oh really I didn’t know that Duncan 🤩👊🏻
A quick search shows em going for anywhere from 350-1500 US dollars.. crazy
Yeah I’m sure no one is buying them at that 🙈
@@TAMIYALegends I’d hope not lol
I really like the fact they changed the livery😍, and that it was not mainstream😎 but can't help but feel they chose the wrong model.🤔😬🤭
Was never a huge fan of the model if I'm honest, was the original livery I got stung by more 🙃.
Fantastic for the shelf 😉😂
Thanks for watching and commenting buddy 🤩👊🏻
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 👌
Yeah it’s definitely a cool thing 😎👊🏻
That's a verry cool version of the car. I love it more then the Jun Watanabe version. ❤
Excellent thanks for watching my friend 🤩👊🏻
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!
Thanks George 😎👊🏻
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
Cool that's in my hometown on Riverside California by the plaza passed by the place all the time
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.
No it’s not buddy which is a shame because I’d of bought one 🤕
300 units is very possible, most stores dont get many of the “lifestyle” type items, most supreme items sell for 2x and higher because of the limited quantities
Orange or copper aluminium wheel nut would look awesome
BEAUTY!!
Thanks buddy 😎👊🏻
Great dribble!!!
Haha thanks buddy 😇👊🏻
Looks very cool love the flames like the fact that you get the radio
Yeah definitely a cool thing my friend 🤩👊🏻
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.
Oh I thought there were more outlets than that. Ok that’s interesting regarding the quantity that was made then 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Great video Glenn I understand it but i think I will sit on the fence with that one 🤔
Well thanks for watching buddy 😎👊🏻
Had one and sold it on…..I did keep the radio set though as the buyer did not want it! It’s a cracking edition of the Hornet in my opinion. The Supreme clothing brand gave the skateboard connection I think. I loved the black wheels on it. Should I have kept it?
Haha yeah I really like the radio set too 😎
Supreme are what are classe as a 'hypebeast' brand.
They cornered the new marketing market of 'the drop' where they hype up a release and dona limited number.
Perfecting the supply/demand balance.
Love the Tamiya Hornet, There awesome fun. Tough as nails.
Yeah totally agree it’s a special car from a very special Tamiya timeline 🤩👊🏻
Short story time. Dribble. Free kit for your collection. ❤it.
Haha thanks Ian 🤩👊🏻
I'm definitly not a collector but I do wish I could get one of those. I think it's an awesome design. Just wish there were more of them so prices wouldn't be so bonkers...
Is it a controversial release? I don't know. You either like it or you don't. Doesn't matter to me how or why this kit came to be.
👍😉
Yeah I’m amazed at all the comments so far, all really positive 🤓
I honestly didn’t expect that lol 😂
@@TAMIYALegends 🤣 it does happen! 😜
Best Dribbler ever, haha Cheers mate from this Aussie in China!
Haha thank you 😊
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 👍👍
Hey thanks for watching my friend 🤩👊🏻
In Canada the font used for supreme is the same as the font used by Petrol Canada on their pumps for supreme fuel.
Haha cool 😎
Great video as always!. Very interesting. The kit is FUGLY though...
Haha thanks for watching buddy 😅👊🏻
Like your videos what you think about tamiya tb evaluation limited edition
Absolutely love the original TB Evo 😍😍😍
One day I’ll hopefully find one for the collection 😇
I actually have one I'm thinking about trading for other rc but some people say it's worth keeping I don't know
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
Yeah I’d be very surprised if they actually sell for that 🙈🤯
