I would of ordered one from there,  but $19 to ship is a bit too much, when I can get it shipped cheaper.

I too am looking forward to building it, still got the paint for it.........well, need to decided on what color first

Yeah, mid Nov is what Tower has listed.     I bought the Deutz 30 from a UK seller and paid around $9 US for shipping, just got wait for everyone to get them.  I treat Revell AG kits like I do Japanese kits.

Yes, I ordered them when their website was showing stock, I got an email yesterday saying they were now out of stock, I phoned them to clarify, they were expecting them on an shipment they had coming in on that day, but they didn't show up, I was told they could well be in stock next week.

Good to know, thanks Geoff.

The ones I've seen on eBay from the UK tend to start around $27 + $15 shipping, think I'll wait on Tower Hobbies.   Model Roundup will get it eventually also I'd assume.

Interesting...free shipping to the US is unusual.

Yeah, normally the cheapest I see it is around $9 US.

I've ordered a bunch of kits from those guys this year. Like 5 of the Ford GT LM's and a McLaren 570 and a new AAR Cuda. All with free shipping (Canada). They've definitely got the best prices or very near.

One issue I have is that they wrap the kit boxes in those cardboard sleeves that really arent very strong. I few of my kits have arrived with slightly squished boxes (no internal damages) but the boxes were definitely a bit flatter on a corner or two. It doesn't help that the Revell Germany boxes are a bit soft already.

I just ordered mine. Thanks for the link I checked the other day and didn't find the kits up,

I think all but a few went up in the last 48 hours, this one went up today. Its safe to say the kit has been released now.

Now you can skip the Whats In The Box video ?

That seems to be the same seller as the Ebay listing,  both are listed as being in Chesterfield,   I would of rather bought it from their website, could of save a few dollars on sales Tax

eBay has been inconsistent w sales tax collection since they started collecting it a while back.  I’ve found I don’t get a sales tax charge on international purchases like this, but sometimes do from US sellers.

Ive been getting nailed,  my total was $29.10 , I got nailed for tax on the D30 tractor kit I bought from the UK as well, consider yourself lucky for the time being.

I'm not sure if it's an eBay thing or a PayPal thing, but sometimes the tax seems to rolled into one PayPal transaction with the purchase price and shipping, and other times it appears as a separate charge.

Done! Ordered mine from the megastore!  

Thanks for mentioning it!

I see the tax in the Ebay shopping cart.   The reason its different for you , Ohio is not one of the 34 states.  Looks like you made the right call moving out of state here?

That tax thing is a scam...or at least I'm calling it a scam, cause I've bought from US vendors and shipped to Canada and had to pay that "state" tax.

Also I've had the tax added in to the total on paypal and show up as separate charges on paypal, there doesnt seem to be a set standard for it.

I am in mandatory must collect sale tax state, that is why its different for you and Rob, I agree, but lets not go down that road and get this thread closed.
