Oh crap! Bang Head I brought the Tamiya 232 kit a month ago for about $35 while I was on a business trip in Ohio... anybody want to buy it from me now? 

 

No...

 

 

 

Wow. $35? I was ecstatic to pick it up at a show for just $8 sealed. Whistling

 

 

That's what happens when you buy kits at local hobby shop.  I didn't mind.  I like to visit those mom & dad hobby shops whenever I am on business trips.  This one was from Broadwalk Hobby Shop in Cincinnati... one of my favorite shops. Stick out tongue

Last week I finally visited Michigan Toy Soldiers Company in Detroit... one of the best shops I have been to and I am aware about the situation with the owner.  

I applaud your loyalty Andy. I just visited my old LHS   a week ago and found out they had new owners. I also saw "gasp" markdowns on some Dragon kits. Indifferent I almost bought one and in fact, may go back to get it. Perhaps there is hope for at least mine. Seemed like a really nice owner too.

It wouldn't surprise me if Dragon quickly releases "something" just to let everyone know that they have one on the way, whether they really have it in development or not.

Ye, that wouldn't surprise me. Still waiting for their Ostwind and 251 Ausf A kits, only been 2 and a half years. Think i should stop holding my breath.

Some nice releases from AFV, i have been thinking about getting some wheeled armour. And another Nashorn from them as well, nice.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Would be nice, yea...

remember that certain mfrs are 'apt' to post box art pics instead of sprue/built-ups, so I don't get "bov-vered" untill I see sprue/built-ups on anyones' site!

I'm really surprised that Dragon didn't come out with it first. Tamiya's kit is like 35 years old. This should be a nice update.
