I hope they can fix the problems from the eertl kitt like the grappling hook should be harder to break,the ejector seat should be up not forward and a scanner that doesnt stop in the middle of a scan then go on again in the other direction,oh and I know all of us are having problems with our t tops.Well most of us.Karr never used a grappling hook so maybe thats not needed on the model.

for some reason i see this car to be nothing more than the KITT they made with a silver bottom and possibly a yellow scanner. the thing that puzzels me is that they really don't have to do do to much more to make a KARR(paint,leds and a box) from the existing KITT, yet it is going to take 7 months (if we're lucky) to release KARR.

True, but as discussed in the KITT thread, let's be grateful that this is being released at all. After all, this is approx a 20 year old TV series that only ran 4 seasons. We should all be very happy :)

Great, I definetely going to buy KARR too.
Yes it's strange that releasing ERTL KARR takes 7 months when Aoshima released both KITT and KARR at the same time.

True, but keep this in mind.

Ertl has to plan & prepare to have sufficient stock & a suitable product for a worldwide market. Although Aoshima had a KARR right off the bat, they obviously didn't plan very well as they were sold out well before KARR was even released.

RECEIVED CONFIRMATION FROM ERTL/JOY RIDE

****************************************************

E-mail to Joy Ride Studios (chris@joyridestudios.com as on their website)
To whom it may concern.

It has recently been brought to my attention that as a follow-up to Ertl's release of the Knight Rider Trans Am (KITT) in late 2004, the KARR model is to follow in July 2005. Can this be confirmed?

Thanking you in advance.

****************************************************

E-mail reply from Joy Ride Studios
I will say that you are correct. The KARR is on the list for summer 2005.

I'm surprised that they haven't made this a sticky yet!!!

Also, with all the fuss about Aoshima's KARR, I'm surprised that more people haven't added a line or two in this post!!!

Not everything can be sticky or there would be no room for other posts. :) When more comes out, we'll do just that. But right now the other model thread is quite successful and has discussions on all 4 of the models.

I just want to see a picture of the KARR, and want to know where I can buy a KITT as well!

There is no picture of the upcoming ERTL KARR yet. But check out the discussions on this thread above: Sticky: 1/18 Die Cast KITT Coming In December...There are pictures there of the ERTL KITT and Aoshima KARR. Just check out the last 10 pages.
