mikea96 0 Posted June 17, 2005 Based on the Tamiya America website the MSRP on the grasshopper is only 132 uSD versus the hornets 160 uSD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al(2) 2 Posted June 18, 2005 Hey All, Tower Hobbies has the Lunch Box and Grasshopper listed on their site already! The price of the Grasshopper is $84.99 and the Lunch Box is $94.99!! I guess they are taking pre-orders now! I guess it will be a hwile until they get them in stock. The Hornet still hasn't come into stock at Tower yet. Is that because they are filling all of the pre-orders?? -Al Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XanderP 1 Posted June 20, 2005 Is the re-realease for a limited time? Or will it stay in production for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madmat 33 Posted June 20, 2005 you would have to check with tamiya or wait till its released and see if the limited edition sticker is on the box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJTheo 2 Posted June 21, 2005 Some years ago Tamiya used also to make limited 58xxx models like the re-58004 XR-311 or Blitzer Beetle Chome but lately I have the feeling they use more 49xxx numbers for limted releases so I think the GH and LB will be normal ones like also the 58336 Hornet.
