Still waiting on the TD in the uk. Jadlam insist it's this month along with a few other stores but some are still saying September.

Yeah me too…

Looks like July will come and go with no TD, then. Makes me wonder why Jadlam changed to July when everyone else changed to September.

The frustrating thing is that various other items have gone in and out of stock several times since then so they are obviously receiving other stuff from Japan.

Yeah I’m looking to see what else to build in meantime since likely will be September. Saw terra schorcher is back in a few places.

Still waiting for my Thunder Dragon.

 I hope that isn't your childhood picture, that kid must be in his 80s at the very minimum. The UK seems to have a pretty serious delay on kits...

Was in my LHS today and he had recently received a big order. A bunch of Thunder Dragons on the shelf, only one TF evo left now though as he got them a while back. I came out with $8 worth of springs

Thanks. That cheers me up no end. 🙄

Not a single of Thunder Dragon in local shops till now, though i can find some VQS, new TT02 quadtrack, new tt02 gtmk2. And with the new "Avante" controversy XD, i guess im just going to buy a kyosho or ho bao 1/8 buggy.

[nowinaminute 2815]

Guess which model isn't on the list....

I'm going to be optimistic and say they didnt put TD on the list because they needed them all to fulfill preorders...

 

So I'll get a nice dispatch notification soon to say it's on the way.

Yeah looks like a lot of different kits are being restocked in the UK… but no thunder dragons!

the super hot shot is one back in so one of them is on its way to me at least.

It's a shame tamico isn't shipping to the UK at the moment, as they're asking £266 + £18 for shipment, with 20 % VAT that would amount to roughly 341 (if my math is sound.) 

Yeah that is very annoying!......I'm not sure but isn't it to do with all the extra charges and vat and tax and more charges and charges for charges and tax ont top of the charges and vat on top of the tax and charges on top of vat......etc......well done boris!

Great that the body set for the Thunder Dragon and Fire Dragon will be available soon.

[mman2005 443]

Looks like a new Saint dragon on the same chassis as well. #47459. I must have missed the announcement somewhere

I always felt that the window wasn't big enough on the fire dragon. Driver gets a bit lost

[nowinaminute 2815]

Would be nice if they actually got the Thunder Dragon distributed properly before announcing the Saint Dragon. I might as well preorder that, it will probably arrive sooner.

I've tried getting a response from Tamiya via email and social media but no cigar.

I wouldn't mind so much but there's been TD unboxing videos on youtube for 2 months now.

The last sighting of my Thunder Dragon kit leaving the factory.

 seems like there are a whole load of them doing that. It’s like 5-6 months delay on these for UK. I’ve sneaked in 2 other cars in this time!

[nel33 870]

just order a bunch of olives and you get a TD well shaken by the time it actually arrives... maybe the olives might get shaken for a while also
