Boomerang Re-release

[Janner 35]

Possibly trying to shift it before rere comes out?

[Avante2001R 293]

Was gonna buy the Bigwig but have ordered two Boomerangs - my first one I had back in 89  can't wait! 

[Jonathon Gillham 3184]

Mine are on their way, have the tracking number and everything...turns out checking where they are every half hour doesn't speed it up!

[Carrera124 65]

Where to order them?

Just got the bigwig delivered and  a boomerang is heading my way as i type ☺ happy days ahead.. re-re humongous year.   Wonder if any other re-re kits will get a re-re, re-re .  😃 wild one.?

[Jonathon Gillham 3184]

Carrera, I got mine from here http://www.super-rc.co.jp/rc/index.html#tab-01 if that helps?

[Jonathon Gillham 3184]

Has anyone ordered from Japan using the EMS service from Japan post? The tracking says "departure from inward office of exchange ". It is in Auckland now (frustratingly close, I live 10mins from the airport and would happily go and pick them up!)   The order is over the threshold for duty but most seem to get through when they are only just over.

 

Does this mean that it is through customs and now just needs processing by NZ post or whoever handles the NZ part for Japan post?

when I ordered from rcmart...it got to Chicago international and stayed there for 4 days!...I was a nervous wreck.....then transferred to Chicago usps......I did receive it a few days later...it was a Tamiya kit...

[Jonathon Gillham 3184]

So my Boomerangs arrived,  except one is a Novafox!?! I have emailed asking if they have any suggestions as its their mistake, but I guess its not all bad to have 1 of each.

 

I know nothing about the Novafox, guess I should do some research.

 

Oh and no ESC so that opens up an opportunity....

Geez.. 😞  i think i purchased from the same store as you did Jonathon. I ordered 1 boomerang kit and i gave them the kit number.

 Hope i dont get another novafox as i already have one with lots of spares.  The novafox is a great bit of kit indeed, u car'nt go wrong with the fox ☺

[Jonathon Gillham 3184]

They replied saying to send it back and they sent the other boomerang to the wrong person who wanted a fox and they'll get them to send the boomerang back then send it to me. It all sounds too hard, so have asked if i can just keep it. They can't really say no since i have it here alreayd, its also cheaper for them to let me keep it.

 

Looking through the Boomerang kit the build is so much more involved than the TT02Bs that I built in November. Its almost intimidating how much more there is to it! Can't wait, the biggest challenge will be involving my son without him getting too involved...

[huasze 24]

i think the fox cost a little more than the boomer.

more worthwhile to keep the fox.

i will probably never have a fox. 4wd more my thing

[GTodd 904]

Anyone have a source that will ship to the USA?

[Jonathon Gillham 3184]

Yep kept them both, got the Fox for the Boomerang price, only 2200yen difference though but still, small wins. I'm actually really happy how it turned out, 4wd more my thing too and would never have bought the Fox but the kit is really cool and I've done some reading about the Fox and it has a great story and by all accounts is a great car.

 

GTodd, Super RC in Japan will probably ship to the USA but I don't know for sure. Email them on oversea@super-rc.com

 

Yes that is oversea, not overseas.

 

Good luck!

[gt6++ 23]

I can't imagine that the release is limited to Japan and the UK.

[Carrera124 65]

@GTodd I bought mine from this Ebay seller, he offers worldwide shipping:

Good to see you Back .   .

[christam 205]

Just pre ordered my Boomerang from Modelsport, and a Novafox.

[Jonathon Gillham 3184]

Has anyone received their Boomerangs from any sellers outside of Japan yet? Just curious to know if/when it will make it to other countries

[huasze 24]

Boomerangs are already in HK shops physically. 

[Saito2 2819]

I see the Novafox and Avante will be making it to Tower Hobbies in the States. I sure hope the Boomerang gets listed eventually too. I missed it the last time around.

[Champ85 490]

TamiyaUSA has the Boomerang listed as "coming soon" rather than "discontinued", so there is hope.  If so, Tower should get some.
