They should ALL be like that, kinda defeats the whole principle of being 'workable' if cement is applied.

I know there are a lot of Magic Track fans out there but not all of us want to glue for 4 hours. LOL

I wish ALL tracks in general were like that.. life would be so much easier

The VW Cads look pretty nice.. I really hope they continue with a whole line of these "small vehicles" in the future.. Also, the Lebanese Army decals are a nice touch

I didn't know about the hermaphroditism of the IV's...I thought the hermaphrodites were mainly Mk V's. But nice, I think

You're doing it wrong


Nice news though... I must admit I feel a bit cheated since i got my Mk.IV kit early and now must shell out more money for a replacement that, to be honest, should have been in the kit from the start! (IMO)

I feel the same way, but at least the replacement tracks aren't stupidity priced in the US....and I need two sets.

I don't think the Mystery Machine was a V-dub. More likely a 60-ish Ford or Chevy, if iI recall correctly.

I read this as Gluten Free tracks.

Good news. I haven't tackled the ones on the Mk IV yet anyway, so the timing is good.

@mag135, the reason you didn't know about any Mark IV Hermaphrodites is because they never existed. You are correct in thinking Hermaphrodites were only Mark V and V* tanks.

Great and just as well I haven't got Takoms MKIV yet as those save a lot of time.

And dig the Tadpole box art too!
