600 balloons is a little rich for my blood. But then I don't really have an interest in King Tigers' in any scale.

Just saw this bit of news on Perth really wish they wouldnt do that when funds are low... GreatModels has it for Pre-order for $400 and Squadron shows the halftrack in stock..

A quote off of PMMS from the link provided by Tim above: That just plain blows! I hope this doesn't become common practice for Trumpeter, there's enough of the limited edition stuff going on with Cyberhobby. Mike

Limited edition limited to the number of pre-orders...hmmmm. While Trumpeter is certainly free to market (and produce) as they choose, I can imagine that somewhere down the line, one of those KTs will show up on eBay for big bucks. Sadly, no further news on Trumpy's 1:35 T-62s. -YL

Will 4500 sales, pay back for the outlay regarding research, tooling, marketing, and everything else that goes along with it? Will the tools be destroyed afterwards as this statement is true? I hate these sort of marketing campaigns geared to create hype and buzz. I´ll just buy a dragon 1/35 and AM interior, save $500 and be just as happy!

+1 cheers from the sandbox

makes me glad that I only do 35th scale tanks now. I too lament that Trumpeter still has yet to release the T-62 that was projected a few years back.

Hi Guys and Gals, This looks like it will be a very nice kit. i , however can't really see paying this much , perhaps when it gets out there and the real buying customers will not allow a $600.00 kit to be purchased. $175 US or even $185 US would seem reasonable, but honestly ? We'll have to see. The only kit that I would be willing to purchase at that price, and with hesitation mind you, would be a 1/72scale Fletcher Destroyer. Now that would be a purchase! Are you listening Trumpeter??!!!

Er, back to the topic at hand, anyone know when Trumpeter might announce their future 1/35th offerings? I'm curious if they'll extend the Sd.Kfz. 7 line to the FLAK versions....
