                        Tamiya MRC Time Capsule Diorama
                        Posted by mg.mikael on Friday, October 17, 2008 2:43 PM

                        I went to my LHS today and I saw this, the Tamiya MRC Time Capsule 1/35 scale Plastic Diorama Kit. They had kit's 610-Dunkirk, 630-Berlin Headquarters, and 640-Leningrad Winter. These are old/vintage kits, and he was charging $20.00 each. Long story short I decided not to buy one, because I felt he was badly overcharging.

                        Though now I'm wondering if anyone has ever built one of these "Time Capsule's," and if they are rare/valuable. And thus worth the $20 dollars.Question [?]  If anyone has info it would be greatly appreciated.Smile [:)]

                        Here's a pic of what the kit looks like. Note: This is not one of the kit's avaible at my LHS.

                        As a collectible, it might be worth $20. As a kit, hardly worth the $5 starting price on the e-bay link. These came out in the mid 70's. Tamiya's figures of the period are notoriously bad. Step away from the kit and no one gets hurt.

                        Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
