Hi there, Happy New Year to all!
Since the THAAD kit is supposed to be out for sale, I wonder if anyone here has seen a price for the kit, no matter in Europe, the US or Asia?

100 Euro + 35 Euro shipping

Seller is in Bredstedt Germany and ships within 40 days of receiving payment. The seller is probably buying from China and hasn't got the kits yet. I guess that the price includes a profit for the seller so the prices from real sellers in China will probably be lower ... just my guess though.
Wait a few months for the "real" price to stabilize

Buying in China is the way to go. But now and again guys ask about shops in Korea, so for Trumpeter fans this is the place to go - a few blocks east of the I Park mall. As you can see, they have a few Trumpeter kits on the shelves. (Inside it's hard for me to walk around without knocking stuff over) The newest kits can be gotten here for less than half what you pay in the states.



And since it's KOREA, this is the place to go for Academy. A few blocks north of I Park mall, on Keong-pa Ro.



I'm a bit visual when it comes to navigation. At any rate, Academy kits are RIDICULOUSLY cheap up on the fourth floor. I bought several of the Black Panther kits there. (for less than the usual cost of what the DEF T158 tracks in the kit cost stateside) Tried to sell one on here but had no takers.

I saw on Ebay, the Academy K2 Black Panther sell for around USD40 shipping is included. Shipped from S Korea. Since I bought a bunch of kits recently from Lucky Model's $2 special I am waiting a few more months before I order a K2 from ebay.
