They are quite soft but they look so pretty As my Egress's are all shelf queens, the softness of the springs don't matter to me, its all about the look

Ahaa lucky you LHS's in the UK are months behind you chaps in Singapore

Oooh nice! Where did you buy from? Nobody else even has them yet I don't think.

As soon as these spring sets start cropping up for sale, I'm furnishing all my vintage Egress's with a fresh set. They are soooooooooooo nice!

And the images for anyone who doesn't want to read my babble... Enjoy

Part 3 of the build is now live! Some sexy stuff in this one http://tamiyaegress.com/

OUCH! Looks like RC Mart got stock and shipped them all...at...$822.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whaaaaaaaaaat? That's not like RC Mart, they're normally really good on price. Looked like they wanted to milk this RC cow for all she's worth! http://www.rcmart.com/tamiya-58583-egress-2013-road-p-38061.html

I dropped in my pre-order the moment this thread was started, like within seconds, so that 'maybe' the reason why? I have a feeling I am one of a few that made pre-orders very early on. badword, saying that, I don't have them yet so there is a good chance I'll only get allocated one I guess. That happened at Banzai with my Egress. Ordered and paid for two, only got allowed one and they refunded the rest.

Yey, ordered two with Stella after the update email this weekend. Looking forward to getting these!

First time I ordered I was asked for my TC membership number before I was given my code. So I guess in some cases you do.

Yeah Fusion is only a good price if you're a TC member and UK based (free shipping).I've almost finished the build now, so part 3 will go up on the blog tomorrow I'll tell you what's really astonishing now I'm near the end of the build, and that's just how truly different this car actually is to the original. Almost every single part is new. That's no criticism though, just a statement. I think it should have been called 'The Egress Evolution' personally. Superb build.

Drum roll until Tuesday at Fusion Models...let's see if Joanne's supplier is good on his word! Fingers crossed.

Worry not, try (believe it or not) putting the entire code in parcelforce's or royal mails tracking, it should appear on one of them. Once a parcel leaves the far east with one of those number/codes it hits our systems shortly after. I've ordered from jc-rc numerous times, but have never used jr-rc...are they the same person?

Argh, I somehow managed to not read the title, you know, the bit that tells you what the article is about...DOH!

I think we can relax chaps, news just in from Tamiya Blog... "Shipping will be postponed due to production reasons from 11th December (in Japan) to a new, still undecided date, we will post new infos when they are available." ...I think we can safely say that more are coming, its just a matter of when. Interestingly, it states 'In Japan' which says the delays are nothing to do with the hurricane. I bet the Team Associated boss popped over to the factory and stole all the employees

You sir have a keen eye. Good info!

Yeah, yeah, bla, bla, bla. An Egress would smash the granny out of any other buggy in the entire world and you know it

PHWOAR what a tasty pair!

We're hearing different numbers, that's odd, but yeah, from past experience, Fusion are fab!

Just spoke to Fusion, she's got 7 coming in and her supplier has 'confirmed' that they are in transit, and 'should' arrive on Tuesday, but beyond that, they know no more. Something tells me that from that first (and last?) small batch a handful of them were whipped out to exporters based on orders. Who knows. I've kept my order in place and she's going to give me a ring on Tuesday to confirm if they've arrived and to ship mine out.

BOOOOOOM thanks Wandy! Ordered! Not taking any chances, even if my card is smoking so bad its now starting to melt.

Who thinks that Team Associated bought them all up to make the release look bad?

I'm relieved and gutted...just went to tower hobbies site with the viewpoint of 'sod it, get another one just in case'...only to see that they too are now out of stock. The dude on eBay selling them at $560 has a...wait for it...25 day handling time?!?!?! SUSPICIOUS!

Jeez, I joked about this but never thought it could be true. This is kinda scary. Glad I got one, but equally kinda freaked out that I just started building what maybe the single most limited run Tamiya car in history. Oops. Bah, made to be played I guess.

I bought the RC10 too, but have to say, its still unbuilt, and now that my Egress is under way, its unlikely to ever get built I think. I may end up selling the RC10 as the nostalgia factor isn't really that strong.
