[Tamiya Era]

Me too Lee, the old one is really a stylish one

[mheald]

Ok, 12 sets of the 18 available are sold, leaving 6 sets...they're selling scarily fast. If you're after a set of these BF8/9's before they all go (by the morning at this rate) please let me know.

As I expected exactly, around $550

As I expected exactly, around $550

Which means it will be a lot less on the street.

Avante 2011 RRP was 52800 yen, which equates to ~$530. Stella's price was $400.

I'm still confident the Egress will be between $420 and $440 from Stella.

To add to the above, the Avante Black Special RRP was 62000 yen. So more confirmation that the Eggy should be cheaper than the BS was when first released.

[mheald]

• 3 STILL AVAILABLE

But in BS motor is there ehich makes thr kit luttle high

[candyman212]

Now ive sorted the front end out for parts I think the only big question is will it have blister packs. IF not i'll buy one to build, it it does have them and looks awesome I might just buy an extra one to keep NIB.

[Tamiya Era]

Definitly will have, otherwise who will buy the kit eith this price!!

I would agree with you, but the bruiser is in the back of my mind

This is then Egress were talking about. Would the queen go to dinner in a pair of Morrisons knickers? I don't think so. This package will be pure class, pure class I tell you!

[candyman212]

lol, i hope so

[Tamiya Era]

They have to make the blisters , these Hop Hup parts must be neat displayed plus this is Egress and first re-re,,,so things must be well managed

[mheald]

OOOOOK, all BF8's and BF9's are sold out. They didn't last long!

Still awaiting payment from 4 people and if any drop out I'll let you all know that some have become available again.

Ha haaa, well, terrible business actually, I had these made in 2011 and I'm pretty sure I'm 'just' about to break even now. I was in that place where 'I must complete my restoration, whatever it costs' and getting the BF8/9's custom made was the only option as I'd been hunting for some originals forever and a day.

[ralphee]

Why do i still get this feeling BF8 & 9 will be in the kit? Could be we get that option, its a longer shot, but it would be cool!

They would need to include BF4 x2, BF8, BF9 and the original taller-height damper stay (not the short one shown in the re-re). That combo of bonus parts seems unlikely. But if they're in there, I will be buying this kit.

[xray mark]

Are you guys preordering or hoping there is enough to go around on ebay, not sure how to get one?.

[scoobybooster]

As the Egress is a 58xxx kit number there's no reason to hurry...at least until a "black special" is going to be launched

Im buying it regardless, but it would be a nice addition, its quite possible its done as a limited item included, or, could come later in a revised special edition, either way, im a happy bunny!

[Tamiya Era]

Any idea when Tamiya Site will update the Gallary?? By now they should be done

[z00ter]

im sure blisters, they haven't flopped yet with this (apart from the funky front) other then that im sure it will be pristine, unhappy to have to go with a standard motor would like to have seen some sort of 01R/02H rere type thing similar to the dyna but hey I can dream, stoked for this cant wait, duno what else to say EGRESSSS!!!!!!!!

buying the one to bash the **** out of and holding back for a black special with a dynatech in the box with it ....
