rkranias Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Has HLJ shipped any Tamiya Mossies? HLJ site has Mossie listed as "Order Stop". Wondering if they followed through on their "revised" 30 Sept ship. I cancelled my Mossie order a few weeks ago as availability missed two of my Wearhouse shipments.

rkranias Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 jeez I've had mine for almost three weeks now, I live in Arizona. Paul Delivery timeline changed twice and missed my Private Warehouse shipments. Cancelled "20% Off Pre-order" in mid Sep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mikester Posted October 23, 2015 Members Share Posted October 23, 2015 Finally saw it at Yodobashi (who typically have the best prices for plastic) last night, the equivalent of $164 US, I expected it to be a little less than that.

nmayhew Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 i am one of the many 'cancelees' i think - switched to LuckyModel way back and my Mossie just arrived yesterday (surface mail) it took a (very) long while, but the price was stupid cheap - nothing has come close that i had access to in the UK i am unlikely to use HLJ again for anything to be honest: messing me around with shipping dates, prices that aren't the best once you factor in shipping AND most importantly of all for me in UK, they always put full value on the package, so i get stiffed on customs i realise this is not HLJ's fault per se, but it will drive me to use other vendors who are more laissez faire in their attitudes on a more positive note, the Tamiya kit is fantastic!!

rkranias Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Our Mossies came out to about USD$146ea from Lucky Model. HLJ Mossie "pre order" was about USD$130 plus shipping. After a couple guys bailed on our order I got nervous about getting rear ended on ship costs. When LM offered USD$2 ship (surface mail) I gave HLJ the heave ho and placed order through LM. Also got a discount for volume, USD$40 I think. Hopefully ours will arrive soon, shipped 14 September. Wonder how Surface Mail works across the Pacific? Just sayin'.
