Poor Self Control? See also: Damn you Tamiya!

Tamiya makes it so hard to say no. A couple years ago when the new F-14A came out I jumped at the chance to get it. It is still in the plastic wrap.

Oh BTW, my Phantom arrived yesterday.

Alright....So who's gonna be the first to build it?

It's beautiful.  For sure.  And if my wife asks, it was on sale at Sprue for $29.99.......We're in this together!!!!

Would only get three, and that's if they were a D, E and RF 4C

Mine just came, but in my defense, I did not have a 48 scale F-4.  Now, note that I stated 48 scale.  I did build Tamiya's 32 scale F-4J many years ago, but this kit fills a void in my stash.

Heh heh, you know Greg I never watched "Dora the Explorer", just the twisted "Dora the Grownup" episodes on Youtube. I just love the opening song.

I was curious, thanks for 'splaining.

In my case it's my granddaughter's fault. After she visits, it usually takes a few days for my brain to clear some of the trademark tunes. Almost as bad as the It's a Small World song from Disney.

Sorry to everyone, I sort of got carried away becuase both times I read G's comments, Dora audio is seeping in my den from the living room.

I was unaware of the adult version, I'll check it out.

Absolutely.

Sounds like they're going fast. Literally fying out the door! 

Get 'em while you can, folks.  (I have learned to not procrastinate on matters such as this.)  Mine was shipped yesterday, and no, I'm not gonna tell her what it cost!

 

There will be no shortage on Ebay in the coming months and will likely be cheaper.  I learned this lesson with their P38 last year after splurging on a "limited edition" day 1 release.

To paraphrase Dora the Grownup: Dora: "Have YOU bought the latest keet of sometheeng, because it is supposed to be the best one ever, but you already have a closet full of older ones?" Boots: "I have." Dora: "MEEEE TOO!!!"

 

 

Of course, Backpack already had his.....

 

And the Map!

Sure are a lot of enablers on this site......

It's certainly a lovely kit and I don't regret the decision at all and I'm sure it'll build up real nice.

 

 

 

Dang it. I don't want one but you guys have me sold on that  I should. Lol.

Mine showed up a couple of hours ago, and I’m glad I got one. I have sold off or given away most of my kits, and just have ones that I want to build. I also have been selling most of my armies, and investing the money in Tamiya kits that I want.

Boots: "I have."

Mine will be here on Tuesday.  

Would I like one of the new Tamiya F-4Bs? Certainly. Will I pay the retail price or anywhere to close to that for one? Hell no! I don't care how nice of a kit that it is.  If I happen to find a good deal on one, and have the spare change at that time, I'll jump. But it's no "must have" for me. 

Learned my lesson many times.

So, I don't have a wife to tell me what I can and cannot do.

They do as they want ...... behind your back or in your face.

Isn't that the truth.

Could I really afford it?  Sure!......For what I told my wife I spent for it.....

"Better to be alone than to wish you were"

I just bought a ZM Phantom, I have limited build time and limited display space, a decent stash of 35-40 

So no, I will not buy a Tamiya Phantom no matter how nice it might be because I know it would be some time if ever when  I would get to it.

Maybe later,but no need now.

I feel so left out on this one.

I haven't bought a F-4 kit in a long time and way back then the ones I might buy were Air Force F-4s.

Sounds like they're going fast. Literally fying out the door! 

Get 'em while you can, folks.  (I have learned to not procrastinate on matters such as this.)  Mine was shipped yesterday, and no, I'm not gonna tell her what it cost!

Just got notified mine's on the way. 
I see myself getting rid of a bunch of my Hasegawa and Academy kits now that Tamiya and ZM have jumped into this fray.

From an old Phantom Phixer, I have the Revell offerings in 1/32 of the RF4C,  E and G, Tamiya 1/32 C/D, several in 1/48.  Haven't fallen prey to the new Tamiya or the ZM's yet.  Most likely just a matter of time.

Sure are a lot of enablers on this site......

It's certainly a lovely kit and I don't regret the decision at all and I'm sure it'll build up real nice.

Sounds perfectly normal to me.

I'm not even done with my ZM Phantom, have the Revellogram "Pharewell" 1/32 version from a HobbyLobby sale in 2015 unopened on the shelf, and I have my eye on one too.
