RE: Holy Smokes Batman
$3000 for a painted 1/16 Tamiya tank that costs, what, $1500 (retail) unpainted and in pieces? $1500 in labor? I think everyone read the description...it comes painted, with the radio. If it wasn't put together by AIG exec's, Tamiya must be paying bonuses like AIG!
I looked twice to make sure it wasn't 1/6!
Tamiya has every right to charge whatever they want for their product, the market determines their sales, so if they can sell them for that, good for Tamiya.
