Robert5000 928 Posted January 20, 2021 Excellent stuff! I've decided to be unabashedly hopeful and optimistic so I'm really excited to see the unveiling of the Avante 2001 and Nissan King Cab re-re on the 24th! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1527 Posted January 20, 2021 They need to give us that 959 & Blazing Blazer to make up for a thoroughly miserable 12 months. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert5000 928 Posted January 20, 2021 I couldn't agree more. I'm so glad we've decided on this, @Wandy! And I'm sure Tamiya is glad we've sorted it for them as well, saved them a ton of meetings debating the next re-re's. I'm off to a meeting now, so I'd appreciate it if you'd let them know what we've agreed on. Cheers! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The trouble is I have been "deciding" on this for the last 10 years or so and somehow they didnt get the memo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markbt73 5316 Posted January 20, 2021 Have they ever made an announcement before the announcement like this? I don't recall any. Usually something leaks, but I don't think I've ever seen this kind of "Tune in for an exciting announcement!" thing from Tamiya before. One would assume that it's something bigger than three more TT02 kits and a Purple Special Hornet... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's likely to be a way of drumming up hype with the lack of an actual venue to showcase their stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saito2 6686 Posted January 20, 2021 Maybe the Nova Fox will return. Oh wait, didn't they do that already? I was away from the computer for a second and it probably got discontinued again already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raman36 1656 Posted January 21, 2021 Hold your breath fellow Tamiya lovers. This is TamiyaUSA, not Tamiya Japan. Im fairly confident their announcement will be a regurge of what we already know from TamiyaBlog. I hope I’m wrong because I’ve been severely disappointed with TamiyaUSA in the past 2 years.

mud4fun 1696 Posted January 24, 2021 I'm getting so excited about the all new Tamiya race spec buggy chassis to compete with Associated, Schumacher, X-Ray etc with all new rugged suspension using modern materials instead of cr*p cheap plastic..... damned, just woke up.......it'll be the blue with pink spotted grasshoper* * celebrating the race colours of some random unknown driver that nobody has actually ever heard of who won one race in 1992...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tim04 45 Posted January 24, 2021 I can't wait for this announcement tomorrow morning (7am UK). I have just pre-ordered an Egress from a fairly big Tamiya outlet, so they are either chancing it or they have good information that it's going to be released in the morning. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
