I love tamiya kits and will continue to buy them however if the one I want is made by monogram I will almost always buy it.
"Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time".
just like certain other kits that are only made by one company in a quality molding,,,,,,I won't have a choice concerning buying Tamiya kits or not
of the 3 kits that they do sell that fit my collections' theme,,,,,,1 is only available from Tamiya as a quality molding, and the other 2 will still be cheaper than Hasegawa even after the price increase

DoogsATX Meh. Don't like it, don't pay it. And honestly anybody paying MSRP for Tamiya products - any of them - isn't being very smart to begin with. Sprue Brothers routinely sells for 20-25% off, Squadron slightly less so, Scale Hobbyist often moreso.

Unfortunatly we don't all get those kind of deals. And while kits in the US are as a rule cheaper than in the UK, once you add postage, you lose most of that saveing. So a lot of us have no choice but to buy at the MSRP. Well, we do have a choice. Don'y buy it.

.....even with a coupon or store discount, you`ll still be paying 10% more for anything Tamiya...

unsure if this is worldwide or just here in the USA

Is this a world wide thing, or just in the USA.
I have so many kits to build right now that I absolutely will not pay what they ask. I will have live 25 more years to build them all and I've even started to build paper kits on top of that.
You are correct, most if not all online retailers offer a discount off of MSRP. We do also at Redfroghobbies. We just wanted to give you guys a heads up that Tamiya is raising prices.

In these days of a slow or stagnant economy, these kinds of price increases just don't make sense. It is not just Tamiya, I see big increases from several mfgs. I find I am finally making a dent in my stash, and doing more scratch projects. I won't pay the prices I see on many kits these days.
People have always complained about kit prices, but for decades the increases were in line with, or even less than the inflation rate. That is currently no longer the case!

Least surprising headline of the day.
Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
Must be the drought...or is it the tension in the mideast, or the Tsnumai, or wait...just because?
Thanks for the heads up

No I don't but I can't say what other will do. Our price will remain the same till a restock happens of those items.
How about the stuff that you already have in stock,does that go up too ?
Hi all
Just a note to let you all know that Tamiya has announced a price increase of 10% starting Aug 1. This appears to be a across the board increase on plastics,paints and such.
Just an FYI
