  1. And that rant is getting so old, I am tired of hearing it , its 2013 ,its time to adapt or become extinct
  2. Same here , out of three wally worlds near me and all are with-in 4 miles of my house, only one has model kits
  3. Been back for I want to say a year now, not every store is carrying them, well least here in my neck of the country
  4. Nah, 2018 sounds about right , I am sure if we are graced with one in plastic I will get one
  5. This is not Ebay's fault, this is the brokers that deal with the import/export of stuff to Canada, they are the ones that are making it very expensive to to ship to/from Canada. It does not matter what method, or what carrier you use, they all have to pay the broker fees to get the stuff in an out. Research is your friend
  6. Just got mine yesterday, cant wait to start building it

  8. If they dont want to be bothered to stock what the customer is asking for, then you cant blame people for buying the products they want at chain stores, or online stores
  9. New flavor coming to a StarBucks near you :lol:
  10. Picked up another can of Tamiya Primer from Hobby Lobby
  11. What base coat you use depends on what you want the hue or shade of color coat to be. Spoon test's are the best way to find the shade you are looking for. A few things to keep in mind, and I am not an expert, so I could be wrong, white should be used for lighter colors, grey for darker colors, silver is another one that can really change the color as well. Black is a good choice for silver paint jobs. Red should be done over a white base coat,pink would also be a good choice, and silver as well. that is if you want it to be a bright red, but you want a darker red, grey, or red primer I would suggest for the color you are using, and if you want it to "pop", use a silver base coat, white would be good too, but if you are wanting it be more on the darker side, grey, and if you want it to be even darker, black base coat. Here is something to keep in mind, if you spray a bright color over a dark base, its going to dull if you will the color, spray a bright color over a bright base, its going to help magnify the bright color
  12. Check Ebay, I have seen them there a few times, or you can get this one, you will have to make a spoiler, extend the rear quarter panels down a little bit, and fill in the nose piece, but those are your only options, unless you dont mind using a diecast http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-RSetzer/-strse-2183/2008-Camry-Nascar/Detail.bok
  13. Not a bad deal for the ones that want to get the kit
  14. I was meaning like wheel sets and stuff, I bought a Hobby Design wheel set from HLJ, and it was about a dollar more with HLJ then from a seller on Ebay, but with kits, oh yeah, HLJ is better then Ebay hands down The time really does very, for instance, Aoshima's Aventador kit was out stock, I placed an order for it on the the first of July and still waiting for it, but I placed an order for another out of stock or backed ordered kit, I dont remember, but it was two days ago, and I received the payment email for it today, so it really just depends on how long the wait might be
  15. This a little bit more about the La Ferrari, this is translated , and its from Tamiya's website http://www.tamiya.com/japan/cms/newstopics/2397-hobbyshow.html
  16. No kidding,
  17. Care to elaborate what it is you are talking about?
  18. Agree with what has already been said
  19. Jim, I have no idea, I have not opened the kit up yet, I know there are some build threads in the truck section that talks about the Jeep
