    I'm currently in the market for a (wow, you guessed it!) TFC #20, Kup and Wheelie. I have some questions.

    1) What's the going rate on these guys (this guy? This package?)?
    2) Is Kup the Targetmaster version? I've seen pics on TFSource, it looks like he is, but I'd like to know for certain.
    3) Rubber tires or no? I have the TFC Hot Rod... he's the Targetmaster version, with original guns (which are supposed to fit both the larger fist holes AND the smaller ones), and has rubber tires... I don't know if Kup ever had those.

    TFSource has it in stock ( http://www.tfsource.com/Reissues/Reissue-20-Kup-Wheelie/reissue-20-kup-wheelie.html )... which looks like my best choice so far, and they've gotten rave reviews, but I'm curious about possible cheaper options, what I should expect, etc.

    1) Outside of Ebay I think TFSource is your best bet.
    2) Yup, he is a targetmaster
    3) And yeah, he also has rubber tires

    You can get Kup and wheelie cheap, hes not popular. $30 is about the most you should have to pay. But because there unpopular I've seen them go for $20 on ebay.

    Ebay:
    You can easily get the set for the price TFSource wants for it on eBay with shipping included, but at least they're a hassle-free alternative. Still, I'd shop around if I were you, because you don't need to rush. Check what's for sale here in the Junkion too.

    I've seen these go for $30-40 on ebay.

    I think I might pick one up as well. Unlike Hot Rod, I don't think this will be reissued under the Encore line.
