I can't get Tamiya paints??!!

That's good to hear...

My LHS just got in a new shipment of Tamiya paint. Some are still the small 10ml bottles with the "Danger" label pasted on, but also some 23ml bottles that have the new California labels on. Our guess is the label is the issue with paints being unavailable for a time, and we are all happy to see the larger bottles. For a $1 more you get an additional 13ml!

If it's of any use, I had previously ordered a couple bottle of Tamiya's glue (in the orange bottle) from towerhobbies.com.  That was about 3 weeks ago.  I finally got an email saying they were shipping it, so maybe the paint is on it's way as well.

I'm not totally sure but I'm in the process of (TRYING) to change to Tamiya acrylics. California isn't helping any...

My LHS has been out of Tamiya paints for weeks. I thought it was because they were so popular, not because of some label issues. I didn't even think to ask...

By now doesn't everyone know that the "State of California" thinks "most everything... is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, respitory problems, blindness, deafness, baldness, laziness, ADD, hypochondria, and/or a visit from the Boogie Man, the Tooth Fairy, or the Great Pumpkin?" 

 

I mention this in a lot of my posts in this section and it's apparently due to labeling problems on the paints. Not enough safety stuff...

Yup ... I was at the LHS here in Kansas City Kansas and the Tamiya shelf had 5 jars!  I started to get scared..

I believe Tamiya is going through a re-labelling process on all of their paints.  The warning labels used to be only in Japanese.  They have been re-labelling them to show an English translation.  I noticed here in Maryland, USA, that the paint shelf at the local hobby store was skimpy on Tamiya paints for about a month.  Maybe that is the same problem where you are.  If you go to Tamiya's website, it shows all of their paints are out of stock.  Interesting...
