It's always nice when the seller includes a box spanner, to go with the 8,754,120 that I already have Why do people insist on cramming things into the smallest possible box? Just go to the supermarket and get a big one, stuff around the goodies with newspaper. I once purchased a pair of R34 GT-R Xenon lamps and they were packaged in a similar fashion - of course one of the brackets broke in transit... Sorry pet hate of mine! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wandy 1527 Posted November 23, 2016 I'm a sucker for these special editions so, in the absence of anything exciting from Tamiya this year, I nabbed these two bad boys from Tamico, all in shrink wrapped goodness, before they disappear from the stores altogether. The Blue Lunchie in particular is already becoming hard to find. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
