mheald

So, Banzai order one, on its way, or two, cancelled and now refunded. ETamiya ordered, cancelled and refunded. Time to start hunting again

I bet Mr.Tamiya is bloomin loving all this ha haaa.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Email from ETamiya... 'As the egress is very limited in quantity, and there is a big demand for this item which is far more than we expected and our supply is depleted. the item has already be sold out while you placing the order We are trying to arrange the item restock at this moment. Please kindly wait for our email on order update.' Gutted.

I'm thinking you and I both have. They announced on twitter and facebook that they'd got very limited numbers in (as Banzai said) and as Banzai sold out in under 30 mins, I'm guessing the same has happened here. Keep the faith

So, the saga continues. My Banzai order has now officially shipped yey! So that should be here for Wednesday. My ETamiya order just got messed up...why?...because Mr Stupid here forgot to update his card details, it expired and Paypal have chosen to do an eCheque...which wont clear with ETamiya until...wait for it...the 26th! AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH. Oh and while Banzai couldn't send me two, as of this moment in time, they've shipped one and not yet refunded me for the other...somewhat nervous. Egress's cost me a fortune lol.

Just for the record the RC Mart stock is my opinion based on an email I got saying 'we don't have a restock date for these yet, sorry' which I've taken literally, as in they've had stock, sold it and are now awaiting more, just like Banzai.

I've been keeping an eye on RC Mart and ETamiya all week. RC Mart have had and sold all theirs before even hitting the site (according to an email I received) and ETamiya showed as 'awaiting stock' until 8am this morning

ETamiya have stock now, they just updated this morning. I've ordered 2 yey!

DOH, after having to accept that Banzai could only give me one Egress, my order is still 'processing' I reeeeeally hope my order hasn't been kiboshed.

Snap, although it was good and bad news. I'm getting an Egress, not two, they could not fulfil the entire order, boo. I'll keep my fingers crossed for RC Mart or ETamiya to get stock this week.

PHWOAR! Check out this stunning after market Egress parts due out on the 20th! http://www.gforce-hobby.jp/products/G0039.html Good lord they're tasty!

RC Mart are yet to offer pre-orders and there is a very high chance that they will have secured a good number of units, plus their prices are always competitive, so not all hope is lost

I've got to say that I am now uncontrollably excited about this car...its really, real now, its paid for, its coming and it 'should' be in my arms by next Friday all going well. That maybe wishful thinking as I'm sure UK customs will impound it, hold it to ransom and not let it out until mid the following week...but I can hope right? Wahaooooooooooooo my fave RC car of all time is actually coming!

Maybe...just maybe...Tamiya are mimicking the RC10 release. Doing a limited run on a classic buggy? You never know, Tamiya has the finances and muscle to do such a thing if they chose. Although it might have been handy if they'd told people first lol.

Well, they did say 'very limited' on their facebook page, but ****, I had no idea it was THIS limited! So happy I pre-ordered when I did. Phew.

Yeah it's a pre order which ships on either Friday or Monday apparently. According to their Facebook page the Egress is 'VERY' limited too???? Which I've never seen Banzai state before. Could this be a short term run like the Top Force maybe?

I've never actually ordered from Stella before believe it or not. I've always used RC Mart, Banzai or eBay sellers

Oops just ordered 2, £500 delivered. Bargain Just need to cancel with Stella now. Let's hope my 'comments' regarding 'assistance' help.

Daaaamn really? Hmm, what exactly do you out in the comments if you don't mind me asking...I'm ordering today if this is the case

No, seemingly not. I've mailed them a couple of times before and never get a response. I order from them all the time as their prices for small items, like motors, parts etc defy belief with how they cheap they are, and as they can go via snail mail, they never get hit with customs. The kits only have EMS as a shipping option and they seemingly don't entertain 'assistance'.

Yeah Banzai are silly cheap, always, on everything. Only downer is, you ALWAYS get hit with duty, so you can add a solid £30 on that price as an absolute minimum. Tempting though as their shipping is ULTRA fast. Tempted to throw a Clod Buster in as they're only £100 at the moment

$398 shipped from Banzai! Pre-orders open, shipping Monday next week http://banzaihobby.com/Tamiya-58583 Now that's a tidy price!

Not sure where to post this, but seems like a really great deal! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131044393205?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648 I've bought from RC Mart on many occasions, great shop! Mike.

50p

Ha, you'll never crush my infinite degrees of hope Tamiya Era, never
