Juggernut Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Has anyone else who preordered the new Tamiya Corsair from Hobbylink Japan get charged yet? I got my Paypal notification of payment received so I checked the Hobbylink Japan site and found that my order is being readied for shipping... Total with shipping from Japan? $139 and some change; just about $15 more than what I paid for the F4U-1 last year. Happy Dance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Got my payment request too. $139 shipped for FedEx from Japan. Glad the yen has gone down since the total was 16000 yen (11,040 for the kit + 4960 shipping). Not bad at all. Bet that beats a lot of internet shops in the US, since the MSRP is $213 according to Tamiya America. Lucky Model has it for about $130 shipped, if you use their 15% off coupon. See that it's already backordered at HLJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloorwestSiR Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Mine is now on its way from Lucky Model. It looks like their price for it has gone up on their website though. It's now $125 US plus shipping but mine was $110 shipped via air mail. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantom Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Looking to order from Seal Model, they have the best price. Their service is pretty good also. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Just took a look at SealModel and the $89 is a pre-order price. I don't have an account to log in and am wondering what shipping would be to Long Island, NY. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) All you need to do is put in your country, state and zip code and your shipping cost will come up. To me the shipping is $31.88 for registered air parcel. Mike Edited November 21, 2014 by phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoobyDoo Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Just took a look at SealModel and the $89 is a pre-order price. I don't have an account to log in and am wondering what shipping would be to Long Island, NY. Peter I almost purchased from SealModel until I figured out the exchange rate on the US dollar and the shipping. The rate for me was $127.50 Canadian shipped per kit from SealModel as compared to $129.50 Canadian from HLJ. I stayed with my original pre-order from HLJ as they have the kits in stock and the difference in price was not significantly different. But had I gone with the slower shippng it would have been $117 Canadian, which is a tremendous value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
