How can they release the same bike again, think they could come up with something new.
[/Sarcasm]

Looks like a useful set, unfortunately here in Canada base on the last release, the price does not represent what is in the box. I don't blame Master Box, but the money grabbing distributors.

Gotta' agree with Biggles2

Maybe he’s just tickled to be riding a bicycle loaded with Panzerfuasts! … I think I would be too!

MasterBox is certainly getting “mileage” out of these little movers: Bicycle kit + figure variety = many possibilities. …
Of course, “milage may vary!"

He thinks he's in the lead for the 1945 "Tour de Deutschland".

If Dragon had done this, people would be complaining left, right, and center.

What!! Can't Masterbox make anything other than bicycles? What are we going to see next - a delivery version from Schulze's Deli? A tandem for 2 Volksgrenadiers? A rickshaw bicycle? A bicycle with infant trailer?

Actually, a rickshaw bicycle sounds interesting!

Say yes to rickshaws! ... and maybe Ho Chi Minh Trail bicycles loaded-down with ridiculous amounts of supplies!

Which is one of the big reasons I have stopped buying locally. I just can no longer afford to spend 3-4x on a kit here in Canada then what I would spend with shipping and currency conversion overseas.
