Bill Cross Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Luckymodel has them for $139.51 shipped to the US (I incorrectly left off the shipping when I posted this). Edited September 25, 2017 by Bill Cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Southern Bandit Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hannants UK have them in stock now too, was looking this morning, £135 it was I think! Saw some on UK Ebay too, one was a more reasonable £117, gone now though.Had intended to buy this kit for my July birthday as a treat, think I'll wait until Christmas now, price usually comes down a bit from day one release prices.

DougN Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Luckymodel has them for $119.99 shipped to the US. Looks like they are $119.99 + shipping to US, which seems to be about $19.52 extra, minus the $6 coupon for a grand total of $133.51 shipped. Is there a secret coupon that makes them cheaper than that? timvkampen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a secret coupon that makes them cheaper than that? Find the cheapest item you need that puts the total at or over $120 and use S15 for $15 off. So basically anything $0.01 or more.

DougN Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Yeah, but that is kind of annoying to have the price set purposely $.01 below the better discount break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoobyDoo Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Looks like it was true!! Just got this: Amazing, he must be taking a loss leader on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Got my shipping notice as well. I'll still believe it only when I get the kit in my hands in two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I snagged one this afternoon as well. Same deal - $29.99 US Dollars price with ten bucks shipping from The Orient to me here in North Texas. I have carefully read every word on the auction page about three times over and, other than the too-good-to-be-true price and shipping, I can't find anything out of the ordinary. I still agree with David G, though...until I have the kit in my hands, I will be suspicious. Now I am off to read up on the eBay money back guarantee and PayPal purchase protection. Hope I won't have to use them... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1to1scale Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I hate to sound like a negative Nancy here, and I wish the best of luck for you guys, but my spidey sense is tingling. Look at his items sold, the only plastic kits he sells is the 1/32 F4U-4. Nothing else. Where is he getting them from, and how is he getting so many, when large hobby resellers are only getting a few at a time? How is a small time guy in China getting so many kits, and why would he take a loss on so many. I would guess that wholesale price is going to be at least $85. There is no way Tamiya is going to discount such a hot release. This really does not make sense guys. I hope you get what you ordered, but I would not take the bet even on $35. Does this seller and his price really make any sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this seller and his price really make any sense? We'll probably never know, but the point is, the guys here who went for this can not lose, if kit does not arrive they will be refunded. If kit does arrive and its not as described, they will be refunded, you cant lose here. When I saw this thread just after it began I looked on UK Ebay but it was not listed there otherwise I'd have went for it too. Sometimes in life you don't look a gift horse in the eye, you grab it while you can ... especially when as a customer you cant lose. Ebay/Paypal get a lot of bad press, but as a Customer you are well protected. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
