eTamiya question
Posted by waste gate on Wednesday, January 16, 2008 1:26 PM

I recently ran across this eTamiya site and was wondering if anyone has done business with them and what your experience was?  The reason I ask is the prices seem much lower than say Squadron. 

 

Example Tamya F-16CJ item number 61098

 eTamiya

http://www.etamiya.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=8752

Squadron

http://squadron.com/ItemDetails.asp?item=tm61098

The price is quite different!

 

Any input would be appreciated

I have never heard of eTamiya.com before so I have no knowledge about them.  One difference I do note right away at they eTamiya.com is out of China/Hong Kong if this matters to you.

Thanx for that super quick reply Gordon.  I see that the spruebrothers site lists the #61098 for a lower price than Squadron.   

 Unfortunately, SOLD OUT.

On your other point I don't see where the site states that it is direct from China/Hong Kong.

Thanks for your efforts

Looking through the Tamiya parent site, etamiya doesn't appear anywhere, so my assumption is that they are a distributor of Tamiya products and use their name under some sort of agreement.

I'd shop with someone I trust and is closer to home.

their site is a bit strange

to me they are selling them as an after thought and concentrate more on non -plastic modeling stuff      look at all the other brands
