Thanks!

Any ideas on pricing here in the UK?

Awesome, I cannot wait. Especially as subsequent kits like a Black Prince will depend on it's sale. Buy early and buy often!

Matt

I have no idea what the price will be as the importer pretty much decides that sorry.

I would like to think that they'd try to keep it as affordable as possible. I am certainly looking forward to it's release.

So far, Meng's prices have been awfully reasonable. I would expect this kit won't be a bank-breaker either.

Matt

There is a resin version of this kit from AA so the top price is set already.

Hi there,
I live in Germany and the bloke at the Model shop thinks
it´ll be around the 70€ mark = 55£. I recon it´ll be more than that, but who cares I want it anyway.
Paul

I would think the price should be somewhat comparable to the price of their Merkava.. which (at the HK stores) is about $55 + $15 shipping = $70.

Hisham

Great news. Given the quality of their Merkava, this should be a real gem.

I'm hoping this will be a good seller, as I'd love to see a US T28 heavy tank in plastic as well.

Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.

Yes! A Tortoise, the Black Prince and a T28 all in plastic and all on my shelf?!!

Sounds like a great Christmas wish. But I need more shelves now.

I doubt it would be £55, I would say around £35- as Matt said Meng's prices have been very reasonable.

Let's hope it gets shipped to the US quickly so we can get it on the shelves and not wait for weeks like we did with the Merkava..... You know, level the playing field a bit!

(Anyone at Meng listening).

such a large kit for under 40 euros is actually quite nice.

Hello all you starving animals,
5 hours ago I left work and visited my local LHS. I was
informed that the beast is on it´s way anytime now, and the official cost is (in Münster,Germany) 69.40€, approx 55£.
Please let me know what it costs where you are.
Paul

Hmm - shall I pay 40 Euros or 69 Euros? Decisions, decisions...

You might say that one rather makes itself, eh?

The Tortoise just came up on HobbyEasy for $43.59 USD, or 35.60€, or £28.22, or two chickens and a small goat, depending on your local currency...

Hi there,
seems to be quite a price range. Guess we will just have to
wait and see what it costs, when it hits the shop shelves.
Paul

I just noticed the tracks look very Tiger tank-esque. Is this accurate?

It is of course on the local hobby shop shelves here in the US, suggested retail is $69.95.

IPMS and AMPS club members get a 10% discount in our store.

Stevens International (Distributor) shows the T28 as available..
