One thing I've noticed about people who comments in these HL vs Tamiya debates is this:
People who own Tamiya Tanks: Love them!!!!
People who owns both Tamiya and HL tanks: Loves both of them, but sees and understands why Tamiya is better than HL.
People who owns only Heng Longs: Oddly fanatical about their Heng Longs, and love to bash Tamiya about how they are so expensive, and how Heng Long is equal to a Tamiya.
On a positively unrelated note, I also don't see why the 2010 Dodge Viper is so much more expensive than my 2000 Toyota Corolla. They both have four wheels and go vroom vroom when I push the gas pedal! I drove a friend's Viper once. Wasn't impressed with it. It drives the same in a 35mph zone the same way my Corolla does. Those Dodge Viper fools think their car is all that!
Well said you guys!
There's really no debate about it, honestly. His opinion or anyone who thinks buying a Tamiya is a foolish purchase has a right to their opinion. But one should not down people who choose or recommend a Tamiya. Sometimes I wonder if the negative opinions are based off ofjealousy, envy, the lack of funds, or choices to purchase these machines. It seems to always boil down to the cost of a tank.....but you don't see one person downing someone who spent or recommend $500-$1000 to have a fully upgraded HL tank with an asiatam set up and elmod and upgrades to correct flaws......not one person.
I suppose it's due to the simple fact that an HL owner can choose how far he/she wants to take it.....and Tamiya forces quality down thepurchasersthroat, as if Tamiya knows what's good for me!
Naturally, I would have never commented to City hunters opinion as he has a right to it, but because his statement is very broad and basically includes me and all those who recognize the quality of a Tamiya....well, it's offensive. Especially since I've made recommendations in this thread. Regardless.....there was really no warrant to bash Tamiya in this thread or feel the need to bash those who do buy and recommend them. I stand corrected if there were someone in here that said Heng Longs were a foolish purchase and Tamiya was the only way.
Any way, you fools who actually buy Coca cola for $1.75 are ridiculous and pure fanboys at it's best. My can of Sams club cola for 25 centsquenchesjust as well and taste just as good!..............NOT,lol
