WW-nut 0 Posted June 2, 2009 Guess the 'bag' version will be appearing very soon on a worldwide auction site - and at a big premium. Brilliant, not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bakaguyjean 7 Posted June 2, 2009 Might I also be the first one to say: What a shame it is to see that gorgeous injection moulded body paired with THE MOST GOD-AWFUL UGLY WHEELS TAMIYA HAS EVER RELEASED! I agree wheels look bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hedge 314 Posted June 2, 2009 What's worse is that apparently all the "bag" models are sold out. I pre-ordered mine a while ago from rc champ If I don't get the bag I wont buy the car simples ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
casethejoint 296 Posted June 3, 2009 What's worse is that apparently all the "bag" models are sold out. That's good news if they made quite a few of them...... means that the market is lively for re-releases/limited editions. Seems strange they would make that for the Japan market only though.

dwayne 0 Posted June 3, 2009 I am going to kill myself if I don't get a US release date and price for this thing!!!! I need to preorder now!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 1 Posted June 4, 2009 I am going to kill myself if I don't get a US release date and price for this thing!!!! I need to preorder now!!! If you go to Tower Hobbies and enter in the model number 84057, it will bring up the Tamiya Unimog kit at a price of $209. This is obviously a wrong description as the Unimog sells for over $300 on Tower Hobbies and that is not the model number for the Unimog. I think this is supposed to be for the Black Porsche. Check it out: Tower Hobbies - model #84057 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dwayne 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Any updates on the US release yet?? I called tamiya yesterday and they say the release should be the end of this week, they also said that the USA version DOES come with the bag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Challenger-RT 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Here ist the first Black Porsche Japan Version with bag !!! on ebay - just look here: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...alenotsupported I just bought mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya1/10 382 Posted June 18, 2009 http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...alenotsupported I thought the body was hard plastic not polycarbonate, per ebay site? At $285.00 in my opinion, even with the cloth bag is expensive! The chassis is an existing one, the hard body, well Tamiya is in the static model business so is will within Tamiya area of expertise... the bag, mabe is worth $135.00??? unless Tamiya is paying a huge % for licensing from Porsche Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kalsh 44 Posted June 18, 2009 JR-RC had 20 at $285US with the bag - I didn't bother as think that is too much. I will keep my eyes open from other sellers of which one has emailed me to say when they get them they will be $165 (not sure if that includes the bag) which doesn't actually worry me. Well done to the people who puchased them. I watched the last 6 disappear very quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kokuzu 5 Posted June 18, 2009 Does anyone know the total number of cars which will be produced? I did not find it.... Mine is being shipped today from RC champ.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luke.jenner 0 Posted June 18, 2009 Unfortunately the Tamiya USA website has now removed the written reference to the bag - although there is still a photo of it. It appears that it may be true that the bag is for the Japanese market only. Regarding price, Tower Hobbies have these listed at $209.99 (was $258.99) and with the ad code you can get $45 off for orders over $200, so their price is $164.99. Has anyone heard from Stella, they told me they would keep me posted but I haven't heard a peep yet! Regards, Luke Jenner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

casethejoint 296 Posted June 21, 2009 Thanks for the headsup - ordered mine from Jason. Is the Japanese box different to the USA/Europe box ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typhoon 13 Posted June 21, 2009 How much was the 934 from RCChamp and cost of delivery to the UK? I know its not the done thing to enquire too much from RC Champ but not order. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyHB 0 Posted June 22, 2009 I've also given in and ordered one from Jason. Here's hoping that he sends it off with his usual attention to good packaging. This and the RRRR were on my summer shpping list, but I kind of took my eye off the ball for a month and then got all spontaneous yesterday. I'm really looking forward to this one. Those shots of this Porsche at the Hobby SHow really did it for me (except amybe the wheels..) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luke.jenner 0 Posted June 23, 2009 Guys, The 934 from Tower Hobbies is $210-$45 discount = $165! Jason, who is a superb seller, is offering the Japanese version for $285, WITH BAG! Question: do the collectors out there think the Bag is worth a US$120 premium! Does anyone have a photo of the bag? Regards, Luke Jenner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
