With ya on that one, Dingo aus. []

Even with postage to Oz, 90% of parts & supplies work out way cheaper than what I can get here.

Well at least you Australia guys know something about it..

Tamiya USA and Tower here in the States still have no idea and have heard nothing.. [!][!] Somebody must be sleeping on the job!!![|)]

Waiting and waiting

I know, It really makes me wonder what "genius" is choosing the range for Australia at the distributors? We never seem to really see some of the stuff the rest of the world gets[!]. And you are right, no wonder the local hobby shop is a dying breed and everyone does their shopping for this kind of gear on line.

It is interesting though, that if one or two of the Australian hobby shops took their inventories online, they might actually make some real money and be able to offer an expanded range!

Anyone want to start a business...?

Cheers,

Drew.

The funny thing is that due to the size of Australia and the uptake of playstation etc, I really can't think why Australian Hobby shops haven't been the first ones to go for a clicks-and-mortar approach?

Here in Brisbane there is one large Hobby store (and shall remain nameless) that recently moved from an expensive central location to a cheaper outer suburb then tried to get customers by putting big ads on TV. If they just saved their advertising budget and had a really good website instead, I might spend the fuel and cross town to check out what they've got (having seen the stock already online). As it is I just hit google, hit a few international sites, hit eBay get all the info I need, then place an order. Guess where I haven't gone to get the part - cross town to their shop.

A week or two later I have the part, lots of info and no hassle.

Anyone notice that the decal set is slightly different on the re-issue? Note the 'headlight' decals and one of the sponsor decals on the front nose.

Good to see that some sellers still are optimistic !

Anyone who knows how close the rerelease is to the original ?

I'm not saying it isn't legit, I'm saying $45 bucks to ship something that small sucks![][]

[netsmithUK]

even with shipping of $45.00 you still going to end up with one cheaper than trying to source it over here and probably a lot sooner too.

[mrlexan]

Shipping is expensive everywhere these days. Not much any of us can do about it. Not bad when you really think about the wait. I saw someone list a couple with $35.00 shipping.

[Gixer Jay]

James - Just think of the sales tax money your saving too if you were to buy one from a Hobby Shop here in the States.

I know what your saying though James.. $35 dollar shipping isn't to bad though in that auction.[]

[Clinehobbies]

Hate paying for shipping but it has to be done. Don't mind the shipping at jr-rc Allways get my items fast and safe.
