markiii Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 From what I hear, it was to be released stateside first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Roof Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Simply put, North America got the kits before other geographic areas. It is out of Lucky Models control and they can only ship the kits once they receive their order. You could order one right now from Scalehobbyist.com for $85.94 shipped and have it in about 5 days.

dehowie Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Kits are out in numerous places and have been for a couple of weeks. interestingly again that a Tamiya will not release to there local market ie a Japan release till mid November. It holds true from the last couple of big releases that Hong Kong will get them at a similar time as Japan. Sure there are plenty of unhappy Tomcat lovers in Japan seeing Tamiya catering to foreign markets ahead of home. Actually Unhappy would be a huge understatement!
