I received an email from Tower this early morning requesting a review on the pre-ordered Porsche. Sadly, I do not have one. I was kinda hoping I missed the “shipping out” email, but there is none. ☹️

Model Build pre-order cancelled here too

Same here. Kind of jumping the gun on that review request

Anyone else order from Time Tunnel Models? I had an interesting email from them today that my 934 will be on it's way shortly but to expect some slight box damage as their entire delivery (including many other kits) was "very badly handled" during shipping. Bit of a bummer but hope it's nothing major.

Apparently they had their order cut by 50 kits too so there are no spares either.

I fell victim to Tomley’s new video and pre-ordered from Tower Hobbies.  This will become close mates with the shrink wrapped 49400 sitting in my closet.

I was never really a fan of that guy, and after watching the video you refer to I feel even less positive about him than before.

Considering this kit is in such limited numbers and there are people here who are disappointed that they will not be getting their pre-orders fulfilled, it's a little annoying that he admits that he had forgotten that he ordered one. He must not have wanted it that much...

I bet he'd feel a bit daft if it got cancelled!

[Yoshimitsu 3475]

That's me that's selling guys. I've asked Deadmeat for permission until mine arrives and I can photograph it myself.

Its been dispatched.

👍

First of all I appreciate the heads-up.

Just a bit of clarification:

The poster of the image cleared it with me, so it's used with permission.

And also, I already received mine. In fact that picture is my kit on my guest room floor in front of my cupboard lol.

Cool, that's the main thing. Good note to self, on reflection it would have been better to ask whether DM had provided permission before just assuming someone was being cheeky

Good luck with the sale!

Yes, I know, hence the heads up....

That's the main thing, as per note to @Yoshimitsu above it would have been better of me to ask that question too

All's well that ends well

Here’s one listed in the last hour or so in open auction - see where this one goes! Glad to have avoided this by having a couple on order from the outset with two retailers with it seems a good chance of fulfilment (could be famous last words of course)

[TurboRSR 356]

Mine was shipped from Tamico today.

[moffman 5752]

Don't know much about this kit it's just not my thing how much was it originally retailing for? 

[KILLorBE 23]

@moffman US MSRP: $387.
Pre-order prices seem to be about $240-350.

Just got my shipping notification from Tamico this morning, coming to the UK 😀

In stock @Modellbau-Berlinski...

[Juhunio 6830]

It's here, and it's a very lovely thing indeed

Here it is with its older brother, which demonstrates what a great job Tamiya have done on the presentation of this issue (IMO)

[Yoshimitsu 3475]

@ Juhunio will you build it?

I'm not sure...probably not...maybe one day...not for a while at least anyway 

I built a 40th Anniversary edition with shortened plates and modified prop cups to hit the 230mm wheelbase for the 934 shell

Then used the leftover plates and various other spares to build a 236mm version sitting under a GT2 shell

So I've already got two built TA02SWs 

Right now I'm looking at this as something for the collection, a piece of history alongside the 30th Anniversary 49400. They've done such a good job of the presentation, the two kits really sit well together side by side 

[Yoshimitsu 3475]

Agreed, they are nice things indeed. 

To have them both.👌
