I am told to look for these at your LHS before the end of 2012.

Thanks goodness I dont have a LHS.....I was expecting something slightly more realistic.

Eventually we will have prototype photos, some imagination is required on these renderings.

It's about time somebody did the Legends racers. I hope Jules does well with them.

Rant O' The Day: First impression was that the 1:1 racer looked like a scaled up Womp slot car and thought a major vacuum form body manufacturer (has somebody done it already?) would sell a bunch of these in 1/24 scale. The wheelbase scales out to 3" width 2.5" in 1/24 if I've done the math correctly. Prepainted bodies...stickers sheets with any and every sponsor real or imagined under the sun...might bring a few kids into the hobby without re-tooling too much.

Champion has done legends vac bodies and offers them on their version of the womp chassis.

I did a search after I posted and saw the Champion vac bodies. I guess they do the job...but they could have spent a little more time getting the curves right. Time to get out knife and carve a prototype in 1/24 for my own amusement.

JK had a 3-window coupe out a few years ago in 1/24.
