Finally! After a year of looking for one, I got myself a near-mint Kyosho Shadow! I bought it from a guy in British Columbia for a very good price. The price was a little under my usual spending limit on vintage cars, but in the case of the shadow, I'd have probably been willing to spend more than double that.
This was the 2nd buggy I had as a young lad, sometime in the 80's. However, I can't even remember actually driving it, so there's a good chance I never finished assembling it. I think that's one of the reasons I am so excited over finding such a complete Shadow. I plan on one day taking it for a spin, maybe make a good video of it. Anyway, here are some photos of it!

I am pretty sure that the Shadow was Kyosho's answer to Tamiya's BigWig:
