Schumacher 2 inch yellow blocks ( we tried a few different tyres and found these were the best) plus they fit the kit wheels :)

Heads up! Boomers are now on ebay from one of our favourite distributors in Hong Kong. Got a crackin price on one shipped Down Under. Kits include ESC too. What a relief it is to tick this one off the list.

For personal reasons, this will be a special build for me.

Waiting for my two to arrive from fusion hobbies....

Have you seen any sign of shipping from them?

I noticed the Avante had disappeared from their site completely :(

Is it possible that it's already sold out? Will a new batch follow? How was it with the 2008 version? One production run only?

I wondered the same when I got mine. I ordered 2 Boomerangs and got a Novafox and Boomerang and they were pretty happy when I said I would keep the Fox even though it cost more (paid for 2 Boomers)

There is a local online store that still has them though if you're in New Zealand, good price too, NZD $295 delivered, or about 150 pounds or USD $200 and that includes the TBLE-02S

I had a call earlier this morning from my local store. They've had one of the Boomerangs, which they had on order, turn up today unexpectedly. They weren't expecting any for another few weeks.

Needless to say, as there was only one person with their name down for one and that person was me, I'll be picking it up on Saturday (unless I can manage to get some time off work before then).

Received mine from Tamico yesterday 😎

When did you order? As they aren't on stock according their website?

Further, what value did they put on the parcel? Did you have to pay VAT?

Preordered when they opened for preorder, in the beginning of April. I am in Denmark, so no extra vat here.

Picked mine up this morning from Howes Models in Kidlington.

Pictured with a couple of 4500mah NiMH packs, which I also got at the same time, and the Core RC radio and charger that came earlier in the week.

Received mine mid last week. Another will arrive in June sometime as I was informed. Tamiya didn't make enough by the looks of it.

Yeah when I first spoke to the store I got mine from I was told that Tamiya hadn't sent enough in the initial shipment, but there was a larger shipment due in June.

They weren't expecting to get any at all until that later shipment arrived, so it was a nice surprise to get a phone call last week :)

Currently got front and rear gearboxes assembled with suspension arms, and a few bits and pieces attached to the chassis.

Will be continuing from step 17 in the manual tonight.
