[color=blue][/color]KID IS CRAZY ABOUT KJ

shoprat · **Posted:** Sun Nov 18, 2007 12:11 pm

My 2 yr old son has a fit everytime he sees a Jeep .Thought it would be a GREAT gift for christmas .Only problem is I have not seen a KJ of any sort. Has anyone seen a diecast or plastic toy of this .I looked around a bit and have found nothing .I figured I would have more of a problem deciding which one rather than N/A .I even checked at the stealership the other day. Any help would be be appreciated .

I would suggest looking on ebay. I have purchased many KJ related items on there. Type in liberty
for the search and narrow the search down to toys & hobbies. You can then decide what scale -how big-
you want to go. I guessing you are looking for matchbox or hot wheels sized vehicle though.
Do your research on the recalled items coming out of China! With the lead paint issues. Especially if he will playing with it.
A few months ago I even purchased a 1:18 scale diecast model of a KJ. It's an '02-'04 and
I own an '05, but you take what you can get sometimes. Don't forget to check out Wallyworld and Kmart.
Hope this helps you out.

Well, being made in China I would have to be on the safe side and assume the paint has lead if it's for a kid. You could paint over it I guess.

MatchBox makes a liberty that is green with mud along the sides. It's part of thier mummy curse line of playsets. You can buy it separately. Kinda neat painted with some Egypt looking symbols and the side doors open.

My little man has it.

I just picked up a new still in the box battery powered 1/12 scale or so (its about ten / eleven inches long, its a all black KJ, got it the other day at a yard sale, it looks cool, high priced though........ 5 bucks!! I have seen quite a few on flea bay off and on also. I have 5 of various sizes now. Picked up two of them at Odd Lots!

The front tires on the green one look like they rub reallllly bad, and I'd love to see the rear at full stuff.

Resident Matchbox expert chiming in here: There is a red Superfast edition Liberty but you have to look pretty hard for it. It's only available in Walfarts. I have 5 of them but i'm not parting with them. When I'm not feeling so lazy i'll post a pic of all the MBX Libbys done. BTW they are made in Thailand.

Not so bad. You just have to bang down the pinch weld with a very small hammer.
