54412 Bruiser 4

Does that slipper clutch mean "certification" for better motors?

Tom

I'm intrigued by the driver figure...

I guess it could go several ways - an all new sculpt, a modified Sand Rover driver sprue, or just a Sand Rover figure & some instructions on where to drill the seat unit

nee, to complicated, guess it will be the Hilux 4x4 driver, although he is a tight fit in the bruiser, not much headroom.

I see the re-re Bullhead has the same walrus polishing brush as the Bruiser

I wonder just how many of those brushes will appear on ebay in the future as "As new! Never used! Still sealed in pack!". My guess would be ... all of them

I have been watching the original bruisers on Ebay for quite some time. The price's are going higher than they were a year ago.

What is the real value on the org Bruiser, mint condition rtr? One just sold for $775.00 usd a month ago, It was in almost mint condition.

I wouldn't call that example particularly mint - the incorrect wheels & tyres, plus the doubts over the provenance of the decals, lack of radio gear & box all lowered its value IMO.

The high end of the range for a 100% correct & complete minty Bruiser I'd think would be more like 1200 to 1600 USD, and 2000 to 2400 for an NIB, but ones that good come up very, very rarely.

Ya your rite Johnny, i posted on memory and added the link after.
