Percheron 15 Posted January 31, 2018 The Tamiyausa site and the international website don’t show anything new RC wise, from what I can find. The Tamiyausa site looks like it was last updated in 2002! I’m still hoping for the Falcon to be re-re’d! -Derek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TWINSET 1793 Posted January 31, 2018 How new are you looking for? Models announced for Nuremberg show aren't on TamiyaUSA yet but older new stuff like the Grasshopper II (2017 rere) are https://www.tamiyausa.com/items/radio-control-kits-30/off-road-buggies-36450/rc-the-grasshopper-ii-(2017)-58643 The official Tamiya sites are generally a good couple of weeks behind 'leaks' on social media Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbimaster 190 Posted January 31, 2018 The Nuremberg International Toy Fair is going on right now, we will probably have more information about Tamiya releases by the weekend. As of right now the Manta Ray, and Egress are getting another run......but who knows what else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HornetRacer 1971 137 Posted January 31, 2018 My question is......do wives ask for their husband's permission to spend the equivalent money on themselves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do they also come with a cover story for your wife that says it was honestly buy 1 get 2 free? And like the Hong Kong sellers who list the value at $4 to get by customs laws, can they arrange for $4 to show up on the credit card and accept payments in cash or bitcoins or something?

Haha that seems to be really common but I find that strange "you bought a boat therefore I'm going to add $50k to the mortgage too". Funnily enough my wife doesn't do that though, but its almost worse when she complains about having no clothes but then goes to the shops and comes back grumpy and empty handed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HornetRacer 1971 137 Posted January 31, 2018 Yes but I am not talking about a 50K boat. I am talking about 3 model cars! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadInventor 3884 Posted February 1, 2018 Any news / rumours on whether kyosho are going to be doing any new re-re this year ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pastimesteve 49 Posted February 2, 2018 I read that Kyosho is re-releasing the Turbo Optima on a blog site that tracks such things related to the Kyosho RC brand. Makes sense based on how things have rolled out so far. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the "information" on that page should be considered nothing more than guesswork, wishful thinking and rumours. I'm not saying that the wheel crowdfunding didn't happen and that the Turbo Optima won't be re-released, but the page is run by the same person that left Tamiyclub in anger because some of us confronted him with proof that his "inside information" and "facts" were simply guesswork. I have read some of the articles on his page and he still uses the same scheme; presenting a few of his own hypothesises, then just concludes that they are "facts" and then covers his back in case his guesses should be wrong by pointing out that the manufacturer (mostly Kyosho) might change their mind. As for his credibility, there's more here: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
