This is the second time this happens and while the first was green with their trendy camo detailing, this version is red with camo detailing. For those not in the know, BAPE (aka A Bathing Ape) is a Japanese clothing line who's logo takes inspiration from Planet of the Apes. You can see this logo in silver below on the side of the cab.
Due to their exclusivity, these are usually very expensive editions. So, does this interest you guys? Anyone sure to hunt it down?

Eh, not that much different, just the blue replaced with a darker red.

Do you try to get every version of the mold?

Well, yea. Except for green Bape Convoy. By the time he was $400, he was too expensive. Now he's 2x that minimum.

Already is, as of yesterday. Available through the 10th on a lottery system at one "pop-up" BAPE store. Works out to about $160, but already on Yahoo Japan for $600-ish. Given that...Seibertron wrote:Do we know when this will be available?
