I WANT ONE!!!

just looked at the site…

$25.99!!! WHOOOHOOOOO

My thought is “Just one???”

I preordered it at Greatmodels for only $23.99!!! Yes, I bought 2

WANT NOW

no credit card here. dang

Hey, I could get this one(two really) a flammingo from alan with my friend the T35 also, then a few more

I would never have to the hobby store for models again! (they steal my money and my sanity, and make me a bad driver)

a tiger for $24?? dragon is awesome~

Well, I will be obseesively checking Greatmodels site to see if it is in yet!! I still can’t believe what comes with it. Think about what you would spend if you bought Tamiya’s kit and all those extras!

for their panther kit with PE, it is $68 last time i saw one! No more tamiya tanks for me, I will buy three of these first!

OK, just a little checking
Tamiya’s Initial- $33.75
Brass shells- $8.60
buckets-$5
Barrel- $9.00
PE (Eduards big set is $17. Assuming smaller, lets say 9

That’s $65.35 folks

Gots to have one, or two, maybe 3 or 4[party], oh man my head is spinning!

I smell a group build!!!

I want that one and the late one

ooo, I hope the late is this loaded. Can you tell I am excited???

Sure sounds good!

no!!! LOL![:D] Actually you sound quite bored with th whole thing! lol!

I am not really a tiger person, but this might just be too good to pass up. I’ll be interested to see how AFV counters this.

[edit] Forgot to mention the price, that is Incredible!!! Thats cheaper than some of their other less “filled” kits.

And coming out in January is their 251/21 “Drilling” AA halftrack. That one is definetly on my list!

Me too! However I want a Mid-pro though. Do I wait for one to be built? I’m sure I’ll break down and get the Late when I do.

I have taken a valium and I am calming down now. Now i must wait [sigh]

I just did a Tamiya Midpro, so I can wait on that. I will be jumping on the Late, though zimmerit be …darned. [oX)]

AS SOON AS i CAN GET MY HANDS ON ONE! - FASTER THAN A NEW YORK MINUTE!

STEVE

I bet even Ted will be cured of his avoidance of Dragon!!
