RE: Buy 'em by the case.
It's funny how someone with an overpriced 'Tamiya' collection always seems to be the one to come in and stir some ****, just because there is a company doing it cheaper!
Living in Oz it is a little harder when it comes to getting any RC tank - we don't have a lot to choose from down here and our import laws sucka-da-ballz (puts violin away).
Maybe the shipping gets cheaper when you buy in bulk. You would hope so!
I like the fact that i don't need to ***** myself on the streets to purchase a " Mickey Mouse" tank.
Given pcomm1's statement - i can't see how else he could afford Tamiya.
