The prices have creeped up from Heng Long toy pricing, but not as much as Tamiya's latest offerings. The least expensive tank from Tamiya right now is the M4 Sherman and it does not even have recoil or a radio. This new Mato Sherman, if it comes with a Tamiya compatible Clark TK22 and a 2.4 Ghz radio is ahead of the Tamiya M4 when it comes to bang for your buck comparison. Not stiring the pot just offering the facts for comparison.
