Just saw some info on Tamiya’s big new RC 1/16 Leo 2A6 over at Tamiya Japan’s website:
Release date: June 8th.
Price: 118,000 yen ($1072 USD)
Man-o-man, you can get a real decent used car for that much…[;)]
Do you want to know what the price will be here in Denmark. The same as for the Tiger… here it comes $1600 USD. Yes thats true its $1600 USD.
So its no wonder that I order things like this abroad.
Dont understand the need for all tamiyas leo’s to be sodarn expensive… crazy stuff
Yeah, this stuff is gettin more expensive and my pockets aint’ gettin no fatter…
Ahhh, stop cryin about it. Thats the suggested retail price. Whent he TIger 1 originally came out, it’s retail was over a G note. Now, you can get em for about $500. If you truely want it, wait a few months and then order it. I gurantee it will be around the 550-650 price range.
Everyone on every messageboard is crying about the retial price…but in the age of the internet, who pays retail?? I really want this badboy, but i’m surely not gonna pay retail for this tank…i’d rather wait a month or so.
SO, don’t sweat the big stuff. Be second in line and save big.
That’s absolutely true…retail is for dummies!
Or the impatient.
Well Im not “crying” about the price I am just saying that all of the tamiya kits that are of the 2A5 or 2A6 are more pricey than any other tamiya kit in its class.Thats all!!
That’a a lotta Deutsche marks! Especially for a tank that is cool lookin’ but unproven.
Hmmmmm maybe we could get a 1/1 from the USSR for the same type of money they seem from other posts to have a lot just laying around.
On the other end of the spectrum, Tamiya still sells the li’l Stuart for 500 yen ($4.50 USD)…
Wow! Thanks for the info, J-hulk. Oh my…I can buy a new Yamaha Scooter with that amount. LOL.
Very true j-hulk very true.
