The search works fine for me with Opera 12 (yep, I'm still using the old one), Firefox 34 and Internet Explorer 11 on Win7:

If you type your string into the search box, let the first results load. For a full list of more detailed results, you can click on "view all products" below.

As mentioned, simply hitting "Enter" won't work, but fortunately there's that workaround.

Hmmmm, placed two orders with them since 24th December, the most recent has arrived but nothing yet from the earlier order. Bit worried now!

[ChrisRx718]

I placed an order with them back in November which took over a month to arrive.

Was it sent SAL (cheaper) postage?

[i_am_scarecrow]

Yes they both were. I've emailed them so we'll see if they reply. I'm still hoping it will turn up, I know they can take a while.

Well I must congratulate banzai on what I can only describe as first rate customer service. I recently placed an order with them and discovered they had missed one of my items. A quick email to them and within a week I'd received the missing part.

Well done banzai.

Just for info, ordered 4 x Willys (the figures) on the 19th, came today, that's pretty good

Wasn't SAL though... but really cant fault that timing and the packing was excellent

No customs etc of course

About two weeks

I've ordered one time from em and was pleased even though they started changing the website during the processing time if what I ordered but the new site is ridiculous and who ever designed it should have been fired.....they were fine to deal with but I wont be back until the website makes sense .......lol

[BigSteve]

I placed two orders with them on the 7th (sports tuned motor and 2WD buggy front wheels, tyres and inserts) both arrived today via SAL shipping.

Steve.

Panic over! My second parcel arrived today. Odd that it came after the second order but nevermind, I have parts!

[madmickmalone]

For me ,Banzai communication and postage is excellant ,especially living in Hong Kong.

Banzai's new support page works well with prompt email replies.

I have found that a few times there products listed are not available(back order required) but a quick email sorts it out, or even selecting back order if not available will work.

Stellas communication is also excellant,very prompt and excellant packaging.

_FINALLY!

_{So I changed my addresss from the Isle of Man to UK, and I can select a delivery method at last. Let's see how they get on with delivery then, massive order of lots of stuff ahoy}

[Mirrorman]

Just placed an order with Banzai.

Price of the kit with shipping (EMS) seemed OK .. let's see how long it takes.

[Dojo Dave]

Ordered mine The 6th got it today the 10th along with a TA06

[Mirrorman]

If Willy arrives that quick I'd be very happy.

All up he was ¥16,460 (aprox. Aus $172.00) including the EMS shipping to Australia, which is not a bad price compared to what price he is currently up on sale for on Ebay.

1 x 58611 Honda CITY TURBO : WR-02C CHASSIS (Tamiya 58611) ¥11,760

EMS (2.50kg) (Oceania and Others): ¥4,700

Total:¥16,460

Mine was 123$ us with Ems and I bought a TA06 to boot. Brought it up to 302$ us. Very happy and no duties touch wood it stays that way

I have used these guys a couple of times , the latest for 4 scorcher body sets and their prices are the lowest I have come across, postage is fair, packaging very good and delivery very fast. The only thing I don't like is that their web site doesn't work that well on my IPad so I have to resort to the old laptop or desk top to navigate effortlessly....and that means moving a child often which is no fun😒

The best thing about the latest delivery was the the wife was out walking the dog when the parcel arrived so she is none the wiser.😀😀😀😀😀

[markbt73]

Color me impressed... ordered a Wheeler re-re on Friday evening and it's sitting on my workshop floor on Wednesday afternoon. $137 delivered, packed well, no ESC, but I didn't need it anyway. Sure, the website is clunky, but you're not buying the website.

I'll be back... as soon as I'm allowed to buy another kit. (Gone on a buying spree in the past year or so and it hasn't gone unnoticed.)

[Leethal Driver]

Prices are very low...seem to be very low on all the stuff I need as well but not sure the wife would see it that way. Still waiting for the F350 but was shipped next day so will see how they get on, just ordered some goodies for my Jagermeister M-06 build too.

If you used their tracked shipping you'll have your stuff in like 3-4 days the are awesome.. I'm ready for f150 myself.

Bad news on this front.

Seems Banzai are in disagreement with their tamiya supplier (the factory?) and don't know when/if they will be getting more stock.

As they sell out of stuff they are taking it off the site. Has affected TRF mostly so far - which I expect they carry much lower stock of.

Edit: more than TRF, there is only around 10 different tamiya kits total now. And thta includes trucks.

[markbt73]

I was wondering where they all went. That's not good. I hope they get it straightened out soon. Glad I ordered my Wheeler when I did!

[Dojo Dave]

Got my High lift nice an' cheap....well relatively. Figure better get it while they've got them in stock

[Nobbi1977]

No mini 4wd anymore:-(

[Grumpy pants]

This looks to be true, there are only 19 Tamiya kits in stock including Tractor units and trailers.

It looks like it is £57 EMS for larger kits and about £30 for smaller kits, but no less if you order more than one at a time, is this right?

And then there is a risk of R.M handling charges and customs?

It makes me think that multiple kit orders would be better bought individually to help reduce the surcharge?
