Not sure if you (or I) misunderstood, but the "sticker box" was actually a selling point for me.  ;D I dig that it's a "piece of Tyco history" if you will.

I sent an email to the seller, and they said that it was working a couple years ago and just sitting on a shelf ever since so they just assumed it was fine.  FWIW they were pretty cool about it and did offer me a refund.

ALSO, it just so happens that a guy I've been talking to over at the URC forums sent me the electronics and remote for a Rebound.  I just got it today, and the remote works for the Dagger so at least I can drive it! (also works for my Maxx Traxx and Triple Wheels  ;D)  It's not worth paying for return shipping, especially now that I have a working remote for it, so at this point I would rather keep the Dagger.  

The good:  Car runs w/ Rebound remote, prototype "sticker box" & insert is very cool/rare, car itself looks almost new, fair price, seller offered to accept return
The bad:  Included remote not working, AFAIK the car is a regular production model- not a prototype as described.

BTW, I mentioned in my last post that I'm probably better off with a regular production model than a prototype.  However, after studying that picture on the printed insert, I think the prototype shown has a metal chassis.  I could be wrong, but if that's the case - I WANT...

Meh, it's all part of the hobby!  Sorry for the long posts, I just figured I'd try to give as much info as possible so you guys could form your own opinions.  In the end, it was still worth it, and the seller was willing to rectify things.  I just figured a lot of you guys would be eyeing this seller for the upcoming Super Fast Traxx, and thought I'd share my experience.

huh, so we did get those here, eh?  seems to me that some models may have been regional in the us ???  can anyone confirm that or feel the same?  or maybe i just wasnt paying any attention when that was sold here.

well it sounds like youve got a buyer already for the lambos.  if it doesnt work out though i could see those bringing a good amount for ya on ebay.  just slap a reserve on em so you dont end up giving them away.  chances are itll be met.
