At Tower's website, it still shows "Late February"..

On TamiyaUSA website, it is listed as "discontinued"

According to my Tamiya hookup, he can't get them anymore..

So that's it.. !!

Oh yeah, Lee, no worry, for you, you can just order them Pajero from Asia.. they still list those at eBay, etc.

Just that for us in US, the regular channel seems to dry up already...

I just noticed that this incarnation of the Laounge is now in Mark 3 version. So, going 1400 pages of posts made the last one mess up, say like 35000 posts. And the thread had to be closed. Does that also nean that members iwth more than 35000 posts would have to reset their post counts to zero to prevent RCU form messing up? [sm=lol.gif]

Nope, not at all. Not at the CT club at least, I looked over the list of cars, and they are all sporty cars. Someone raced a Viper ACR

And when they find out you took your car to SCCA event, they void your warranty... LOL!

It was a big thing in the car forum, I am sure you read about it.. ha!

hah! i remember that drama... i also remember saying that it was probably going to happen.

i think the smart people just kept their old Leggy, Imp or whatever, and just used that instead. [&:]

Hey guys, just figured I would drop in, rarely posted in the old lounge but after just lurking in the lounge it seems like a fun posting environment so I figured I would contribute a bit more!


Didn't feel like posting a new thread, but I am looking for a Tamiya kit to build on the cheap, thinking about a Lunchbox. And yes I know Lunchboxer will be happy to know that someone else wants a Lunchbox! So anyway, anything in general that would be useful to know about LB's/Tamiya kits in general? Asking here because I know alot of the common posters in the lounge have Tamiya kits.

What's Tamiya?! Never heard of it....

Get a LB and report back once you build it up.. you won't regret it!!

For LB specific info, go to the "Return of Lunchbox" thread.. there's tons of LB owners there...

How can you go wrong w/ an all time classic?!

Would you happen to know where I can pick one up for the lowest price? And I will be sure to post up the finished product (once I get one) in the Return of Lunchbox thread.
