Default Jesus, America!

I was looking at Taigen tanks on ArtisticHobnies and Hobbytron and the prices made my chest hair catch fire.

I thought paying $294 Australian for a Taigen tank was bad, but the prices on those sites are insane! I only researched those two, but now it made me realise that paying nearly $300 for a Taigen isn't so bad. Are you guys really buying them for that price or am I not scratching deep enough?

Artistic Hobbies I believe has the best deal ATM. He is doing free shipping on Taigen tanks. He just got a lot of IR Shermans sent to him Gene was our first customer to pre-order!

All you have to say is 'Free shipping' and I'm sold! Currently, there is an Australia Post warehouse being built on the East coast (I think)in the US of A and it will make shipping cheaper and easier. Thinking of buying soon. Just need to save my money.

The more I thought about this post, the less it made sense. I woke up early (2 am) and posted this since it was on my mind. Tired ramblings are best ramblings.

They will do it quickly also. I got the parts for the Pz IV in just a couple of days and everything works perfectly.

It just occured to me that I also have to convert the prices to Australian. So it's still going to cost a pretty penny. Hmmm.....

If only I listened more in math. :P

Get a hold of Mark @ OzArmour, I believe he is about to make an order from us very soon. It might save you a bit on shipping
You might want to do it sooner than later, I was talking to him yesterday on making a new order. If not at least you know he can get them for you.
