egress rerelease in nov 2013

[Tamiya Era]

DOH, after having to accept that Banzai could only give me one Egress, my order is still 'processing' I reeeeeally hope my order hasn't been kiboshed.

Better if u sticked with stella...I have a felling Stella will come out with competitive price plus they are highly trustful...

Just had this email from Stella:

Further to our earlier email our suppliers have updated the availability of this kit to the end of November/early December.

I wonder if Stella may throw an item in for us? Some rims possibly, that would be nice, wouldn't mind a spare set of blacks so i can true up some foams on them for some asphalt action.

Yep, it's mine too. Regardless of when it turns up I won't be able to look at it until Xmas Day.

I wonder what is going on though?

Im a bit silly like that Wandy, even though i know what it is, its just kinda cool opening it on the day lol. Id say units are prepping to ship out to suppliers, its odd JCRC has only listed a couple was it? Id say they have maybe had trouble allocating supplies to all?

There is another seller on the bay, that has the last one of two sold, at a ridiculous price too, so I'm betting a lot of these were swallowed by Japan retailers, before they hit shipping containers, as normally, we would see at least ten listings from different ebay vendors?

ETamiya have stock now, they just updated this morning. I've ordered 2 yey!

There are normally enough to go round for the home market and all exports too though when they first hit the streets. For some reason there appears to be limited quantities in this first run.

Good price too!

Crikey, why did you post that mheald lol, its too tempting to pull the trigger, just holding out for Stella to come good, maybe even better that cracking price.......lol, eek, I'm all excited!

Thanks for the heads up, I have ordered mine just now. I have asked if they are actually in stock, i'll let you know what they say.

[mheald]

I've been keeping an eye on RC Mart and ETamiya all week. RC Mart have had and sold all theirs before even hitting the site (according to an email I received) and ETamiya showed as 'awaiting stock' until 8am this morning

[mheald]

Just for the record the RC Mart stock is my opinion based on an email I got saying 'we don't have a restock date for these yet, sorry' which I've taken literally, as in they've had stock, sold it and are now awaiting more, just like Banzai.

[Sumimasen]

What ETamiya site are you guys looking at? I just looked and the Egress is listed at $499, which is $99 more than Stella were estimating.

Now it says $599 and sold out. It was $400 earlier today if I'm not mistaken. I guess they're milking it as much as possible.

[Wandy]

Are eTamiya & Tamiya-Model the same people? Cos they are already out of stock too.

I personally think there is a disruption in supply chain in the Philippines - some kits perhaps shipped out before Haiyan, others are caught in the chaos.

I'm happy to wait to see what Stella pricing is - I'm also interested to see what happens to all these orders flying in to wherever say they have stock and their prices changing almost hourly - I hope for those that have orders in they come to fruition but I have my doubts who really has stock.

Sounds plausible.

Anyone else get the feeling we might not see these before Xmas?

[mheald]

So, the saga continues.

My Banzai order has now officially shipped yey! So that should be here for Wednesday.

My ETamiya order just got messed up...why?...because Mr Stupid here forgot to update his card details, it expired and Paypal have chosen to do an eCheque...which wont clear with ETamiya until...wait for it...the 26th! AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH. Oh and while Banzai couldn't send me two, as of this moment in time, they've shipped one and not yet refunded me for the other...somewhat nervous.

Egress's cost me a fortune lol.

[bjorklo]

Just got this one form Stella :-(

Hi

Further to our earlier email our suppliers have updated the availability of this kit to the end of November/early December.

We'll update in due course.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Regards

Looks like i will have to wait a bit more before i get my REgress...

The price when they were in stock was $430, shipping was $55 airmail or $81 speedpost.

I have an order confirmation, but still a bit sceptical on whether I have actually got one!

I'm thinking you and I both have. They announced on twitter and facebook that they'd got very limited numbers in (as Banzai said) and as Banzai sold out in under 30 mins, I'm guessing the same has happened here.

Keep the faith

UK stock quite possibly, alhough Tamiya won't want these missing Santa's sleigh !
