For those looking for staff cars, your wish is answered!
It comes with the driver and two officers.

Does this come as a kit? Or does it come premade?

Post by **aferguson** » Wed Sep 10, 2008 8:45 pm

This was in the new Fairfield Mint catalog I received today. Price is right at $100. Its a ready made car. The items in the Fairfield Mint catalog are generally 20%-30% overpriced when compared to other outlets so it could probably be found at a more reasonable price.

Great Intell, thanks. I goggled it and found this also.

They have it at $79.99 for preorder, shipping could easily be higher, though. The photo they have shows the figures to be very glossy.

Great find, I think I just lost the space reserved for the '88.

I figure you guys would like it!

I forgot to mention that it was in the "last catalog" unless I order from the Fairfield Mint. of course it the 17th time they have said that

Their prices are very high, so look around. It said a Nov 08 release. DiecastAuto.com say it is made by Premier, but I read that it is made by Signature Models.

I wonder it is will have decals to put on the flags?

definitely needs a new paint job......dark grey as mg42. And a custom figure of general burkhalter. I suspect we'll be able to find this for less than $80. Premier diecasts aren't that expensive and the quality on this doesn't look overly high, so it should be found for less, $ in time. I'm not really into staff cars but this is definitely worth getting.

I have seen photos of Hitler in both types of cars mentioned in the above posts. The dual rear wheels just look really cool though.

Post by **aferguson** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 7:55 am

there's one with Hitler and Mussolini figures in it as well.

Also, be careful when you order. There's a hardtop and convertable version of the 770k. You probably want the convertable.

One of the sites says it will be available in white/black. Would like one of these in black especially and agree the rear double wheels set this vehicle apart. The 1/18 hobby lives on.

Premier is made by Signature, I was unable to find otherwise.

I picked up the 38 Mercedes 770K Black finish in1:18th. Very nice model, XD figures look great around or near it..... but they seem to be a little large if sitting in the car.

Still a nice piece to add to your collections.
