DutyCat Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 This kit is starting to hit the shelves in Europe. ROG catalog has it as a Jan- Apr 2012 release. Anyone know if it is going to be released in the USA? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) It is coming out in the USA as Tower Hobbies has it on pre-order. Date I've heard bandied about is April 30th from a couple distributors. It could be sooner though. Edited March 20, 2012 by Jay Chladek Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Chladek Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Heads up, it looks like the Geminis are hitting this week in the states as I hear some places have them already. My LHS is scheduled to get five of them tomorrow (and one of them will be mine). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Chladek Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I got one on Monday. Plastic looks the same as always, although it is molded in white instead of gray this time. I'll shoot a review video of it pretty quick (especially the decal sheet). A really nice bonus came in mine as my kit had two decal sheets in it. So I got the benefit of a sorting machine (or person) having two sheets stuck together). This is nice because now I can update the decals in one of my other Geminis and still have a complete new kit. BTW, the box says 1 of 5000 kits. If that is indeed true and not just a marketing ploy, I would recommend jumping on these when you can because they are likely going to go quick. I understand several places in the UK sold these like hotcakes to modelers who were collecting parts for SF kitbashes (such as Eagles from Space 1999). It looks like Tower Hobbies is temporarily out of stock, meaning the first batch they got all went out the door. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DutyCat Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Tower and Phils are both out of stock. All that is available on ebay is in the UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HL-10 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hannants in the UK still have some in stock: http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RV00028 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DutyCat Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hannants in the UK still have some in stock: http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RV00028 Well, that is just the point. I don't want to order from the UK because of the postage. All of the stateside websites are saying late April for the next batch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
